Crave Fishbar Upper West Side

Dropped off some film and was in the mood for oysters so I looked on google the closes place. I remember being here once but can’t remember that visit, but this time that I was here was amazing. Got there at 5pm which was during the happy hour period. Ordered a dozen oysters that were on happy hour, salmon sashimi tostadas, a slider, and cold crab claws paired with some wine. Everything was amazing. This was a solo date for myself and it was really comfy to able. Staff was amazing, my bartender did her thing. This is my new happy hour spot

Went during a beautiful Sunday around happy hour and sat outdoors. The cocktails were some of the best I have ever had. Highly recommend the spicy marg 🌶️. The seafood itself was delicious and very fresh. The salmon sashimi tosdada— wow. Crudo— ditto. Nashville style fish tacos— 🤤 Unfortunately devoured everything rather quickly so only got a picture of the oysters, but they have an amazing selection and also serve with grapefruit (which I hadn’t seen previously). Will definitely be back!

This oyster happy hour has a strong reputation for a reason — it generously delivers. We recently revisited Crave UWS after a 1.5 year long hiatus from it (not intentional, just hadn’t gone in a long time). It was fantastic. My husband and I are trying to cut back on our *imbibing*, which can be hard to do at a happy hour. However, they have a good non-alcoholic beer on hand and who ever said tonic and lime doesn’t go great with oysters? Exactly. We ordered a dozen blue points and two cherrystone clams to kick it off. SO GOOD and SOOO HUGE. Honestly the blue points were actually a little too big for my taste! However, they’re tasty and you get your moneys worth. The raw bar offerings are cold, crisp, clean, no matter what you choose to order. It really lets you enjoy the nuances between the different oysters. My friend from CA looooved the Shibumi’s! I highly recommend this spot if you like seafood and especially if you like oyster happy hours. The other items on the happy hour menu are also delish. Get shuckin!

The interior was so pretty, you immediately feel like you’ve left the city. We had reservations, so we were immediately given a seat. We ordered from the brunch & lunch Menu. The Seared Rare Yellowfin Tuna was AMAZING. The flavors, the proportion size, just everything about this dish was great! The Lobster Roll was not my dish, but I did try it and thought the proportion size didn’t match its price ( gave less than expected). I also wasn’t a big fan of the aioli they add to the lobster. Fries were good. We also had the unlimited drinks which was a pretty great deal !!! All in all, I’d definitely recommend this place. The service and food were great.

EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT. From our host Maria, our server and crew, to the FOOD. Drinks: Smoke & Mirrors (short glass) & Japanese Highball (tall glass). Appetizers: Nashville Style Crispy Fish Tacos(2 pc), Hand-Cut Fries, and a variety of oysters. Entrees: Handmade Spicy Squid Ink Spaghetti & Oven Roasted Barramundi. Dessert(Not Shown) : Giant Chocolate Cookie w/ Vanilla Ice Cream. Extra: Bloody Mary Oyster Shooters (red drink) Every thing excellently prepared and displayed. Atmosphere was very relaxed, especially for a Friday night, yet still booked to capacity. We WILL return!

Enjoyed a family gathering here for New Years. I did not get to sample them but the beautiful Blue Point Oyster platters I saw going by had me regretting not doing so. I had a delicious squid ink spaghetti that incorporated chopped shrimp, garlic, chiles for a little punch, and clam stock. I was also intrigued by and tried the garlic chive griddled rice, which was a side and made of snap peas, egg and rice, which was good if a little dry. There were no complaints about any of the entrees and the deserts (I had a taste of a good Sunday). Laid back atmosphere, very attentive staff, it is on the upper west side, so expect premium prices.

We went around the holidays and it was beautifully decorated outside and inside. The staff/waiters are amazing and attentive! Oysters are delicious and fresh -It’s been 24hrs since I ate there and didn’t get sick :) so that’s good! Happy hour is from 4-6 and that prices are very reasonable includes cocktails wine beer and food! For the main course (after 6pm) we had squid ink pasta, lobster roll and steak! All were very delicious and good portion.
