A gem of a restaurant with a luxurious outdoor cafe a second floor party room with a “pop up” Steak concept and the best raw bar on the UES. STANDOUTS were the shake fish sandwich the frito misto style seafood appetizer and the whipped Ricotta appetizer. The coconut curry Mussels were the best rendition we ever had of a mussel dish. The BOMBOLINO donuts are a show stopper something that is worth a trip in and of itself. Service is crisp and efficient without being cold. Terrific wine by the glass selection as well

Came here for the steak frites experience, but didn’t see it on the menu. Had a pot of Dijon mussels instead. I also ordered a Mac and cheese with lobster, and flex fries.
The mussels base broth had a nice flavor. They put a generous amount of Dijon mustard in it. It was very mustardy. However, the mussels were a bit disappointing because they were so tiny and skinny. I thought winter was supposed to be mussel’s season, but they seemed to be starving.
The Mac and cheese was nice. It was cheesy and creamy. I like the macaroni they use. The swirly structure makes it easier for the cheese to cling onto it. The lobster was a bit unnecessary. Should’ve order without it and save $10.
The flex fries were nice, but really nothing special about it. With the price of the mussels, the fries should have been included. I only ordered it out of curiosity. It carries the name of the restaurant and charges $9, but it was just ordinary fries.
The bread was perfect to soak up the sauce. The server was nice enough to bring me another basket of bread, so that I wouldn’t be leaving still feeling hungry. It worked!
Overall, it’s a nice restaurant. Mussels were fresh. The cooking was good. Food was nice. It was very crowded and load in there. I almost asked to change seat to the outside in this 27 degrees weather. The chair wasn’t very comfortable, especially the booth chairs. I could feel every single movement of the person sitting against me. The restroom was pretty clean.

On a cold winter day this meal hits the spot.
The fact that they have happy hour even makes it more amazing .
The mussels are large in size and served in a wonderful broth nicely seasoned. It’s perfect for dipping the bread into.
The service is great and I always check on you.
You easily could walk in and get a seat at the bar, but play it safe and make a reservation if you are a large party.

Kids friendly, Happy hours! The restaurant offers $8 small martini and $10 spritz. If you love to drink, you can go here all the time.
Cheeseburger sliders, fish tacos, and and creamy mussels were very yummy. They have plenty of spaces on the ground level and second floor which I both visited. I see small kids all the time here!

Underwhelming Experience at Flex Mussels UES. Visited recently and left feeling the vibe didn’t quite match the hype. The food, particularly the Bangkok mussels, was flavorful and tasty, but honestly, nothing extraordinary or show-stopping. Portion sizes were on the small side, and at $32 for the Bangkok mussels (plus an extra $11 for Old Bay fries which, by the way, great on their own but not worth the premium, especially when solid moules and frites are available citywide for around $28), it felt overpriced. Lack of personal touch during our visit added to the underwhelming experience. Worth a visit if you’re in the area and craving mussels, but maybe not a must-visit destination. Just something to consider.

Miss the downtown location, but worth the trek uptown. Excellent mussels great drinks, and if the weather is nice, great indoor/outdoor seating. Perfect for people watching, mussels, and a nice crisp white wine or two.

Their new manager is great- very nice and patient.
The oysters are delicious.
Guys, please change your Service Dog policy – it’s UES and every other resident has a dog…

Lovely neighborhood spot. Haven’t been back in years but the mussels are still as good as I remember them! The donuts are always fun to have at the end. Pretty good oyster selection as well.
Their Benedict is a sleeper hit. Most places don’t make them that well but theirs is on point even though this is a mussel place lol

It seemed like a hidden gem I stumbled upon by chance, yet clearly a local favourite.
The mussel dish had no unpleasant smell, and the Wagyu burger—if I recall correctly—was bursting with juicy flavour as I cut it in half; it truly tasted as good as it looked.
The male staff member provided impeccable service and appeared to be a person of great tact and charm.
Although the ambience and interior design left something to be desired, the quality of the food more than made up for it.
I intend to return next week for another visit.

Dined here earlier this week and had a lovely time. Arrived during the transition between lunch and dinner so had limited menu options but it was fine. What was available was delicious. I liked that alternative options to mussels in white wine sauce were listed, that was a nice change. This version of mussels had a nice kick. Bread had to be requested, it wasn’t included which was fine. Just could let all that yummy broth the mussels were sitting in go to waste. I’m a bit particular with French fries and these were perfect. I recommend checking this place out. Perfect for solo eating, a date, yap session with friends, etc. I’m not on the UES often but I definitely want to come back and try more of their menu.
