Best Date Night Restaurants in Governors Island

Thank you for a wonderful evening my wife had a great night on her birthday! . Olivia our server was great and made the experience memorable.

Nice venue with charm! Food was excellent with really good service.

Came here for my boyfriend’s birthday with his parents. From start to finish, our experience was amazing- which is happening less and less in NYC. The staff was so kind and friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. The atmosphere was beautiful! Quiet, cozy, not overwhelming and so clean. We started with the focaccia which was delicious and a couple of other appetizers. We all enjoyed our dishes and it was the perfect portion. Their cocktails are great too! Especially the classic spritz. The staff was so attentive and made my boyfriend’s day feel extra special. Thank you, Palma! Can’t wait to return.

This one lives up to the hype! Every dish we had was memorable and something we’d come back for! Grilled cheese dumplings, kale & apple salad, miso eggplant, truffle mac & cheese and beef Wellington all highly recommended… the steak was super tender and tasty (we were skeptical). Oh and the espresso martini! You won’t be disappointed!

Made my return to this restaurant for the third time to finally experience the happy hour menu. I tried the sliders, the wings and the hush puppies. Everything was delicious!!! To top it off I had two of their signature drinks called the Filé sour . My favorite drink right now is their seasonal cocktail their Winter sangria which is really like Christmas in a glass, however, it is not on a happy hour menu. Our server, Liam was friendly, professional, and kind and if you’re ever there celebrating a birthday, please request Patty, who has the voice of Jennifer Hudson meets Tina Turner to sing for the guest of honor!! if you have an experience this restaurant at least once I encourage you to do so signed a faithful customer!
