Profile

A sister of the Blue Water and Atlantic Grills, this sizeable Upper West Side restaurant is often bustling with a glossy, somewhat older crowd packed tightly into compartmental dining rooms. The service is almost startlingly friendly, and the salt-topped table rolls will have you feeling satisfied before real food even arrives. It’s not hard to see why the place is so popular: Most dishes are prepared simply and well. Plus, the 20-plus oyster selection is fun to read even if you don’t like the slippery devils. — Christina Nunez
