    catalan meatballs
    Andrew L.

    Came for dinner after new years, party of 4 at around 6:30 pm on a weekend and the place was already packed. This restaurant has been here for 11 months. Had the tortilla and the endive salad as an appetizer, but they erroneously gave us the fennel salad instead (which was way too much vinaigrette) -- they comped us for the same. We informed the waiter and the endive came later, which was much better. We also had churros to start our dinner, while it was nice and hot the churros was under done and could've stayed in the fryer for another 30 seconds. I had the arroz negro which was good (had squid, little neck clams, potato, some fish with black rice) but on the saltier side. The boss had the bouillabaisse -- good that it was not so very tomato-ey acidic but well balanced and textually silky. Others had the Catalan meatballs and the chicken (with a big plate of shoestring fries). Had a taste of the chicken and it was decent but slightly overpriced for $40. We were all full at the end but ordered the soft serve to try and that was very good. Overall, the space is big and inviting, and they did a good job renovating -- although we sat right next to the entry door and the freezing cold was a nuisance now and then. Had a bottle of the house cava (Berth) which was not all that. Service was fairly good with water refill and plating and change of silverware. This is a big dining room -- which can open into the plaza/sidewalk on 6th in the summer time and is inviting, but the noise inside can be a bit deafening. The lighting is also very dark. I noticed other tables also using their phones to read the menu. Staff were good enough to bring a little lamp for our table. Overall, the price point is competitive to other restaurants in the West Village, but the quality of the food can stand some improvements here and there. Lots of potential to be come a stable in the village.

    Whole Dorado

    " Newish place in the West Village. Recommended by Eater and others. Stylish, great atmosphere and top notch service make this a great place for a special occasion group dinner. A wide array of dishes, with a focus on seafood but also some great non-seafood items. So even if you aren't into the sea, lots of options here. Cocktails were for the most part very good and they have sets of Negronis, Martinis and more with interesting combinations. None too sweet. What's to cheer - Fresh seafood! Tasty dishes - Dorado and sole was great - Fennel salad + Rum cake were standouts - Tortilla was flavorful but a little mushier than I wanted What's to jeer - $24 for butter beans? Hold on to your wallet ! Some dishes are over priced - Mussels were over rated as was the chocolate torte

    Fior di Latte Soft Serve, Milk Crumble & Blueberry Compote
    Wendy B.

    Bluefin Tuna, Guindilla Pepper & Crispy Potato - interesting combination, hash brown feels small proportionally. Red Shrimp Carpaccio - the oils were a bit overpowering the shrimp but still tasty. Rock Shrimp & Corn Fritters - mostly batters :( we had to ask for salt. Fior di Latte Soft Serve, Milk Crumble & Blueberry Compote - tasty dessert to finish. Yum Bijou was strong but good. Recommended by bartender's fav.

    Came here for lunch with a girlfriend. The restaurant was large and even had seating outside. Despite the restaurant not being fully occupied, the service was quite slow. On the other hand, the food was quite good. We ordered the following to share: - octopus w harissa skewer - peekytoe crab agnolotti - seafood rice - grilled prawns I thought all the food was solid and good, but nothing too memorable. Overall, good food but pricey. The complimentary dessert was a nice touch though.

    Loved this place. The menu had a selection of familiar and innovative items. We truly enjoyed every single item we ordered but our favorite was the mushroom egg yolk.

    Reilly and I went to Crevette on a Thursday in July because, tragically, we were still in Manhattan. Everyone else was in Sag Harbor or Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat--why am I providing geographical context like I'm writing for people who think Positano is a yoga pose? The only dignified response to mid-summer abandonment is martinis and tactical judgment. I wore a black silk Khaite slip that clung like commitment issues and humidity, refusing to decide which was worse, a Rolex 1680 Red Sub (if you know, you know, and if you don't, this isn't your first bonus Datejust), the Kelly 28 in Rouge H, and Manolo Chaos sandals that clicked like audible credit scores. Reilly, radiant and ruthless in equal measure, looked like she'd been photographed by Slim Aarons and somehow ended up slumming it in SoHo anyway. Crevette was dense with men who looked solvent from the wrist up and catastrophic from the waist down. Half wore rumpled linen they called "resort wear," the other half still in office chinos pretending they'd "just stepped away from the desk." The bar was a terrarium of finance in seasonal depression--every third man "between mandates" or "incubating a climate tech thesis," which is Wall Street for "unemployed but LinkedIn-optimized." One attempted to explain compound interest to Reilly like she hadn't been compounding her own advantages since birth; she ordered another martini and said, "Sweetie, I *am* the interest," which terminated both the conversation and, I suspect, his entire summer. The martinis were glacial and properly briny, not a muddled cucumber or elderflower abomination in sight. The oysters tasted like the Platonic ideal of bivalves, the frites like original sin with saffron aioli. It's a 4.8 for the bar program, a 2.1 for the dating pool, and an eternal 5 for the air conditioning, which ran like it had something to prove. Crevette is where you go when you're not in the Hamptons and refuse to pathologize that as failure. As we left, Reilly announced, "If I'm not on a yacht by August, I'm getting a better therapist and worse standards." We tipped like we'd just closed on something significant and walked into the humidity shimmering with delusion, SPF 50, and exceptional posture.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    We came here with reservations at the time of there opening so we could try the crab special they had posted on social media. We immediately asked to order it because it did say limited quantities but they said they didn't have that tonight. We decided to go with the Seafood platter because the waiter said it included all the raw items we were having trouble deciding on. It did not come with them so we ended up adding to our order. I was really looking forward to this meal since our friends that previously went loved it. For me it was not worth it.

