Looks can be deceiving! Living on East 4th street, my wife has the luxury to visit a plethora of wonderful restaurants and other establishments providing a rare combinations of great food and good atmosphere.
While I did not have the opportunity to check out the inside, the outdoor part of the restaurant sitting on the street of E 4th was pleasant - with the exception of the most important aspect...the food.
The hostess sold us on a few dishes and talk about overselling. She sold us on a extremely overpriced dish that was certainly not full of fresh seafood - called Nosh. Nosh was filled a bland broth, 2 overcooked shrimps, 1 scallop and that was about it. Definitely nothing to write home about.
If that wasn't enough, the salad that we ordered might as well have been made at a local fast food joint and was $10+. Needless to say, the salad was nothing spectacular and the lettuce was actually a bit old. I would be doing a disservice to the proprietor if I did not share my thoughts, but didn't get a chance as I was figuring out how the establishment was trying to rip us off from using our Groupon that we stated we had before dinner more than a couple times. In any case, I STRONGLY advise that you check out a couple other options at your footsteps if visit the downtown area.
