Best Romantic Restaurants in Governors Island

This was where we chose for my best friend's bachelorette dinner, and she loved it. The ambiance is energetic, and the Christmas decorations make it festive and beautiful. I usually get the Filet Au Poivre, but this time I got the beef bourguignon, and it did not disappoint. The beef fell apart and the vegetables were tender and not overcooked. I also got a Caesar salad as an appetizer. That was fresh and the dressing was homemade. If you love anchovies like I do, this is an excellent salad! For a drink I chose the La Toissaint, and that was spectacular. I highly recommend this place if you love great food, great drinks and a festive atmosphere!

Everything was delicious I had a 3 course meal of lobster bisque, ribeye steak, and a “chocolate soufflé” I would’ve given a 5 star all around bc the place is beautiful the staff is amazing but my steak was so fatty! I had to pull pieces of fat out of my mouth when chewing no one wants that and for the price you would think they could cut the fat off. The lobster bisque was perfect no complaints but the “soufflé” is just a lave cake with melted ice cream in a cup idk I wasn’t to impressed but all in all I would come again atmosphere is great staff is great first time in New York checked OIBLOIBS off the list

Very fresh, delicious food. Recommend the scallops appetizer, set on a bed of mashed potatoes - melts in your mouth. Meatballs, any appetizer with eggplant. pear, radicchio and walnut salad makes you forget it's winter. The lamb chops are extraordinary and of a quality only a restaurant can get. Black cod Livorno - luscious!! Palma's pastry chef is exceptional - you can taste the actual ingredients without being overwhelmed by the sugar. Attentive, but not intrusive, staff. Charming, romantic setting, with fresh flowers everywhere!!

Very cool space, would have loved to eat in the vault! Food was amazing.

A great place. We were a group of 8 and every one of us found the food really good. The steak was fantastic and I had some of my husband’s salmon - so good! Will definitely go back if the opportunity arises. Well worth it.
