Best Seafood Tower?

[wild child]

Can be any location and any price. Thanks.

Lure on Mercer Street has phenomenal seafood plateaus and on top of that they have two amazing sushi chefs. I went a few weeks back and sat at the counter and was surprised at the scene. def worth a drive by.

Mark Jospehs has a different take on the seafood tower, rather than going raw/ cold they serve a hot one. It has friend clams, calamari, lobster tail, shrip and is great.

For the cold traditional one I really enjoy Balthazars (have also had Aquagrill's version but there is something about the clams with the vinigarette at Balthazar that makes me crave it).

Wingman, can you provide an address for the location that you stated serves a hot seafood tower...? Searches return nada.

I believe he's talking about the MarkJoseph Steakhouse at 261 Water St. near Fulton.

Absinthe and Smith & Wollensky are good.

Expensive in both cases though.

On the Upper East Side, Orsay has a really nice tower.

Blue Ribbon; Aquagrill.

Second Aquagrill. I had theirs a few weekends ago. It is pricy but worth it.

I also agree with Blue Ribbon as well as Aquagrille and any of the other BR Guest Seafood restaurants (Ocean Grill and Blue Water Grill)

I really enjoy the one at Balthazar - great sauces - mignonette and a tomatoey tarragon one.

a second for Balthazar - though i find the rest of the menu pretty tired.
