Great spot for a seafood themed brunch especially if you want to pair with crisp wines. Oysters were solid, and the clam sliders are a must order. Service was very helpful and pleasant!

Very nice little place with plenty of seating area outside. $2 oysters for happy hour that’s not bad but jumbo shrimp yakitori is more medium and dry not with that much flavor I think $3 for happy hour is to much. I guess I have to come back for dinner and taste more food because atmosphere is really nice.

I loved the place. The clam chowder was the best I've had in NYC, and both the shrimps and the fish were great. Highly recommended!

Everything was pretty solid. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Our server helped us making some solid food choices. We didn’t have to wait long for food or drinks. This was a great experience!

Always a wonderful experience. Food and service are excellent. Not an extensive menu but everything they have is done extremely well. Tonight's scallop special was phenomenal, really everything was thoroughly enjoyed from the shrimp spring rolls to the chocolate bread pudding for dessert.

Really excellent. The lobster and clam strips slider and clam chowder were top notch, but the unexpected star of the show was the roasted carrots! Recommended all around.

This place was fantastic for drinks, apps, and dinner. We went for a bunch of different apps vs the entree fish dishes. The east coast oysters we had were perfection. Also very much enjoyed the lobster arancini, and the crudo. The rose sangria was tasty and so pretty too! I'll definitely be back.

Indoor and outdoor seating.

Came here for a birthday celebration! Excellent food and service! Julio our server was exceptional and very attentive! My partner had the mussels to start and I had the jumbo shrimp ! Entrees were the Branzino which was cooked to perfection! Skin was crisp but meat was moist! I had the Halibut and the butternut squash risotto was amazing ! A side of Brussels made the perfect accompaniment ! We thoroughly enjoyed the food to the extent we ordered more to take out! The Clam is a gem! They made our celebration and we will be back for sure!
