Description: This local seafood restaurant is home to many New Yorkers, especially in the winter. Since it is centrally located in Manhattan in Grand Central it is a very busy spot for lunch. You will find a variety of groups enjoying this seafood fare; business luncheons, friendly lunch get-togethers, commuters and of course clever tourists.
There is nothing special about the decor, you don't come here for the elegant ambience- you come here for the delicious yet elegant looking food. There are actually two parts to this restaurant; the red and white checkered tables and the quick lunch counters. Depending on your time and casualness you choose your location. We have spent time at both locales. Both are equal in good service and great food.
In the wintertime, this place is especially packed due to their incredible chowders (New England and Manhattan). They serve you a large deep bowl and all the saltine crackers you can eat with it. It’s fantastic. Sometimes, that’s all you need for lunch! (And at $6.00, that's a bargain!) Two can eat lunch for roughly $15.00.
Favorite Dish:
The fish is nothing but fantastic! The service is top notch.
If you order any type of shellfish dish, they will bring you your dish and then de-shell right in front of you with ease.
I can't say enough goods things about this place!
My favorite dishes include: New England Clam Chowder, raw oysters - bluepoint, clams - little neck and the Medley of Fresh Shellfish with 1/2 Lobster! De-lish!!
