Grand Banks

The day we were there it was a windy and blustery day but we enjoyed our oysters. They were fresh and delicious. We ordered french fries too, we liked the fries so much we ordered seconds. It was their last day to close for the season. We sat on the sunny side to keep warm. You do feel the wave when you on the boat. Since it was cold the boat was empty, otherwise it would be tough to get reservations.

Great place for cocktails, wine and other sundowners... Good oysters and snacks. A bit pricey, but then, you're on a boat in the Hudson enjoying an amazing venue and view. Totally worth the visit if you're on a date, or just want to soak in the fresh air.

This is a Great spot to chill relax with a drink ???? & light food, fish , lobster, oysters & salad. The prices are what you would expect for being on a boat in Downtown NYC $$-$$$. The location is prime docking real estate downtown NYC Tribeca Hudson Bay near pier 25. This location Has Great views of the NY harbor, Statue of Liberty ????& Hudson bay. Just remember you are on a large older wooden sail boat, even though it is docked it does bounce around a bit so if eating or drinking on a boat makes you a little nauseous it may not be for you. But I love that type of atmosphere, the light waves are soothing and you get a nice breeze off the water, although July & August can get uncomfortably hot in the daytime hours. There is a shade canopy but does not cover the entire boat. This restaurant is also only open seasonally so opens end of May to end of October. Hours from noon to midnight. Also, be smart about your timing because it is a unique spot it gets really busy especially evening weekend hours and you may get rushed with your meal. I like to go either during early lunch or late lunch hours between lunch & dinner, to try and dodge the crowded busy hours. But if you go on a not so busy early evening the sunsets ???? are beautiful. Relax have a???? drink????They have nice summer cocktails. I have also had a nice time communicating with the staff, nice & hospitable for the most part.

Make sure you avoid the boat when it rains. They have limited coverage, especially if windy.

The oysters are reasonably priced and as good as you would expect. The cocktails are decent, but there are better bars if you're looking for an inventive cocktail. This is definitely a place you go for the atmosphere.
