Grand Banks is a celebrated oyster bar aboard the historic wooden schooner, Sherman Zwicker.
Inspired by the floating "oyster barges" that lined Manhattan's waterfront in the 18th and 19th centuries, Grand Banks features sustainably harvested oysters, nautically inspired cocktails, and awe-inspiring views.
Ingredient Driven
Showcasing wild-caught and sustainably harvested East and West Coast oysters, Grand Banks presents a concise menu of ingredient-driven seasonal plates by nationally acclaimed chef, Kerry Heffernan.
Nautically Inspired
Grand Banks crafts nautically inspired cocktails using fresh squeezed juices, locally sourced produce, and fine spirits; and offers a smart selection of summery wines and Champagnes.
