Charming Greenwich Village seafood spot w/ standout fish & chips & creative wine list.
This charming and compact restaurant in Greenwich Village, from the founders of Crevette and Lorde, has quickly become a sought-after spot. It's renowned for its seafood-focused menu, with the fish and chips being a particular standout. For dessert, the olive oil cake with cherries is a must-try, and the creatively categorized wine list adds to the unique dining experience.
Dame is highly praised for its seafood-centric menu, with the fish and chips frequently cited as a must-try, described by some as the best in the city, while others found them lacking flavor or overpriced. Other popular seafood dishes include oysters (especially grilled oysters with hollandaise), tuna tartare, and mussels. The sticky toffee pudding and olive oil cake are also frequently recommended desserts, though one commenter found the Eton Mess disappointing.
