From the OpenTable editors: Combining his Swedish upbringing and Ethiopian heritage, celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson gives New Yorkers an innovative, seafood-forward fusion spot that could only come from him. The two cuisines blend beautifully in dishes like berbere-cured salmon served with apple water and avocado that earned this Chelsea hotspot two stars from the NY Times. It's all served in a vibrant space with sculptures from famed artist and restaurant partner Derrick Adams on the walls.

    The menu was ecclectic. Highly recommend the blue cornbread, tuna tartare and the wild mushroom curry. We tried several of their cocktails. Favourites were Express Yourself and Hav & Martini. For a large restaurant, it was surprisingly quiet. Servers were attentive. Definitely recommend.
