  Saturday night dinner with my kid who is now a teenager who loves to dine out just like her mom.  
  I've had lunch here  and had some oysters, which  are very good.  Very beautifully presented and fresh.
  
  For dinner tonight, we shared a lobster salad as an appetizer.  We liked that they split the salad into two plates, with a lobster claw and half a tail each.  The salad was delicious, with avocado, beets, mesclun greens and a champagne vinaigrette.  
  
  The bread they put on the table was phenomenal and sooo worth the carbs!  A corn bread stick with kernels of corn.  An onion focaccia that was so fresh and flavorful.  
  
  I had the scallops with a crab risotto, which was flavored with what tasted like lobster bisque with sherry.  The sugar snap peas provided a nice crunch.  I loved every bite.
  
  My kid had the truffle cod with mushroom ravioli.  I enjoyed the taste I had of this dish as well.
  
  For dessert, we shared a coconut panna cotta with tropical fruit and passion fruit sauce.  What wonderful flavors!  We also had some complimentary cookies, which were yummy.

  This restaurant decides that it is acceptable to dump their trash water onto the sidewalk resulting in the entire area turned black from the trash water permeating into the concrete and a stench of rotting fish and rancid fats enveloping the whole block.
  
  At first i thought this behaviour was just an unfortunate mistake but the consistency and perpetuity of the smell and colouration lead me to believe this was done on purpose. This was confirmed today when I personally saw one of their employees dumping the water casually onto a public sidewalk.
  
  I have already filed a complaint to the new york sanitation department but please don't give them ANY business until they become responsible neighbors with some basic human decency to not pollute the entire block with their waste.

  Even after 3 years - this place continues to serve good food!  Specializing in seafood - prepared in many ways.
  
  This time I tried the special sea bass with truffles sauce and mushroom risotto.
  
  I highly recommend this place for people who love seafood.  They really know how to prepare seafood.

  Consistently delicious food, fantastic service, and a great team of staff.  Lunch today was excellent, so was the service!  And sitting outside on the terrace in this beautiful weather, was wonderful.  Don't walK, RUN to Aquagrill for brunch, lunch, and dinner!!  See my photos for dinner inspiration at Aquagrill!!   Enjoy!!

  Easily one of the best seafood restaurants in NY.
  
  Quality food with quality service. The protected outdoors seating is nice anytime of the day.
  
  Not my cup of tea but there is a large selection of oysters. I had one and it was very fresh.
  
  For appetizers, I highly recommend either the cod cakes or crab cakes, both were a hit at the table and were devoured in seconds. The warm octopus salad was also delicious, a healthy option if you want to avoid something fried.
  
  On to the entrees, the miso glazed sea bass was my favorite. Perfectly cooked and seasoned sea bass, just the right amount of miso flavor. I do think there could've been less kimchi and more string beans.  The truffle crusted cod was flaky fall apart in your mouth goodness. The truffle sauce with the big hen of the wood mushroom really compliments the entire dish perfectly. I could've used one more ravioli. That seemed to be the theme, everything was so good I just wanted more.
  
  Last but not least, dessert. The caramelized mango tart is the way to go. If you are having a hard time deciding, it's the ultimate choice. The mascarpone cheese and the puff pastry topped with a little macadamia ice cream is the way to go. If you're a coconut lover, the coconut pannacotta was full of coconut flavor. While the warm apple tart is always a safe classic.
