    The mussel journey begins with the New Yorker (buffalo sauce with carrots, celery & blue cheese), stops off in Athens (kalamata olives, red onion, feta, & oregano) & Paris (bouillabaisse). Read more

    Tucked down near Bleeker Street; this unassuming place offers up delicious mussels with unique flavors and combinations.

    Food is so-so. We got Chefs Best mussels-it was rich, but heavy creamy sauce overwhelmed the mussels/lobster. Pass on the pan seared scallops - food & sauce not well seasoned/balanced. Crab cake good

    Mussel pots were cream based and very heavy. Lobster Dijon mussel pot doesn't taste a bit like lobster. Valencia wasn't bad. OK dinner, but not great. I don't plan on going back. Sit outside!

    The place looks very nice but the quality of the food is bad. The 1$ oysters happy hour are not good and they don't look good. The pots are small and not tasty at all, lots of mussels were closed.

    The kitchen puts out good food, but the place is understaffed and the service is poor as a result.

    Very dirty restaurant. My glass had leftover food in it and every glass I tried to change it with had grease stains and lip prints. The food isn't that great either. Don't go here!
