The fish is some of the freshest you will find in NYC. The quality and variety is comparable to (and possibly better than) what you find at Oceana, Fresh, RM, Milos or Esca. The staff is very knowledgeable about the different tastes of the fish and helpful in guiding you to the winners. The octopus appetizer, soft-shell crab special and lethrini were all standouts. The bi-level space is inviting and warm. The wine list is somewhat eccentric and the desserts could use some help - although the Valhrona chocolate crepes were outstanding. You will have a great meal but you will pay a steep price for it.
Pros: Fresh ingredients, Inviting room/decor, Knowledgeable staff
Cons: Expensive, Weak desserts
