I'm so sad to say that this restaurant has closed. Try the one in the West Village....and be careful about supporting corporate chains in these areas... they are pushing out our best New York hideaways.

This is a tiny and quaint. Food is DELICIOUS. You can feel the love they put into the meals. Great prices, and you don’t have to decide what you want. They make two meals a day, 1 for lunch, 1 for dinner.

Has fish and sushi dishes

All I can say is that I find this restaurant to offer the ultimate romantic experience. Perfect lighting. Every dish delicious down to the last morsel. And amazing service. See my article in the Epoch Times
