The move here

Locals come for an old-style fish meyhane that hasn't tried to become anything else. Writers and artists have long been regulars, and one raised table is kept for the people who've earned it.

Book a window for Friday or Saturday. It isn't cheap, and some reviewers grumble about prices and how tables are arranged.
