Restaurant-quality food in a beautifully designed space, complete with a waterfront view and rain-resistant umbrellas that keep the outdoor seating comfy in any weather. The mango drink is a must-try refreshing and perfect for the summer season!
It’s been years since I last came, and wow!What a transformation! Beautiful views, great vibes, and it’s super welcoming for both two-legged and four-legged friends (yes, pups are allowed!). The food is fresh and flavorful (hot honey chicken sandwich was amazing and brought just the right amount of heat), the drinks are on point(blackberry mojito.... yumsss), and there’s nothing like enjoying it all at a table overlooking the water. Afterward, take a stroll to the pier and watch the boats glide by perfect way to round out the experience.
The perfect summer chill spot You don't have a waiter so you don't feel rushed to leave, but they will bring your order to you. Delicious brunch, everything made in-house including the biscuit! All the drinks you'd ever need (frozen cocktails, espresso bar, boxed water, coconut water). And great vibes from Chef Pedro Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!
Love everything about this place. I had the Ceviche (Aguachile) and watermelon salad, it was delicious.
This place is great!! Obviously, it's not a gourmet restaurant but for outdoor summer cafe or bistro dining, it's a home run! We had the watermelon salad, trust me order the dressing on the side! Also shrimp tacos and Aperol Spritz. Very light on the alcohol, which is appropriate for a hot summer daytime cocktail. Talk and walk along the pier and enjoy gorgeous sunset views. Super easy to order food thru the QR codes and it comes out fast. Pick your table first, order online, you get a text that order is ready at the Pick Up window. So convenient and a perfect afternoon to kick off summer in the city! Prices are very reasonable. Check the Riverside Park Conservancy website for entertainment schedule. Lots of music while we strolled by.
Great food and an even better vibe! Pier I Cafe is the perfect outdoor spot to unwind. Nestled right along the Hudson River, it offers a breezy, scenic escape from the city buzz. The ambience is relaxed and inviting—ideal for a casual bite or a peaceful break with friends. There’s a wide variety of food options to choose from, and everything is fresh and flavorful. Service is quick and efficient—just place your order, pick it up, and settle in to enjoy the view. Whether you’re taking a stroll through Riverside Park or simply looking for a riverside retreat, this cafe is a gem. Highly recommend for a laid-back, delicious experience by the water!
Great, chill, spacious restaurant along the water! Even with my very nice bike, I found a table along the wall where I could put it safely and enjoy the views and food. There is so much seating everywhere, and great for groups, families, date nite or solo even! The food menu I found a bit limiting, and I really enjoyed my fish and chips (extra crispy) and my friends loved their lobster roll. The calamari also looked excellent but we didn't have room. Lots of beer choices. There is no table service. So order online, or get in line and order, food is made to order. Free iced water, nice cold beer. Enjoy!!
