    1st time here. Restaurant was crowded, however service was fantastic. 2 in my party had the salmon dish, which they raved bout. I had the cod, which was okay. I would have like more seasonings, as it was rather bland. Overall, i can’t wait to go back and try the Thai lobster meal.

    Crave is consistently wonderful and the best oysters in town. We anxiously awaited the reopening of the UWS Mermaid and it has been a big disappointment. Crave is above and beyond the best in town!

    I recently had an amazing experience at Crave Fish Bar, thanks to Bridgette. She made our visit truly memorable with her excellent service and fantastic recommendations. The variety of oysters was incredible, each one more delicious than the last. Bridgette's knowledge about the different types and her suggestions were spot-on, enhancing our dining experience. If you're looking for a great place to enjoy oysters and receive top-notch service, Crave Fish Bar with Bridgette is the place to go! Also they acknowledged our anniversary which was so sweet. Will definitely be back so soon!

    The yellowfin sushi roll was delish! The fish was fresh and plentiful. The winter sangria was excellent! Very different. And the salmon was perfect!
