Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Seafood specialist Bergen Hill has earned a cult following among the neighborhood’s discerning diners (many of the city’s top food writers call the neighborhood home). Chef Andrew D'Ambrosi, a memorable Top Chef contestant, combines precisely cut raw fish with nontraditional flavors (perhaps tuna with green olive, currant, and jalapeño, or poached octopus with onion, raisin, and harissa). The toasts are a must---crunchy bread topped with lobster salad or perfectly seasoned roasted eggplant. The best seat is at the tiny chef’s bar, where he might tell you about a recent trip to Barcelona or slide you a sample of his latest creation. The wine list is mostly old-world and adventurous; cocktails lean alternately classic and interpretive.
