    We (5 people) ordered several small plates and several mains and shared for a festive Christmas Eve dinner. Everything was delicious, prepared at the highest level with the freshest fish. Especially recommend the salmon sashimi tostada, the crudo special, and the barramundi. Nice cocktails too. We may make this a Christmas Eve tradition.

    The food was amazing. I had the squid ink with shrimp and my husband had the Berger. We also had oysters and clams from the raw bar. It was all delicious and better than expected. We’d love to come back.

    A four PM reservation should not be told up front that we need to clear out by six. I chalk that up to hospitality inexperience.

    Such a pleasurable meal. The fish was delicious and well-prepared (ok, the brussel sprouts were overcooked, but otherwise the food was quite good); the service was remarkably attentive. I hadn’t been here for a few years and was pleased that everything was as good as I had remembered it.

    Place is cute however portions are TINY and prices are super expensive. Wanted a nice meal before a show at The Beacon- and regret it wholeheartedly. What a rip off. The swordfish that was over $40 were 2 tiny pieces on a plate with some greens. Pathetic. Lobster roll had no flavor and tasted like it had been sitting in water. Jonah crab claws were not cracked enough so you couldn’t get to the meat and they were tiny. I seldom write reviews but this was really a complete rip off. Buyer beware. Super disapointed .
