    We've had better! We usually go to hook and reels but wanted to try something different. Why did we do that? The sauces were not that good. The garlic bread is covered in garlic and parm cheese. I requested head off and got head on but couldn't eat it because it wasn't clean (if you know you know). The capri drinks were okay and probably the best part of the meal. I'm no longer a fan.

    Grilled oyster - happy hour
    Benjamin C.

    Went out for a date night on a rainy Wednesday evening for some Cajun! Service was friendly and attentive. Pretty casual setting. Ordered the grilled oysters, deviled eggs, crawfish queso, and large seafood gumbo to eat. They had one beer option - bottle of Stella - $5 happy hour, and spouse chose the bayou mamba adult capri sun, which she enjoyed. I'd say this place surpassed some modest expectations. I'd definitely go again for the queso and gumbo! Oysters were good. Eggs were enjoyable but nothing special. A pleasant surprise! Good to have the option relatively close to home.

    Overall I like Claw Daddy's but idk what happened with my delivery order. From grub hub I got the seafood file gumbo, creole jambalaya and an order of southern chicken wings. My issue was with the wings. No flavor and I didn't like seeing the feathers on the wings. Yuck.

    I went to Claw Daddy's with a friend for an early dinner, and we enjoyed the food overall! The boudin balls and popcorn crawfish were delicious, and I tried the freshly shucked oysters, which were decent but not standout. The adult Capri Sun (an alcoholic drink in a pouch) was fun, and my friend liked his gumbo and a beer. The space is large and comfortable, though the service was just okay. As someone with family in Southern Louisiana, I think Claw Daddy's is one of the better southern spots in the area, but it could use a bit more authentic Southern hospitality. Little touches like checking in more often, a warm greeting, or complimentary small bites (like hush puppies) would definitely enhance authentic southern experience and help keep customers engaged and returning for more.

    Love their grilled oysters. The lobster combo boil is amazing. Make sure you get the adult capris.

    Great happy hour spot by a lot of different train stations on Atlantic avenue. The drinks are soju based only, which we didn't know. I had one pouch and felt surprisingly buzzed. We shared the chicken wings which were crispy and very seasoned. The raw oysters were good. I would probably get more raw oysters than the grilled ones. The grilled clams were better than the grilled oysters as well. The sweet potato fries were thick and crunchy. I would come back again.

    Had no problem walking in without an rsvp and being seated around 8pm on a Saturday. Service was slow for a Saturday night and the boil was tasty but something was missing to give it that UMPH factor. I got a coconut pineapple mojito in a pouch which was just "ehh" tasted more like juice and had a lot of ice in it.

    We came here one day to try their happy hour at extremely low prices! Upon entering it was quite busy so they sat us in the back near the bar which was a lot more quieter than the front. We paid $1.50 for each oyster and $2 for the grilled ones and $1 per chicken wings! Since I was on an alcohol cleanse I ordered the Louisiana unsweetened tea but it was quite expensive and only for a normal iced tea... I felt like I'm definitely gonna pass on this one next time. It was strong enough but I could probably make this at home, ngl. The oysters were fresh and tasted fine... the real winner of this place is actually the grilled oysters. Those were worth every penny! Along with the chicken wings! The chicken wings were super crispy but not in a thick breaded way which is exactly what I like! Since I live super close to this place I would totally come back again to try their other dishes but I really love how affordable the happy hour is so I would probably come just for the grilled oysters and the chicken wings and definitely for a drink next time when I'm off my alcohol cleanse!

    Happy hour is the main reason why we stopped here. $1.50 oysters and $1 wings sounded like a steal and the taste was pretty good. The boil sauce was very good and everything was tasty. I would say they should probably add a waiter or two, as it did look like only 2 waiters were on staff.

    We went to Claw Daddy's to celebrate a birthday. Ambiance: I want to start out by saying that their music playlist is fire. Lol. The place has two areas, one for sitting down to eat and the other is the bar area. The ambiance in the sitting area is comfortable enough for families and friends to enjoy. Food: the food was ok, it wasn't out of the ballpark good, but it was good enough that I wouldn't mind going back for happy hour oysters and drinks. The service was ok as well. They were very nice but they were not on top of their game. They forgot a few things, we had to let them know a few times, and in the end we just took the "L" and ate the boil without the nutcracker (I googled it...the tool to crack lobster and crab is known as a nutcracker...lol). Overall, I think the experience was ok. It's good for families but the prices are typical nyc prices on the high side. So I recommend it to people who want a quick bite and drinks for happy hour.

    I thoroughly enjoy eating at Claw Daddy's. My cousin put me on to this place because of the grilled oysters! That's the ONLY way I'll eat them now!

