Weekdays, the commuter ferry lands at the door of this Yonkers Pier project from Peter X. Kelly, whose Hudson Valley restaurants have long occupied Zagat’s top suburban slots. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
I love this place. The food, the atmosphere, the service was all great. These people make you feel that to them, your dining experience is the most important thing of the day. Yes, it is expensive, hey nothings perfect. But this place comes about as close to perfect as I've seen in quite a while. If you want a great meal and be treated like royalty, I don't think you'd be disapointed.
Admittedly, this was only the second time I have dinned at X20, and both times were for Sunday brunch, but I have to admit that I was disappointed on both occasions. The venue is stunning, and well worth the trip from Manhattan, but with a price point that is on par with all of my favorite brunch spots in the city, the food just does not stand up. The passed hors d'oeuvres are in line with a decent wedding venue, the rock shrimp was tough and over cooked and the tuna roll was boring. The mains were wilty, poorly cooked, and lacking taste. The deserts looked good, but did not deliver on consistency and taste. If a pre-fix Sunday brunch is the big event, the creme brulee should not have been prepared the night before (or perhaps earlier).
