Description
Formerly known as ZZ's Clam Bar, this Manhattan spot operates more like a high-end cocktail lounge than a standard restaurant, even holding a Michelin star. The experience unfolds around tiny marble tables seating just 12 to 16 guests, creating a quiet, close-quarters environment. While the seafood menu is limited, it features high-quality lobster and caviar alongside creative tiki drinks. It is widely considered a total splurge with premium pricing, where reservations are essential to secure one of the few seats.
