ZZ's Clam Bar 169 Thompson Street, Manhattan, New York 10012

"Very loud especially how small it is. It is a very lovely cocktail bar which I enjoyed but surprised it was Michelin star rated, since it really is a high end cocktail bar rather than a restaurant."

"Disappointed. We at at ZZ’s Friday, 10/1 (only learned it was reopening night from this post), and it was probably our worst dining experience in all of our years in NYC. To say that the menu was limited is a gross exaggeration; it consisted of toast (tuna, trout roe or uni), oysters and caviar. The service was unfriendly and slow. The drinks were too strong. The oysters were nice but the Orient Pearls did not seem fresh. A “reopening” this poorly done should have been postponed (perhaps indefinitely)."

"Get in there if you can book a table! What a gem! They have 4-5 tables and the menu is raw but every bit amazing! The trout roe toast tastes like a divine dish created to make people happy:):)"

"I love ZZ's Clam Bar, a very tiny, very wonderful bar and rawbar / seafood place. Reservations are absolutely required, and the place is a total splurge. It functions like a speakeasy, and seats something like 12-16 people at tiny marble tables. It's a bit like a jewel box, and it feels like something out of a different era, underscored by their vintage barware collection. They have amazing, super crafted cocktails - some of the best - and incredible, fresh seafood. The Chianina beef carpaccio with sea urchin and caviar is absolutely and completely over the top and something I dream about."
