Flex Mussels

Editorial Review

Uh, worst name for a restaurant ever? Okay, cut 'em some slack, they were an 18-seat shack on Prince Edward Island not so long ago. After smashing success with UES branch, PEI mussels go redux downtown. Preparations flit from Thai (lemongrass and curry) to Mexican (chipotle and chorizo) to Mediterranean (olives, fennel, oregano, and shrimp). Small, modern space with reeds along the walls, warm lighting. Deep wine list and good sake selection add to the date-night potential.
