Dame

App was weak - maybe felt a bit low on the salt, not as flavorful as it could be (oysters, cured mackerel) - cucumber salad w smoked mussels was good tho Main was a hit - poached cod with chorizo was really good, perfectly cooked and flavorful. Fish and chips can’t go wrong but it was extra crispy and the fish was so soft and tasty. Oh, the drinks — the non-alcoholic vinegar shrub or something was amazing. Overall good but not the top of my list.

food is good, but nothing really stood out except the fish and chips. the curried crab was decent. basically a fried curry rice. the fish and chips were good but the batter had a strange grainy texture to it. overall solid food but not worth a line.

Ambiance (5/5): The space is so incredibly small which is why the reservations are so hard to get. We managed to get a reservation at 9:30pm! The space is tight but also quaint. Some seating by the chefs prep that overlooks the kitchen. Service (5/5): Service was on point throughout the meal. Our server provided us with some recommendations as well. Grilled Oysters (5/5): These were phenomenal, super flavorful, juicy! Get at least 2 per person. Chilled Scallops (5/5): The sauce is divine. The scallops are soft and complemented from the texture of the melons Fried Squash Blossoms (4/5): There was a nice crunch to the fried blossoms Tuna tartare (5/5): So much flavor in this but a tiny piece of bread. Skate cheeks (4/5): The breading was full of flavor and a hit of spice and sweet. Scottish

We dined 10/16 so this is a late review. 1 star for the food as the batter for the fish and chip was still raw and runny inside. It tasted like beer and raw dough. I know it wasn't the intended taste as we ordered 2 fish and chips and the other one came out fully cooked. The rest of the appetizers were interesting, but the fish and chip orders were our intended main, so we were super disappointed. Told the staff what happened and nothing was done in response.

Dame is a Village gem. It is a small, intimate restaurant that has some of the best seafood dishes I have eaten. The food is very fresh and prepared right there in the open kitchen. They are known for their Fish and Chips, very British style and yummy! The oysters were delicious (and I am not even a fan of oysters). Nice variety of drinks and an extensive wine list. The staff is very friendly, the maitre 'd even remembered me from a couple of weeks ago! It is a very small restaurant and very popular, so reservations is a must! But worth it! Dame is A+.
