    Perfect if you love oysters like we do!! We went during happy hour and it was amazing. We were able to try a bunch of small plates and 2 rounds of oysters at happy hour prices. We will definitely go back!!

    We had a great experience at Crave!! The restaurant manager, Jeremy, is a true oyster expert. He help us pick out some amazing oysters from his favorite spots and they were all interestingly different and very tasty. Also, the suggested wine pairing, a Sav Blanc from Loire valley, was a perfect complement. We were there during restaurant week which offered a nice selection in a three course menu. Overall fun dinner…highly recommend if you are in NYC on upper west side.

    Great meal and wonderful service. We were grateful they could accommodate us when we started as a party of 3 and unexpectedly became a party of 6. Lovely experience all around.

    Great food and lovely service! Liked our table off to the side which was less noisy than other places we've sat. We love Crave and we eat there often.
