Without the discounted Groupon, I would have felt like this was an incredibly overpriced restaurant for the food, service and ambiance. With that said, it was still expensive for the amount and quality of food. The fish fingers and chips had such unbelievably thick breading that you practically needed a magnifying glass to find the tiny pieces of fish! I asked if the thick fries were crispy and got an affirmative, but they were far from that. The Mahi skewer platter with two sides was tasty, but a pretty meager portion for the price…same thing goes for the Mahi burger. I was told we could get a carafe of ice water, but when I asked, I got three cups of tap water with ice. This is a high-end food court in an interesting building, but there are too many other restaurants I wish to try on my next visit to NYC to consider going back.

Great special of day salmon skewer with double side salads (great greens mixes and veggies) had the prosecco missed on the sangria but hear its great. Salmon was seasoned great and cooked just right

I received a different item from what I had ordered. They were quick to rectify the issue. The fish and chips was good. The shrimp and fish tacos were ok. I wish the tacos had more complex flavorful than just a linear sour taste.

Mahi taco was my favorite. Salmon taco was fairly good too. I didn’t like the side Mediterranean salad- it tasted like something that was pre- made Horus before served.

Had the shrimp appetizer- heavenly and comes on a bed of greens, pickled onions. Devoured completely. Wine selection quite nice, unique and pairs well with the seafood. Owner and bartender Ray so friendly and helpful. Go!

This restaurant or cuisine is amazing. I had dinner with friend , he was very happy with the wild mahi from Chile as the manager said it was from. I had the shrimp, they were season so good that I will definitely be coming back sometime this week or next week. The owner should be very happy for this lovely concept. The staff were great. Thank you for an awesome time.

It’s a shame this isn’t a ten point scale because this place is definitely more than a four, but not quite a five.

Cute counter inside The Hugh with excellent food, healthy options and affordable drink menu. It can get a bit chaotic in the seating area.

Came here for the truffle fries for a snack and they did not disappoint – probably one of the best in the city. Didn’t have plans to stay and eat here but then I met the owner and he was awesome and personally made my husband and I impossible tacos and they were literally one of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to see how they expand but highly recommend for lunch or a casual dinner. A hidden gem for sure

Wow!!! I was blown away !!! Pescelulu is the new deal guys!!!! They have so many amazing selections. I came for the first time and met the manager Gabe/Gabriel he is a doll. He has the manners and customer service that everything should always have in the food industry. He recommended the seafood platter with fisherman’s soup and roasted veggies and I’m telling you it was phenomenal. He also recommended the peace pasta for my husband as he love all types of fish and was interested as Gabriel said the soup had many fish inside. Very flavorful and I will definitely be coming back to enjoy the bronzino. Thank you to the chef Kevin and to the david as well. I appreciate you guys so much!!!!!!
