Best Waterfront Restaurants in Great Kills Park

My wife and I visited Cecconi’s to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary, and the entire experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The staff was super nice and went out of their way to make the evening special, seating us at a table with an incredible view that perfectly set the mood for the night. Every person we interacted with was incredibly welcoming, but they truly went above and beyond by bringing out our dessert with a special candle to surprise us for our celebration. We really appreciate the whole staff for making our milestone so unforgettable and would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Let me start by saying we reserved a table for our anniversary on a Thursday and experienced their "Tomahawk Thursday" event, and the experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the customer service felt deeply personal. The staff went above and beyond, with almost everyone greeting us with a happy anniversary, and we were touched to find personalized menus waiting for us, alongside a complimentary glass of champagne to start our evening. The Tomahawk was the undisputed star of the table. The moment it was brought out, it was a magnificent giant of a steak, filling the air with the incredible aroma of fresh meat grilling. We ordered it medium-rare, and it was ridiculously tender, juicy, and cooked to absolute perfection. For our sides, we chose the broccolini and mushrooms, both seasoned and prepared deliciously well. We finished with dessert, the flourless chocolate cake and the mango passion fruit mousse, both thoughtfully decorated with a "Happy Anniversary" chocolate sign. Outstanding! Beyond the incredible meal, the ambiance was calm and elegant with books on the wall and a whole glass wall with the downtown Manhattan as your view. Nestled right with a view of downtown Manhattan at its doorstep, the lighting and decor are tasteful without feeling overdone. The trio playing live jazz added a gorgeous ambience to the room. Our server hit the exact right balance: attentive and always on cue when needed, but never intrusive. This dining experience was worth every penny and more. Driving down here will officially become a new anniversary tradition for us. Tip on Parking: Parking is free! Just make sure to enter your license plate number into the kiosk at the front desk when you check in so your car gets registered.

We had a great experience. I am gluten and dairy free and my server was able to customize my order. It was a bit loud with the band playing but overall a very nice experience.

My husband and I and two other couples had lunch at the Pearl yesterday and everything was wonderful. Food, service, atmosphere was jusr perfect!

The food is consistently good. We had a charming waitress, whose recommendations were really good.
