I ordered the Seafood boil (Wild Crab Sauce-medium spicy--head on shrimp, mussels, crawfish, snow crab legs, corn & eggs) however when I opened the bag--they gave me potatoes as well which was nice of them to add. The smell was sooo good! The sauce was amazing. Next time I'll order it a little bit more spicier. Only thing is the crawfish were super small--could be cause wasn't in season, but I'll be back to try more of the menu. If you want seafood, come here! Definitely worth a try.

Anyway the service was great we sat down and the menu has plenty of options. I have been craving wings, so wings I had (the garlic flavor) super crispy and flavorful. Then I tried the seafood ramen with chicken broth, It could've used a little more flavor but I added some eel sauce and it hit the spot. Finished with the small seafood broil (definitely shareable ) with shrimp mussels Dungeness crab noodles broccoli and an egg in the wild crab sauce--- didn't disappoint. We also tried the teas which they'll make to your sweetness preference. Psssst.... Super affordable as well. I'll see you there.

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! (:

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

For appetizers we had Oysters Rockefeller and Avgolomono Soup. The soup was very good, though the oysters could have used more salt in my opinion. My Dad ordered a drink which, apart from being delicious, came in a very unique cup. The seafood entrees we ordered were tender and fresh, which I could tell because none of them had any noticeably fishy smell. The fillets I ordered were deboned flawlessly. I felt that the fish was cooked just right, and salt and pepper were provided on request. Great value at time of visit. Would recommend and visit again.

Not sure why gratuity is being auto-added for a party of four to begin with. More importantly, when that's the case, it's standard practice to clearly inform the customer and give them the option to add more if they choose. Our waitress never mentioned it at all--I only noticed after getting home and reviewing the receipt. Not a huge loss financially, but it's the kind of thing that costs a business repeat customers.

We've been to Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood (Staten Island) for both lunch and dinner all-you-can-eat,…read moreand the experiences were honestly very different. Lunch all-you-can-eat was amazing. Our waitress was outstanding since it was our first visit, she took the time to explain everything clearly and made the whole experience feel welcoming and smooth. The custom seafood bags with mixed seasoning were delicious and full of flavor. The sides really stood out: the fried shrimp were huge, crispy, and perfectly cooked, the fried fish was good, and the calamari was light and crispy. The only letdown was the crab fries, which were disappointing considering how much fresh seafood they offer they used imitation crab, which felt out of place. Dinner all-you-can-eat, on the other hand, was less impressive. Dinner is about $20 more and includes the raw bar and snow crab legs, and while the food itself was still very good, the service was extremely slow. Getting our server's attention was difficult at times, even though there were plenty of servers working. We were only able to order a few seafood bags before being told we were out of time. We were 4 adults. Portions at dinner were also noticeably smaller than lunch portions, and overall it just didn't feel worth the higher price. I understand dinner is busier, but based on our experience, the lunch all-you-can-eat is absolutely the better value. For an additional cost, you can still add crab legs and raw bar items during lunch, making it a much better overall experience. Recommendation: Go for lunch all-you-can-eat great service, generous portions, and excellent food. Dinner all-you-can-eat could be improved, especially in service and pacing.

As a seafood restaurant, I expected better handling and cooking, but the dish was overdone and chewy, losing its good flavor. The only thing I managed to eat was some of the clams on my plate, but even those were so-so and didn't seem fresh. I told the server about the foul odor and taste, but they didn't seem to care or offer to replace anything. In fact, he asked if I wanted the plate to go since I barely touched my food. It just didn't seem like they tried to understand or care about service recovery. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place. Honestly, I think everyone should avoid it, especially since my friends and I ended up vomiting hours later from food poisoning.

We've been to Marina Café so many times, and I realized I've never actually written a review!…read more We went for dinner with a group of 10 and had a reservation for 6:30. We sat inside with a beautiful view of the water. The vibe is quiet, waterfront and a little upscale, although with three kids, I'm pretty sure we were the ambiance that night . Our servers have known us for years and the service was great as always. We ordered approximately 7,000 appetizers lol. The rice balls are a MUST. They're small, crispy, served with honey and one of our favorites. Honestly, order your own because you're not going to want to share. The crispy rice with tuna was also outstanding--fresh tuna piled on top of perfectly crispy rice. We also had baked clams, flatbread, a summer salad and house salad, and everything was fresh and good. For my entrée, I got the zuppa di pesce with the spice held. The seafood was fresh without tasting fishy at all, and the tomato-garlic broth was delicious. The portion was HUGE. I'd absolutely order it again, but next time I'm sharing it with someone... especially after my 7,000 appetizers. Around the table, everyone was happy. The blackened mahi-mahi with coconut rice was delicious, the veal chop special was so tender my dad practically licked the plate clean, the penne vodka with shrimp was excellent, and the braised short ribs with mashed potatoes were a hit too. Even the kids were covered with chicken tenders, fries and buttered pasta. We finished with crème brûlée, chocolate and vanilla ice cream, lemon sorbet and raspberry sorbet. No complaints anywhere! It's definitely on the pricier side, but the waterfront view, consistently good food and wonderful service are why we've been coming here for years.

Poor service, food lukewarm and cold, over crowded with large parties surrounding our table. They forgot the ricotta salada on the Rigatoni Vincenzo dish and there were NO cherry peppers on my pork chop. Again loud, no attention to our needs. One hour between apps and entree. (Asked three times for a glass of wine). Waitstaff breaking down & setting up large tables right next to us during our dinner. We skipped dessert and coffee. Had it at home to avoid another hour wait. We are NOT going back. BTW the waiter Kevin or the Maitre'd never stopped by our table to see if everything was ok. I think they could do better.

What looked like 2 slabs of brioche made into French toast with a berry topping and maple syrup was also just as good. 10/10.
