    I've found a new home

    This place rocks, & def encouraging people to come for lunch (that's me!) w/ awesome lunch specials AND daily specials - too much good food ! Very clean inside, friendly service, & their soups hit the spot on a cold day. Super fresh & delicious lobster, & real great fra diavolo sauce.

    Greek salad with grilled shrimp.

    My Mother was in the mood for a seafood lunch. I didn't want to drive to City Island and based on the recommendations of friends I decided to come here. We got here about 2pm, they have indoor and outdoor seating, we decided to eat indoors. There were only two other people there so we didn't have to wait for to be seated. The restaurant's was quiet, there was music in the background creating a nice ambiance. The food was delicious! The salads are huge, large enough for two people! The food arrived fast, hot and in a timely manner. Our server Beverly was very nice and pleasant.

    Just tried this place for the 1st time yesterday 2/11/18 a rainy Sunday afternoon ...... Me n the wife were in the mood for some seafood after a visit at the hospital ..... We have passed this place for years and never stopped in until yesterday !!! The place was very clean n neat looking; we were greeted with friendly and smiling faces ..... We started off with the Lobster Bisque Soup which did not cut it for me; seems like they use shrimp cut up into tiny pieces n very few chunks of lobster !! The wife enjoyed it though there was hardly any lobster in it !! But we both agreed the soup itself was not of a lobster bisque base it was creamy n tasted like a standard creamy soup base needs work !!! Then we ordered a large order of baked clams; I heard of little necks but theses were micro mini little necks... now I know why they have a baked clam menu on the wall for 20, 40, 60 people !!! Honestly very small !!! Then we ordered the Oysters Rockefeller they were good we enjoyed them; probably should have skipped the soup n backed clams n just ordered four orders of the Oysters Rockefeller !!! We were still hungry looking over the big menu but we decided to get the check !! $ 55.00 without the tip !!!! In my opinion the place needs a real seafood chef !! Or maybe we are spoiled because we live in Howard Beach and we are truly blessed to have Lennys Clam Bar !!! Need to say we stopped at Royal Crown before we hit the bridge and split an order of Penne ala vodka n Eggplant Parm.... Now this place is always on point n never disappoints!! John you keep up the good work !!! Hands on always !!!

    Thursday's are $1 oysters. This place has been here for as long as I can remember. Seafood is fresh , simply prepared and never disappointing. Parking lot is a little tight so park on street if you have a long vehicle. Nice little bar area with 4 seats and about 15 -20 tables spread out for dining . Market pricing is fair and service is good . Our waitress was very attentive to our needs . We had plenty of drinks , napkins and food . I ordered a dozen oysters, fresh and served with lemon slices and cocktail sauce. Girlfriend had the mussels in sweet red sauce , very good smooth consistency in the sauce . I had the broiled flounder - 2 filets were cooked perfectly in a buttery wine sauce - superb. Both dishes were piping hot . Small crowd was there everyone seemed enjoying themselves . A very local Staten Island crowd.

    Order this through door dash. It was suppose to be stuffed shrimp.

    This was supposed to be stuffed shrimp. It looks like dog food with the texture of wet cat food and a slice of lemon. Not what you would expect for 25 dollars. As far as taste it taste like lemon flavored butter with a hint of seafood. Only good side is the fries that came on the side is edible

    I came back after 5 years and ordered lobster bisque (perfect) and the stuffed appetizer with 3 clams, 3 mussels and 3 shrimp. I usually go to the other LHJ l; when I got my dish I was stunned. The shrimp were the size of shrimp you might use in shrimp salad and the stuffing was barely there. I asked for an additional small portion of stuffing because this dish was nothing compared to the other LHJ. BUMMER

    Stuffed lobster brought to my hospital room for my birthday. What a treat.

    Interior design is so aesthetically pretty and provides a wonderful and elegant dining experience!…read moreThe service provided by Behrouz was attentive, friendly, and warm, which definitely helped enhance the dining experience! Now onto the main topic, the food: This is by far one of the better middle eastern/seafood restaurant in all of Staten Island! The appetizers that were amazing were the chargrilled octopus, which is a MUST-GET, and the half dozen oysters which was by far one of the sweetest oysters we ever had (it was so good we ordered 3 orders!) The tuna tartare, calamari, and lobster bisque were all decent but nothing too special. For entree, the lobster pasta was perhaps one of the best tomato based pasta I ever had! Although the amount of lobster in the dish was on the smaller amount for its price, the flavor was so savory, sweet, and perfectly tangy, highly recommend it! The sea bass was good according to my family, but the flavor was on the milder side in my opinion; they liked it nonetheless so perhaps it's just a personal preference at this point. The lamb shank I would not get due to how overpowering it was; the sauce was salty and intense, where it overwhelmed every part of the dish. It was unfortunate because the lamb was so tender and had a nice proportion between its meatiness and its fat content. The dry aged steak was only okay too, since the spinach was so watery it soaked the steak in its liquid (as you can see from the photo), which detracted from the dish unfortunately. Overall it was a decent dining experience, where some were amazing and others were less so. It's a pricey dining experience but if you get all the right dishes, it's worth the price tag! Definitely recommend giving Sea Bar a try and I can't wait to come back again one day to give them the five stars I know they can definitely accomplish! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

    Sas efcharistó, this cute Greek vibe was a hit, came for my birthday dinner close to closing and…read morethe waiter BEHROUZ treated us like gold. all his recommendations were excellent (they have an amazing $50 prefix menu great with options). They offered hummus and bread--super fresh. Ohhh, Get the lobster bisque it had the biggest pieces of lobster I've ever seen in lobster bisque!!! The calamari were cooked to perfection. They had the grilled watermelon salad and beets apps also delicious . Bronzino that was given was a hearty amount. The drinks were on point. They sang happy birthday and even though the kitchen was closed they made sure we didn't feel rushed or pressured. Can't wait to come try more and to get the soup again. See you there

    The endless menu was fantastic! It was so much food (you can have up to 3 orders of hot and cold…read moreapps) Dont eat too much pita bread, save room. The grilled octopus and shrimp were my favorites. By the time your entree comes you are full. Branzino was excellent. Cheesecake was light and fluffy, not dense. And the waiter and waitress were super nice, pleasant, and attentive. Definitely going back. Note: the shrimp ceviche was too tangy.

    First time to this fairly new establishment. Greeted warmly by staff…read more -for the table -roasted red pepper dip with walnuts which was one of my favorite things served with warm cut up pita bread which wasn't enough for the pepper dip and the mezze so you have to keep asking for more bread. Maybe serve whole pieces of pita? - cold appetizer - Mezze trio of eggplant salad , one of the most amazing tzatzikis I've ever had, and hummus. The eggplant salad tasted a little bitter to me. - my main was whole fried snapper. Nice and crunchy but a little bland. Small side salad also was a little bitter tasting. Lemon potatoes were a little disappointing. They could be a little more lemony. - friend had baked cod with potatoes and seasonal veggies. Desert was written on menu as strawberry crème brûlée but it was actually regular crème brûlée with small slices of strawberries on the edge. It was delicious. There has been a surge of Mediterranean restaurants opening in Staten Island and there is a lot of competition. There's a small parking lot in the rear so that helps since New Dorp is tight. Service was excellent. Clean restroom. Glad to see a large crowd dining on a Friday evening.
