Serious Eats

Go for the spaghetti with spicy red sauce and clams , the steamed littlenecks, and the scallop crudo . Avoid the fried clam roll and clam chowder , which add cost but no improvement to the classic dish.

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 .

A lovely way to follow meal of raw oysters , or perhaps some fried clams , is Mike Price's stone-fruit-centric crostata, with a scoop of housemade toasted-almond gelato . Peach-and-Blueberry Crostata

We had the Feast of the Seven Fishes . The Venetian seafood salad and the house cut spaghetti fra diavolo were our favorites!

Minka Monica Li

Excellent choice for clam lovers! I really enjoyed eating here- everything was good: clam chowder , baked clams , steamed clams . Service was also great. Nice spot in the west village .

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

Gabriel Hayes

Enjoyed the pan roasted monkfish . Served with butternut squash risotto and pancetta-leek brown butter . Why it is not my favorite of their entrees, O really enjoyed trying it.

Alex Zaltsman

Absolutely amazing. Even better happy hour deal with both east and west coast oysters . We had mostly appetizers and they were all great. Kale , soft shell crab , salmon .

Jenn Coughlin

The Mexican corn was amazing. The lobster salad and fried clams sliders though... first off they were mixed, which was weird. And as a New Englander I was upset to see red onion in the lobster salad .

Marissa Solomon

I love this place and the seafood is top notch in NYC. Tough to get ressies big easy to get in at bar (six seats). Spaghetti with Clams out of this world

Noah Weiss

Brunch is great. Get the poached eggs with peekytoe crab over fresh biscuits . Bonus: takes reservations .

jon ferrer

The soft-shell crab sandwich was very, very good. Get it, of it's in season. Also, it seems to be easy to get a table for lunch .

Preeti S

Scallop crudo and spaghetti with clams was very good. Duck was solid. Oysters Rockefeller left something to be desired. Service was great. Look forward to trying again once they settle in a bit.

Gabriel Hayes

The Brooklyn Burrata & Local Grapes salad is great. Made with arugula , pickled red onions , almonds and served with a baguette .

Sam H

Amazing lobster sliders , clam chowders , okay oysters depending on what's being offered, and great entrees!

Gabriel Hayes

The 86 proof Chocolate icebox Cake (With Bourbon , chocolate wafers , espresso chantilly) is a fantastic dessert .

Evan Kraut

So delish! The Cameron Ceviche app was legit! Long Island steamers, if you like that kinda thing & Lobster +Fried Clam sandwich !

Kate Shaw

Great local brunch option -- can't go wrong with a fresh squeezed OJ and the quiche . Yum!

Pramod Pai

A special go-to place for mainly seafood-based dishes and specifically, gourmet clam-ingredient bites inspired by the Atlantic seacoast. Read more

Andrew Attalienti

Portions are a bit on the smaller side (even for NYC), however the food is pretty good. The spaghetti with clam sauce is made with a red, sauce which is different from the traditional white sauce .

Gabriel Hayes

While I prefer having the scallop crudo on the menu, the fluke crudo is also very enjoyable.

Dina Rughani

The clam spaghetti , asparagus , lobster raviolo, and the icebox. Not mention the fresh buns

Chris Pollone

The fried clams and lobster sandwich might be one of the best dishes in the city . Clam spaghetti was very good as well .

Joanna

I adore their spicy spaghetti with clams . Get the parker roles. Get the chips and clam dip .

Diana Merrill-Liles

Quality seafood . Excellent oysters . Accept their custom roll w/whipped butter. Stock rose champaign is very good.

Sarp Erkaya

Great sea food spot. Add the corn side-dish to your order.

Christopher B

Tortellini appetizer very good. Clams and spaghetti is great! Service is attentive and unobtrusive.

Elliot Wehner

Baked clams were awesome. Liked the swordfish as well and the heirloom carrots are not to be missed

Matthew Spector

Warm and delicious soups and pasta offerings. Amazing seafood spot with great oysters .

Olivia Oran

Spaghetti with clams is a must. We also loved the scallop crudo and the little neck clams in broth.

Lori Luo

The bivalves are the selling point here, as the Spaghetti and Clams illustrate, but don't underestimate the Roasted Half Chicken either.

AmateurConcierge

Clam Pasta is not to be missed, Clam fried rice and Softshell crab solid as well .

Gabriel Hayes

Enjoyed the stuffed clams a lot. Very nicely seasoned.

S. Fan
