About The Harrison

Opened by Jimmy Bradley in October 2001, this Tribeca favorite is a restaurant remarkably in tune with its neighborhood and the city at large. Featuring seasonal contemporary American cuisine from Chef Amanda Freitag and sincere hospitality in a handsome and casually elegant setting, The Harrison instantly makes you feel like you�ve come home. The restaurant also boasts a private dining room housed in its award-winning wine cellar, outdoor caf� with Hudson River views and a bar that begs to be dined at for a less formal evening. Be sure to try Freitag�s inspired Parmesan Fritters with Black Forest Ham and Smoked Mozzarella, Char Grilled Octopus with Fingerlings, Feta and Fresh Mint and a killer Pork Chop with Coco Beans, Pancetta, Escarole and Thyme.

Go for the grilled octopus and happy hour Rock Face Mendocino cab.

The skate wing is a house specialty. With good reason. Pair it with the duck-fat fries and you will leave with a huge smile on your face.

Every 6 months or so the human body craves a skillet calves liver. It resets the vitals arouses the senses and feeds the soul. This is the place to get it.

Casual and relaxed with great food. Various salads and salmon were absolutely delicious. Broccoli rabe was bad to an unacceptable degree, not sure wtf happened there. Will go again.
