Gilligan's - New York City

Great spot for the summer. Has an awesome island tiki bar vibe !

What an awesome summer place with Miami feel. Visiting here feels like you walked into a portal, and you are definitely not in NY anymore. Food is great. Very tasty and decent size portions. Drinks are nicely made and have alcohol in them, not just ice like half the city is doing it these days. Staff is great. Good weather visit Gilligan’s.

Overall rating: 4.65 Initially this place was a bit hard to find. I got it kind of confused with Soho diner. I was kind of expecting the worst experience ever based on the terrible reviews, but I liked it! If you’ve read any of my other reviews, you know by now I love anything with plants. And this, was a rainforest My friends were running late and the service was very friendly and patient while I waited for them. I didn’t drink but the juice was very good. My friend had the salad and I had the granola which were both great. Things got a little rocky soon after when a 3rd friend came. The service dropped significantly. They took forever to get her order, bring out food close the check. Like 20+ minutes of waiting. We’ve even tried to wave multiple people down a few times, but they were so busy and so crowded. I don’t think that’s an excuse when it’s a place in Tribeca though. As much as I love the space and the environment, it’s more of a one-time visit for me. As 3 people, I can’t imagine how it is with a party of 4 or more. It has to be better other times? Maybe a happy hour after work? Definitely not brunch for me. I recommend coming at a different time, unless you enjoy or wouldn’t mind waiting.

Beautiful place, hidden from the noice and concrete of the city. I had the Aperol spritz, the lobster roll and the fresh burrata with watermelon; all soo good. Everyone in the staff was super nice and attentive

Gilligan’s is a vibey little oasis tucked away from the busy streets of New York. We dropped in for a drink and the staff were absolutely lovely. The kind female bartender even gave my sister a glass of Prosecco to congratulate her on her bachelorette weekend. We really enjoyed our visit here, definitely recommend for those looking for a relaxed, beautiful environment for food drink.
