Sara Bost: The best deal in NYC: huge pot of steamed mussels, fries and a pint of Stella for $12! WHAT?! Yes, it's true.
Kyle Bye: A "Dive Bar" is the last spot you think would have decent seafood -- check out anything from the lobster mac & cheese to the grilled salmon sandwich and even a lengthy list of mussels specials.
Candice: Great mussels, wings, mozzarella sticks, and much more

Robin Taylor Roth: The Pot of Mussels is an extremely generous serving (maybe 4 dozen!), as is the accompanying cone of Frites. The broth is very salty, however.
Gabriella: I tried the Fried Oyster, the Crispy Calamari, the Mussels and believe me, everything was AWESOME! I am glad i came here! (The service by Andy was great too)
Joe Rizk: A bit overpriced b/c of the area but overall great food. Calamari is served with marinara on top so if you like to keep yo squid crunchy, ask for it on the side. Mussels sauce is heavy but delicious.

John A: Wow! This place is good! Great Chinese food, farm to table, fun UWS atmosphere. Any dumpling is good, and Thai curry clams & mussels is spicy and tasty. Full bar. Drink: sangria.

Joan Park: mussels were flavorful and meaty but the fries were over-fried. order the mushrooms on toast as appetizer.
Ruby Anaya: Great place to take grandma and grandpa. The mussels were super tasty!

Nicole Lee: Staff is friendly & accommodating. I have peanut & shrimp allergies and they're always able to modify dishes. Reasonably priced gem with a surprisingly ornate interior. Mussels are a must.
Sophie Song: Everything was solid! Fave was “over rice” (street food) with crispy pork belly, Chinese sausage and pork. Also got chicken satay and pad see ew. Great flavor without ridiculous prices!
Heidi B: Pad Si Ew, Pad Thai - both were delicious

JoAnne Kao: Mussels are outstanding
Jeff Solomon: I liked half of the items ordered — recommend the burrata and drunken mussels. The leek and potato soup was below average, as was the burger
Joshua Schwimmer: Consistently great. Try the vesper martini, the octopus appetizer, the brie special appetizer, and the rabbit cavatelli.

Chelsea Balkan: #FabuLIST #DubiDO caprese salad and prosciutto w/ eggplant. Loved the Music here too!! #DubiDONT mussels were very good quality but doesn't compare to Flex Mussels. Spare ribs too salty.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: Great little gem on the UWS. The portions are plentiful and the food is authentic. I recommend their Lasagna & Rigatoni Bolognese. Do leave room for dessert, Torta di Ricotta & Tiramisu are fantastic
DailyCandy: The right place for a quick glass of wine and cured meat and cheese perfection. Take a sandwich to go if you’re on the move. Read more.
Jason Fredricks: Mussels with the pernod cream sauce is a must have appetizer. Duck and rack of lamb were cooked to perfection. Dessert was so-so but everything else was excellent.
New York Habitat: A cozy French bistro in the Upper West Side, Cassis is good for a late evening meal. Their unique lobster roll is one of the best in the city!
The New York Times: A jardin-variety French bistro, offering diet-friendly omelettes and chicken paillard.
Mark Dorison: Mussels in white wine sauce
Asha: So so good! Came for graduation dinner (great for big groups). HUGE portions. Order calamari, mussels, chicken marsala, shrimp scampi, and tiramisu. Best meal you'll have!
