Restaurants Around Highline

[ilanadonna]

Can you recommend a good outdoor restaurant with fish/seafood near the Highline in Manhattan? So I guess that would be the West Village/Meat Packing area.

Thx!

Pearl Oyster Bar. My parents came in for a visit, and we decided to have dinner here after our High Line walk. Not super-dee-dooper close to the beginning (or end, depending on how you look at it) of the High Line. But it is a pretty walk. And the seafood can't be beat - best lobster roll in the city, IMHO.
By the by, at the northern end of the High Line (entrance on W. 30th St. at 10th Ave.), Colicchio & Sons opened a beer garden with food trucks. It's pretty fun, especially with large groups. It's called Lot on Tap. Food trucks included were: Eddie's Bar Pies, Korean Taco, and Rickshaw Dumplings.

I had a shrimp dish at Los Dados outside after walking the Highline last night. Perfectly decent for the area (I'm not a particularly pro-meatpacking person).

we had dinner at los dados before walking the highline a few weeks back. tasty if slightly pricey tacos. really liked the cucumber margarita, believe it or not.

Los Dados is closed (as of 2011). Can anyone come up with the name of the Italian restaurant near the Highline - I think it's on Gansevoort?

Del Posto? It's north of Gansevoort, but you can see it from the Highline.

thanks Small H - i will try it tonite!

I assume you know this already but Del Posto is a four NYT star restaurant, so dress appropriately. Hope you already have a reservation as you cannot dine in the bar area.

Bottino is on 10th, b/t 24th & 25th. Very good food and a lovely garden.

Another favorite of ours near the Highline which also has a charming garden is Trestle on Tenth. We just had a delicious brunch there yesterday.

A quick search of Italian restaurants near the Washington and Gansevoort Highline entrance yields:
Villa Pacri
Macelleria
Nero D'Avola -- closed today
Corsino

A little bit further away are Scarpetta (mentioned upthread) and Dell'anima, which would be my two picks, although they are both on the pricey side. Corsino would be good, it's the same people who do ino and inoteca.

John Dory (but not outdoor)
Cookshop has fish on the menu and has outdoor tables
Scarpetta has fish and has outdoor tables
Pastis for mussels

Scarpetta's dining room actually has a retractable skylight and gorgeous. Much more preferably that the noisy sidewalk/outdoor area in my opinion
