I tremendously enjoyed this Washington Square West area restaurant. The decor was very 90s urban chic as were the waiters, waitresses and bartender. We soon learned that to get a seat outside the bar area, you need to make reservations.
The service was exceptional, enough so that my friend and I decided to leave over a 20% tip to our knowledgable, eloquent waitress. The food was incredible; my pan-fried flounder was cooked to perfection; the seasonings made it the singular best flounder I've ever had. The accompanying rice and salad were equally tasty. My friend also enjoyed her seafood fettucine. As a complimentary appetizer, there were baguette pieces and pita bread with an olive-oil vinaigrette for dipping; mouth-watering fresh red seedless grapes compliments of the house were a nice touch for dessert.

Here's the skinny on this locally treasured sweet spot. Reservations are not accepted and on most nights (unless you get there when the doors open) you'll have a good hour plus wait. Luckily, there's a cozy little bar across the street to hang out in while you salivate for a tasty plate of fresh food. The hostess will come find you when your table is ready. The menu has the perfect amount of options and deciding what to get is cause for a migraine. Do try the grilled octopus. The fish is always fresh and always delicious. The clams are a hit too. One more bonus at this heavenly hideout, it's BYOB. Enjoy.
