Flex Mussels???
Anyone been? Was looking for a place to go with my father and brother while my father is visiting and saw this is a few blocks from where he's staying. Prices seem a little on the high end for mussels, but maybe it's just me. Money isn't really the issue, but is it good? Also, is it casual? Are shorts and a t-shirt too underdressed? It's going to be in the 90's and to me casual ain't khakis and a polo!

excellent place. the mussel servings could be more overflowing, but i've been at least a half dozen times and enjoyed my meal every time
totally casual, no worries

I really like Flex Mussels. Mussels are large, plump and juicy and well cooked. As to price -- it depends. You can find some places where mussels are cheaper, but I've seen mussels for similar prices in Manhattan as well. Personally I wouldn't order mussels with whine wine and herbs (stuff that you can find pretty much at every mussel place), but order the more "interesting" flavors. They once had a specialty flavor with truffles that was outstanding.
It's also casual -- you wouldn't be really out of place in a T and shorts.
