4.5 stars... The Frying Pan is actually a combination of two historic ships docked on the Hudson river and transformed to a restaurant, bar, and hangout. For the sake of this review, I came here on a weekday afternoon in the summer, I have no idea what this place is like on the weekends, evenings, or off season (yet). The prices of drinks are ridiculous with $8 bottled beers, $5 drafts in small glasses (around 10oz?). The prices of food for lunch is reasonable ($9-11), but the prices for some of the same dishes can go up $7 or so when it hits dinner time. My beer wasn't all too cold, my steak sandwich was cooked to one level more doneness than I ordered, the roll it was served on was a day or so past its prime, and the fries were obviously the frozen shoestring variety. The redeeming factor with the beer was the bartender was very cute and very nice. The redeeming factor with the food is that a skirt steak sandwich wish sautéed onions on a roll with fries during lunch for $10 was a good value and they spruced up their fries with old bay and parsley. They also have a self service water/ice machine which is amazing. I should probably point out  the procedure here in that they have one walk up bar where you order your drinks and/or food and a second station where once your number comes up (which is shown on a screen not announced out loud) you go and pick up your food. There's so many reasons why I love this place though. First of all it's completely unique. Secondly there are a ton of seats between the two ships either on the roof, the deck, or covered from the sun. The ships are also fully accessible, as I was walking down steps and through corridors of the ships without seeing a sole (Friday afternoon) I was worried I wasn't allowed to be where I was. I would then stumble upon a couch or two and know that I was all good. There are spots on both ships below deck with chairs and couches for hanging out, and even a pink pong, fuseball, and ice hockey table in one area. Below deck it smelt like the musty hangout my friend and I created in an abandoned house when we were in high school to get away from our parents but it just added to the old world mysteriousness of it all. My only disappointment was that I didn't have a camera on me this time. There are even some sailors quarters with beds with bedding. I'm not sure if this is suppose to be for historic purposes, for the staff to take naps, or for patron debauchery but I'm sure the latter of the options could definitely go on, especially if the ship was as empty as it was when I was there. Walking around the Frying Pan after my meal was such a cool experience that I wouldn't have blamed them if they had charged me admission to the place. The fact that anyone could just walk aboard, get some water from their machine and walk around the ship all for free makes this one of the coolest things in NY. Yes the drinks and dinner is over priced but the lunch was reasonable and edible and the place is just too interesting not to give them at least 4 stars and to plan a return visit.

Great service and friendly wait staff, but unfortunately, the food just didn't cut it. Positives: Fried goat cheese -- probably the best dish of the night.  Very good. Woodfire grilled pizzas -- good use of balsamic vinegar, and comes with a variety of unique toppings, including rabbit. Bread/butter -- great bread and very good butter too. French fries -- double fried.  Very solid. Negatives: Beef short ribs -- the first plate I got was way too dry, so the wait staff/chef was very accommodating and made a new plate for me.  The second plate was definitely better, as I could tell it was freshly made and not too dry.  However, it was still very chewy for short rib, and not that great.  Would not get this dish again. Calamari -- cooked well, but seasoning was a bit too salty. Overall, I would give this place 3 stars.  I did check out the bar area and this might be a nice place to come in for some meat and cheese with some wine, but as for dinner itself, I will not be dining here again.
