Many thanks. I didn't realize it was a pan-Mediterranean fish.

Not at all. I've never claimed to be. For one, I've lived away from NYC for ten
years. For another, I don't keep restaurant data in my head. When I want to
find a good place to eat, I know where to look and how to compare data before
making a choice. I also have good instinct when in spontaneous situations.

I have a hunch that, given its location, I won't be able to afford it any time
soon. But thanks for the recommendation.
