It was our second time to this location and the food is fantastic. We had the fish taco and calamari for appetizer and both were delicious and gluten free. The tacos had a nice, slightly spicy sauce and the calamari had a nice flavor as well. For dinner we had Icelandic cod, which had a delicious sauce on it, and barramundi which was really good as well. I hope they have tables outside during the summer to enjoy some outdoor dining.

Had a great group dinner here for NYE. Appreciated the great service and food and that they didn't force a price fix even for our party of 9. This place is always a solid choice with a unique menu compared to so many places in nyc. Will definitely be back in the future!