    Light and delicious seafood. A bit pricey for the small portions, but still good. The chicken and bluefin tuna potato were standout dishes. the seafood rice, oysters, and rum cake were also delicious. The Niçoise salad was a little too drenched in dressing for me, same with the sashimi. The fig galette was also good, but I would've preferred if it was more mixed with the crust. I like that for many of the apps, you can order however many pieces you want; accommodating many group sizes. Service was very nice, and although it got busy later in the Monday evening, we were able to stay a while.

    Merguez and Morcilla Skewer

    Being a fan of Dame, we had to check out Crevette. The theme for our night was a series of small plates to test the waters (punny considering it's a seafood spot) ;) The service was kind, curious and friendly. They start you off with some complimentary Spanish olives. Here's the rundown of the rest: - Chilled Mussels topped with Salsa Brava (5/5) - a perfect one biter with a luscious topping. Delicious and gone too fast!! - Sicilian Sashimi (5/5) - another banger! The half portion came with two sashimi pieces of each - salmon, tuna, yellowtail and scallops poached in olive oil, with garnishes of chopped onion, lemon (zest maybe too?), and capers. Get this! - Fennel Salad (4/5) with a sweet and sour vinaigrette, mint leaves, chopped dates and chunks of pecorino was a refreshing summer salad. Had it been a little less sweet, this was a 5/5. Regardless, this was really enjoyable! - Merguez and Morcilla Skewer (4.5/5) - first time trying blood sausage and it was better than expected! This came with two chunks of a lamb sausage and two of blood sausage separated with slices of grilled onions. Get it if you like the sound of it, you won't go wrong. Our server also offered us bread service that came with olive oil on the house, which was very kind and much appreciated. Do note, this is an add on otherwise. If you're looking for a seafood delight, you won't be disappointed here!

    Red Shrimp Carpaccio

    Upscale seafood restaurant! Great food. Everything we ordered was good but the seafood rice was the standout. Clean and elevated ambience with cute wall art. Service was good too. Would love to come back!

    We came here for dinner with another couple a few months ago and generally had a good experience but nothing impressed me enough to want to return. The service was pretty good and the food was OK.

    I've walked by Crevette many times and finally had the chance to go with friends this past weekend. It's perhaps best known as the sister restaurant to Lords in Greenwich. The space reminded me of Frenchette--intimate, with a low-lit, cozy ambiance. Service was excellent. everyone was attentive and welcoming. The food was delicious overall, but the tuna potato was one of the best bites of the night. The crab agnolotti and arroz negro (essentially a paella) were standouts as well. Although it's primarily a seafood restaurant, the chicken and fries were good too.

    Crevette has a nice atmosphere and decent food. We enjoyed our time here, but I'm not sure if it's a restaurant i'd come back to often. Everything was good, but nothing stood out. We had the red shrimp carpaccio, the grilled wild mushroom (with egg yolk and pate), the fennel salad, and the seafood rice. For dessert, we tried the rhum cake. Red shrimp carpaccio was pretty good. Mushrooms were tasty but I don't really think they cooked the pate in a way that complemented the mushrooms. Fennel salad was tasty, very light but flavorful. Seafood rice was way too salty, but they had the flavoring down. If i could eat only one thing here again, it would be the rhum cake. They really outdid themselves with that one! Everything else is solid, just nothing crazy. I'd recommend this spot to anyone! Very date night vibes with a good balance of casual and nice. It's also a big space so feels comfortable to dine in.

    A bit too young for my taste but the bartenders here and nice and work quickly…read more Music was fine from what I remember, a little fratty. They have sports playing on TVs above the bar so that's nice if you want to dissociate a bit. Came here after a birthday dinner and had a El Spicy Rico which was actually pretty good. I wouldn't choose to come here just because the demographic and music, but if I were 21, I could see myself coming here.

    I recently had my birthday party in the back room at the Vig Bar and 100% recommend! Cancion, the…read moreevent coordinator, was extremely responsive beforehand and answered all of my questions in detail which made the planning process super easy. Upon arriving, I was immediately greeted by the manager and other staff to make sure I was all settled for my party, which I really appreciated. This space has a partnership with a pizza place up the street to order food but also provides flexibility to bring in your own food which a lot of places do not allow. They also allowed me to bring balloons and cake which many places also don't allow. I had around 40 people and there was plenty of space to sit down or stand. It wasn't too loud so I was able to have a conversation with friends while also enjoying the music. The music was great and we even stayed afterwards to enjoy the DJ and the vibes were still strong. If you're looking for a private space, this is the perfect spot for your party! My friends are still talking about how cool this space was and were very impressed!
