Hudson's At Pier 81

I had a great time. It was an unexpected treat. Took the boat ride to Staten Island with spectacular views of the New York/New Jersey skylines and Lady Liberty. The boat had the upper deck for open views, a cozy family friendly/romantic restaurant on main level and awesome lower level lounge with fantastic bar and music. The staff was wonderful. And the drinks better, not watered down. It's a great time for a girls or guys night out, an amazing date or just to party with friends. It was impromptu for us. But I would definitely like to go again for a romantic and intimate memory with someone special on a warm summer's eve. It was freezing that night but worth every shiver. Thank you Pier 81! It made my day in New York that more exciting.

Absolutely fantastic views and a great night all together, food was good but not worthy of the price unfortunately, and they also overcharged on the tip not sure if that's policy but the recommended tip was 25% of the overall bill but I paid it as the waitress did not let our glasses get empty the whole night and I would recommend it to anyone.

First of all, the staff was incredibly nice and accommodating, and our server, Eric, was attentive and personable. I loved the atmosphere...great DJ (Alex), he knew what to play to get the crowd going. I used to do the World Yacht, but this ship is so much better and esthetically pleasing, with an outdoor bar on the top deck. My 2 complaints are the following. The price of the food was a bit expensive for the portion served and too nouveau for me (also very salty). But the presentation was very nice. The other complaint is that the time/cruise on the river is only 2 hours long as opposed to 4 hours with World Yacht. Then you have another hour on the ship for dancing and drinking after it has arrived back to the port. I’d rather be on the harbor to be honest. But in all honesty, I had a lot of fun. It was my birthday and the staff made sure that I had a great time! I’d like to thank them all!

We had a most wonderful dinner cruise!. The food was amazing. The slow cruise to the Statue of Liberty is a great setting. The sun was just going down on us as we returned and the lights of the city were beautiful. I must mention the staff was so nice. Clayton, our server, took the best care of us. He put great care into making our dinner evening so special. Thanks Clayton!
