    I always thoroughly enjoy my dining experience at Crave. The food is consistently delicious. I particularly enjoyed my partner's squid ink spaghetti, and our mini crab hand rolls were smooth and buttery. When I mentioned my partner and I had our first date at Crave seven years ago, the server surprised us with a cookie and ice cream. So thoughtful and sweet! It really was a lovely experience. Pro tip: sit upstairs on the balcony, it's rather romantic and allows for wonderful views of pedestrians!

    Dinner at Crave Fish Bar in Kips Bay which is my favorite seafood place in NYC. We started with the salmon sashimi tostada. For mains, we shared the lobster roll with spicy avocado garlic aioli, and the seared yellowfin tuna with coriander adobo, mexican corn, and smashed fingerling potatoes. Service is also excellent!

    Great neighborhood restaurant with interesting drinks and very tasty fish and seafood dishes. The service is very friendly. And rare for Manhattan restaurants - you are left to linger and converse in peace.
