    Tuna Tartar
    Melissa P.

    We came here for dinner and really enjoyed our meal, although we wish it was in a better location. We started with the oysters which were good as well as the fried burrata. We ended up just eating the burrata and not the breading since it was too heavy. I also got the tuna tartare for my main dish and it was very good. The service was also great.

    Seafood Risotto

    The food tasted very nice and was served in generous portions, considering the price. The waiters were attentive and gave the proper amount of care for each patron, and they filled our water periodically when they say it was getting empty. The decor and music of the restaurant was very fitting and gave a nice dinner time vibe. Would recommend to try the seafood risotto if you make the choice to come.

    Lobster bisque- delicious
    Michael S.

    My second visit in a year. I sat at the bar, this is a warm cozy restaurant with a friendly professional staff. Great selection of ice cold draft beer served in pint plus glasses. The Switcback Ale $9 was perfect with the complimentary Dive Oyster house homemade chips served in a cute paper bag. The half dozen baked clams were delicious on a bed of Arugula. Right amount of toasty garlic butter breadcrumbs. Tender fresh clams ($22) I wasn't overly hungry so the lobster bisque ($14) hit the spot. A beautiful bowl with Starbucks type design in the creamy top. Lobster pieces in the soup were tender, but I could have enjoyed some slightly larger pieces. Flavor and consistency were excellent. The stunning bartender offered a taste of the reds by the glass- Super Tuscan, Cabernet, Malbec etc, but there are choices of brands. Nevertheless, the Cabernet at $15 per glass was bold and perfect. I saw the Dive Chicken and Veal go by, both looked delicious.

    Soft shell crab special
    Concetta D.

    Delicious food and great staff! Came for a dinner with my family and we were truly wowed and can't wait to get back and make our way through more menu items! We started with the mussels and crab cake for appetizers. Everything was super fresh and full of flavor. The crab cake came with a tasty summer corn salad. For entrees we had the salmon, risotto and the soft shell crab special all were great! The risotto was super rich and creamy topped with fresh fish. The salmon was cooked well with super crispy skin. Not pictured were the completely empty plates. The staff was super attentive. Checking in refilling glasses and bringing fresh drinks. Couldn't have had a better dinner and can't wait to go back!

    This fish & steak restaurant is located on Pleasantville Road in the space formerly occupied by Chatterbox 54 (not to be confused with Chatterbox which is still open in nearby Pleasantville - yes Pleasantville Road is in Briarcliff, go figure). Owned by former management at Flames and family, the space is small but upscale and offers a diverse menu from Oysters to pasta to steak. The wine list is seriously overpriced and the menu operates like a steakhouse with "sides" available to order for sharing. Some menu items cone with a sides of veggies and/or potato so choose wisely! Our West coast oysters were delicious and briny, and our group of 6 ordered lots of different dishes. Service was excellent throughout. My Dive Veal, topped with crabmeat and a cognac sauce was tender and delicious, if a tad oily. Dessert sampler was delicious and a nice treat from the owner. Reservations are a must on weekends as the place was full, including bar seats. We would definitely return.

    The ambiance was lovely. The blue LED lighting makes a trendy vibe. Sat at the bar for a drink before dinner. Lychee martini came with a color changing sphere inside the glass. Kinda cool. I was expectativa a "dive bar" vibe but it's a classy place. Sat in the dining area for dinner. The owner was very friendly and offered us any table we wanted. All the staff were dressed in traditional server attire of black pants, white shirt & black bow tie. The bread rolls seemed to be purchased and not made in house and came with an olive tapenade. We had the shishito peppers as an appetizer and they were bland and way too oily. I got the lobster roll that had way too much dressing and the side of Brussels were again coated in oil with a touch of sweetness. The spinach linguine was tasty but the tuna was terrible.

