Aimee O'RourkeJanuary 18, 2014The bar has faster service, but grab a booth if you have time to kill & enjoy the perfectly paired 90s hip hop with the mouth watering ceviche and oysters. The lobster and cocktails are a must.
Morgan McKeeJuly 27, 2018Had the best time in this cute spot and thoroughly enjoyed the seafood! Started with oysters, had some tartare, crudo, shishitos, and mushrooms to compliment. All great! Was a cocktail night 🍹
Peter GevrekisNovember 23, 2013Desnuda raw fish creations are truly top notch. Its like a flavor explosion in your mouth. The portions are huge for the quality and price and $ oysters daily! You can't fake quality! Love this place.
Always hit up a tiradito and listen to whatever Peter or Gabe tell you.
Paul WeidingerDecember 8, 2013Fantastic cocktails. Very cool decor. The staff has a keen eye for quality in everything they do. They bring a whole new life to ceviche. The complimentary truffle popcorn makes this place a winner.
Troy SJune 20, 2013Session beers. Huge plus. Fantastic tea smoked oysters (what?). Chef justin makes the space. Grab a seat at the bar front bar for a great experience! Take a seat at the back bar for great drinks.
Lisa PastorJanuary 10, 2015All the ceviches are amazing. They're made with the freshest fish and tastiest sauces and toppings.They're a million times more delicious than standard ceviches. Also, best drinks and best people!
AlyseJanuary 12, 2014Chef Peter was unbelievable! The Civiche was seriously the best I've ever had! Additionally even the sides and apps like the coconut rice, truffle oil popcorn and potato salad were stellar!
Serious EatsSeptember 30, 2013A ceviche bar might not strike you as a logical destination for great cocktails, until you learn that it's owned by Ravi Derossi—of Death & Co. and Amor y Amargo.
zeh fernandoNovember 3, 2013Everything here is amazing, and it's only topped by the great staff. Sit at the bar - super friendly people. Easily one of my favorites in the (very competitive) neighborhood.
Annie TolochinskiApril 20, 2014Oyster HH $1 oysters. We tried the yea smoked oysters too which were great and had a very cool presentation but I smelled like smoke for the rest of the evening.
Anna LahtiJanuary 30, 2017Awesome oyster and clam happy hour! Fantastic sweet potato side dish! Staff and service was great!
Laura Grow-NybergApril 4, 2015Delicious but disorganized! Ceviche, chorizo, oysters, popcorn, and cocktails were phenomenal. If you don't mind sitting at the bar, then it's amazing!
Doctore AguacateAugust 14, 2014Rhum (not rum) cocktail with zucca, something like "between the sheets". Get it. And the dollar oysters sun and mon. Go every sun and mon.
Zachary MossApril 1, 2013Gorgeous space and just as good as its Manhattan flagship! They'll also be running dollar oysters till 8pm 7 days a week soon...yay bivalves!
Steven PiscioneDecember 19, 2014Everything is delicious. The head chef Gabriel is the man! Late night bong oysters are the way to go!
The ceviche is absolutely amazing. I've been a regular since both locations opened. You can't go wrong.
marie mpNovember 16, 2014Really good seafood (the tuna was perfect), ok wines, service is slow but really nice, will definitely go back
- Peter GevrekisAugust 8, 2014Everything is amazing here ! Fresh fish , amazing flavors and the cocktails are to die for !
David BanAugust 9, 2013The fish is great, but head here for the city's tastiest, most inventive potato salad, featuring roasted purple peruvian potatoes.
Kira FisherApril 21, 2014great all day $1 oysters on Sunday. Sweet date spot if you wanna seal the deal 😍
Jeshua BorgesJuly 26, 2015$1 oysters with drink purchase All day, Sunday and Monday Tuesday-Friday 6-8pm
- Leyla KaleliogluApril 17, 2016Truffle popcorn and ceviche is very good. Coctails are good too but no dessert and no coffee!
Nicole CloutierApril 15, 2016Ceviche is excellent but cocktails left a little to be desired. Had to send one back.
Angela MedinaJanuary 27, 2018I really wanted to like this place but it’s expensive. Ceviches are not great and service is ok.

"The food is legit, can't go wrong with a Ecuadorian mixed ceviche after a long night of partying and drinking like a Kendrick Lamar single, but for all good things,comes a downer, the service sucks"
