They have the exact same set up at Cochon.
This was my first thought when I read the OP.
It's unfortunately a common design. I hate it. I understand it and am no longer shocked by it, but I hate it. I don't want people hearing my conversation.

Yeah, r2r has that shtick on lockdown.

Go to hottest new restaurant in city.

It has more to do with design and restaurant economics. And again this isn't anything new. Restaurants have done this forever. Deuces along walls is common and had been forever

"hottest new restaurant" SERVES "happy meal." The irony is funny. You insult your precious Peche by your attempt at insulting me and my choice of apps and small plates based upon your precious, high class Peche's wait staff's recommendations. Are you not embarrassed that you support an establishment that prides itself on its delectable choices of happy meals? I sure would be.

Only because their prizes are so crappy. They really need to step up their game in that department. How many decoder rings does one man really need? I refuse to go back until I can get a Hot Wheels car.
You're still trolling, huh? How's that working out for you?

Well. 7 pages about Peche is what I sadly expected. Less to do about food, and more to do about internet bravado, anonymous, look at me, I'm going against the grain. Sigh......

Nothing that I said was really assuming. I read through the thread and based my post on everything that people were saying.
Better comparison is that what he did was a bit like going to a steakhouse and getting shrimp cocktail, wedge salad and onion rings and came on here saying some was good, some underwhelming and he didnt get why people liked it so much.
He then exagerated/lied about the seating, and blamed the waiter for his totally missing the stars of the show (despite seafood grill being in the name and a large raw bar with daily specials on the place) and started freaking out when it was pointed out he ordered lamb, a basic fried fish, dip, hush puppies and soup....

You're supposed to ask the waiter specific questions about the preparation of an item, not 'what should I get?' You did the FDB, I'm going to _________ restaurant what should I order? iRL. If you don't know what you like, how on earth is a random kid working his way through school supposed to? He picked the no-brainier items for you. Not his fault. How would you be blown away without going out on a limb and ordering something that sounds interesting to you? If he'd have brought you a raw fish dish would you have been blown away? They don't want you to return an item so you got the most accessible items on the menu. =not blown away.

Rule of thumb: If you're going to Peche, order its namesake--the fish. Crudo, cobia head, fish collar, whole redfish or snapper...a lot of options there. You could get 3 small plates, split the whole fish, and split a dessert and be satisfied.

What's funny about my visit to Peche is that my least favorite dish was the small plate fish. I think it was catfish, so I wasn't expecting it to be more than good catfish. The broth and greens were terrific. I just didn't care for the crispy catfish to be sitting in the broth. It wasn't crispy enough to hold up at all in the broth. I wasn't crazy about the mushy texture and breakdown of the crust. It wasn't a bomb by any means. Just wasn't my favorite. I had all seafood dishes, though, and loved every other one of them as well as tasting other folks' food.
My opinion is that Peche is excellent for what it is, but I really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. It's not a place to go for a quiet meal unless you're hitting in during a really slow period of the day.

I think that's is the pickled catfish. If so I didn't particularly care for that either. It was ok

I've never seen that one. I agree, it doesn't sound well thought out. Hopefully that dish is gone for god.

Yes, it was the pickled catfish and I told you not to order it, Mr Balls.
Flavor was actually spicy and good. I loved the greens, but only had a few bites of the fish.
Actually, the greens were pickled. I'd order those as a side sans the catfish.

After reading this thread, maybe the waiter perceived you as a juvenile that would like fish sticks and hush puppies.

You have obviously never dined anywhere in NYC, pretty much what is expected.
