The meal ends with saltwater taffy tucked into the check, which tells you everything about Greg Vernick's intentions at this sleek seafood restaurant inside the Four Seasons. Terrazzo floors and floating orb fixtures signal expense-account territory, but the menu keeps drifting back to Jersey Shore summers. The branzino, the sardine toast, the ceviche all read serious, and then there's a diner slice from the pastry case waiting at the end.

How we scoreThe dishes from the writeups
-
Eggplant katsu
“Don’t miss the eggplant katsu, which gets roasted whole, smashed, breaded, fried until super crunchy, and paired with aromatic Japanese curry.”
Philadelphia Magazine, 2025 -
Branzino roasted with guajillo chiles
“After a feast of flavorful ceviche, a deceptively simple toast of sardines on thick sourdough, and branzino roasted with guajillo chiles, the meal ends with a slice of pie from the glossy pastry case that belongs in a Jersey diner”
The New York Times -
Incredible New York strip
“They have an impressive wine list, several crudo options that deserve streets named after them, and an incredible New York strip.”
