A modern oyster bar spin from a New York institution, focused on crisp shucking, chilled towers, and strong bar energy. The seafood reads classic East Coast—littlenecks, peel-and-eat shrimp, and a clean raw-bar rotation—served in a sleek Manhattan West setting. It’s a reliable shellfish hang rather than a chef-driven deep dive, but it delivers consistently.

East Coast Oyster Selection, Peel-and-Eat Shrimp, Roast Littleneck Clams
