City Vineyard & Wine Garden at Pier 26

“Stunning rooftop with very funky melodic house tunes (think Fred Again), perfect for sunset drinks and small eats. We had the watermelon and feta salad, Risotto balls (incredible - basically arancini in a red sauce), and the bar staff on the rooftop kindly swapped the Chardonnay in the martini twist to St Germain for me - best martini I’ve had in my life. Would love if the rooftop was able to serve in glass tho. But otherwise epic service, food, drinks, views right on the Hudson overlooking Pier 23. A must stop”

“What a phenomenal Sunday evening we had, having the back rooftop patio almost all to ourselves for my partner’s birthday! And whoever was the Black gentleman who worked upstairs keeping the back of the rooftop patio clean and organized — I’m not sure I’d ever seen someone so dedicated to his shift. We were a group of 13 and so we put some of the tables together (it is first-come, first-served on the upstairs patio). He pointed out where we could grab more chairs if needed, and asked us to leave the remainder of the tables for other people. Then whenever people came upstairs and got seated, he would arrange the remaining tables and chairs so there would always be an open spot for whoever would arrive next! There is no waiter service upstairs, but he did also offer to take our trash to help keep our table neat. We stayed for a few hours long after the gorgeous, fiery sunset was gone. What a chill and memorable location! You can order food to-go from the dinner menu at the downstairs bar and bring it up in a cardboard container. Amongst the table, we had truffle fries, the burger, the lobster roll, and some flatbreads…. It all looked and tasted great! Additionally, the one bartender downstairs was so friendly as well! Great crew on both floors last Sunday! I’d never been to this location before, but the vibe, service, and food was exactly what I was hoping for for this surprise party.”

“Cute restaurant on Hudson with beautiful view! We sat on rooftop to enjoy a view of west manhattan and catch last warm days. We ordered Cesar salad with chicken, for drinks Aperol Spritz. Bartender was super nice and his drinks which he made for us were AMAZING!!!! Highly recommended!”

“First time I've ever stopped by here and I wasn't disappointed. The bartenders were awesome and made my experience even better. They had some awesome frozen cocktails and a nice selection of wines. I tried the truffle fries which were pretty good, but the risotto balls were 10/10 I highly recommend those. Spent the afternoon into evening on the roof just vibing. Seating was okay for the most part, and I liked the lounge area they have near the stairs it's good for a bigger group of people. Staff was friendly on the first floor as well, and the bathrooms were very clean which was a plus for me. I got to see a beautiful sunset on the rooftop. The view over the Hudson was really nice. I will say the food and drinks were a little pricey for me, but not bad because you definitely get your money's worth for the quality you get. I'd definitely recommend this spot if you happen to be at the pier and just wanna relax, grab a drink and a little something to eat, or just enjoy the views. I'll definitely be coming back again.”

“This review pertains to a dining experience during the winter season. Our party was seated on the rooftop within a well-insulated dome, which accommodates up to 8 individuals, although slightly cramped for larger groups. Despite its effective insulation against the cold winter air, the dome's limited ventilation led to stagnant air quality, resulting in the circulation of carbon dioxide among diners. Furthermore, the materials used in the dome's construction when heated by the portable heater, it may pose respiratory risks for individuals with pre-existing health conditions. Notably, restroom facilities are not available on the rooftop, necessitating a descent to the main entrance. Nonetheless, the panoramic views of the Hudson River and downtown financial district skyline were truly breathtaking. Our server demonstrated exceptional attentiveness and courtesy, earning high praise. The cuisine and beverages served were indeed of high quality. Considering these factors, this establishment would be an excellent choice for a lunch or dinner engagement during the warmer months.”
