The cuisine lives up to--but never outshines--one of New York's truly stunning settings, the base of the Brooklyn Bridge.

In Short

Flowers and fairy lights are appealing, but it's the honest-to-God knockout location at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge that guarantees the River Cafe its romantic reputation. Banquette seating means every chair has a view of the surprisingly magical East River. The capper: Service that is a divine mix of attentive and unobtrusive. As for the food, the restaurant has far better cooking than it needs to. Chef Brad Steelman is the latest in a noble line that includes David Burke, Larry Forgione, Charlie Palmer and most recently, Rick Laakkonen, all of whom had the luxury of working with the best ingredients obtainable, and working with a staff trained to the nth degree by legendary owner.
