Description



Earning its stripes as NYC’s first fully sustainable seafood spot, this Upper West Side venue matches its eco-conscious mission with global flavors and a buzzy neighborhood energy. The main draw is the raw bar, serving up to twenty daily varieties of East and West Coast oysters, celebrated during the early evening "#Oystergram" happy hour. The kitchen leans into creative preparations, featuring plates like spicy squid ink spaghetti, Thai lobster curry, seafood stew, and crab crispy rice, with steak and heritage meats on hand for non-seafood lovers. The layout accommodates different moods with a front bar, a main dining room, and outdoor street-side seating, backed by warm, highly attentive service that often wins over locals.
