Seafood Restaurant · West Village · 218 tips and reviews
Nikki Vargas: Don't be fooled by the look of this casual place; the seafood is fantastic & the closest you'll get to fresh-off--the boat seafood in the middle of Manhattan. Go for the Oysters & Maryland blue crab.
Nikki Vargas: Has the vibe of a busy Parisian bistro; the escargot are my favorite appetizer; for main course I always go for the steak frites with that decadent bernaise sauce. Great restaurant!

Nikki Vargas: Just came from this restaurant & the food is authentic Mexican at an affordable price point. Of their 8 flavorful tacos; I went for the crispy yellowfin tuna belly taco & it was perfection.
Nikki Vargas: Less is definitely more at this UES pizzeria that boasts fresh ingredients & a brick oven. No need for tons of toppings; just enjoy their classic pizza margherita & you'll feel like you're in Italy.
