A compact East Village seafood counter that feels like a neighborhood secret even when it’s packed. The cooking is clean and precise—raw bar and small plates that lean modern American rather than fussy. Ideal for a spontaneous, walk-in meal with a glass of something crisp.
Must-Try Dishes: Oysters & clams platter, Char-grilled shrimp, Soft-serve miso dessert (seasonal)
