Industry Kitchen

We simply loved it here. Everything and everyone was simply perfect. Industry Kitchen deserves to be much busier than we observed early on a late spring Thursday evening. We loved the price fixe option. Portions were really quite adequate; more food and certainly more than we expected with this kind of price promotion. New York State on undoubtedly has a bazillion worthy competing restaurants. That said, it would be hard for anyplace to have made us happier.

This restaurant has a great view as it sits right on the river. We had some drinks and pizza for dinner. The pizza was good but nothing outstanding. Our server was a bit too attentive. Asked us 3 times if we were ready to order not even giving us 5 minutes between each time. Like in a hurry to get us in and out of there, although it wasn’t that busy.

An excellent experience from start to finish! We started off with the Mini Lobster Tacos, alongside the Braised Short Rib Bao Buns. We then had a Pizza Each, a Margherita, and a Burrata and Prosciutto. We also had the Grilled Lamb Lollipops, all of which were excellent! You could certainly tell the pizzas are made in a wood-fired oven! We finished off with the Smores Sundae, which we loved, even the Marshmallows had been freshly toasted! A special thank you to Chef Haffmans, and our server, Carlos!

Service was impeccable, went on Valentines Day and we arrived late but they were very accommodating even giving us free drinks, the staff was amazing especially our server/bartender who I believe was named Gio even with being responsible for handling the bar and outside seating was still attentive and has a twin as well who also provides excellent service, I reserved an igloo and the Valentines Day pre-fix menu which was absolutely stunning. Highly recommend to anyone in the area and for any who is thinking of making the trip to eat there as it definitely worth it. It felt like our Valentines was truly special to them as well.

This place is a fantastic spot for brunch. You can sit outside in the heated ski chalets, which is a cozy option. We ordered the big breakfast, and braised short ribs eggs benedict. Also had the Atlantic salmon tartare appetizer, which was huge. If you’re able to wait for your brunch meal, you can skip the appetizer because it’ll fill you up. The only downside is that the restaurant automatically charges a 20% tip, which is a bit of a bummer since you don’t have a choice.

Stepping off the Roosevelt Island ferry, this spot feels perfectly placed, like it’s waiting to catch you the moment you arrive. The vibe is instantly inviting, with a breezy, laid-back energy that leans more toward a beachy day-party than a quiet afternoon bite. On our visit, the bar was surprisingly empty, and while that gave the staff time to relax into their own conversations, it did slow things down a touch. That said, once we ordered, the food arrived in a flash, piping hot, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. There’s an unmistakable nightclub pulse to the place, even in the middle of the day, which gives it a lively edge that might not be for everyone, but it certainly keeps things interesting. When the weather plays along, the outdoor seating is a real highlight, making it an ideal spot to linger, people-watch, and soak in the riverside atmosphere. A few service tweaks would elevate it, but overall, it’s a vibrant, well-located spot that delivers where it counts: good food, quick turnaround, and a memorable setting.

From the moment we arrived at Industry Kitchen, the experience was elevated by truly exceptional service. EMON delivered outstanding tableside hospitality, attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. He anticipated needs effortlessly, offered thoughtful recommendations, and created an atmosphere that felt both welcoming and memorable. His professionalism and attention to detail made the entire dining experience feel seamless and special. Davion, the manager, also deserves high praise. His presence added another layer of excellence to the evening. He was personable, gracious, and clearly passionate about ensuring every guest felt valued. You can tell he leads with both heart and professionalism, and it reflects in the overall energy of the restaurant. Exceptional food is one thing, but service like this transforms a meal into an experience. EMON and Davion set a standard that truly stands out, I will absolutely be returning and recommending Industry Kitchen to others.

Food was great, service was top tier. We held a firm’s dinner at the place, and it was amazing. Although it started raining, Emon our server was able to swiftly set us up a table covered from the train! He took AMAZING care of us! Thank you again 🙏
