Little Whale Oyster Bar

An ode to the seaside clam shacks and raw bars of the New England coast, Little Whale is set in a charming brownstone with Chef Michael Serpa at the helm. A new addition to his seafood empire, the airy, bright atmosphere with a breezy, nautical feel offers two floors of dining. While a smaller order of tasty bivalves whets your whistle, go big with one of their three chilled plateaux—the Newbury, the Grand or the Big Whale (a whopping 24 oysters, dozen shrimp cocktail, dressed lobster, ceviche, tuna crudo and caviar service). Dishes not to miss include the Greek Branzino, white clam flatbread, bluefish dip and broccolini with white anchovies.
