If you have a neighborhood in mind, that will help narrow things down, but places that come to mind (and call now for reservations!) Keep in mind that I don't know if all of these places have weekend lunch.
River Cafe (great views of Manhattan from Brooklyn Heights---from my experience, it's the only place in the city with both great views and great food)
Le Bernardin (fine French, seafood focus, best service in the city I think)
Le Cote Basque (wonderful food, beautiful room, lovely service)
If views are most important...the View at the Marriott Marquis and the Rainbow Room fit the bill, but I think the food is pretty dreadul and over-priced at both.

Not really...there is a great little water taxi that leaves from the pier next to the River Cafe about once every 40 minutes on weekends (nywatertaxi.com). It stops at the South Street Seaport, World Financial Center (check out the Annie Liebowitz photo exhibit and cool models/designs for the WTC site there), Chelsea Piers, and the Intrepid. The water taxi is quick and comfortable...I just took it this weekend.

My recommendation is the Water Club on East 30th Street and the East River (FDR Drive). You will have a waterside view, good service, good food and still be in Manhattan. It feels like you're on a large yacht that's permanently docked. Every 4th of July, the Water Club gets sold out because people love to watch the fireworks there. I saw former Mayor Guiliani there on the 4th.
