A great restaurant from one of our favorite American chefs serving top quality fish in various Mexican styles in an all wood fired kitchen. A top flight bar as well, albeit as one would expect concentrated on tequilas and mezcales. Service is a bit off at times but always polite. One minor annoyance is that we arrived about 15 minutes ahead of our reservation and we were promptly ushered to the upstairs bar only to then be seated at the table that we had noticed empty when we arrived.
Had read/ heard a lot about this place and that meant trying it out. Online reservations didnt show up any vacancy, so called ahead and got a table for 7.30. Was promptly ushered to our table with the menus. If you are a mezcal fan, this is the place to be. The mezcal menu runs 6 pages – was too much for me, so tried the Mezcal flight of 3 variations. All of them excellent – it sure warms the ears pretty fast. Coming to the food – we stuck to seafood – but naturally. Had an avocado based salad, mussels with pork in a dark red soupy sauce which what white wine, and a ceviche. All 3 were exceptional. Each of them distinct with very different flavors. We followed that up with a main of Arctic char with tacos and sauce. It is written that it can be share by 2 – honestly I think 4 people can work on a single order. They showed us the fish before it was getting grilled/ roasted. It came back in a huge mound of pink fish with sauce and tacos on the side. It was a lot and we couldnt finish it. The Fulton Market area is an interesting place with lots going on. This place will see more action in the coming years.
Absolutely amazing! We came here as a team of colleagues on a whim. Every dish on the menu sounded so delicious that none of us could decide what to order. Someone made a suggestion that we all order something different and share family style. Pure genius idea. Every bite we ate was universally enjoyed. We all vowed to return the next time we are in the city.
