"ZZ's Clam Bar made waves when Major Food Group opened it in New York in 2013. A year later it landed a Michelin nod, and for years following, ZZ’s maintained the star until it lost it in 2022." - Emma Orlow
"ZZ’s Clam Bar, a seafood spot, has closed and transitioned into private dining for neighboring Carbone. ZZ’s had maintained its Michelin star until 2022." - Luke Fortney
"The Italian American Carbone and ZZ’s Clam Bar also fell off the list." - Ryan Sutton
"COVID-19 update: Temporarily closed. This teensy 12-seat jewel box serves top-notch raw fish and small seafood plates best washed down with some pretty out-of-this-world cocktails by Thomas Waugh, of Death & Co fame. In other words, definitely sample a few cocktails, which come in playful presentations from a tea cup to a ceramic buddha with a straw through its belly. As in all restaurants by the Major Food Group, it's hard to get a reservation—same goes for their private room, which needs to be locked down well in advance. "
"The duo behind Major Food Group’s Carbone, The Pool and ZZ’s Clam Bar." - Abbe Baker
