    So cozy it may as well have been Oscar's living room. Chicken and waffles were a daunting task, but a rewarding one. Overall a nice, cozy experience for brunch.

    Fish n' chips
    Tony B.

    This place felt like a no-frills fish n' chip shop that one could come across in London (or somewhere in Belgium for that matter!). It's a very small, but cozy restaurant, and one could tell that those that own it care about the space and how well organized, clean, and put together it is. The sense of minimalism and European food brands (ex. malt vinegars) add charm to the simple setting giving off a non-pretentious, relaxed, ambience. The waiter was friendly and efficient. Now for the most important part: the food! The fish n' chips are deliciously superb. The cod tasted fresh. The batter was light, crispy, and spiced well. What was noteworthy was the tartar sauce. It has a unique tang to it that made the fish n' chips refreshing despite the fact that it's deep-fried. Maybe it was a usage of lime and celery? The chips were nice and crispy, but you could definitely taste the potato still. I ate the whole plate. A pleasant experience. I know where I'll go to get my fish n' chips next time I'm in Manhattan.

    We just had another amazing dinner at Oscar's Place on Hudson St in the West Village. The food is excellent and the service top notch. Best Beef Stew and Fish and Chips you'll ever have. The Trout Almondine is superb. Great mussels too! Oscar's is exactly the perfect little restaurant you'd want right around the corner in Greenwich Village. Warm and cozy (especially in the wintertime) it's like dining in your grandmother's kitchen. Say "hello" to Trinidad and Crispin when you go!

    Bread and butter

    BEST SALMON BURGER IN THE CITY. Place is really tiny but the food and staff are great. Everyone is so friendly, it feels like you're walking into their home. The salmon burger is always fresh! Not sure what's in that sauce but I can eat this everyday. Served with the crispiest French fries. They give complimentary bread and butter to start and the bread is so fluffy and toasted perfectly. Love love love!

    Glorious fish & chips.  Thought I couldn't finish such a generous portion, but I did!

    Appearances can be deceptive. This tiny (16 seats) place isn't real pretty, but boy can they cook! The friendly staff bring masterful fish & chips - a full beautiful fillet with paper thin coating, perfectly cooked. Fries that were cut onsite, not from a bag. Butternut squash soup generously served and scrumptious. Surprising menu options from their English/Belgian background, like a steak and kidney dish, bangers and mash, and tarte tatin (simple but exacting as to technique). My friend's halibut was perfect, the lovely sauce kissed with garlic. My only wish (aside from them moving next door to me) is brighter lighting which this lovely food deserves. And the prices are actually reasonable!

    eggs cocotte/baked eggs
    Marc F.

    Met a friend in the neighborhood for brunch. We had made reservations online but if you go early enough, or maybe get lucky, you won't need them. During the summer they had outdoor seating. The dining area is tight, with only a few tables inside and essentially in the kitchen. The server was helpful, gave recommendations for different options and kept checking in on us. Opted for the eggs cocotte for something lighter and the mash of the day, which I believe had roasted leeks. Eggs were cooked well, salad was a nice contrast, and rich mash. With a day filled with activities ahead of me, it took every bit of will power to not order a full english. But next time, I absolutely will.

We're big fans of Dame, but were so disappointed by Crevette. It's good to know the food shines here. Our favorite dish was the Peekytoe Crab and Uni toast. So much so that we ended up ordering another one. We will definitely return for brunch so we can get the burger and pancakes. Hopefully we can get reservations for inside so we don't have the cigarette ash problem.

The team went above and beyond when we brought our wedding cake (which had been frozen for a year). Not only did they accommodate it without hesitation, they helped decorate and present it beautifully you would have thought it had been baked that same day. It was such a touching moment for us, and they handled it with care and enthusiasm. As for the food: incredible. The steak tartare was perfectly balanced and beautifully prepared. The tuna was fresh and vibrant. And the Beef Wellington... honestly one of the best I've had in New York City. Perfectly cooked, rich, elegant, and absolutely worthy of a celebration dinner. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance: romantic, warm, refined but relaxed. It felt special without being stiff. If you're looking for a place to celebrate something meaningful, this is it. We will absolutely return.

This is a tiny shop, but contains a variety of items to choose from, such as cookies, candy, chocolate, tea, jam, etc. We ordered: The Sheperd's Pie ($7.95) had actual lamb inside so there was a bit of a gamey taste. This was surprising because a lot of pubs just lie and use beef instead. The mash on top also has truffle oil mixed in. This was my friend's favorite pie. The Chicken and Mushroom Pie ($6.25), and the Chicken and Leek Pie ($6.25) were both great, but we preferred the mushroom because it had more traditional gravy. The Scotch Egg ($5.95) was too greasy and salty for us. The Sausage Roll ($6.25) had a flakey crust. I liked it. The Steak and Ale Pie ($6.95) was meaty and flavorful, but it was heavy. My friend was not a fan of both the sausage roll, and the steak and ale pie because she found it too heavy and salty. Overall the pies are good quality and there are not many places to get them. Note that all these pastries were warmed them up in the oven when we got home prior to eating.

(Word to the wise: Do not simply drop in, as the place is usually packed with customers who made reservations beforehand, so make sure to book your table online.) The food is always superb, just the kind of comfort food that I gravitate to whenever I visit England, and the cozy, intimate vibe of the place reminds me of what it feels like to be human after enduring ongoing dialysis three times per week for the past six years. The staff is always courteous and friendly -- special shout-out to the most excellent Molly -- and the restaurant's proprietor is quite a character who clearly gives a damn about the quality of the restaurant's every aspect.

I made a reservation for a Monday evening around 8pm. Even at this time, reservations were scarce. It's not a very large restaurant so I highly recommend making a reservation in advance. I ordered the Sourdough Bread & Butter, and the Squid & Scallion Skewers to start. The bread was crispy and tasty; a solid sourdough, but wasn't anything overly unique. The skewers were herbaceous and light. The green sauce was super flavorful - especially when dipped into by that sourdough. For my main I ordered the Fish & Chips (of course). Were they extremely good? YES. Were they the best Fish & Chips I've ever eaten? No, however this accolade belongs to an actual Chippy I ate at in the UK. As far as 'restaurant' Fish & Chips go however - these are the probably the best I've eaten. The fish was expertly fried and super crispy. The chips were thick cut and well-salted. My only complaint is there wasn't more of them. An extra handful of chips and you wouldn't see the bottom of the plate in photos - just sayin! For dessert I got the Sticky Toffee Pudding. Now this WAS the best Sticky Toffee Pudding I've ever had. Extremely flavorful. Extremely sweet. Would be perfect for two to share. As a solo diner, it was pushing my sweet tooth to eat the entire thing. But naturally, I did. The service was great. Super personable and attentive.

Cucumber salad was pretty good. I liked the smoked mussels 5. Tuna was also good not much to say about it 6. Kedgeree was... just alright. I could have skipped this tbh. The rice had a bit of bite to it which I actually kinda liked. My friends thought it felt undercooked. It's basically just like rice soaked in a light curry 7. Sticky toffee / date pudding: I was excited for this since I've heard all about how Dame makes a banging one but this kinda fell short for me. The vanilla bean (sour) cream didn't really do it. Sour cream with a sweet dessert? I suppose it was to cut the sweetness but hmm... I've had much better sticky dates elsewhere Service was good. Overall a good restaurant especially if you love seafood. Probably not worth all the effort to get a res. But good nonetheless, would come back if it was a lot easier.
