"Little Italy’s bustling India Street is home to Ironside, a maritime-themed outpost from Consortium Holdings (Leila, Seneca). The vintage nautical setting complements the seafood-focused menu: platters piled high with oysters and Maine lobster, buttery lobster rolls, shrimp aguachile, and more. The clam chowder is an excellent starter (or entree) — a savory bowl loaded with clams and bacon bits, served with a cheddar biscuit for dipping. For chowder with a twist, try the chowder fries: garlic fries covered with cheddar, bacon, and a layer of soup used as the dressing." - Roxana Becerril
