    light and tender calamari
    Nicole J.

    Omg love the food here. I had fried calamari and fries, it was amazing. The calamari were so tender and fresh. The fries were cooked just right, have already been back 3 times

    Always a great experience here! I ordered the half lbs of clams and head-off shrimp, with a side of favorite - garlic noodles! My partner opted for the fried shrimp, which came with a good portion for the price ice. The person in charge was warm and friendly. We witnessed him chatting with several customers, making everyone feel welcome. The venue was cold.

    Very good

    Very good ,The seafood is delicious and not too expensive. I've eaten at this brand many times at many branches. I recommend it. There's a promotion on Thursdays, which is good.

    Shrimp and Garlic Noodles

    Favorite place to visit in New York. I come each time i visit my sister. Fast friendly service.

    Adult CapriSuns. I think this was the berry vodka concoction.

    I have passed this place quite a few times over the past few years and was like let's check it out. I'm glad that my impulsive side won out. From start to finish everything was pretty fantastic. Our hostess/waitress was pretty much on top of everything, and we did not have to wait more than 2 minutes for anything. Overall, the food (and drinks) were pretty fabulous. My partner and I went with the two pick boil (shrimp and mussels) plus sausage. Shortly after digging into the bag, I wished that we added one more crustacean to the mix. While the two pic boil was enough, I think that I was being greedy with the consideration of adding one more seafood item to the bag. We did add an order of fried calamari to our feast, but it did not compare to the seafood boil. Looking forward to visiting again.

    Great place. And amazing staff they're super attentive. The food was great. My only wish is that they put more sauce inside the bag. Also I ordered a lemonade drink and it had no flavor. it tasted like watered down lemonade :( Overall great place for some seafood boil.

    Coleslaw, Garlic Noodles, Shrimp Basket
    Cheryl P.

    We ordered a few things here via ubereats for dinner the other day: the fried shrimp basket (came with fries), and sides of garlic noodles and coleslaw. We were impressed by how crispy the fries were even though they were delivered and the noodles were very flavorful (not to mention that they were a relatively unique side to offer in the first place). We wished that there had been a few more shrimp in the basket serving, and that they had been dipped in a thicker batter (may be just a personal preference though), but overall we really enjoyed our meal from here!

    Pescado

    I tried to call to make a reservation for this upcoming Saturday and it says the voicemail is full and it doesn't allow me to speak to someone. Is there another way I can make a reservation? I would love to visit on Saturday to celebrate a birthday!

    Try calling the general questions line. I called and was put through. You might be calling the wrong number?

    Is this the same owners as the one in fort lee New Jersey?

    Yes.

    What types of drinks do they have in the adult Capri suns?

    I believe one of them was a kind of rum punch. They put their own spin on tropical cocktails.

We decided to the set menu where you get to chose an assortment of sides and mains. We decided on watermelon salad, okra kimchi and potato salad for our sides. The watermelon kimchi and the okra really stood out. The sauce of the watermelon was fresh, light and full of flavor. While the okra was crunchy and not too slimey. We also went with the blackened catfish, and japchae balls. Both of which were solid! For our mains we did the crab curry, the fried chicken, and the brisket with grits. The chicken was battered to perfection, it was airy and not too heavy. The grits were done beautifully, the texture wasn't overly wet and mushy! Normally not a grits gal but it was sooo good. Some of the pieces of meat were rendered while some were a bit tough. The staff even threw in cornbread for our table which was very sweet! The crab curry had a very seafood front flavor, trust you knew crab was in that curry. We ended with both desserts the yakault drink being a crowd favorite!

