Justin Pulitzer: Broiled Flounder & Scrod are good. Also, must try the home made Rice Pudding.
Kathy McGilvery: The best lamb chops, by far, in New York City!
Harvey Glover: Great Liver and bacon but why change extra for onions? $5 for a side of spinach is a bit excessive as well. However, this is the best (Irish) Sunday night comfort food on the way over east side.
