Located on the seaport district, northeast corner of pier 17. Great escape of the hustle and bustle of the city. This seafood restaurant has a great collection of Raw bar, caviar, signature items, vegetarian options, sides, wines, Dessert wines (digestives)
We enjoyed the early dinner at the waterfront, covered patio, seating with an unobstructed Brooklyn bridge; both at daylight and later in the dusk. You can still enjoy that great view from the indoors too.
There’s lit to do around the area too (Easy to catch the train)

we come to eat here to celebrate occasions and it's always a pleasure. from the staff to the view, it's always a fantastic experience. all questions are answered with smiles and suggestions, very careful attention is placed on dietary restrictions, with substitutes lined up, and there is never any complaints or even the slightest reason to not be satisfied.
the food is fantastic, with a constant evolving menu. although this means your favorite dish from one meal may not appear when you go back, rest assured something just as amazing will replace it. my personal favorite, the fish and chips, made me actually enjoy mushy peas. though it's no longer on the menu, I'm always looking forward to exploring the new additions!
the corner booth with the view of the bridge is always a fantastic spot to enjoy special occasions. great food in a great city with great company; elevated to excellence at the Fulton.

Food is pretty good, I recommend the gruyere cheeseburger and the Long Island fluke Definitely will come back again for another date night.

I visited Fulton last week around 6:30 PM. Upon arrival, we were seated on the first floor, which was completely empty at the time. We assumed the second floor—with the well-known views—was fully booked. However, as more customers arrived throughout the evening, we noticed that nearly all of them were seated on the second floor, while the Asian guests, including our group, were consistently seated on the first floor.
This was deeply disappointing and felt disrespectful, especially given the restaurant’s reputation and high prices. The food was excellent, and most of the staff were polite and professional, but this particular experience left a very negative impression. Unfortunately, because of this, I do not plan to return.

Stunning views. Ambiance is in point. Food was amazing! Perfect dinner spot on the water, looking out to the bridge. All of our food was amazing. My fiance got the fried swordfish with a side of mashed potatoes and i got the Longevity Noodles which was 1½ lb Glazed Maine Lobster, Green Chili and Ginger... everything was so good!! We would Seiten definitely visit again if we were ever on town again!

We had an incredible dinner for two, the views of Brooklyn were so nice. Ambience was the best, service was top notch (Dejan) and the manager Robert were so attentive. For dinner, we split the Ceasars salad which - yes, sounds so normal, but their spin wad incredible. We also had the salmon with row, spinach - OMG - the best. And the drinks were spot on. Love this place, rarely do my wife and I rate a restaurant over a 9/ 10 but we did tonight!

Great seafood centric place with panoramic view of the brooklyn bridge and across the river. The nautical themed decorating and double height space full windows offers a lot of light. Alas was a bit downcast. Good oyster, salad & crudo, but feels like not much effort in some dishes. Was not very busy, good service, 2nd restroom location is bit of a trip.

It was my partner’s birthday celebration, and we had such a great night. From the moment we walked through the door, the hostess made us feel so welcome.
Then our server, Jonathan, made the experience even better. His food suggestions were excellent, and he was very attentive and knowledgeable about my allergies, which I truly appreciated.
The managers were paying attention to every detail of our experience, which made everything feel extra special. We went during Restaurant Week, and both the portion sizes and the flavors were absolutely incredible. We also ordered à la carte, and one of my favorite items was the Brussels sprouts.
We started with some cocktails and then switched to a glass of wine to finish the night.
