Customer Reviews

Very nice and neat restaurant hiding in White Plains. The grouper is very fresh with good price. The octopus is excellent, better than the one I have at Fish Gourmet. The rice stew with shellfish is just fantastic.

Probably one of my favorite restaurants - I've been going here my entire life (30+ yrs). The shrimp + cognac sauce (appetizer) and a steak are non-negotiables, though I switch it up between the sirloin and ribeye with shrimp. The roast potatoes that come with the steak are soooo good and unique. Anything else added in is great too -octopus, asparagus, prosciutto + melon, shrimp cocktail. I'm not a huge clam fan, but my family loves the steamers. Manny, Elaine, and Tony are all wonderful and always make you feel welcome. Longest standing restaurant in Silver Lake for good reason.

I heard so many amazing things about this place so I decided to go and check it out. It will say the decor is a little dated, not that that matters to me. The food was excellent and very fairly priced service was excellent. Do you will only one thing that me and my dinner partner were not thrilled with was the classical rock cover tunes that were played. Something a little bit more restaurant like would have been appreciated. I'll definitely go back and I will recommend this place to everyone I know. Excellent seafood. It was a little strange that they served us grapes that look like they should have been thrown away with the brown ends.
