Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Financial District

Love what they've done with the patio for live entertainment while still keeping that neighborhood feel along with the great food and warm service. Bravo!

Sydney on the piano was fun interact with, we enjoyed her music selection, it made the night. I’m happy to have tried the chicken pot pie, it’s a dish I haven’t had in years and Fraunces has a great one, I’ll be back to try more.

I never take the time to write reviews but Ocean Prime is well deserving. We came in celebration of my sister’s birthday and it was a fantastic choice. 10/10. Everything we ordered was delicious & our service was impeccable. Stay the same Ocean Prime !

Such a wonderful birthday celebration at Bazar! The food was exceptional, especially the complex watermelon salad, which went so well with the ahi tuna tostada. Also a vey special cauliflower tapas, toasted in the oven, with 2 unique sauces. Birthday song with sparklers made the evening complete. Sound levels were quite high, but added to the festivities. Everyone around us was having fun:-). Highly recommend.

We ate early at Wild on a Wed. Not crowded. It's a cool, funky little place. Entirely gluten free, which I appreciate very much. They also have vegan cheese for us dairy free folks. Although I'm sure they use a ton of butter in everything too. The portions are fairly small, but that's better for us. I had the chicken piccata which came with a small side of pasta. I don't know if those were dairy free, fyi. But they were yummy. We had the fritto misto as an app, which is exciting because I never see that option as gluten free. And it was great. Small. But very light and crispy. My friend had the lobster ravioli. Which I will say was more sauce than ravioli, and only had the essence of lobster. But the sauce was amazing. And they have GF focaccia which was way too good. They also have a major dessert tray that looked gorgeous, but we escaped without it. But I've had their desserts before, and again, that's a very rare finding for GF. For sure, we'll be back.
