The food also came out surprisingly quickly, especially for an AYCE restaurant with a time limit. We didn't get many pictures because we were too busy eating, but the salt and pepper lobster was easily our favorite dish. The Old Bay snow crab was also delicious. The claws were a bit spicy for me, but if you like spice it's a great flavor. Definitely come with an appetite! The decor is fun and nautical themed and the bathrooms are great - super clean and nice.

Fish Market on South Street feels like a hidden speakeasy you're lucky to stumble into! intimate,…read moreenergetic, and full of personality. The space has that unpolished charm that makes you want to stay; sports on the screens, a lively crowd, and a sense that everyone somehow knows each other. It's the kind of place that doesn't try too hard, and that's exactly why it works. What truly makes it special are the people. John and Jeff (the bar owner) are incredible! genuine, welcoming, and effortlessly create that feeling of being taken care of. And then there's the food. The chef is Malaysian, (mama's recipe) and you can taste that depth immediately; rich, layered flavors with a comforting, almost home cooked quality. The ginger wings are addictive, and even a simple dish feels thoughtfully done. Jeff mentioned I need to come back for the laksa, which I will. It's not polished, it's not formal and that's exactly the magic. A true neighborhood gem with soul.

It's a 4-course menu and everything was so filling and satisfying. The lobster was juicy and delicious! The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning and has such a fun, elevated atmosphere.

If you're looking for a fun dining experience in Times Square with plenty of food and a beautiful setting, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out!

Crab House Times Square is truly the most beautiful seafood dining restaurant in NYC! From the…read moreelegant interior to the warm atmosphere, everything made the experience feel special. We ordered the $129 Grand Lobster Emperor Tasting, and every course was delicious. The lobster trio was the highlight--especially the butter-poached lobster and Lobster Thermidor. We also loved the lobster bisque, Oyster Rockefeller, baked scallops, garlic butter shrimp scampi, crispy seabass, and the rich lobster mac & cheese. The portions were generous, and every dish was fresh and beautifully presented. A special thank you to Eli for the outstanding service! Eli was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had a wonderful dining experience from beginning to end. If you're looking for a premium seafood experience in Times Square, I highly recommend Crab House. We'll definitely be back!

I loved and highly recommend the raw oysters and raw little neck clams (happy hour special before 6!) and the fettuccine with fungi (or maybe it was tagliatelle). The seafood pappardelle was also good, which my husband slightly preferred, though it had a little spice to it. The pastas were a tad heavy with the cream in the sauce but I still enjoyed them. Entrees did take a while to come out (almost 30 min) but we were seated outdoors enjoying the fresh air and didn't mind. A great spot if you're in the neighborhood?

I finally brought my nephew here so he could try their 2 lb. steamed lobster, and it was just as…read moredelicious as I remembered. I've been coming here for years, and the quality of the food continues to keep me coming back. During this visit, I ran into a recurring issue with my lobster. It was carrying a large amount of roe, which I was actually happy about because I enjoy it and didn't want any of it to go to waste. However, the roe deep inside wasn't fully cooked during the initial steaming process. I had to go back and forth with Ash and the kitchen staff several times, but they remained patient, attentive, and committed to making sure everything was cooked properly. Ash, one of the managers, provided excellent customer service throughout the experience. While I was waiting, he kindly offered me a complimentary cup of New England clam chowder, which was absolutely delicious and very much appreciated since I was starving. Before leaving, I also ordered two more 2 lb. steamed lobsters to go. I explained my concern, and the staff made sure they were thoroughly cooked before packaging them. Both were perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. I truly appreciate the team's dedication to customer satisfaction and their willingness to make things right. Their excellent service, combined with consistently great seafood, is why I've remained a loyal customer for years. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back. Thank you!

Yanny took care of my table and he was excellent! genuinely one of the best servers I've had in the city. Everything moved at the right pace. Courses came out exactly when they should have, nothing sat waiting, and my water and drink were never empty. He checked in at the right moments and then let me enjoy the meal instead of hovering. Every question I had about the menu got a real answer, and anything I asked for showed up quickly. What stood out most was the attention to detail! he noticed the small things before I had to ask, and it made the whole meal feel effortless. That kind of service is a skill, and Yanny clearly has it. If you're eating here, ask for him.

Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

It's better than it needs to be, which in this neighborhood counts for a lot. The room is the star. Brass, smoked mirrors, marble, wallpaper with burlesque dancers, very Gatsby cosplay but done with actual money. Think the Campbell at Grand Central, minus the $28 martini attitude. It's also LOUD downstairs. Ask for upstairs if you want to hear your date. Gin is the program here and they take it seriously, house-infused bottles paired with specific tonics, not an afterthought. My G&T was legitimately well built. Food from chef JC Colón is better than cocktail-bar standard: truffle fries in duck fat are worth it, the lobster mac at $31 is rich and fine but you've had it before. Skip dessert. The steak frites at $48 is where I'd tap out, that's real-restaurant money for bar food execution. Here's the move though: weekday happy hour, 4 to 7. Dollar oysters and $13 cocktails in a room this pretty is one of the best deals in Midtown, full stop. Service was warm and fast even slammed. Not a destination, but if you're near Bryant Park or seeing a show, this beats everything else within five blocks. Book ahead, walk-ins were getting turned away by 5:30.
