Easily has become my favorite oyster bar. 1.5 hrs of oysters & mini martinis. That's all I need. read more

Left an extremely sour taste in my mouth - what kind of business offers "$1 oysters all night long on mondays" and then says after 1 round we are out of them - and meanwhile others are being served oysters still? It feels incredibly scummy to pull a bait and switch in 2026! This is diabolical behavior for a New York restaurant - disappointed! Very bad! read more

Who dozen love a 7-day happy hour oyster spot? We sampled all of the oysters on their menu, and they were freshly shucked, plump, and delicious. We ended up ordering four dozen! In addition to oysters, they offer a great selection of drinks and other entrees. By around 6 p.m., the place was already packed, which shows how popular it is. Despite the crowd, our server checked on us often and provided attentive service. Overall, a great spot for oyster lovers. Wasn't a big fan on the other items on the menu, but will definitely be back for more oysters ! read more

Stopped by for restaurant week. The space is long and narrow. They have a very strong happy hour- scored some $1 blue point oysters. Cocktails were good. Our waitress was lovely. The food was very good. The crispy river with tuna was really good. The calamari was crisp. The barramundi was really good. We coughed up the upcharge for the lobster curry. The curry was excellent. The lobster was unremarkable. This dish would work as well or better and at a lower price with shrimp. We were surprised that rice wasn't included and had to be ordered separately. The cookie and ice cream was good. The cheesecake was OK. Great spot for restaurant week and happy hour. read more

Crave Fishbar - Happy Hour menu - Seafood Near Me - New York, New York

Crave is participating in Restaurant Week; prefixe 3 course meal for $60. Happy Hour lasts until 7pm which includes tiny tinis and oysters along with other small plates at discounted prices. The blue point oysters were $1 each and they were so good we got a few rounds of oysters. For RW we each got one appetizer: spicy tuna crispy rice and warm crab sushi. The warm crab wasn't like a tempura but the wrapping was toasted/seared on the outside, and although it was tasty the soy sauce was overly salty, my friend and I agreed it did need some sort of sauce aside from the soy. For entrees I got the stripped sea bass fillet over some asparagus and it was seasoned to perfection, perfectly balanced with some miso honey soy glaze, my friend opted for the black squid ink seafood pasta which was very tasty as well and flavorful. The reason I have a 4/5 was bc certain dishes were missing something to make it a wow factor for me. The dessert cranberry orange bourbon cheesecake was alright, the crust was a bit too grainy/sandy for my liking and the cranberry skins in the compote were annoying as I kept taking them out during each bite. Would I come back yes of course, the HH alone is worth it. It was a quiet Wednesday and the service was great, always coming to check in and would offer to get us another round of HH drinks and posters before the 7pm cut off. The place is big but still comfy cozy, dimly lite but not the point that you couldn't read off the menu. read more

Where do I start?!?! The space is beautiful, the service is great and extremely friendly and the food was on pointe. We had: - Seared Tuna - Perfect! I got it with the curry sauce on the side and honestly it didn't need the sauce (which was also very good). - Roasted Salmon - delicious - Za'atar Cauliflower with Tahini - delicious - Carrot Cake from Magnolia - very good Overall we had a great meal and can't wait to come back. read more

Crave Fishbar - Seafood Near Me - New York, New York

New upper east side location of the Crave Fishbar family which has a few other locations across the city. TLDR - vibes + service both 5 stars. Food 4. Overall very enjoyable meal and would go back again. The food was good, but not mindblowingly great. Menu is a mix of your fishbar favs (i.e. some sushi rolls, some raw bar, fish-forward entrees etc). Started with the octopus and warm crab sushi roll. Octopus was a hard 10. Possibly the best grilled octopus I've ever had. Octopus is very easy to get wrong but this one was perfectly tender, not at all fishy, wonderfully cooked and perfectly paired with surrounding accoutrements. Best thing we had by far. Warm crab roll was disappointing. A lot of rice and the crab itself definitely got lost in there. Not a big fan of the ghee and resulting greasiness of the roll. Others may care for the flavor profile more than we did. But again, flavor aside, the crab was really overpowered by too much rice. Entrees were good but not great. I got the seared tuna which was served over a Mexican street corn style corn + potato mixture. The tuna was fresh but i wasn't the biggest fan of the pairing. The corn tasted good but there was too much of it and it was a bit sloppy for a more refined seared tuna. The potatoes were good but became soggy and overpowered by the wet corn. Nothing tasted bad but just not the most optimal preparation IMO. My wife got a fusili dish which was tasty for sure. Food aside - vibes were great. Really nicely designed space with the right mix of hip and coziness. Service was a highlight too. Shout out to EVE who was our server and couldn't have been more lovely. Happy to be there, answered all our questions passionately and was by our table all night. Reminder that good service is not lost and makes such a big difference. Good meal overall. We'll return.

