A lively Chinatown oyster bar serving Spanish- and Portuguese-inspired seafood plates in an intimate, buzzing room.
Description
This spot operates more like a gastro bar than a traditional restaurant, keeping the menu compact and centered on seafood with a few meats. The focus is on sharing starters rather than pacing through mains; popular bites include the prawns, clams, and stuffed peppers with tuna. The room is very small and gets quite loud when fully seated, offering a date-friendly setting with cocktails and attentive service. Note that some dishes can be heavily seasoned.
