    We had the an amazing dinner with friends last night. We made our reservation based solely on reviews online. Crave did not disappoint. Greeted immediately walking in the door and took a seat with friends at the bar while waiting for the rest of our party. The bartender was quick to bring me a glass of water without asking. Our drinks were delicious. Our table was waiting as soon as we were ready. Loved that our table of 6 was seated in the front of the restaurant near the window. There was only one other table for 2, which remained unoccupied throughout our meal, so it was like a private area for us. The service was excellent by all. Raw bar oysters, clams, shrimp, blue fin tuna nigiri all so fresh and served beautifully. The various dinners were enjoyed by all from barramundi to steak to lobster roll. Their steak fries are crispy and fresh. Loved the cappuccino and fresh cookie with ice cream. Needless to say we will be back. So happy to find this gem.

    It is so rare to find a place that does everything very well in a neighborhood restaurant setting. When you do, you do not want to review it so you can greedily keep the secret to yourself and improve your future chances of securing a table again. From the moment we walked into the place, everything was right. The host and hostess were pleasant, courteous, and prompt to seat us on time for our reservation. The place is small, so I had concerns about being seated alongside the bar. The noise, the traffic, the potential for being ignored for the tables in the dining area. None of that was the case. The noise level was normal if not quieter than expected for a Friday night despite the number of people dining there. The bartender was obviously experienced and pleasant to all the guests and staff, even when she was shaking two drinks at a time and had two more waiting. The drink selection was classic, with some twists which did not stray from the original concept of the cocktail. Tequila was featured on the shelves with choices including excellent, additive-free brands. The menu was straight forward and obviously fish/shellfish focused. Shellfish like Jonah crab and oysters were exceptionally fresh and simply, classically presented in a cold tower. Accompaniments were all fresh. Fish entrees were perfectly cooked and the flavors all accented their featured fish component. Our waiter was attentive (but not overly so!) and cheerful. All our dishes were brought at a nice pace and promptly from kitchen to table. Decor is warm weathered wood in a muted maritime feel, like an old seaside cottage. What a find in Midtown East. We cannot wait to return.

    Raw oysters were fresh and flavorful. Oven Roasted Barramundi had the best sauce. Sea Bass was fried to perfection. My husband truly enjoyed the side of rice. Menu stated that the Muscadet wine was a great accompaniment to the oysters and it was.

    The naked, fish options on the menu are perfect when I am looking to keep my diet clean. Most restaurants do not have this option and food is covered in water and oil. My weakness, however, is the cherry stone clams. There is never a Time I don’t get at least six.

    The oysters were fabulous. Clean and fresh. The major disappointment was the lobster rolls. We all agree that the lobster was not sweet and should be a completely hot lobster on a buttered warm roll. Keep it simple and more like a Bostwicks lobster roll in Amagansett or a traditional Maine hot lobster roll Everything else was very good. Our waitress was wonderful and accommodating. Tolerant of my 2 year old grandson - who actually was well behaved!

    Found this restaurant only a couple of blocks from our hotel. The fish was fresh and very good. For medical reasons, I ordered my fish roasted plain (without the sauce) and it was cooked very well and still flavorful and delicious, and no problem for the restaurant to accommodate. The accompanying side was also delicious, as were the oysters. My wife had the same dish, but with the sauce and said that it was also very good. All in all, it was great to enjoy good quality seafood and we will definitely come again during our next trip to the City.

    Experience was “meh” - we had the squid ink pasta: the flavour was bland. We also had the lobster roll: it was ok but the fries were cold and soggy. The restaurant was nice and the vibe was great, the service was mediocre at best. I would go back to give it a second try

    Always a treat to be here. Thoughtful menu, informed servers, and beautifully crafted dishes make every visit memorable. Oysters are always prepared exactly as they should be: super clean and cut correctly, and with no runt specimens on the tray, ever. Love them for this alone, but they excel in every other category as well. Oh, and a perfect drink and dessert menu to boot!! ❤️🦪

    Service was friendly, vibe was comfortable, food was delicious but a little salty which I personally don’t mind but others may. It was a great end to a nice day. I’m originally from New England and felt the seafood was very fresh for New York and not too overpriced. Cocktails were tasty and had nice presentation.

    Excellent from the waitress and staff all the way to the wine and dessert. Not to miss fresh calamari or salmon tostada … do not pass up! Barramundi was fabulous over asparagus. They have a patio that is lighted but the restaurant signage is difficult to see so you may not know you’ve arrived if you are not from the area … manager was meticulous on cleaning protocols and guest experience.
