...is owned by the renowned chef, April Bloomfield, and is located in the Ace Hotel in NYC in the bordering neighborhoods of the Flatiron District and Lower Midtown at 1196 Broadway.
This restaurant specializes in oysters (of course) and small plates.
I started with a Veronicocktail (prosecco and candied ginger) - $12.
Then I had the Char Pate ($9) served with a Parker House Roll. The pate was good, but the roll was fantastic - warm and buttery.
Next I had their famous Oyster Pan Roast ($14) which is a creamy soup studded with oysters and topped with an Uni crostini. The waiter suggested a side order of Parker House Rolls ($4.50) for dunking - which was a great idea. I could make a meal of these fabulous rolls. The Uni was also buttery and rich.
Then I tried the Spanish Mackerel Escabeche ($12) which was very tart and even though the white filets were flaky I didn't like the flavor all.
The dessert menu was not very inspiring so I had the Grapefruit with ginger sugar cookies ($7). The cookies were great - light and airy.
