The dining room of this lively seafood house is
decorated in warm tones of deep orange with brown
and green accents. There are banquettes along two sides and a large bar serving specialty drinks. Contemporary light fixtures, black and white photographs, framed
mirrors, checkerboard tiles, and a tin ceiling complete
the comfortable decor. Totally unpretentious, the
upbeat ambiance blends harmoniously with the inventive cuisine. New owners Todd Lefkowitz, Matthew Vario
and Judy Whitney have taken this successful seafood house to new heights with creative specials that blend interesting ingredients.

Todd is the executive chef and Chris Comunale
is chef de cuisine. They are both Culinary Institute of American graduates and put together a menu that has favorites like sea bass, mussels and a raw bar. There’s
a blackboard of daily specials that are as glorious as the menu selections. Vanilla fried lobster tail is accompanied by a sweet key lime anglaise and mango chutney, and falafel crusted tilapia with tahini drizzle are two of the specials that show the chefs’ originality. The international wine list has choices that pair well with the menu items and offers 15 selections by the glass as well as daily wine specials. Signature dessert is Chocolate Rain - chocolate mousse filled flourless chocolate cake with chocolate sauce raining down on a chocolate umbrella. Now, who could resist that mouth-watering treat!

The trio are “people persons” and customer
satisfaction is a top priority. This philosophy translates
to mean top quality, creative dishes, carefully plated
and service that is friendly, efficient and knowledgeable.
