Came by last night for dinner and was so amazed by the service, the food and overall experience. Before arriving I got a call from the restaurant asking about my accessibility preferences given my wheelchair. They agreed to reserve a table for us outside even though it’s typically first come, first serve.
That was an awesome start but when I arrived, I was even more impressed with the attentive service. We were walked through the restaurant week menu which we ended up going for and started with the calamari and crab crispy rice. I ordered a filthy martini which came out pretty clear and they let me know that they water down their olive juice which was an interesting choice being for cocktails but great if you like em strong!
For the mains, my friend got the Thai lobster curry and I ordered the spicy squid ink spaghetti. Definitely was way too much food but I’m glad I was able to squeeze a bite of the warm cookie a la mode dessert because it was DELICIOUS. New neighborhood fave! Thanks team.

I came here on Saturday night in mid July for a 745pm dinner a pleasant weather day with two other people. The reservation for the restaurant was booked less a week prior. The restaurant didn’t seem to be close to full at any point during our experience so a reservation might not always be needed. Note that is table seating in the front bar area as well as in the primary dining room, in addition to outside seating.
I really wanted to like this restaurant. The menu looked great. The atmosphere of the restaurant is super charming and on theme. Our server was attentive, pleasant, and knowledgeable of the menu. I also tremendously appreciate the sustainable aspect of the menu and business. Unfortunately the food just tasted sort of like nothing. Everyone at the table agreed.
I wouldn’t refuse to go back to this restaurant if someone suggested it, but I also wouldn’t see out another visit.

I had a high-quality visit here, with the food being the absolute highlight at a perfect 5 stars. The service and atmosphere were both consistent 3-star experiences, providing a comfortable environment for an exceptional meal. If you are looking for top-tier seafood on the UWS, this is a 4-star overall choice.

We went around the holidays and it was beautifully decorated outside and inside. The staff/waiters are amazing and attentive! Oysters are delicious and fresh -It’s been 24hrs since I ate there and didn’t get sick 🙂 so that’s good!
Happy hour is from 4-6 and that prices are very reasonable includes cocktails wine beer and food!
For the main course (after 6pm) we had squid ink pasta, lobster roll and steak! All were very delicious and good portion.

Delicious oysters – fresh and served with a nice informative description of where they were from. Delicious drinks. Their BigBen cocktail was tasty – quite strong as well. Their Affogato was generous and delicious.
Celiac: Do not recommend due to low food safety. Although their menu gives the impression that they are attentive to gluten, it is not the case unfortunately. I was served gluten although verifying 3 times to ensure I was given the gluten-free version. This happened 3 separate times. That’s a lot. I am almost impressed.
When I asked about the Tamari sauce, I was told “it should” be gluten free. The waitress indicated she wasn’t going to verify that with the kitchen. I skipped eating the dish.

Our favorite brunch place in the neighborhood. The food never fails, oysters always fresh, and the Bloody Mary, hands down, the best I have ever had. Been there multiple times and the service is always exquisite, you can feel genuine hospitality from them. Love love love this place a lot.

Great fishbar overall! Raw bar has over 15 oysters from all over US and Canada. The seafood was fresh, and loved the shrimp cocktail.
Menu has a lot of plain and interesting combinations. The casual, lively ambiance made it a fun spot to relax and enjoy a Saturday meal – there were a lot of people and the staff was super friendly and attentive.

This oyster happy hour has a strong reputation for a reason — it generously delivers.
We recently revisited Crave UWS after a 1.5 year long hiatus from it (not intentional, just hadn’t gone in a long time). It was fantastic. My husband and I are trying to cut back on our *imbibing*, which can be hard to do at a happy hour. However, they have a good non-alcoholic beer on hand and who ever said tonic and lime doesn’t go great with oysters? Exactly.
We ordered a dozen blue points and two cherrystone clams to kick it off. SO GOOD and SOOO HUGE. Honestly the blue points were actually a little too big for my taste! However, they’re tasty and you get your moneys worth. The raw bar offerings are cold, crisp, clean, no matter what you choose to order. It really lets you enjoy the nuances between the different oysters. My friend from CA looooved the Shibumi’s!
I highly recommend this spot if you like seafood and especially if you like oyster happy hours. The other items on the happy hour menu are also delish. Get shuckin!

First time at the UWS location – having been to the Midtown location a couple of times which we loved.
Service was fantastic, like the decor here as well however we were let down by the food.
The Oysters were good as was the slider but everything else was a let down.
The calamari was super salty and soggy. The iteration we had at Midtown was leagues better.
Same goes for the salmon tostada…did not taste that fresh and was uninspiring.
The crab hand roll was also too salty and the salmon hand roll was passable but again didn’t hit the mark.
The ngiri was a salty mess as well and again didn’t taste fresh.
Food came out and record speed and all at once – but it almost seems like some of the items were pre-prepared given the freshness wasn’t upto the usual standards. They need to take some notes from he Midtown location.
A rather disappointing experience overall.