    To say this restaurant's location and exterior is unassuming is very much an understatement…read more Inside, it is beautiful and has a wonderful ambiance. It was most unusual that our party of four all ordered the same. We started with a special app - Fried Shrimp & Calamari. Soo Delish! We followed with the signature dish, Cod Fish & Chips. I have had this entree in, I'd estimate, 50 restaurants, including several in England where I think it originated. NONE even come close to here! Oh My - the two big, thick pieces of lightly battered fresh cod fried to perfection! Flaky, moist and delectable. It just doesn't get any better! Wow! The fresh, hand-cut thick fries were again fried to perfection. Golden crispy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside. I don't know what their secret frying technique is or the type of oil they use but the flavor is light and delicious. Even their homemade coleslaw tastes like they just made it - so fresh with a little tang - Mmm! We ended with a very unique lemon flan, even though we all said we couldn't eat another thing. Overall, portions are generous (we took home some left overs!), service staff were friendly and attentive, and the Owner & Head Chef, Elmer came out to check on us and tell us some of his culinary encounters with blue fin tuna. Fascinating! A most enjoyable meal and experience. If you've never been, What the heck are you waiting for!

Chef Elmer works magic in the kitchen and behind the bar in this intimate setting designed to make you feel like the important guest you are. I went for my birthday last week and was fortunate enough to get to witness a Chef's Tasting event. The food my husband and I ordered for our meal was amazing, but now I have to go back for a tasting. If you haven't been, get there. If you're not interested in gourmet dining, enter through the door on the right, and get the fish and chips. They're the best I've had in the US. Either way, unless you have an aversion or allergy to seafood, it's a must do. Thank you Chef for a spectacular birthday meal and experience.

My girlfriend and I decided to share the very generous portion of paella. The rice in the paella was absolutely delicious and there was a good assortment of seafood. My only criticism if any was that it was a little bit oily as we worked our way down to the bottom of the dish. We ate plenty each and had plenty to take home. We then decided to try the desserts. I had the bread pudding or Tres Luce (spelling?) and she had the flan. Both were delicious but unfortunately, towards the bottom of each, we discovered that they had just recently been frozen. They hadn't quite thawed out at the bottom! The service was excellent - warm and inviting. I wish I could've given an extra star, but between the frozen deserts decide and the oily paella I couldn't.

Their skirt steak and lomo saltado are amazing, shrimp burrito very tasty, and you absolutely must end with the churros. My biggest complaint is service is slow which is strange because I've never seen it busy and it can get frustrating waiting around for someone. And though the decor and space is really nice, the lack of people doesn't make for a fun and/or lively atmosphere which I find really important for any restaurant experience.

    We went last week not really knowing what to expect. When we arrived...we were greeted in a very…read morefriendly and courteous manner and were seated quickly enough. We ordered a couple Cabernets and cocktails (BTW...a lot to choose from) and some appetizers. A big house salad and 2 trays of fried calamari. All tasted very good! Then for our meals...we ordered Chilean Sea bass with grilled vegetables and sweet potato fries. We got grilled shrimp with rice...and some grilled salmon with risotto. All were prepared perfectly And were delicious. Only wish the sea bass portion was a little larger. After dinner we ordered some espressos and cappuccinos With some dessert. All were excellent! The service and wait staff were all very friendly! Made us feel very comfortable and right at home. We will be going back ASAP! I highly recommend this place.

We ordered a spread to share: calamari, chicken vegetable soup, Caesar salad, and chicken parmesan. Overall, the food was even better than expected, and it turned out to be a ton of food. The meal started with a great complimentary bread basket featuring good breadsticks and olive oil with seasoned dipping oil. The calamari was a huge hit with my son, though we had to pick out the jalapeños, and it strangely came with sweet chili sauce instead of marinara. The chicken vegetable soup was packed with more veggies than broth, which my son loved. My friend really enjoyed the chicken parm, which came with a side of spaghetti that my son also devoured. I had the Caesar salad with dressing on the side--the lettuce was a little wilted, but it was fine. Honestly, this is the most my son has ever eaten at a restaurant! Good food, great service, and we'd definitely come back.
