About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Neighborhood gem
Great for happy hour

Aqua Boil brings the bold, flavorful spirit of a Southern seafood boil to the heart of New York City. Build your own seafood feast by choosing your catch, your sauce, and your spice level, all served hot in our signature boil bags that lock in mouthwatering flavor. The Mad Ocean Combo is a must-try: a feast where you pick five seafood options for the ultimate shareable experience. Other highlights include the buttery-rich Aqua Roll, a mix of shrimp and lobster in garlic butter sauce served warm lobster roll style, our ultra-creamy Lobster Mac and Cheese, hearty Gumbo, spicy Jambalaya, and our rich Clam Chowder served in a jumbo toasted bread bowl. With house cocktails, local beers, and sides like Cajun fries and garlic noodles, every visit feels like a party.

Let’s get messy. That’s our motto, and trust us, it tastes better that way.

I can honestly say the food is great. Everything tastes fresh and seasoned very well. My only problem, which lowered my overall experience was the service we received. I did have a reservation and was seated immediately, and that was it. Nobody came to the take to bring us water, take our order or simply as if we were ready to order. The hostess sat us at a table that wasn’t prepared for dining. There was no paper on the table for us, for when we start eating and eventually when the waiter came over he served us warm water. Also, they gave advertised happy hour on Sundays from 1pm-6pm for $9 drinks and then charged us $15 each for the drink stating it was a holiday and they don’t have happy hour on holidays. Mother’s Day is not considered a national holiday.

Aqua Boil offers a fun, flavorful seafood boil experience with customizable spice levels and generous portions. The Cajun-inspired sauces are rich and addictive, especially with the shrimp and crawfish. Casual, lively atmosphere and attentive service make it perfect for groups. A delicious, messy, and satisfying spot for seafood lovers.

I definitely enjoyed the seafood boil with snow crab legs and shrimp. The cajun seasoning mix was really great! Small space, so make reservations if possible.

Terrible, la peor experiencia de cómoda estilo Louisiana en New York, la “manager” es una china coreana, oriental o no se de donde súper grosera prepotente y altanera, la pasamos muy mal, nunca había recibido un trato así. Te obligan a elegir lo que ellos quieren y altanera final quieren que dejes la propina como si fuera el mejor lugar, no es, no vayan.
