    Buttermilk Pancakes
    Elizabeth X.

    The food was fine, but I was expecting more at their price point. The combo 3 of each signature oysters had too many toppings, which masked the taste of the oyster. The crispy sushi rice spicy tuna and shumai were good, but felt kinda crazy at the price for 4-5 pieces. The lobster Benedict and pancakes were also good, but again, felt pretty barebones for that price (highlighted by the three sad salad leaves in the lobster Benedict). The decor is gorgeous. It was relatively easy to get a reservation for 5 for brunch on a Sunday.

    Absolutely LOVE this place. Top 10 best restaurants in NYC. Atmosphere, food, staff, drinks, WONDERFUL - can't wait to be back

    We were told to come here when we are at Cha Cha Tang, I believe they are sister restaurants. We had a fantastic meal! Our table wasn't ready so we sat at the bar until it was. Staff were all friendly and gave us great service. The food was fantastic! So fresh and flavorful. We had some sashimi pieces, tuna tataki, amazingggg sea bass with lobster rigatoni. Favorite was definitely the sea bass but the salmon also had my eye, maybe next time! Really recommend Lure! Can't wait to come back

    I went for an impromptu brunch. The Service and decor were awesome. I didn't eat much so my review is for a limited tasting. The oyster deviled eggs were good no complaints there. The Maine lobster salad was okay nothing really stood out flavor Wise. Cocktail was good I forgot what it was something with cherry. Good experience would like to try dinner one day if it's still open.

    Excellent as usual... The place looks and creams screams high end bar vibes but has the hustle and bustle of a fast food restaurant. Seafood was fresh and delicious. The service was good.. however there was some opportunity there. I'll definitely be back!

    A few of my friends and I were looking to get together for some dinner and to catch up - the biggest question was, where? We first decided on a place that was new to us - and after seeing Lure Fishbar floating around on social media I thought it would be a good place to check out. That being said, I booked a table and we made plans to link up. Lure is located in SoHo, really in the thick of it in a subbasement of a building. The space is pretty large for a lower Manhattan restaurant, and the entire dining room has a nautical feel. It's meant to give off the impression that you're on a boat with the fixtures and aesthetics to match. The dining room is louder than I expected, with most of the tables and booths being in the middle of the space with a large (beverage) bar to the left and the raw bar on the back wall. The clientele is a mixed bag - families, people my age, groups of gen Z - all i various dress codes. Rarely have I seen a mix of people in a single space. It goes without saying but the menu mostly contains seafood items. They have a large raw bar selection, as well as sushi, caviar, apps, mains, a few pastas, and some sides. But first a drink - we had two round and I tried one of their cocktails each time. Both were pretty good, nothing too out of this world but solid overall. We decided to start with one of the seafood towers and a couple of apps. We went with one of the smaller towers which contained clams, oysters, crab claws, shrimp cocktail, and tuna tartare. I'm not an oyster fan, but everything else was quite tasty - they paired the seafood with a few sauces which acted as great complements. We also ordered shrimp tempura, the crab cake, and fluke crudo. All of these were solid - my favorite was the crudo due to the presentation and flavor accents; I thought the crab cake was was the weakest - it was deep fried and overall a little too heavy. For my main I went with the Branzino St. Tropez; this was a filet served on top of mashed potatoes, and spinach topped with crispy capers and finished with brown butter. The dish was fine overall - fish was cooked well though the potatoes could have been smoother; I did appreciate the balance of veg to starch. We opted for dessert, and I went with the deep-dish cookie. This was served warm and topped with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. It was just okay; they were going for that warm cookie moment but it was kinda underdone which led to it being really soggy underneath the surface. It needed to be in the oven for a little longer and then it would have been perfect. Service was fine - a little impersonal in my opinion but the food came out at a good pace which I appreciated; this seems to be a sore spot based on other reviews. Overall, we had a great time at Lure Fishbar - the food was solid, the aesthetics were fun, and the company was great. Definitely a good option for dining if you're in SoHo.

    As a former New Yorker, this establishment has been undefeated since my first visit years ago. Now, that i travel to the coty for work 4-6 times a year, it has become my go to, weather solo or with friends. Dimly lit, perfect for conversations and vibe. Knowledgeable and kind staff. Perfect execution of every dish. And the flavors are always to the max. If you love seafood, pasta, sushi, and great cocktails you cant go wrong with Lure. The sushi bar is my usual seating, but you're OK anywhere here.

    I came here early this year for Winter Restaurant Week lunch on a whim. Ambiance brought back memories from the last time I was here which was in 2009. Service was great. Food was just as good as I remembered 16 years ago. For the two course restaurant week lunch, I added a wine pairing. For my appetizer I had the rock shrimp tempura with a glass of chardonnay. For my dinner entree I had the miso salmon with a glass of Cote du Rhone. I devoured everything. Wine was generous for the food consumed. I'd like to return to indulge in their happy hour.

