Profile

Occupying a prime swath of Pier 17, this nautical-themed eatery is set against the scenic backdrop of South Street Seaport. The mall location is the hook for wandering tourists, day-tripping suburbanites, and first-daters in search of a romantic view of the Brooklyn Bridge. Strangely, the menu does infinitely better with simple standbys like bacon cheddar burgers and beer-battered fish than it does with a seafood entrée like penne with seared yellowfin tuna. But if the food lacks punch, the panorama is an unqualified knockout. Plus, this place is a hell of a lot closer than Disney World or the Las Vegas strip. — Alexis Korman

Weddings

At the end of Pier 17, inside the South Street Seaport shopping center, Sequoia overlooks the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, and cityscape. It’s nautical in theme and can hold 180 people for a seated dinner with dancing. From $100 per person.

Recommended Dishes

Beer-battered fish and chips, $15.95; bacon cheddar burger, $13.95

A friend and I decided to eat lunch at Sequoia on Saturday, August 22, 2009 around 1pm. We were waited on by a young lady who did not know anything about the menu. I asked her questions about the salads and her response was that she "did not know because she doesn't like salad." So I ordered a crab cake salad which when I asked what was in it she said "just salad with a crab cake" but did not mention that there were apples and feta which was not a very good combination with crab -- I would not have ordered it if I knew and on top of that the crab cake did not taste fresh and was almost $20. My friend who I was dining with asked if the blueberry pancakes had real, fresh blueberries or canned blueberries in syrup. She said fresh, but seemed clueless but she ordered them and they were actually canned and in syrup. After I left the restaurant I felt sick and and I was sick for the rest of the day and into the night. I paid $50 for a horrible meal that made me sick! NEVER EAT AT SEQUOIA!
