Great food and some of the best oysters in NYC

Pricey, but, likely worth stopping at if you're a tourist and looking to shake things up. Wait staff was mostly attentive and the food was good.

WOW, the worst service and less than mediocre food. 20 minutes after we paid our bill, as we're walking out, the server stopped us and asked us to pay our bill again. I confirm that the charges went through as shown in receipt and from my transactions online. They still insisted I didn't pay and that they cancelled the transaction. I asked for proof for the cancellation which they couldn't provide. Another 10 minutes later, the supervisor, Andrew Larson, arrived and didn't offer any better explanation, didn't apologize for the inconvenience, didn't offer any solution, instead stated this happens frequently in the restaurant. Dine here if you want to be over charged more than once for your meal

Are your oysters wild caught or farm raised? And, what sizes of hard shell clams do you serve? Thank you. Arthur, the lower Potomac, Virginia

Arthur Carver | Oct 3, 2018
Virginia Benedict | Oct 3, 2018

That is a good question and one that restaurants never 'can' answer. It is likely they may have both kinds, wild and farmed. FYI, they serve very very few wild caught fish or moluscs.
