This Sunday, February 20th, The John Dory Oyster Bar will extend its service to Sundays for lunch and dinner.  Normal hours will continue from noon to 2am, and the raw bar continues from midnight to 2am. 

Located on the corner of Broadway and 29th Street, the 120-seat restaurant is a casual, seafood-focused spot that recreates the lively feel of turn-of-the-century oyster bars. By design, the “JDOB” is more bar than restaurant, with cocktails from Sasha Petraske of Milk & Honey, counter seating, and a menu of small and shareable seafood dishes, all under $25. Chef Bloomfield and chef de cuisine Josh Even, previously sous chef at The Spotted Pig, show their commitment to sustainable seafood throughout the menu. Bar snacks and raw bar are a focus, with dishes such as anchovy and parsley pesto on toast, pickled oysters and crudos including hamachi with ginger. A selection of hot plates are also featured, including oyster pan roast prepared with a custom steam kettle. Wines on tap are available and, to supplement the ample beer list, Brooklyn’s Sixpoint Craft Ales is brewing an oyster stout especially for the JDOB. Friedman and design firm Roman + Williams created the interior, which features tiled walls and vaulted ceilings that recall the look of classic oyster bars. Custom-made fish tank sconces illuminate the bar area that looks out onto Broadway and allows guests to take in the action on the street. In the downstairs kitchen, a 12-seat chef’s table provides front-row seats for watching Bloomfield, Even and their team cooking and plating the freshest daily catch.