    Southern Chicken Wings

    I had high expectations for this place as I've been wanting to try it for a while. We came for their happy hour, which online says it's all day on Tuesday and until 7:30 on all other days. However, when we arrived on a Tuesday, it seems like they changed their policies and it did indeed end on 7:30. We ordered the raw oysters, the wings, and the grilled clams. The food took quite a while to come out, so we weren't able to order more before the happy hour ended. The raw oysters were probably the worst oysters I've ever had. They were between room temperature and warm, despite being on a bed of ice so I'm guessing they were sitting out for a while. With one taste, I knew these were definitely not fresh. They were very fishy and tasted old. Some of them also looked a bit strange. My friend and I were genuinely worried that we'd get food poisoning from them. The grilled clams were slightly better, but still quite small for what you get. They were covered in a butter Parmesan sauce, but I wish they were saucier and juicier. They were pretty average in my opinion. The redeeming part of the meal were the wings, as they were perfectly crispy and seasoned. They came with ranch sauce and they had a lot of meat on the bones and were still juicy. I wish we skipped the seafood all together and just ordered more wings. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back. The seafood was not fresh at all and I felt queasy afterwards. Not worth the risk!

    Came here right before a show at BAM for their happy hour deal, which is absolutely excellent! $1.50 for oysters, $2 for grilled oysters and $1 chicken wings (which we didn't have this time) plus some drink specials too. Everything tasted fresh and delicious - I'm not usually a fan of grilled oysters but I felt like I could eat a dozen of these on my own. We also got a lobster roll and cajun fries, both of which I remember fondly. The staff seemed a little overwhelmed (maybe there weren't enough of them for the night?) but they still got our food out, joked around a bit with us, and rushed our last dish to us in a takeout container when we told them we really needed to make our show. Will definitely go back again when I have more time to leisurely enjoy them.

    Thank you for keeping one of the most important part of the restaurant in tact!

    I have lived in Brooklyn for 12 years, but never had dinner in Red Hook until this weekend…read more My friend was visiting, and she remembered vividly eating from the Red Hook Lobster Pound food stand in Union Square a few years ago. It made such a strong impression on my friend that she demanded we eat at this restaurant. The restaurant was packed, but we managed to get a spot at the bar and watch the Mets game. The food was immaculate, and we ordered the Hot Crab Dip, Garlic Biscuits, and I ordered "The Connecticut."

It's got a solid, nautical feel that gives you enough brass and wood to feel like a real lobster shack. They've got a generous stretch of outdoor seating for when the weather is nice, and inside, the music sits at a good volume. Then comes the food. I started with the clam chowder. It's good ...comforting, rich, well-made ......even if it's a little light on the minced clams. I caught myself digging around with my spoon, searching for a few more chunks of clam in the creamy broth, but I forgave it because the flavor was fantastic. Main event: the Maine lobster roll. Now look, I've eaten lobster rolls all over the Northeast..and a few other places. When you order a lobster roll, you're looking for flavor and simplicity. Red Hook's roll is good. The lobster is fresh. But here's the thing: at an overall tab running around $80 a head, you expect a top-tier entry into the culinary lobster roll pantheon. Instead, it lands on the smaller side of the spectrum. Worse, the kitchen holds back on the seasoning. Lobster is sweet and rich, sure, but it needs a little help...... a hint of herbs, or just a generous hand with the salt/pepper to elevate it from good to great. It's a good roll, but when the check landed, I couldn't help feeling a bit let down. To finish, I looked at the dessert choices. Options were slim, but I ordered the flourless chocolate cake and it did the job. I'll definitely give this place a second visit and possibly try some of the other items on their menu.

