The Fulton by Jean-Georges

Went for lunch at around 1pm. It was not crowded at all. The hostess sat us promptly and table service was just as quick. Our waiter was great- he answered all of my questions and seamlessly rattled off all the dishes, ingredients and recommendations. We had the salmon, swordfish sandwich, red snapper ceviche and the octopus and mozzarella- which was deliciously salted with lemon (my new favorite appetizer.) we did not have desert but next time I will as I now regret not trying the blood orange custard. My fork fell on the floor and within seconds I was brought a new one. Great service, atmosphere, location and staff. Will definitely return. My only issue was the espresso flavor could have been a little richer. Great experience!

This place was amazing from the ambience and views to the menu. Everything we ordered did not disappoint but an absolute must have appetizer would be the fried shrimp and also the warm octopus with fresh mozzarella I can assure you, you haven’t had octopus like this before. The pepper encrusted steak was also a must have and the strawberry potted plant dessert just to name a few items. Excellent service including the floor manager making sure everything came out to perfection.

A very nice environment to take lunch or dinner. Banana ice cream is so delicious from the Chocolate Peanut Cake, I really love it. Fresh Tagliatelle is also an excellent dish.

We had a celebration dinner at The Fulton and it was absolutely incredible. The ambiance, service, attention to detail and flavors of food & drinks were impeccable. The swordfish was so flavorful & the texture unique — the sweet ginger dressing added a beautiful layer of complexity to the dish. We were obsessed with the crab lettuce cups — fresh, light & easy to eat. We were tempted to order more! I wish there were 4-5 instead of 3 on the plate. The Beet appetizer was so smooth & full-flavored. The yogurt offset the crisp of the apple really nicely! Good for 3-4 people to share. The calamari app had been cooked to perfection — crisp & flavorful plus it had a little kick on the side of it too! Great for a table of 5 to share easily. Dessert was also tasty — I had the fig tart with honey ice-cream & devoured it. I am completely obsessed with this experience and cannot wait to go back for another special dinner. We went right at 5pm and the timing was spectacular because we had nice views of the Brooklyn Bridge in daylight and then lit up in the evening. They even honored my request in the reservation for a table that had nice views of the water — love when there is thought and attention to that. We will be back!!

Prepare to impress your taste buds. If you're down by the pier and looking for the ultimate ambience, excellent drinks, and melt in your mouth seafood, you've come to the right place. The warm octopus with mozzarella is a must order, a perfect pairing of lemon zest and fresh cheese to go with the octopus. Sashimi was silky smooth. Arugula avocado salad was a crowd favorite. Scallops were also the group pleaser for the night. Everyone left satisfied!

We just ordered mojitos to sit and relax by the pier. The ambience is nice. They had live jazz music going on when we were there. Overall it was a refreshing experience! Would visit again!

I read several reviews that said Fulton was one of the best seafood restaurants in Manhattan so I was eager to try it. It's a bit of a trek from midtown, but I figured it would be worth it for great fish. Unfortunately, on a number of fronts Fulton was a big letdown. Starting with the food; it was just ok. When you're paying $78 for Dover sole it shouldn't be undercooked. The shrimp cocktail wasn't very fresh; the salads we ordered (see pictures) were unappetizing and went nearly uneaten. We did appreciate our waitress who did a good job dealing with the limitations she had to work with. At one point, she mentioned that she would speak to the manager about giving refills of iced tea to our teenage sons. As a result, unfortunately we ordered many more teas and and then we we're charged for each of them. The manager told us that our waitress had spoken to him about the iced tea but he was going to charge us anyway because that was Fulton's policy. Further, he said in that Manhattan's top restaurants don't offer free refills. Postscript: in the following days we ate at Gramercy Tavern and Avra-- both gave us free refills.

I must say that the Fulton is one of my best restaurants I new york so far. The food is absolutely superb, the ambiance is stunning, and the service is usually impeccable. We are regulars that usually frequent here and never not impressed by this luxurious restaurant. We dined at the Fulton yesterday on May 28th at 8 and the host 1st didn't seat us in the dining room area like I requested in my reservations that I made weeks ago. I was puzzled that she didn't read my reservation notes but I just asked to seat us in dining room and it was no problem there. She was kind and accommodating. She did at a two seating table. We are big food orders. We usually order 3 appetizers, an entrée, then dessert... we need a nice size table to handle our foods. When the appetizers arrived there was absolutely no room to even place our earing plates on the table. The 2 table seats on the bottom 1st floor of the dining room are too small for us. So we asked the waiter to seat us at another table ( a 4 seater table) so it could accommodate us. He didn't accommodate us because all the tables that were empty he said people of 4s may be coming to fill those seats. It sounded logical be we still had to adjust out whole table just to eat. But we said okay. The problem came when the empty table by us that we requested earlier was now being seated by only two people that didn't even order as much as we did but they came later than us and was seated there. That did not sit well with us and kinda was annoyed the rest of the dinner. The food again continues to be superb and amazing. The ambience is always magical but lastnight we were kind of disappointed that the service didn't accommodate us. I thought that it was a bit bias that a table we earlier requested was denied because the table was set up for 4 and that we were only two, and that same table just 10 mins later was seated by the host a party of 2. I would give my experience a 5 star like I usually experience. But lastnight unfortunately I had to take a point down because of the attention of not fly accommodating us. I hope the next time we dine at the Hudson that it will be as accommodating as it possibly could be.
