River Dock Cafe — Restaurant in New York

I like this place. Good happy hour specials, good food menu, nice staff. It’s just not living up to its potential, it should be packed, especially after work Thursday Fridays. Have an outdoor bar on good weather days where people can socialize, clean windows, and make an entrance from the outside area so customers can come through the balcony. They even block their gorgeous view with a menu at eye level, you can’t really see the view til you get outside the terminal but by that time having to turn around and walk all the way back inside to enter is a hassle, and by that time first time visitors probably want to see what’s at the outlets. Get a friendly greeter and open the balcony for customers to enter from outside to catch them. Take your menu off the glass and put it on a stand so people can see your stunning view of NYC as they walk by inside the terminal. Small things can make a big difference. We want to see you guys succeed....

I would give them a zero if I could. I went to this restaurant thinking it would be a nice place to have lunch with my sisters on my birthday.The seating pleasant, table was nice, the menu wasn't what we were expecting. It only had 6 items to choose from, so before receiving anything but the table we decided to go elsewhere. But For some reason I don't know if he was the manager/owner/waiter or whatever became so upset that we decided to leave and said the most racist thing. His exact words "I KNOW WE TO GOOD FOR YOU. YOU CANT AFFORD A PLACE LIKE THIS"..First, we never was rude to anyone. second, because we're black we and can't afford ferry food lol. It's just the fact that he even went there just because we decided to go elsewhere is beyond sad I would never recommend this...

I had a good experience at The River Dock. From the moment we walked in, the staff were warm and welcoming—they even greeted us again on our way out, which was a nice touch. The location is beautiful, right by the ferry, with good water views but it was slightly obstructed by the docks.

I ordered the build-your-own pasta with lemon parmesan sauce. It was very heavy on the lemon - actually too much lemon. I had trouble finishing the dish. The chicken was cooked perfectly—tender and flavorful. My ice-cold piña colada hit the spot on a sweltering 90-degree day.

We sat outside to enjoy the breeze and waterfront view, but the indoor seating was just as inviting: clean, stylish, and cozy, with plush red couches that added a touch of charm.

Highly recommend for both the...
