    A friend and I met for dinner here. She had tuna which was delicious and I had Icelandic cod, tasty and filling. Drinks were good and service was excellent!! I had made the reservation for 7:30 and the place was packed and loud. At 8 many had left and we could hear one another clearly. A neighborhood gem for fresh fish and fine service.

    1. Oysters (Wellfleets) were excellent (they usually are) and expertly shucked. Shells full of brine, bodies perfectly loosened, and not a trace of shell fragments or dirt. This is very seldom so well done in other restaurants. 2. We had two different fish dishes, both excellent. Prepared exactly as we requested (rare), with perfectly matched sides and sauces. 3. Service just right, well timed, without unnecessary interruptions. Thank you!

    We LOVE Crave Fishbar. Every meal has been fantastic. We feel so lucky that we have this gem in our neighborhood. We have brought friends and family here and they were always impressed. The must haves are the rice dusted calamari, the salmon tostada and the arctic char on crispy rice. Among other things that are delicious. And service has always been on point, friendly and attentive. Can't wait to go back!
