"Sure, oysters are lovely, but we bet your after-work cocktail hour would be more exciting if it included ceviche. Mission Ceviche is an UES restaurant specializing in Peruvian seafood and cocktails, with a new menu for every season. If you want something more filling, they also have bigger plates like lomo saltado. The dining room leans into nautical themes with hanging ropes and sparkly fish-shaped wall hangings, but most importantly, it’s huge and noisy, so your group can get as loud as it wants. We’d recommend sitting on their sunny, plant-decorated sidewalk patio, which feels secluded from the busy street." - neha talreja, willa moore, carlo mantuano
