A view to die for--and a mildly overeager waitstaff. Perhaps they"ll point you to a first course, such as tender mussels in a shallot, garlic and white-wine sauce, or the rich grilled eggplant rounds topped with vegetable puree and tomato coulis. The fettuccine adriatico,{/I} with fresh salmon, asparagus and capers in a light cream sauce, is delicious. However, the dry, bland fillet of sole, in a vermouth-{I}dijonnaise sauce over raw spinach, was disappointing. Skip the undistinguished crème brûlée and take a postprandial stroll along the mighty Hudson instead.
