    Excellent steak
    Michael P.

    Went here before seeing a show (Moulin Rouge), on 5/17/24, and have to say I was impressed. The staff was very warm, friendly, and attentive. The dishes were very well prepared. Of particular note was the fillet mignon. Excellent. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

    Classic American dishes done well. From service to cocktails, nothing disappointed. The spring rolls are to die for and the mozzarella triangles with marinara hit the spot. Each dish was delicious and classically prepared, a great spot for a night out

    Underwhelming. We stopped for lunch. Thought that we were in for a treat considering the lobster bisque was yummy and the oysters were perfection but sadly that was not the case . Ordered steak medium , had to send it back because it was over cooked and when they brought it back to me , it wasn't the best tasting . He got the ny strip , which tasted so much better than mine . They only offered 1 cabernet sauvignon by the glass . It was ok I guess. We ordered mushrooms and lobster mac . Everything was just "ok" Upside- the bartender was A1. Those old fashioned helped BIG TIME . Just go straight to the bar next time.

    Lobster Bisque
    Aurora A.

    Our first food stop when we arrived in New York! We were three of about 10 people total in the restaurant. They had a great lunch menu with a variety of choices. We had the lobster bisque, Caesar salad with chicken, and steak sandwhich. The food was AMAZING. One of the best Caesar salads we've ever had. Only complaint was our server took a while to come back after we had finished eating. We wanted to get walking and he was nowhere to be found for a while.

    Baked Clams

    Greetings and salutations yelpers. My first review as an Elite Yelper..yay me! Ok, this spot was on my spreadsheet and last minute dinner with an out of town friend decided to dined. I was so looking forward to an amazing meal and sadly that was not so. Our waiter, not the most engaging, a bit stand blunt. No engaging conversation, recommendations etc. To start the bread brought to table seemed like dinner rolls one would purchase in the supermarket. Appetizers: we ordered the baked clams and baked shrimp. Both very bland and needed some form of seasoning. As a new found baked clam lover I was very disappointed. Avid shrimp lover disappointed once again. Main course: Shrimp Milanese, once again lacking in flavor. It felt like something to be served in a pizzeria and not worth the $34. So much breaded didn't recognize it was shrimp and wondered if they gave us chicken instead. Lobster Vodka Pasta: the saving Grace which made my rating 3 instead of 2. It was delicious and flavorful and made me wonder how the other dishes were so bland. Another reason for the low score was the constant interruption from various staff asking how are things. I get it you want to be attentive, but it was overkill and it really curtailed the ability for my friend and I to catch up with what is happening in our lives. After a while not to be rude, it was annoying. All in all I really had high hopes and was looking forward to a great dinner but sadly it was just mediocre. The wow factor I was expecting was not to be.

    We popped in for Happy Hour. We sat at the bar and were served in a very timely matter. The bartender was very friendly. Nice Happy Hour Menu. We had the Baked Clams, the Mussels (in white wine sauce), and the Mac and Cheese. It was all excellent! The bread they served us was really great. Especially dunking it in the "juice" of the mussels! The mussels and the clams were perfectly cooked and both nice and small. They weren't Huge clams or Mussels like they were on steroids!! Drinks were good! Price was extremely reasonable. For happy hour we had 3 small bites, and 3 drinks, $65.00! And it was all great!

    Penne lobster pasta

    My sister decided this is where she wanted to go for her 29th birthday. Not everyone wasn't pleased with the prices on the menu but I will say if your looking to go here with family and not sure what to get the penne lobster pasta it was so delicious for me. It was so creamy and filled with lobster pieces not as much lobster as I would've liked only because I love huge lobster chucks. But overall this is a great choice if you want good filling food for a decent price.

    Ate here on a fall break trip 2 October 2023. Being in New York City after a long day of site seeing I was looking forward to a great dinner. This place seemed like the best from walking a couple blocks. The atmosphere was. Ice and the gentlemen greeting us at the door was fantastic. Super nice guy. Wish I would have caught his name. I'm from the south I wasn't expecting the kind welcome like we get in the south. Entering the restaurant I was pleased with how everything looked and was ready for a great meal. When the waitress came to the table there seemed to be a language barrier, to be understandable for New York and their smashing of culture and my hillbilly accent from Kentucky. Ha. Maybe this could explain the mix up in food preparation. I ordered the 14oz ribeye medium rare and it was served rare. Overall the taste of the steak was very bland. They literally put no seasoning on the steak and the fat rendered no flavor. The cut was very pour and had a lot gristle, making it hard to cut. Was very disappointed in the steak. Maybe I should have expected that from the name of the restaurant; note do not order steak from a seafood restaurant. You will always be disappointed. My wife ordered the wedge salad and was pleased, made comment that the bacon added the finishing touch. My daughter ordered the meatball and spaghetti, my daughter is very well traveled and keeps her on blog on Yelp saod the spaghetti sauce was very cheap and tasted like something from a can at a grocery store.

