Happy hour, oysters, weekend brunch, great service and outdoor seating! What more could one ask for in a local spot on the UWS? But it gets better, Crave Fishbar is the first 100% sustainable seafood restaurant. This is one of my favorite spots on the UWS! You can find me enjoying the outdoor seating all year round with Koa during happy hours!
The oysters rotate seasonally and are always fresh! My favorite is wellfeet and it’s available ALL YEAR ROUND!
There is a specialty cocktail for everyone! One of my favorite is the oyster martini, a classic martini served with a rotating local oyster for. During happy hour, the big ben is delicious and only $10 during . This is a refreshing drink made with vodka, grapefruit, elderflower liquor, fresh lime juice. Pair it with the Judith calamari, my ultimate favorite! It's so good!
Grabbing dinner? As a fish-focused restaurant, you will love any seafood entree you grab. No matter the fish, whether it’s the barramundi, salmon, or swordfish, they turn it to the starring lead pairing with the right sauces and side vegetables. My favorites are the seared yellow fin tuna and Thai lobster curry!
During weekend brunch, an all you can drink “drink like a fish” is available for 90 minutes and it’s only $19! For an additional $5 you can add more cocktails: Moscow mule, margarita and the big ben.
What makes this place special is the great service, everyone from the hostess to the manager are friendly!
