Heavy seafood menu, just what we were looking for. Would have liked more shareable apps. Brussel sprouts were not great. Branzino worth the extra wait

Our main course arrived before our appetizers, and they got our appetizer wrong. But we love it there. And the food was delicious. We just hit a bad night in the service department
Joel
Our server was wonderful. I think his name might have been Jon, glasses and a ponytail. He was great.

As always the freshest oyst and clams. We also had the whole grilled branzino and the Chatham cod. Delicious! Happy hour drinks are really good. Staff is super. Love this place

This is a gem in Chelsea. Seafood is phenomenal. Fun atmosphere with a great vibe. Siganture cocktails are yummy.

Food quality has been going down. I have been a loyalist for years. Have organized events there. I have noticed issues with the food decline. Things too spicy or other issues.

We enjoyed everything about this dining experience... from the great service to the different appetizers we shared to the perfectly cooked fish and delicious cocktails, I'd give it a 9 out of 10, and that's very rare for me to feel that way.

Great food and great service! Lobster rolls were outstanding and fries had perfect seasoning. I will definitely go back!

I love this restaurant for special occasion dinners (anniversary, Valentine's Day). It is superb for dinner. Brunch, not so much. They close their kitchen at 2:30 on the dot - we booked at 2pm, and had a guest arrive at (no kidding) 2:31 and they refused to take her order. Also the brunch selections feel limited, and everything is very hot and spicy (including the smoked fish platter I ordered) which limits what I can eat. I persevered with the blazingly hot jalapeno-infused fish, and suffered from it for many hours afterward. If you like burning and numbing your tongue, go for it. You'll love it. (I mean it.) I venture to guess they haven't yet found their footing with the brunch set. Closing the kitchen at 2:30 in Manhattan seems unwise, especially if you are going to be Germanically precise about it. I should mention that our server Eric is wonderful, and as accommodating as the restaurant would allow him to be.

Its a happy hour place with skimpy drinks. Menu emphasizes alcohol, serving decent wines. Even with birthday reservations (they asked when i made reservations), we were seated in back next to kitchen. My companion enjoyed the cod. My fries tasted of fish.
Loved their happy hour meal ($30 for half lobster roll, martini, fries, and pudding) and the great space and service.

Perfectly cooked cod with a crispy skin and buttery finish. Great happy hour menu for food and drinks. Nice seafood selection. I would definitely return to try other menu options. Attentive staff. Clean restaurant with an elevated nautical motif.

Great food and staff. Small request/issue would be that I wish the tables were a bit larger. But still, 5 out of 5
