JIM FILIP WILL BE HERE TO GREET YOU.
As owner/operator, Jim Filip and his landmark seafood restaurant have become living legends in the culinary world. Purchasing the restaurant in May of 1978, his mission to create a premiere dining experience has also made him a local legend among a devoted following.
Long acknowledged as an authority by top NYC restaurateurs and fish purveyors, Jim is so passionate about fresh seafood that he rises before dawn, drives to Manhattan's famed Fulton Fish Market and carefully hand-selects only the most outstanding catch of the day just for you.
He also has the same passion for fine wine, traveling far and wide to learn about new and classic vintages. The result is Doris & Ed's award-winning collection (Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence every year since 1985) with ever-changing choices available by the glass.
Come toast the good life with Jim today!
