Diane ChenOctober 6, 2013The service was very attentive and friendly! The seafood was amazing! Everything was done just right and they even made brussels sprouts taste wonderful. We would definitely come back again!!

Sean CurryFebruary 3, 2015Had a wonderful dinner with my girlfriend for our 3rd anniversary here last night. Service was attentive, exceptional, and knowledgable — they really made it special. The Gen Tso Lobster was AMAZING.
Elevine BergeJanuary 15, 2015Incredible seafood. - The charcuterie plate had perhaps the best smoked salmon I've ever tasted (and if it counts, I'm Norwegian and ours is goooood). Great oysters too. Decadent. 🏆- Signs VisualJuly 16, 2015This is a a great place to go to for seafood, and dessert with family, friends, and/ or even alone! The service here is also spectacular! http://www.signsvisual.com Read more

Vini MirandaAugust 21, 2018The food quality tastes great, the service was amazing and the ambiance is delightful.
Sara YJune 28, 2016Great for a corporate dinner when the boss is paying. Well prepared fish dishes and enjoyable atmosphere.
AmateurConciergeDecember 5, 2018Bar is buzzing out of control with the post work midtown crowd. Dining room is thankfully much quieter with standard seafood fare- Chris DasApril 8, 2013Amazing service and food, just a little bit pricy. If you are near radio city you must stop here it is delicious!!!
What's Good HereAugust 12, 2014Be sure to try the excellent raw bar here. Try one of the seafood towers to enjoy an assortment.
AnnG IbarraApril 24, 2013Best crabcakes ever!! Had the grilled swordfish and was awesome too!! Chocolate soufflé for desert -fantastic!- What's Good HereAugust 12, 2014Upscale spot to enjoy fresh seafood for theater or business meals. Can hold large groups.
Bindi KariaOctober 7, 2013Get the Dover Sole. It's flown in fresh from Dover, UK each day. Wonderfully prepared!
The Corcoran GroupDecember 22, 2010Inviting and stylish space with attentive servers. We’d recommend the Snapper Ceviche followed by the Grilled Swordfish with Bagna Cauda sauce.
Susan J CampbellSeptember 25, 2019The crab cakes were delicious but the salmon too much vinegar and the scallops ordinary
Bryn DyarMay 9, 2013I got the Taro Wrapped Pompano, and it was delicious. The oysters were also good.
The New York TimesMay 5, 2010Recommended: Anything from the raw bar, ceviche, any whole fish, king crab, risotto, Napa cabbage, dessert. Read more
NathanJuly 19, 2012General Tsao's lobster was solid, and was made even better by the rum cask Scottish beer
Lori K. http://www.lkpheartsfood.netMarch 13, 2015Excellent staff, wide range of offer on the menu, raw bar exceeds expectation
Lisa HoangJune 17, 2012Stick with the wine or beer selection. Their mixed drinks and cocktails aren't the best.
The Wall Street JournalJune 3, 2010Seafood is the specialty here, but dessert lovers should save room for the donut plate or the sticky rice pudding. Read more
Travis KeyesJune 5, 2013For the price this place should be awesome.. Its not.... Crab cakes.. Good crab no flavor.. I have had much better meals at red lobster- Kelly Ann GonzalesJune 21, 2013OMG. That Maine Lobster. So thick & juicy. Meghan is a fabulous waitress! :)

Carlo De MarchisNovember 19, 2009If you are alone go to the bar and have a double stage shellfish mix with a white wine like Riesling, it's great
Jaime S.April 14, 2013Not the best seafood I've had in the city. The service was good but I wouldn't come back for the food.
