Each morning our kitchen selects the day’s finest fish and shellfish, prepared simply with Greek influences of bright citrus, olive oil and fresh herbs, alongside handcrafted pastas and prime steaks. Every evening, our team delivers the gracious, attentive hospitality New York deserves.

Whole fish and shellfish flown in daily from the Mediterranean and beyond.
