Jeremy Davis: Burger, hot dog, Old Bay fries, Chicken Caesar salad... All good choices. Avoid the beet & goat cheese salad. Get a pitcher of sangria or you're doing it wrong.
Andrew Raymond: Get the white sangria and a burger...fries with old bay are also quite good.
Elizabeth H.: Perfect spot on summer evenings with a killer view - white sangria, old bay fries, and the chicken pimento were big hits at our table. Dog and kid friendly, too!

Natalie Keyes: Latte, Fairfax burger and old bay tots!
Cole Kennedy: The Old Bay tots are the truth.
Emily Wilson: Perfect for having a glass (or carafe, or bottle) of wine with a friend after work, where the option is always open to have some food, too. Menu changes often but white bean hummus is a classic hit.

Seafood Restaurant · West Village · 81 tips and reviews
Mat Brown: Get the clam & lobster sliders with Old Bay fries. Have no regrets.
Eater: The menu features East Coast seafood favorites. Look for cherrystone clams stuffed with pancetta, roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon and peanuts, fried rice with seafood and pork belly.
Tasting Table: The restaurant's soft lighting, reflect off a gorgeous arched tiled ceiling, as you twirl strands of linguine studded with tomato sauce and clams ($21). Try their awesome appetizers too. Read more.
Tiffany: This place gets really packed during happy hour but come for their craft beers and $1 oysters. Also try the homemade chips with truffle or old bay seasoning.
Mike Friedlich: OG Beef burger was very good but was overcooked and not the best I've ever had, but the Old Bay Chips are out of this world. Every chip is so tasty with old bay spice.
Tom DiMaggio: An upper east side gem, excellent list of rotating craft beers on tap, great food. Come during daytime happy hour for cheap prices!

Leslie Holland: Go for lunch and have the cheddar burger with their delicious fries. (ask for the fries without the Old Bay seasoning if you prefer them plain.)
Scott Hueston: grilled sea bream with kohirabi, fennel & red grapefruit is sensational. quinoa hushpuppies w/ capers & lemon: superb. for dessert, get the apple pie with SOUR CREAM gelato - instantly devoured
Tom Barbaro: The roast chicken was fantastic - crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside...