    It's just OK. Soup was lukewarm, pasta with clams was fairly tasteless and the bread was so hard and stale it was uneatable.

The lobster is a little chewy, but the spicy claws were very flavorful. All of the crab had so much meat and the seasonings were all amazing. Surprisingly, the iron steak was one of our favorites despite this being a seafood spot. The waiter did say to just check mark the paper instead of quantities, but they end up bringing you 2 of everything you order. The sweet & spicy fish is also very solid, garlic noodles were buttery, and even their iced tea was super refreshing. Could not recommend this place more!! Bonus: they play a great 2000s throwback playlist that got us singing along and dancing while we were peeling all our seafood to pass the time. Shoutout to whichever employee put that playlist together!

This is exactly the kind of place that works well when you need something fast but still high quality. Service stood out. Jeanine was excellent; she quickly understood our time constraint, guided us to the right dishes, and kept everything moving without making it feel rushed. At one point we accidentally put a plastic menu over a lit candle, and she handled it immediately and made the moment feel light rather than awkward. The atmosphere was lively and full; the place was packed, but it still felt organized rather than chaotic. The bar looked well stocked, and the overall ambience worked well for a pre-train, Times Square-adjacent stop. Food was solid, with a few standouts. The salmon tartare with sesame crackers was excellent; clean, fresh, and well balanced. Jeanine recommended the shrimp avocado sliders, and that was the right call; they were outstanding. Happy hour oysters were fresh and well balanced. Littleneck clams were good, though slightly less compelling than the oysters. The fish tacos were good but not particularly memorable. Fried calamari was well executed, though the accompanying sauce could have used a little more flavor. The hot sauce, assuming it is made in house, was excellent and added a much better punch to the seafood. Drinks from the happy hour menu, including the Pink Flamingo and margarita, were good and consistent. I would come back to try more from the main menu. If you like seafood, this is a strong option for the price point and location, especially during happy hour.

From the moment I entered the restaurant, I knew the experience was going to be next level. Thank you Jay for seating me and my friend at the best table in the house. Thank you to our phenomenal server Shamim. Your service was really over the top stellar. Soon as you sit at the table, menus are placed. Complimentary delicious bread, water, and warm hand towels are provided to clean your hands. The seafood buffet is $168 and you can order everything, as many times as you like. The buffet is contactless. The food is served to you at your table. Because the food is served in a manner that is based on a shared dining experience. All guests at the table have to order either buffet or Prix Fix menu. My order of Rockefeller oysters, and clams were simply the best I ever tasted. The way they were prepared is the only way I want to taste them. The next dishes they brought out were fried shrimp, sizzling shrimp scampi. Soft shell crab was cooked to perfection. My garlic butter Nova Scotia Lobster was divine. Cooked, and served to perfection! Next the sizzling sea bass was brought to the table! O-M-G! Within a second after arriving to our table still sizzling. Jose came to personally debone the fish (never had that done before) and he added the Thai chili sauce. At this point, my body was in a foodie coma! After a brief clean up of our table. I left our dining room, and went to the ladies room. When you walk in the ladies room, between the floral scent, and decor you are in awe of the details, the bathroom was dreamy. Back at the table our two servers set up a Picasso style dessert with hand drawn chocolate with the ice cream and a delicious cheesecake. Thank you for the birthday wishes, and celebration for my friend. José out did his self with his talented art skills. Special thanks to the Manager Sam for stopping by every table to see if everything was to our satisfaction. It was beyond our satisfaction. Tip: Make reservations even if your a party of two. Be sure all guests arrive at the same time. Tip#2: The upstairs level is perfect for large gatherings, corporate events, holiday events, bridal, baby showers, bar/bat mitvah's, and industry events.
