   I can't say enough about this place! Heard about it on NYLive and everything true! From the moment we arrived, the hostess was so friendly and welcoming of us and our 2 little yorkies. The bartender, Annie as well as the rest of the staff we interacted with just such a pleasure 😊 And the food! Amazing on all counts, oysters and fish SO fresh and delicious! We can't wait to come back!

   Greeted and seated right away. Sat at the table and no acknowledgment for quite sometime. Finally someone came by with water and then waited quiet a bit of time before the waitress appeared. Food was good but service not so great

   Crave Fishbar provided excellent food, service and ambiance! We had a great Mother’s Day dinner trying their incredibly fresh oysters, the calamari appetizer and several different entrees including the Barramundi, Branzino, fish tacos made with hake as well as their burger. We also ordered a side of the za’atar cauliflower. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked!

    Best calamari we’ve ever had! Crab pasta, squid ink pasta, barramundi were all well prepared and delicious. Food was hot, oysters were chilled, wait staff was prompt, attentive and offered great suggestions. Overall a wonderful experience!

    Our experience exceeded our expectations. Five stars on all accounts. Warm crab sushi rolls, cauliflower soup and lobster roll (even better than a Maine mayo roll!) were savory delights. A terrific dinner prior to Lincoln Center performance.

    Service was way too quick. Barramundi was inedible. Tasted way too fishy. Ordered the lobster curry which was good but could not believe that for the price of that entree I had to order a separate side dish of rice to go with it. Seated next to a party with 5 young children. Not a pleasant experience at all.

    Food was excellent (she enjoyed lobster roll; I was thrilled they had cherrystones at the raw bar and enjoyed the local fish). Service was excellent. We found the bar area a tad loud and hostess nicely moved us to to a quieter spot at the back. We couldn’t predict we’d ultimately end up next to a loud crowd of young women, but not laying that at the feet of the restaurants.

    The manager Jeremy was really great. He did a wonderful presentation on oysters, the regions they come from, and the future of oyster farming. The man is an asset. Totally loved it. Of course oysters were a must and they were delicious. We also ordered the barramundi and curry lobster, both were exceptional. Waiting staff super attentive. I will be telling all my friends and family to make sure they patronize Crave.....

    Crave Fishbar UWS consistently impresses. They have hands down the freshest, well-sourced fish of most restaurants we know. The variety of oysters they offer alone - from small providers they clearly know and build relationships with - is amazing. Last evening, had the most delicious Long Island Fluke dish; after spending summers as a kid on the Long Island South Shore, catching fluke from our family boat, I was impressed with both the freshness of the fish and the prep enhanced the lovely flavor of the fish without drowning it out. Their Happy Hour menu (5 days a week!) is a fantastic value - and they offer other creative ways (Sunday Dinner specials etc) to enjoy their fresh fish and creative menu and save a few bucks at the same time. Their service staff is friendly and attentive, from the manager on down to the bus boys!

    Oysters were delicious - Try the Black Duck Salt if they have them. The Naked Fish section of the menu featured flounder, which was cooked perfectly. Nice to have the naked option - roasted, grilled or blackened. The grilled was perfectly seasoned.

    Sat right off the top stair, long wait for initial greeting from waiter. Oysters were good and fresh. Got food arrived before oyster tray was cleared and the bus person was … troubles. Empty glass sat for ages. Food was generally good. Octopus fine but not super fresh. Crudo was good. Service was less than attentive even though it wasn’t very busy. Not clear why they sat us directly at top of stairs when half empty.

    Abundanza of oysters! Had 5PM Sat right pre-Beacon reservation and took advantage of happy hour pricing on their fabulous selection of oysters...could have had 2 dozen! Fish dishes we had were excellent...fresh light creative and subtly flavored and the service was perfect...attentive but not intrusive. Highly recommend

    It is a nice restaurant, but the food is generally average, especially given the prices charged for most items. The Happy Hour oyster and drinks specials are a good deal, however.
