Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Battery Park City

Returned here after several years away, and it’s better than ever! Not just the very good fried oysters, which haven’t changed, but the fresh fish (Boston scrod, striped bass) and the exceptionally fresh raw bivalves (big, juicy Chincoteagues from Virginia, remarkably fresh Kumimotos from out West) are standouts. The prices seem pretty reasonable, considering. The room is loud during the height of lunch, but the noise seems compartmentalized and is manageable. Service is good, the kitchen slow.

I love the adjustments they have made to the menu. The classics are still there , but some new items have been added. Looking forward to returning and trying them.

Had 4 apps and a flatbread. They were all beyond excellent. And the drinks were delicious.

Just had an incredible dinner at Chambers in NYC and I’m still thinking about it. Lately, I’ve found myself going back to the same few restaurants—not necessarily because I want to, but because so many new places haven’t really impressed me. Chambers completely changed that. The vibe is warm and stylish without trying too hard, and the service was genuinely top-tier. Our waiter, Angel, was amazing!! Attentive, easygoing, and made the whole experience feel effortless. The food was elevated, and just really special. The crudo was fresh and beautifully balanced, and the coffee cake (yes, get the coffee cake) was an unexpected highlight. Definitely one of the best meals I’ve had in the city in a while. Can’t wait to go back. Not sure how they don’t already have a Michelin star.

Everything was great and our server ( I forgot her ñame but was a Mexican lady) was so nice and sweet, we really enjoyed our time there!
