Every dish blew me away! Food had so much depth of flavor, and it was a perfectly paced meal. Cocktails were delicious, highly recommend A Little Hanky Panky. And don’t skip on dessert! The toffee pudding is a MUST. Dine in a group of 3-4 so you can try as many dishes as you can.

Loved celebrating my birthday with my parents here. Can’t wait to be back!

My absolute favourite place for seafood in this city.

It can be so hard to get seafood right in this country but Dame does every dish right. The seating is limited so definitely get a reservation but once you’re there order anything off the menu and you should have a good time, especially if you’re already a seafood lover.

Both myself and my not-as-seafood-loving counterpart really enjoyed the meal, and so being able to find that right balance between our tastes is an impressive feat in itself.

I’d definitely recommend the fish & chips at the very least. The crispiest and softest fish & chips I’ve ever had! I also really liked the clams in wine.

A perfect meal on a gorgeous late summer evening. The hostess was so friendly and helpful when I reach out to say we were going to be about 20 minutes late. Every single bite of food was delicious, but I must give it up for the squid skewers and the fish and chips. I don’t know how they managed to make such a substantial piece of fish (hake, we asked) so perfectly light and tender. The potatoes were similarly incredible, especially dipped in the homemade tartar sauce. I’m already dreaming about when I can go back…

Beyond amazing seafood restaurant in Greenwich village. The roasted oysters were unbelievable… do not skip. The tuna tartare was delicious and the fish and chips were light and fresh. Great for groups or date night. Dimly lit and intimate but not too stuffy

Amazing amazing restaurant. Probably one of the best places I’ve tried in Manhattan. Super high quality ingredients that you can taste. The service was also amazing. The waiters were very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend the fish and chips, the squid & scallion skewers, and the tuna tartare. I also especially enjoyed the sourdough and butter. Really beautiful place to enjoy a meal! Will definitely be coming again!

We've had the opportunity to eat here twice and loved both times. The fish and chips are a must, the breading on the fish is ethereally light and crispy. Other dishes are perfectly prepared with bright flavors that complement the seafood. Get whatever version of tuna is on the menu and don't skip dessert. The strawberry trifle with black peppercorn meringue haunts my dreams.

My wife and I were able to get a Friday evening reservation, sitting at the counter and getting to enjoy the view of the (very) compact kitchen during our meal. After starting with martinis from the bar, we worked our way through the menu with some assistance from our helpful server. We started with the oysters, and continued with the squid and scallion skewers and raw scallops with peas and arugula. We split the famous fish and chips and the tuna tartare for our mains. Everything was incredibly fresh, delicious, and meticulously prepared. While certainly not cheap, we felt we received great value for the quality and enjoyment from our dishes. Service was friendly, helpful, and happy to share their knowledge of both the food menu and unique wine list. A++

If I could give 4.5 ⭐️ I would.

I came in with very high expectations, and while not disappointed, I wasn’t wowed. It’s very good. Portions are very small so be prepared to spend $$$ if you’re hungry. Short menu and mostly seafood. Everything is very good, but of what we had, only the baked oysters were outstanding.

Baked oysters: outstanding, highly recommend
Fish with beans - very good.
Crab and white asparagus - good but underwhelming
Scallion skewers - very good
