Pier 17
For seafood purists, there’s also a “simply cooked” section of the menu filled with grilled specialties (lobster, halibut T-bones, the aforementioned spot prawns) available for lunch and dinner, and if you’re looking for the ideal dessert to enjoy as the westerly light fades over the Brooklyn waterfront and the running lights blink on in the boats out in the harbor, it would be the cherry Pavlova, which is dressed in the Jean-Georges style with a scoop of pistachio ice cream and a spoonful or two of Champagne sabayon.The Fulton | 88 (out of 100)*| Impressive89 South St., Pier 17; 212-838-1200; thefulton.nycOpen: Dinner daily; lunch Monday to Friday; Sunday brunch.Prices: Appetizers, $15 to $19; entrées, $22 to $48.Ideal Meal: Razor clams, scallops, head-on red prawns, fluke and/or octopus with mozzarella, longevity noodles, sea bass en croûte, cherry Pavlova.Note: The wine list is stocked with a number of predictably well-chosen whites from Burgundy, Bordeaux, and the USA, but if you’re in the mood for a refreshing fusion summer cocktail, the shiso gin-and-tonic is the one to try.Scratchpad: A multistar setting plus multistar food all adds up to an impressive 88 in the Thousand Best ranking system.*The rating scale of 0 to 100 reflects our editors’ appraisals of all the tangible and intangible factors that make a restaurant or bar great — or terrible — regardless of price.
