    Went in to purchase a caviar flight and walked out with nothing as this place isn't well kept at all. Everything looked stale. The biggest turn off was after about 8 mins in store not a single staff offered a hello or any assistance. Appears to have variety but not hygienic for a seafood spot. Don't think will give another try.

    Smoked salmon sandwich
    Anthony P.

    Can see why this place has the reputation it does. It's a classic no frills jewish deli serving some really high quality smoked salmon. I got a bagel sandwich with smoked salmon and cream cheese and enjoyed it. I will say that the bagel isn't necessarily the best in the city, and I do prefer other places' overall and their smoked salmon sandwiches, but the quality of the salmon is undeniable. Cream cheese was just fine overall. This is more of a quality neighborhood spot than it is a destination spot, imo. Although if I did return I would probably craft a more complex sandwich, knowing that I'd be paying for it too though. If you're in the UES and want to check out the smoked salmon scene, this place is a must visit. It's a small space and service was quick.

    A line to get in.

    Long line before holiday, food looked good but didn't wait. Take out only. Small deli atmosphere.

    Thinly sliced Scottish Smoked Salmon

    Waiting to cross E. 76th St. and 3rd Ave. I happened to look behind me to see a bright store sign - SABEL'S. The exterior looked new and inviting and as I could do with something quick to eat decided to check them out. Walked in to a clean space, with a refrigerated section displaying an array of cream cheese spreads, salads and smoked fish. As well as eager to assist workers behind the counter. What really caught my eye was one worker in particular expertly carving almost paper thin slices of Smoked Salmon. This had me sold. I asked for a 1/4lb of Scottish Smoked Salmon, plain, no Cream Cheese or Bagel. I decided to stand at a table. Admired the beautiful packaging before opening, then ate each unctuous slice of Salmon. I must say this was THE best Smoked Salmon I've had in some time. To me it had that Japanese Tuna Otoro consistency. At $61.98/lb, it was well worth it. P.S. While exiting and taking a pic of the store front, I noticed their claim of WORLD'S BEST SMOKED SALMON. Until I stumble upon someplace better, they indeed own that brag.

    Sable's smells like fish but for a Sunday morning coffee I sat down and enjoyed a small cup for $2! Service was quick and the employees are all very pleasant to deal with. I've had their food and there's definitely some items I need to try. Now that I know they open early on Sunday I'll return. They have outdoor seating too. I'm recommending! Especially for fish lovers!

    Belly Lox! iykyk
    Antoine L.

    Simply put, Sable's in New Yorks best appetizing store. Their Master fishcutters are brothers from Hong Kong recruited many years ago from Zabars. Their belly lox (hard to find these days) is just perfect, beautiful and buttery, never too salty. They were among the first and best purveyors of Scottish and specialty salmons like Pastrami cured. Nobody elses compares and it is beautifully cut. Their baked salmon and whitefish salads, always fresh smoky and delicious. Bagels fresh baked daily and sourced from the best bakeries. Additionally do not sleep on their chopped liver and chicken salad! New York's finest. They have been catering our Medical office Pharma lunches for 25 years. Never late. Always delivered fresh. Support the real New York. Support a true Appetizing Store. Order from Sable's!

    Smoked salmon with cream cheese, tomato and onion!!   :)
    Donald K.

    The staff greets you once you walk in. They have a great variety of bagels and sandwiches to choose from. I had the smoked salmon with cream cheese on wheat bagel and it was very delicious and fresh. The staff also makes sure that you are very satisfied with your meal which I was. It was a great way to begin the weekend. If you are in the area, then I highly recommend Sable's Smoked Fish!! :)

    Lox with Egg Over-Easy Sandwich
    Michelle Y.

    Pretty decent bagels but not a lot of options, esp for spreads-- as the name suggest they are mostly known for their lox & other smoked fish! We got to sample their lobster salad(?) which was pretty good. I think the lox could be too "fishy" for some people. The inside reminds me more of a deli but there's a couple of tables inside and out for those who want to sit and eat.

