    If it's not too busy, The Dory is a cool place to pop in for oysters and cocktails. For a special occasion, ask about the chef's table tasting in the kitchen. [Eater 38 Member]

    The oysters are SO good; I'll have a dozen more, kthx.

  • Time Out New York

    Try the sublime kedgeree, studded with flaky haddock and garnished with fried onions, rice, ribbons of omelette and lime. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011.

    Don’t miss the impossibly decadent $15 oyster pan roast here, and try the Eccles cake with Stilton for dessert. Featured in Where to Eat 2011!

    From the same folks behind The Spotted Pig, the focus here is (obviously!) on seafood. Had a wonderful peeky-toe bruschetta. -Monica Pope, Top Chef

  • Condé Nast Traveler

    The bar's happy hour special (5 p.m.-7 p.m. or midnight-2 a.m.) includes a half-dozen oysters and a 20-ounce pint of stout or a glass of cava ($15).

    Oh, man! An hour for a table and you’re in the bar staring at a phone. Order a riesling and the char, make yourself feel better. S’worth it.

  • Beth Ferreira

    Delicious...but shockingly small portions. Order a lot or plan to hit up McDonalds afterwards

  • Jim Herman

    The sixpoint oyster stout is exclusive and is brewed with oyster shells. It's a must.

    Everything oyster!

  • Takahiro Ide

    Let's compare East Coast and West Coast oysters.

  • Jason Hellinger

    Bad service. Food was decent. More of a drink and raw bar kind of spot!

  • Erin Lane

    Oysters, oyster pan roast, octopus, squid, and parker rolls. Oh. My. God. If I could live in this kitchen I would.

  • Rafael Bagmanov

    My tongue had a lot of orgasms tonight

  • Serious Eats

    April Bloomfield's Mediterranean bar-style restaurant in the Ace Hotel. Though waits can get long and the space is noisy, we've loved almost everything we've tried. Save room for dessert.

    Chorizo stuffed squid is amazing! Avoid lobster roll as its served hot for some weird reason.

  • vikram

    You probably know this but the Oyster Pan Roast is the most decadent and amazing thing. Also get Parker House rolls an one of the ceviches.

  • Lindsay Duggan