I told our server this when she asked if it was our first time dining here and she found it similarly puzzling. That said, this sentiment is one rarely expressed these days, as Saint Julivert's longevity puts it in what I'd imagine to be an exclusive, highly coveted class of restaurants that have stood the test of time in the face of changing trends, the pandemic, rent, etc. And perhaps more importantly, it has stood the test of time *and* maintained its high level of execution and quality. Saint Julivert is a neighborhood spot as memorable as it is unassuming. We came here at around 7:30pm on a Saturday night. I live quite far from Saint Julivert which is the main reason I hadn't gotten here before this past weekend. Luckily, a friend who recently moved to the area was having a party, describing the offered fare as "drinks and light bites" -- code for "not sufficient for dinner" and an opportunity to find a fun restaurant nearby to try beforehand. Walking up to Saint Julivert was a bit of a thrill for me -- both because of how long it's been on my radar and also because it's nestled on a block that otherwise seems completely residential. The space itself is much smaller than I imagined, very cozy, friendly, and down to earth. We had, in my opinion, one of the best seats in the house, which was a pair of high tops by the kitchen with loads of space for folks (read: us) who like to order a bunch of smaller plates to share. To start, we got a round of cocktails. I had to go with the Kanpai Martini (vodka, gin, shochu, cap corse, guindilla), as I pretty much always start with the martini if one is featured on the cocktail menu, and my partner got the Puerto Escondido (mezcal, beet, grapefruit, jalapeño) which is a super tasty spicy mezcal marg variation. I then tried the Diamond District (mezcal, persimmon liqueur, cocchi americano) which is a variation of one of my other go-to drinks, a white mezcal negroni. No complaints here. Food-wise, we obviously leaned into the seafood here heavily. Tried to sample as much variety as possible and I'd say we did a pretty impressive job. We weren't able to finish everything but we tried our very best. Truly everything was exceptional so my usual letter grades aren't all that necessary because it was As across the board. Eats, below: Amberjack w/ tomato water, crispy shallot, shiso oil Ideal first dish, definitely had some amuse bouche qualities, being both light and bright. The fish was incredibly fresh and the concept overall with sophisticated with use of texture and flavor that was impressive in its subtlety and execution. Chicory Salad w/ blue cheese, walnut, persimmon, coffee cider vinaigrette Our one veggie of the night and it was well worth our while, fresh winter greens with that tried and true blue cheese/walnut combo made unique by the coffee cider vinaigrette which emphasized the sweet and earthy notes of the dish and brought everything together beauitfully. Wild Shrimp w/ salted kumquat, poblano pepper, pomelo If I had to give an award to most unique of the night, it would have to go to this dish. I've had a dizzying amount of seafood over the years and I've been lucky enough try to a lot of different types of things in a lot of different types of ways and this one stands out. Something about the flavor and texture of the mostly-raw shrimp with the delicate and aromatic citrus elements. Just impossibly fresh, bright, and delicious. Octopus w/ pipián verde, roasted tomatillo juice, cucumber, serrano A preparation I'm used to seeing served warm but I enjoyed it cold just the same. The overall flavor profile was predictable but the elements contributing to it were less so. The green mole was delicious and overall this dish was a perfect bridge between the lighter and the richer, a segue so perfect it was as if it was divinely ordained. Squid a la Plancha w/ pine nut, maitake mushroom, tinta, poblano The first of two warm dishes we ordered. A nice complement to some of the lighter dishes we had earlier in the meal that were more aromatic/vegetal/gardenia vibes, this dish was earthier, more umami and grounding. Jerked Hamachi Collar w/ mango-pickle mayo, lime Hard to finish with this because it was probably the richest of the dishes and we were already somewhat full by this point, but I ate as much as I could because it was just that good. The mango-pickle mayo was just sublime, the fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned beautifully -- altogether a playful and powerful way to end the meal.

See photo below! We ordered some other items and the waitress gave me my bill for $252.86. We then drove 10 blocks to Chase to get out cash for her. I then noticed that I was charged $298.86. It was the $252.86 plus a TIP of $45.20! I immediately returned to discuss the discrepancies. The tip that was supposed to be $38 was now $45.20! The waitress then said she would credit my account. My question was how did this happen! All three waitresses stated it was not them and that the machine did this! How was this possible? Not one of them took responsibility for the discrepancies! Had I not looked at my bank statement then I would never have known that I would be tipping her twice! I then decided to leave to explain to my mom! Then the short Indian (I think) than sarcastically stated "Oh so now you're not going to tip us" Really! I drove 10 blocks and I NEVER ONCE STATED THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO TIP HER! I merely was going to let my mom know what happened and then TIP her! Note* I was going to give her a $100 cash TIP! Had she given me the REAL receipt with the $45 TIP then I would have given her $50 CASH but since she only produced the REAL receipt after I came back (how ironic) and told her she charged the wrong amount, she would have received $100 TIP. But since the short Indian waitress made that slick remark, she did not receive anything! After the disrespect and blaming the machine and giving me a fake receipt? I decided to leave! If this is how you conduct business then you just lost a great customer! PS! The food was great!

    I love a good solo date, especially on a hot summer day, but I definitely made a mistake coming…read morealone because I think I've found my new favorite restaurant. I started with the Fried Calamari, which is always an amazing classic with its crisp and flavor, but I was so excited to try the Mussel Dolma. I didn't know what to expect, so I was definitely surprised to see it was served cold. The combination of the mussel, rice, currants, and warm spices were truly immaculate and blended together seamlessly. For the main course, I ordered the Iskender Steak: a 10-ounce grilled Black Angus strip served over flatbread with brown butter, tomato sauce, and yogurt. Every single bite was rich, savory, and satisfying. I paired it with a side of their Cherry Rice, and I would've never thought to add cherries in rice... but let me tell you, this was easily my favorite dish of the night.. It added the perfect touch of sweetness to the savory rice, making every bite more elevated. To finish, I had their pistachio dessert served with a ladyfinger cookie, and it was the perfect light and creamy ending to an incredible meal. I would love to come back and order Rana's Table to get a sample of all they have to offer.If you're looking to try something beyond the usual dinner spots, Rana Fifteen absolutely deserves a spot on your list!