    Service was a bit rough and hectic on a Sunday afternoon. Bit of a wait as well. We ordered the turkey and egg on a whole wheat bagel and it was delicious. Fresh ingredients and the bagels were perfectly soft on the inside. Even tried the tuna which was amazing. Sandwiches come with a free water/soda/coffee. Seating also available inside.

    Scottish Salmon tomato onion caper sesame bagel
    Stacy T.

    Came on a very cold rainy day. The salmon was amazing - springy and happy, definitely 5 stars. The whole combo was ok. The bagel was not as fresh and didn't have that classic chew. Onion was very thickly cut. They also charged me double for tomato, probably by accident but I didn't realize till much later. Overall I would just buy the salmon and then get a bagel separately .

    Very disappointed. Instead of nice slices of Nova on my bagel, I was given a few left over scraps. Not cheap either!

    Do they have salmon wings?

    Hi Harold, yes we have salmon wings. We have both smoked & baked salmon wings at our store.

    Do you still carry the smoked salmon ends and smoked salmon(wings)? What are they priced these days?

    I am a seafood fanatic and I loved this place. I have tried several Greek and Egyptian style…read moreseafood restaurants in the area of the same concept. Astoria Seafood is definitely the favorite! The staff are so welcoming and warm it's like being served by friends and family. The seafood options here seem bigger than other places, though they didnt have my favorite octopus on this day. There's also a huge variety of sides to pick from. The only con I can possibly name is that we both smelled so strongly like fried calamari after dining here that I could only smell calamari on our clothes at our new year's party several hours later! Maybe poor ventilation or just a very busy day. Cannot wait to come back to Astoria Seafood. Very casual dining experience - a must for seafood lovers no frills and great value.

    Will never come back here. Heard about this place on IG and…read morethe crowd was so big when I got there so hopes were high. The lines themselves were confusing but there's an initial line inside where you grab your own seafood buffet style and get online to pay. It was fun grabbing everything because even though it was a lot of people, the other customers and staff (especially the young guy at the cashier and the guy sitting next to the seafood bags) were SO nice. After paying $180, he said we can basically wait to be sat or if we find a seat we can grab it. We got on second line outside to wait for a table, but we saw two seats open with another group who said it was cool to sit with them. We sat for 30 minutes, a waitress came and brought us utensils and plates. Later this bald waiter (didnt get his name) came over and asked if someone sat us from the line and we said we were told we can just sit if there's a spot. He said that wasn't allowed and we have to go on line, we're stunned but like alright...we joined the line again where we're several spots away from where we were originally when we were first online (important for later) but we didnt think we could just cut the line back to where we were. We're waiting for about a whole hour on this line barely moving which it's a friday at a busy restaurant and I still wanna have a good time, especially because we're finally next to be sat. Then this couple just comes out from inside and stands in front of us. We're thinking like um what are they doing but confident the guy knows we're next. The bald guy comes back, asks who's next, the couple raises their hands as do we and the bald guy points at us like no wait theyre next. The couple then says they accidentally went on the line inside for a table. The bald guy is like oh okay and we're like ???? He seats them, my partner says to the bald guy that we had the same situation when we were sat initially at the table and he kicked us out and placed us at the back of the line. He apologized but didn't sit us. We're so pissed at this guy and this couple but at the same time we understand the couple because it's an honest mistake but we've been here for 1.5 hours and the only problem has been this guy. Still, we wanted to enjoy the night and were reallyyyy looking forward to the delicious food. But we end up waiting another 30 minutes to be sat and at this points it's 9pm and my partner has work at 4am in the morning. We are FINALLY sat by another waiter who is very nice and we felt bad because he just seemed busy and overwhelmed. But we're sat and given two plates and utensils. Utensils are plastic knives and forks which Id expect better but sure it's "authentic" and plates are just plain plastic plates. One plate has food still on it and I ask for a new one, then also looking at the other plate it also has sauce still on it and we ask for a new one. We get the salad we ordered and new plates. For 20 minutes, the salad was all that was served, but we also got water with our order and the salad was supposed to come with garlic bread. We ask and the waiter said they're out of bread but he'll bring the water. He brings water, then about 10 minutes later (it's now been a total of 30 minutes at the table) we finally get some of our food. We were given the mussels, scallops, and shrimp (still waiting on salmon, fish and crab legs). Now, we have been here for this long and the food looked like it was thrown on the plate with zero seasoning (we ate some but the photo was pretty much how it was served). But still thought maybe it'd taste good. ...It was so bland and unappetizing. The aesthetic instead of seeming authentic was now just looking lazy and haphazard. This is just such a let down but we got the salmon and it tasted okay, a good cut but that's about it. Then my partner was eating the mussels and got one that was raw, kind of the last straw for us after everything, my partner had to be up early for work AND we still had to wait for the fish and crab legs. He went inside with the mussels and said it was raw and mentioned just the entire mixup of the night. The people inside were SO nice about it. They asked what we'd like to do and we asked for a refund for the fish and crab legs (they finally came while he was inside about the mussels) (also the crab legs were given with no tools to open the legs but the plastic utensils). We left them untouched and just wanted a refund and to leave. He told them that they should also have a sign clarifying the lines AND about the situation when we first sat down. Even the owner said yeah we should've been served when we first sat down and that it was allowed to just grab the two seats (the bald guy was still there and overheard the entire conversation). The cashier guy was very generous and was telling us he'll give the refund but we can still enjoy the crab and fish but we really had to go. Overall, the most disappointing food and service experience besides the people inside.