If you are craving good food, this is a good spot for you. The salmon tostada is really good. Very fresh tasting and a nice kick of flavor at the end. 5/5 Bridgette is amazing behind the bar. Talk about service with a smile. She has only been a bartender for less than a year but it doesn't show. She has raw talent and will go far in this line of work. The asparagus here is a MUST!!! It tastes better than any normal side and really elevates the pallet. 10/10 The vibes here are that of a wine bar with bottles on display behind the bar. The "Handmade Spicy Squid Ink Spaghetti" almost made me break my diet. It smells incredible and looks AMAZING. My nose doesn't lie so I would give that a perfect score. I will be dreaming about that tonight. 10/10 would recommend. I would highly recommend this place for all you foodies out there. read more

Heard that Crave Fishbar opened another location in the UES so I stopped by for their happy hour. Only oysters and some drinks were cheaper during their happy hour so overall it was still pricey, but I still enjoyed my time. Started off with some of their apps: -Salmon sashimi tostada: the salmon was fresh and well-seasoned, while the tostada shell remained crunchy. -Calamari: fried calamari pieces were mixed with a mayo sauce, paired with additional herbs and bean sprouts. I like how it was well-seasoned overall, and the herbs provided a refreshing mix, but not sure if the mayo really added anything. -Fish taco: The fish was fried nicely with a light batter. The ratio of sauce to veggies to meat was solid. Tortilla was soft. I enjoyed the taco as a whole but thought it could use a little more seasoning. Also thought it was supposed to be spicy per the menu? -Oysters: I'm not a big oyster person but my partner said they were all really fresh. We also tried the crab sushi roll - you can't go wrong with seafood and rice, but really surprised was that hidden basil leaf that provides a sweet herby taste to the crab meat. Drinks were also good! You can get your margs spicy or regular. Appreciate how it wasn't too sweet or too sour. Service was fine. The staff checked in with us frequently but wasn't super warm. While we understand it takes a while to shuck oysters after receiving several orders, our oysters took at least 30-40 mins, and interestingly other parties who arrived later than us got their oysters first thing before our apps even came. The store itself gave off intimate vibes and was pretty spacious with high top tables and bar seating. read more

We popped in for some cheeky oysters on Saturday night, glad we did. 6:30pm and the place was busy, bar had space but we picked a high top. We were happy to see a great oyster selection, 3 west coast which is what we came for. 18 tasty little beasts went down quickly and we went for 12 more, staff were excellent and oysters perfectly chucked and the accompaniments' really nice. Nice treat! read more

First time dining at Crave last night and I'm already planning my next visit. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the ambiance is cozy and comfortable. My server, Cami, was a delight and she knew the whole menu front to back- a rarity in restaurants these days. The manager, Heather, was an absolute gem! She overheard me say it was my first time there and came right over and introduced herself. She even checked on me throughout my dinner! I started with oysters (recommended by Heather) which were honestly the best I've ever had in my life! Not to mention the oyster slider which was equally amazing!! I had the linguine and clams for my entree and absolutely loved it! The whole experience was top notch and so incredibly craveable!!! This is my new spot! read more

By far my favorite location I've been too. They opened fairly recently. I think we went on opening weekend with a couple friends. Our server was great, things were a little slow but it was their first weekend open. They have a good sake list, our favorite brand was a bottle they offer. The martini I had was great. Oysters were well shucked, and tasty. They had a large selection to choose from. The lobster roll was great and all of my friends were happy with their food. I will be back. read more

Great dining experience, very swanky settings (we had a cozy corner view of the kitchen, and the ambiance is what I'd call "smooth jazz on a Friday night". The food was excellent and we had a great waitress who was gracious and patient. read more

Food was good, I didnt realize we were dining in a sustainable seafood restaurant until we got the sushi with the soy wrap instead of the seaweed. It made sense. The wrap reminded me of dashi but overall pretty pleasant in adjunct to the tuna. Oysters with caviar were delicious! Fresh and a little bit on the pricey side. Fish tacos were out favorite--the fish was fresh. Service was good. read more

I will definitely be back for more. read more

Great seafood restaurant, lots of specials and great oysters. Casual East Coast style. We had a great server, Evelyn (or maybe Eve) - Professional, helpful and just plain nice. read more

Writing review after my second visit. This is a really good addition to this neighbourhood. The seafood is excellent. I've tried the squid ink pasta and the lobster Thai curry, both of which were fantastic and I would order again. Also good cocktails. Service was friendly and attentive. Main area has tables and booths and back area is less structured and has tables that can be moved around more. Worth trying if you haven't already. read more

Excellent service this evening per usual. Dinner was great too. Thank you Crave waiters for being so friendly and professional always.

On Sunday it turns out Oyster HH ends at 6 and not 6:30. Website does not say. We got there at 6:08. Seeing others with platters of oysters was not cool so we left. Website needs to be updated! read more

Food is ok. Cocktails are average. Staff not so friendly. This review is from experience a month ago.

The food was delicious. I had really thick piece of Salmon that was grilled to perfection and the exact shade of pink that I asked for. It came with Ratatouille on the plate, which complemented the Salmon perfectly. However the place is extremely noisy, making it difficult to stay focused on conversations with people in my dining party. read more

Excited to try this new location! The space is cute and modern. The happy hour is great, with delicious cocktails and incredibly fresh oysters! I love that they include grapefruit as well as lemons for the citrus. Always yummy and a little different from a lot of spots. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Our waitress helped us with a great selection of oysters based on our preferences. The service was a little slow, and we did have to chase down someone for a second round of drinks. Could just be related to growing pains since they haven't been open very long, and it didn't impact our overall experience! read more