    Oh my oh my! The freshest fish ever, and this cookie is perfect too. It's sweet, salty, and rich. Absolutely THE date night restaurant. I can't wait to come back, and eat on an empty stomach so I can eat even more!

    Very festive for the holidays! The boat themed interior is very unique- definitely worth going below street level for. The deviled egg with a fried oyster on top may be the best bite I have ever had in an NYC restaurant. Never been to Lure, but finally got my opportunity when I met my cousins visiting from CA here. Bar area was very busy, with the restaurant having multiple dining areas including a sushi chef counter towards the back. The menu appears to be mostly "Asian" flavor profile inspired seafood with some exceptions. For entree, got the whole fried snapper which was good but honestly would probably rather just go to a Thai spot and get a snapper larb. Would come back in the future to try the sushi, since that seems like a major thing here. Saketini is strong and very botanical, so do not get if you are not into martinis!

    Totally loved the place. In the heart of soho. Great menu. Friendly staff fun ambience. Sat at the bar. Ordered burger. Mushrooms and yellow tail carpaccio. All were absolutely perfect. I cannot wait to go back. And try more places on the menu.

    Lure is the best! Lure is one of those places that is always consistent. Does it ever blow my socks off in terms of how amazing the dish was? No. But is it always very very good with zero complaints around? Yes. Service is always great with attentive servers and always friendly energy. The ambience is very cool as you feel like you're in an old ship and it's the perfect setting for a seafood dinner. Keep doing what you're doing Lure and we will keep coming back!

    Oysters

    Wow! My first experience surpassed my highest expectations. Upon walking in immediately became immersed in the nautical theme of the restaurant. From the yacht-like interior, decor and antique-like wooden walls, the ambiance set the mood for a dining experience on the sea. To complement the vibe, the service was great. The entire team was pleasant, attentive and very professional. Our server helped me navigate the menu, accommodated my food sensitivities, and made perfect wine pairing recommendations that took the meal to a new level. All other elements aside, the food alone deserves 5 stars in my opinion. I started the with a few East coast oysters and some nigiri sushi (tamago and sea eel), both of which tasted fresh, flavorful and no cocktail or soy sauce was necessary. I followed that with the slow baked turbot entree (an east coast white fish) jasmine rice and a glass of Albariño, recommended by my server. It all was delicious and left me wishing the meal would never end. Lastly, I could not pass up ordering a salmon skin sushi roll which did not disappoint. As you can probably already tell, I have nothing but good things to share. If you get the opportunity, go dine at Lure and experience it all first-hand.

One of the prices that came to mind was Redbreast 12 for $20 for a pour. I settled on Bitburger which was $10. Service was quick.

It ended up being a nice spot for a casual catch-up, though with a few mixed impressions. The space itself is cute and very much feels like a neighborhood bar. One of the things we liked most was that they have games available--we ended up playing Scrabble while waiting for our friend to arrive, which made the time go by quickly and added to the relaxed vibe. Happy hour prices are solid, and the fried pickles we shared were decent. I also had a watermelon cocktail that was refreshing and perfectly fine, if not particularly memorable. Service was a bit inconsistent. The bartender wasn't very warm or welcoming to us initially, though that changed once our friend--who is a regular--arrived. Overall, it's a comfortable spot to meet friends and hang out for a few hours, especially on a weekday like Thursday. That said, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return, but I can see why it works well as a local neighborhood hang.

Not too crowded, the wait for a pool table was about 30 minutes, enough for a quick round of shuffleboarding. The games are relatively cheap, and there's so much variety, ping pong and board games. The live jazz is really what sets this place apart from the other pool halls, starting around 7 pm with what seems like maybe the house band and I think they have guests later in the night. It's the perfect atmosphere, fun lighting, lots of grungy writing on the walls, good indie music from the 2010s before the jazz starts. Plus the spacing of the tables is good so you're not constantly bumping into other players, which is a pet peeve of mine. I'm sure it's busier later in the night but it's perfect for an early stop in the evening. Cheap drinks and good deals as well!

It's actually a legacy spot in disguise. This basement used to house Fat Cat, a longtime West Village institution that shut down right before the pandemic, and before that the room itself was a bowling alley, tucked into a 1932 Art Deco building a few steps from Stonewall. Drink selection isn't the draw here, don't come expecting a deep cocktail list. Crowd skews heavily undergrad, and the place is loud, so it's not the spot for an intimate one-on-one or a real group conversation. It's built for a different kind of hang: elbow your way to a table, keep your hands busy, let the noise do the rest. There's also live jazz most nights, which adds a nice layer if you catch it at the right time. Neat place, just know what you're walking into.

Based on the quality, the prices are high, even for the neighborhood.

It's near other stuff we like, and the music and vibes were that good on the first night. And if it sucks again, there's like a thousand other places in walking distance.
