Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Governors Island

Odeon is one of my favorite restaurants - my go-to when I want a relaxed, pleasant meal with great food. Tonight I had a lovely French Onion Soup with the perfect amount of carefully toasted cheese, croutons and onions. The broth alone is a worthy, rich appetizer. The macaroni and cheese was the ultimate comfort food for this chilly evening - cheesy without being too thick or too soft - that I paired with a basic but tasty mixed green salad to make me feel healthy. I finished with my favorite dessert - the toffee pudding. It is sweet with just a touch of chewy caramelization on the crust to contrast with the tender center and an accent spoonful of perfect whipped cream. The staff - from the maitre’d to the waitresses to the servers and busboys - are exceptionally kind, efficient and just nice people. Yes, I love Odeon!

Lovely experience. Our server had the best recommendations and whenever there was a need for something he was there to help. The food was delicious and I had to hold myself back from ordering more

We had an incredible dining experience with the service, food and intimate ambiance. Shout out to the manager Mark for his exceptional warmth and hospitality as well as Joe our very knowledgeable server and Zach and Andy our bussers. The whole team work seamlessly to ensure a flawless dining experience. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

Food was incredible. Our server was gem. I didn't get her name but she was so kind and attentive.

It was very elegant, the view at night was gorgeous, the presentation and service was amazing 10/10. Food did take a little longer than expected but when it came we devoured our plates. The pork chops are very juicy with a sweet light sauce on top very delicious. The burger is also a good option with the caramelized onions. The only pictures we took of the food was the Caesar salad which was also decent.
