Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Battery Park City

Our server Fariz (I think that was his name) and the rest of the staff was impeccable. Kind, warm, and attentive. My daughter Eloise (yes, that’s her name) was over the moon!

Odeon is one of my favorite restaurants - my go-to when I want a relaxed, pleasant meal with great food. Tonight I had a lovely French Onion Soup with the perfect amount of carefully toasted cheese, croutons and onions. The broth alone is a worthy, rich appetizer. The macaroni and cheese was the ultimate comfort food for this chilly evening - cheesy without being too thick or too soft - that I paired with a basic but tasty mixed green salad to make me feel healthy. I finished with my favorite dessert - the toffee pudding. It is sweet with just a touch of chewy caramelization on the crust to contrast with the tender center and an accent spoonful of perfect whipped cream. The staff - from the maitre’d to the waitresses to the servers and busboys - are exceptionally kind, efficient and just nice people. Yes, I love Odeon!

Lovely experience. Our server had the best recommendations and whenever there was a need for something he was there to help. The food was delicious and I had to hold myself back from ordering more

It was very elegant, the view at night was gorgeous, the presentation and service was amazing 10/10. Food did take a little longer than expected but when it came we devoured our plates. The pork chops are very juicy with a sweet light sauce on top very delicious. The burger is also a good option with the caramelized onions. The only pictures we took of the food was the Caesar salad which was also decent.

The dinner was spectacular in every way. Hygge in New York! The atmosphere was cozy, congenial and filled with Christmas cheer. Flowers and soft candle light everywhere. The punterelle salad was perfectly dressed with ample anchovies, the sea bream en papillote was tender and infused with deep flavor. Add a perfectly balanced negroni sbagliatto to start and the evening was perfect.
