Manhatta

Perched high above Lower Manhattan on the 60th floor of 28 Liberty Street, Manhatta blends fine-dining precision with effortless, hospitable warmth. Executive culinary artistry seamlessly links classic French techniques with vibrant modern influences, serving high-altitude Modern American cooking that easily matches the surrounding panoramic urban theater.

Panoramic Downtown Vistas and Warm Modern Atmosphere

Reached via a rapid elevator ascent in the Financial District, the expansive dining room offers sweeping 360-degree views stretching across the East River, Brooklyn Bridge, Staten Island, and New York Harbor. Warm walnut finishes, supple leather booths, and ambient lighting soften the sheer drama of the floor-to-ceiling glass. The room strikes a delicate balance between celebratory polish and welcoming accessibility, making it as fitting for milestone anniversaries and birthdays as for sunset cocktail hours.

Signature Culinary Highlights

• Oysters Manhatta with Uni and Champagne Sabayon: Freshly shucked, pristine oysters elevated by creamy sea urchin uni and a light, effervescent Champagne sabayon that melts delicately across the palate.
• Beef Tartare: Hand-cut prime beef textured with a subtle spicy kick and crispy elements, bringing distinct crunch and umami depth to a bistro classic.
• Butter Poached Lobster: Tender lobster tail poached in rich cultured butter, served alongside aromatic, toothsome Japanese Koshihikari rice and a glossy vegetable purée.
• French Onion Burger: A midday staple featuring a thick dry-aged beef patty draped in melted Gruyère, deeply caramelized onions, and savory French onion jus on a toasted brioche bun.

Course Formats, Check Realities, and Practical Tips

The culinary program centers around structured multi-course dining, offering flexible two- and three-course lunch formats alongside four-course dinner menus and an immersive multi-course Tasting Menu. While check sizes reflect its premier sky-high fine dining placement, generous execution and knowledgeable sommelier wine pairings provide satisfying value. Gluten-free guests enjoy ample variety with raw bar crudos and seared seafood, while booking a reservation 30 to 45 minutes prior to sunset offers the ultimate visual transformation of the city skyline.
