"This multilevel Midtown institution is a great option for a supremely casual seafood dinner. Part of their charm is the flea market-esque decor with signs like “Southern cookin’ makes you good lookin." The folksy neighborhood pub appeal could clash with a fancy-looking blue tray of raw oysters, in theory. But it feels totally natural to throw back a dozen, wash it down with their sweet Goombay Smash cocktail, and eavesdrop on the regulars discussing their undying love for Steamhouse's creamy, chunky lobster bisque—one of our favorites in the city." - juli horsford
