Morgan McKeeJanuary 24, 2018Uh, YUM! We love to frequent the UWS and this spot was perfect. Spot is unassuming and wait staff a bit slow, but mini tacos (fried fish) to start and grilled branzino main was this fish lover’s dream
Jackie LuoDecember 20, 2015So surprisingly good, given the low profile this place has. It was pretty empty, but we ordered charcuterie (try the lardo!) and a fantastic branzino with crispy brussels sprouts. Will return.
Trae FJuly 4, 2015The smoked octopus was amazing and the sundae was over the top! The menu set up is a bit awkward but I appreciate the intent. You'll know what I mean when you go.
Arne FaabergFebruary 24, 2018Please this is underrated by far. The ceviche was fantastic and beyond. Worlds best fish n chips and a extremely good sea bass. The smoked gravlaks??
Peter BergSeptember 25, 2014Weekend brunch prix fix is a great deal: $20 for coffee, cocktail, and entree; additional cocktails half off! Lamb burger and trout hash are great.- Guest of a GuestJanuary 25, 2012Both a wine bar and a chic Mediterranean restaurant, Fish Tag offers an eclectic menu for both the foodie and wino. Award-winning Michael Psilakis pairs each dish with a wine. Read more
Bullfrog & BaumSeptember 13, 2011Get ready for some delicious and creative cuisine. Be as daring as you like: go for the Branzino Stuffed with Head Cheese, or play it safe with Prawn Bruschetta or Grilled Sea Bass.
Courtney R.October 1, 2012Love that they do 1/2 glasses of wine to encourage food pairing. Ambiance and food is amazing. Start with the Greek salad and go for the salmon
Laurence LafforgueJuly 2, 2013approved. great food, great music and super nice service. the design is so 80s post modern it is almost funny and wrong! kinda of awesome actually.- Bullfrog & BaumJanuary 24, 2011When in the mood for awesome seafood this is the place to eat. This seafood centric Mediterranean restaurant offers delicious garnished fresh fish and an exotic raw bar.
LogoTVOctober 9, 2012You can't go wrong with anything on the menu…and the best Manhattans on the UWS. - Tyler French, Hunting Season
- Bullfrog & BaumApril 18, 2013The smoked octopus with new potatoes, hearts of palm, date & green olive puree, snow pea leaves and pumpkin seeds is a great dish.
Sean DalyMarch 30, 2018The food really is excellent. Whenever I come back, I plan on not leaving without having the paella
JoleenJune 16, 2011Amazing food, service and cocktail list! The wine and beer list is also amazing. Get the muscles and the prawn bruscetta!
New York HabitatJuly 2, 2012This is a great place for smoked fish, the salmon is to die for and the wine is delicious!
AmberOctober 23, 2011Sit at the bar, order an array of cheeses, meats & apps (and fab cocktails) and you won't be disappointed!- Bullfrog & BaumAugust 27, 2012Before your meal, be adventurous and try the Bacala & Skordalia Brandade “Melt” You wont regret it!
Julia MNovember 17, 2012Come for fish or cocktails -- Smokey D is consistently delicious, and so is the snapper
The New York TimesMarch 2, 2011Can you even get phone reception down here? What you want is the prawn bruschetta, followed by a lamb burger and a glass of big red. Read more
Sarah KramerJanuary 30, 2011The dumplings are a must but we lived everything we ordered-the Bransini and crab were delicious.
B STARDecember 3, 2010Keep swimming... Boring atmosphere with equally boring (and inexperienced) waitstaff. The food is overly ambitious. I foresee an early closure with this spot.
Mike JollyDecember 9, 2012Pig & Fig surprisingly bland, lamb burger was severely undercooked, and the Greek salad looked sad & tasted like bong water. Avoid this place.
- Scott McKeeFebruary 5, 2011So after making us wait 45 min for reservation, the waiter then gets an attitude with us about ordering quickly before the kitchen closes
