   We have a wonderful dining experience. Our main courses and appetizers were excellent but my wife was not wowed by salmon tartar and the key lime tart was not up to par this evening. My main Cod dish was off the charts excellent. Great portion with many mussels and chorizo broth. We will go back and I’d highly recomend it.

   My husband and I shared spare ribs, wedge salad, the medium size seafood tower and the Parker House rolls. All of it was delicious, although the ribs were pretty fatty. Our server was awesome and she even let us know when she was leaving and introduced us to the server that took her place, who was great too. For NYC, the price of our meal was good, given how outstanding the food was.

   Love this spot! More familiar with the other locations in the city, but there’s no better place to take out-of-towners or show-goers in midtown! If you like seafood and great cocktails, you can’t beat it!

   Excellent lobster roll. Probably the most lobster meat I've ever had in a lobster roll. And, my friend's lobster smoked gouda mac and cheese was also fantastic. I was almost jealous.

   I was a bit surprised that a sea food restaurant of this category did not have Sauvignon Blanc in its wine list.

   Good spot for pre-theatre dining. Large space, plenty of tables, but a bit noisy. The service we received from Jeanine was excellent. We had the spicy seared tuna on a bed of riced cauliflower & edamame salad, the blackened fish tacos, and fried artichoke hearts - all good. The wine list, however, is ridiculously overpriced.

    Food came out cold. Other than that it was great.
