Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Battery Park City

It was a wonderful Christmas dinner! Food was excellent and the whole service crew was very friendly and attentive. Special thanks to Jasmine who has been phenomenal! We learned about the Christmas cabin from her the last time we were at the restaurant!

Very good Restaurant. The waiters did a perfect Job, the food was delicious and the ambiente was really nice. The Restaurant is small and it was very full, but the level of noise was totally ok. I can only recommend this Restaurant. Loved it.

Such great service and authentic tasting food! Will definitely be back.

Wow. This may have been one of the best meals of my life… seriously. We had the tasting menu. And we love tasting menus - have had them all over the world and this rivaled a Michelin star restaurant in Rome (Imago - definitely check it out). Service impeccable. We had a 7pm show to attend and I asked ahead of time (on Open Table) if with a 5pm res (when they opened), could we make the show without a problem? And - they were totally on board - waitstaff were efficient, informative and friendly. Almost everything was on skewers, and I found out the next day (talking to a Korean friend about this gem) that “kochi” is Korean for “skewer!” Standouts were the beef (skirt steak I think) and the octopus but nothing tasted less than excellent.

The hostess was welcoming, attentive & all around fabulous...we ordered the buratta & the meatballs which was delicious, the Brussel sprouts were was too Al dente, the branzino was wonderful although small & the flavor of my steak was great but I'm one who from experience won't send a steak back when under cooked at a restaurant that's crazy busy, how a chef or server cannot see the difference between medium rare and medium well & delivers it after specifically being told no pink, no red, no blood is beyond me. Had I not waited on line behind 6 ppl to use the one bathroom I would have been there when my entree arrived. Without asking the server spoke to the manager & had the steak removed which was very thoughtful, however I would have preferred to eat my entree with my partner since it was our anniversary. We'll definitely try again on our next trip back home as everything else about this place was beautiful.