    My friend and I ate dinner at Rana Fifteen during a trip to Brooklyn. We went on a Friday evening…read morearound 8pm and were seated immediately without a wait. The inside of the restaurant is decorated nicely, however one of the lights above us was flickering for the entire meal which was annoying at first, but we eventually tuned it out. We both shared the Rana's Table. This was a really cool experience. This smorgasbord includes a sampling of 8 appetizers, 4 mezes, 1 entree, 1 side, and 1 dessert. For the entree we chose the Iskender Steak. For the side we got the Yogurt Potatoes. The dessert was chosen for us - some sort of pistachio mousse. All the food was good. Between the 8 appetizers and 4 mezes - some we loved, some were just ok. But a lot of that opinion is based on personal preference. If you're planning on eating here, bring your appetite and definitely consider the Rana's Table. Being able to try so many options all at once was a fun and unique experience. Service was good. Multiple staff checked in and took care of us.

    I'm lovin' the beachy vibes here at Brooklyn Crab, especially if you make it here for their happy…read morehour deals. The space is pretty big with two floors and various seating options. It's great for large parties with chill vibes that really make you feel like you're at a beach. Happy hour is from 3-6pm on weekdays and we got lucky coming here during that time. The husband enjoyed a nice, cold beer for $6 while I got the Peel N Eat Shrimp for only $10 on the HH menu. While the shrimp are on the skinny side, they were a good deal and got me pretty full. Definitely added some extra Old Bay seasoning on the shrimps. In addition, we ordered the Mac and Cheese ($12) and BKC Burger ($21) with Bacon (+$2). The Mac and cheese here are so cheesy and delicious, definitely a favorite as well. Such a great spot to hang out and enjoy some drinks and seafood. Even for my husband who doesn't eat seafood had a few options luckily. The servers were also very friendly and great vibes all around.

    Okay so I came here on the first 80 degree day of the season for the afternoon so when I say it was…read moreBUSY it was BUSY!! Regardless of the volume the outside bar had quick service on the drinks while we waited to be called for a table. It took about 1.5 hours for our table to be ready. Once seated the staff came to take our orders quick as this was a no nonsense day for them with every table full. We decided to on the Cajun seafood boil for 2 which was split between 4 people -- definitely enough food. The CRAB was out of this world some of the best dungeness crab I ever tasted. Lobster on point. I definately went to crustacean heaven. The price is hefty tho at 195. We also got the ahi tuna nachos which was a nice app and the lobster Mac and cheese. Definately coming back.

    We were able to get a reservation here for 530 on a Saturday night. The restaurant was very busy. I…read morereally liked the layout with the green tables and booths. The long mirrors on the walls made the space feel bigger and taller as well. First and foremost, I'm giving this place a 5 for the service as they really went above and beyond. It was not the occasional stop by to refill water and grab dirty plates. Our waiter provided great recommendations and offered me a small sample of a wine I had heard him recommend to another table after I had already ordered my orange wine. In terms of food, the bluefin tuna special was very fresh. We enjoyed the hush puppies and the swordfish belly. The fry basket had thin rectangularly shaped fries which were amazing. The only thing is I wish it came with more than two pieces of shrimp and two pieces of fish. The chargrilled oysters were also very good. Lastly they offered free bread pudding which was a perfect way to end the night.

    Pardon my late review... rewind to restaurant week and enjoying the company of my two sweet aunts…read more(they are lowkey baddies) and an evening dinner at Strange Delight. I selected the restaurant but was so engrossed in life, I didn't realize it was restaurant week. SD put together a really nice menu and I already knew what I wanted, which usually takes me a lot of time to decide, but the Sweet Baddies decided to order everything on the restaurant week menu for us to share! So, I am going to give a brief (real brief) of each. I'm going to start with the drinks because they were superior. I ordered a French 76, which was sublime. Raw oysters with a mignonette- good for a first time eating a raw oyster; Steamed shrimp- big, fresh and delicious; Grilled oysters- yummy but a little skimpy; Smoked trout Fish dip- my favorite and because we all loved it, we discussed replicating it at home and which brand of tinned fish was best Chinese broccoli salad- was okay; Hush puppies- the aunts liked. I'm not a fan so I skipped; Fry basket- delicious; Shrimp loaf- delicious, but not $25 delicious; There were some more dishes that were not as memorable but good. For return visit, I would definitely order drinks and smoked trout dip. Because they seem to update their menu, who knows what the main would be... Nevertheless, service was impeccable, the ambience was really chill and had a sexy vibe. although the place was full and really busy, it didn't seem that loud.