    What a great seafood restaurant! Greenpoint Fish & Lobster has a fresh seafood counter to purchase…read moreitems as well as a full restaurant. Be sure to make a reservation, as this spot is popular, especially on a nice weekend. We recently had a weekend brunch at one of the tables outside. Everything on the menu sounded good, but we decided on a couple of their specials. Started with the razor clams, which were cooked perfectly and topped with fresh herbs. We also had the fried soft shell crab sandwich with the side of Caesar salad. The sandwich was well balanced with the crunchy crab and herby aioli. The Caesar was light and refreshing. The fish and chips came with two fried filets of white fish and a basket of classic fries. The fish was lightly battered and flakey. The house made tartar sauce was a good complement to it. One of my top meals this year so far! Perfect summer meal!

    I'm so torn about this review. The food was pretty good but the full experience truly lacked I wish…read moreI could give another half a star. Going to Greenpoint Fish and Lobster on a weekend is truly a mission. If you don't have a reservation chances are you'll be waiting around for a long time. They estimated 30min wait and it turned out to be over an hour. We were ready to walk away 3 times but ended up sticking around as we were promised we were third on the list meanwhile more than 3 parties were seated before us (strange!). Once we were seated, we ordered right away having had time to look at the menu while waiting. Crudo, dozen of oysters, clam chowder + lobster roll. - Crudo was a bit sad with 6 pieces of fish lying on a big plate with an insane amount of salt flakes. It was fresh but don't think it's worth ordering. - East coast oysters were puny. Very mid especially because I've recently tried some at Upstate that were amazing. They're incomparable. - Lobster roll. Okay should've just gone straight for the roll because it was perfect. Buttery and fresh with perfect balance of lobster roll bread. The salad dressing also was delicious. So good! Definitely highlight of this restaurant. - Clam chowder. Also 10/10. Hearty, flavorful. Loved every bite of it. Service was average. They weren't profoundly interested in giving best service instead just chatting amongst each other and dropping off plates. Also they forgot about the clam chowder we ordered and asked if we still want it.. YES..that's why we ordered it. Overall if you don't pay attention to those details it's worth coming for some great seafood. BUT I highly recommend getting a reservation.

We got in line around 7:30 pm on a Sunday and waited about an hour to order our food and another 20 minutes or so to be seated. You pick all the seafood you want first and how you want it prepared. Once you're seated, you get another menu with appetizers and other cooked dishes. Your seafood gets brought out along with any other dishes you ordered.

The babaganoush, the tahini, the beets, the eggplant and the salad all lacked flavor. The bread was just heated up pocket pita... the mint limeade was fine. The fries were fine. The service was very attentive, and the decor cute.
