Governors Island​のベストカクテルバー

Our favorite place for dinner in downtown Battery Park City area! Three times here for special occasions, and never a disappointment, in fact, expectations were exceeded every time. Service was always impeccable, food, ambience and quality all equally impressive. I will be going back in a couple of weeks.

Our server was very nice and detail oriented(Adriana). The food was good, I had steak, my wife had blackened salmon(it’s okay not quite special for its price), the fries and burger was good. The cheesecake was good as well. However the sound system(speakee)was directly above our table and it was mad blasting, it competes with our conversation. The view was nice. However due to the christmas lights indoors, it reflects when your peak through the glass window.

Absolutely AMAZING! The way they paired each ingredient and flavor complimented each other. We shared the Apple & Gorgonzola salad and there was the perfect amount of dressing and ingredients in the entire salad & it was big enough to share as a starter. My husband had the broccolini pizza . I had a piece and it was one of the best gormet pizza’s I’ve ever had !! Again, the way they paired each ingredient was carefully selected and thoughtfully created! Yummmmm!! I can’t even begin to tell you how perfect it was! It was big enough to share as a starter or for one person as a main course. Finally, I had the Sea Bass . It was THE BEST sea bass I’ve ever had in my lifetime!!! They ,again,carefully selected each ingredient to compliment each other and to make each bite explode with delight in your mouth. The service was top notch. I forgot our servers name last night on 12/19/24, but she had light brown/blonde hair and she was FANTASTIC! This is coming from someone who had been in the restaurant biz my entire life as a server and a bartender with over 30 years experience. The support staff was also an A++ and our water glasses never went dry and they cleared and crumbed through each course. They were all on top of it! We didn’t have any cocktails so I can’t say how the drinks were but they looked delicious! They also have private little cabins outside in the winter to have some parties in for parties of 4-10, I’m guessing . It’s a pre fix menu for $95 a person and it looks to be a GREAT TIME OUTSIDE!! The indoor bar was very festive with Christmas decor and was absolutely GORGEOUS!! The entire ambiance was beautifully decorated for the holiday season. It put a smile on our faces! With over 25,000 restaurants to chose from in Manhattan,I am beyond HAPPY we came here! We will be back again! Thank you kindly to our server, support staff , cooks and chef. We loved every single bite!!

We always have a great time at Bar Contra. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Small plates from wild air are delicious and the cocktails are creative and there is something for every one. Theo is the best! We always try to sit at the bar when him and his colleague are there, usually on Fridays. Will be coming back repeatedly

Very hip place with sweeping NYC views. Drink prices are on the high end, but well worth it for this type of experience.