The first thing I noticed was how clean the restaurant was. It's a smaller space, but everything was spotless. Our hostess was incredibly friendly and seemed to be doing it all seating guests, making cocktails, checking in on tables, and even folding napkins and prepping utensils for the next customers. She never missed a beat. Since it was Restaurant Week, they were offering a $60 seafood boil special that included an appetizer, a boil, and dessert. My date and I decided to share everything, so we ordered the Cajun spaghetti and the Restaurant Week boil, adding a whole lobster for an extra $20. We also ordered drinks. I had the Raspberry Martini, and he had the Clawlatta, their take on a piña colada. Both cocktails were beautifully presented and perfectly balanced. Even though there were only two of us, our waiter pulled another table over so we had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the full seafood boil experience. It was a thoughtful touch that we appreciated. The Cajun spaghetti came out first, and it was delicious. It had a rich, flavorful sauce with a nice kick of spice that lingered at the end without being overwhelming. Then... came the BOIL!! I ordered the garlic butter seasoning with mild spice. The bag arrived piping hot, filled with plenty of shrimp, the whole lobster, potatoes, and lots of flavorful buttery broth. Everything was fresh, hot, and seasoned perfectly. It was messy in the best way and absolutely delicious. When we first arrived, there was only one other occupied table. By the time we left, the restaurant had filled up with several larger groups, yet the service and attention to us, was consistent. Every dish came out hot and savory, the hostess and waiter remained attentive throughout our meal, our water glasses were never empty, and the overall hospitality was excellent. Including drinks, the lobster upgrade, tax, and tip, our total came to about $175 for two people. Considering the quality of the food, generous portions, drinks, and outstanding service, I thought it was well worth it. I would definitely come back.

L also got the warm lobster roll and we got 4 margaritas/martini. Service was great. Refilled our water, dumped our shells, etc. We got it with garlic butter with medium spice. Very flavorful. Everything was really good. Potatoes and corn were so tasty in the butter sauce. The lobster was easy to break open with all the tools. I came here for seafood cuz I went to another restaurant and they had these huge mussels that didn't taste that great so I'm so glad Aqua Boil has the smaller mussels. Music wasn't loud and HH is 4-6pm, drinks were a great deal. Next time I'll try their reg cocktails. Lobster roll was great too. Very buttery. We were just eating the lobster meat by itself. We did eat the bun after. L was pretty full or he would've gotten the cold lobster roll. I prob could've eaten the rest of the crabs but I took it home and we also ordered another lb of shrimp to go. I have to come back and try the other items. We really liked the food. We haven't been to a seafood boil in a while.. I mean seafood with butter.. that's just so good.

Known for what many consider some of NYC's best gumbo, Filé also serves fried catfish, jambalaya, char-grilled oysters, beignets, and an extensive cocktail selection. On my most recent visit, we arrived at 3 p.m. and ordered from the prix-fixe lunch menu. An added bonus was being able to take advantage of happy-hour pricing on drinks and appetizers--a great combination that made an already appealing lunch even better. Filé Gumbo Bar opened its doors in Tribeca in 2022, bringing a distinctly Louisiana sensibility to downtown Manhattan. The restaurant showcases Cajun and Creole classics prepared right at the bar, built around slow-cooked, flavor-packed roux and a choice of proteins. The gumbo is simmered and finished in a steam kettle, making the cooking process part of the dining experience. I usually take a seat at the bar, where I can watch the chefs work their magic at the restaurant's intricate custom steam-kettle cooking station. Individual bowls of gumbo and jambalaya are cooked and finished right in front of you. There's something almost theatrical about watching the process as the aromas of roux, sausage, seafood, and spices fill the room. The décor reinforces the New Orleans connection without becoming kitschy. Mustard-yellow leather banquettes, stamped-tin ceilings, and whitewashed brick walls create a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of Southern charm. Even the bread has a Louisiana connection: it is shipped directly from Leidenheimer Baking Company, the legendary New Orleans bakery whose French bread is a local institution. For anyone missing the Crescent City--or simply looking for a memorable taste of Louisiana in Manhattan--Filé Gumbo Bar is well worth a visit.

My friend ordered the blackened swordfish and was told there was no more( we got there at 5:30) so they gave catfish instead. The caramel cornbread was tooo sweet and the caramel was burnt so I didn't eat it. I got to watch then make the gumbo since I sat at the bar and it was semi entertaining.
