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

Went there on my birthday with some friends. We ordered the calamari and chopped salad as appetizers and it was great. I ordered the Oven Roasted Chilean Sea Bass. I thought it was excellent, but it wasn't really fullfilling. We then ordered the Molten Chocolate Cake for dessert and it was delicious. Overall, I think this is a great restaurant to go to if you haven't tried this place yet.

Excellent brunch on Saturday April 26th -- great live music --- the guitarist was phenomenal. The music provided just the right atmosphere for a light, enjoyable meal. The service was friendly and prompt. Also check out the ceiling lights.
