Olga EskinaJune 2, 2014Have been here about 30 times at least. The place is amazing. The oyster special went up in price $1 but it's completely worth it. Had the jalapeño steamers for the first time yesterday. SOOOO GOOD!
Nancy KangJune 10, 2013My new fave seafood spot! Hands down. Had shrimp cocktail, clams casino, alaskan king crab legs, sauteed string beans & sliced tomatoes. 2 thumbs up to ALL of it! Great service & very chill vibe!
Awesome cozy, divey atmosphere with insanely delicious seafood. Start with the $9 for 6 oysters and either a PBR or glass of wine. Can't beat it.
Eric MeiningerJune 20, 2014The paella is to die for! You need @least 2 to finish it, and it takes a little extra time to get your order (so you may want to order the red white blue special while you wait) but is SO worth it!
Mumma1945September 16, 2016Mostly rings, delicately battered. Somewhat chewy on this visit. Marinara sauce has a mild heat coming through.
The Red, White and Blue (6 oysters+PBR) is a great start to any meal! Excellent soups, especially the clam chowder and lobster bisque. Loved the Chilean Sea Bass, halibut, and ask for their specials!
Christopher StewartApril 6, 2015This place is the shizzle. The paella and fisherman's stew offer delightful seafood for those who love a bit of everything and the oysters are simply outstanding. Lobster shepherd's pie is D-lish!
Ilya GoriachevApril 11, 2014Good oysters with a glass of wine and great grilled dorado too. Definitely the place if you're looking for some fish. Just try to get there before 6pm or be ready to wait in line for a table.
Jinnie LDecember 28, 2014The $20 lobster feast is pretty popular menu here but we got the robster roll, 2 dozen blue point oysters, n surf & turf. I can't wait to come back n eat all u can eat crabs n lobster feast!! ;P
Janet CheungMay 21, 2015Lobster mac and cheese is a must! Red white and blue for oysters is a good deal but the wine it comes with is not quite up to standards!
DoubleDeuceApril 18, 2015Great raw bar deal. I have no other idea why you'd come here, except for being a tourist on Bleecker or maybe because you want to throw some plant shells on the floor. Northeast seafood tourist life.
Oyster special great. Obviously. In a group i start w that. Then have Maryland crab cake and tuna tar tar, order blackened catfish and say scallops or crab legs and more dishes if needed great meal
Kyo SongFebruary 24, 2016Oyster special with PBR or glass of wine. But it's the fried oysters on half shell that keeps us coming back whenever we're in town
Sam HSeptember 4, 2015Red white and blue x 2 and the seafood sampler are bomb dignity. Throw in some lobster mac and cheese and lobster roll if you're still hungry
Joshua BanksApril 17, 2018This place is a gem... quality and $ come together with a great relaxing atmosphere filled with local. 3-6 happy hour $1 oyster $3 wine
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014A large raw bar provides several oyster options, and the famous special--6 oysters or clams with the house wine or a PBR--is a steal at $8. Read more
JessicaJune 2, 2013They don't take reservations and the wait is usually of an hour or hour and half on Fridays and Saturdays. The wait is well worth it. Put your name down and grab a drink or two at a bar nearby.
Nikki VargasDecember 27, 2011Don't be fooled by the look of this casual place; the seafood is fantastic & the closest you'll get to fresh-off--the boat seafood in the middle of Manhattan. Go for the Oysters & Maryland blue crab.
Stephanie BurnettJune 7, 2013Blackened halibut,fries, and collared greens delicious! Key lime pie not tart enough for a true key lime pie taste. Service great once you get past ineffective host
Tony XerriFebruary 7, 2012You should always start with the Red, White, and Blue Special. No question. You can honestly fill up with the Twin Tartar and Lobster Mac n Cheese or if you're with a friend you can always do paella.
Kate LotzAugust 24, 2014Fresh, delicious oysters....and for $9 you get a half dozen plus a beer! No brainer right there! Fried oyster sandwich was dynamite as well.
Tanya RobinsonApril 25, 2014You already know @ the red white & blue option. It's available all day & is now $9. But I give props to the great staff & the relatively solid wine list for such a local neighborhood/NYU spot.
Olessya KSeptember 26, 2013Blackened catfish sandwich is the bomb! And of course, $8 for a half a dozen of blue point oysters with a glass of wine - nobrainer
IneseJune 2, 2013This place is so good! Expect a bit of a wait on weekends but they usually seat you quickly. I waiter was great and personable. Try the King Crab Legs for starters!
Lori LuoDecember 13, 2014Their $8 special (half dozen oysters with a glass of red / white or Pabst) is well worth the trip, but don't overlook their excellent burger as well.
Bill CoolJuly 4, 2013Red white and blue special is the best this city has to offer. Try the mussels in garlic butter. Just as well dip your fries in the mussel sauce as well.
Brigitte PerezJuly 7, 2015Seating is very tight. You're basically on top of the next table. Clams casino lobster mac and fried oyster roll was delicious.
Edlin ChoiSeptember 19, 2012Lobster Feast! Add an extra lobster for an awesome and affordable meal for 2. Get the red white and blue appetizer with oysters. Great, casual spot. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Pegah YAugust 13, 2012They have an amazing $22 lobster special which comes with a whole quarter pound lobster with clams, corn, and fries. Also try a cup of their fresh gumbo or clam chowder.
Ryan JosephJanuary 8, 2015Fried Clams are very good! Lobster Shepherd's pie was bubbling hit on the outside, but the inside was stone cold.
Brian StraussMay 20, 2015Great oysters, and reasonably priced stone crabs. Very good lobster salad. Want to come back for the all you can eat crab.
Henriette VittadiniSeptember 9, 2012I have to say, it's amazingly good but the blue point 8 bucks thing sucks, blue point are cheap but don't have any flavour. Get the kummomoto for 2.50 each and enjoy quality instead of quantity!
MarthaMarch 7, 2015fish is great. casual spot and always busy. they offer a great oyster deal so ask about that. food in general is solid.
Marta CamachoAugust 2, 2014This place is amazing! Best oysters, lobsters and crabs 😍 I personally had lot of fun opening dozens of crabs for just 25$ (noon to 4pm)
Marianna MilkisJuly 6, 2015Tricolor deal is insane (half dozen oysters & a glass of wine for a price of a glass of wine) and gumbo is delicious too.
Nikita ZholobovSeptember 9, 2015Really really nice place! Lobster Cobb salad is good) always fresh oysters
Alex KaessAugust 2, 2013Tasty seafood! Horseradish salmon and lobster Mac and cheese are both great, and you can't beat the red white and blue special
Michael ZhongJanuary 3, 2017Portions are huge. Fries are amazing. Fried clams are underwhelming but the soups and lobster dishes are amazing.
Katherine DMay 3, 2011$8 red white & blue special is an incredible deal for ghe hugh quality seafood here. Cool vibe, good music & awesome onion rings too! Plus you can throw your bar peanut shells on the ground :)
Racky RossFebruary 15, 2015Come here and enjoy their oysters ( also try oysters with bacon ), tuna burger and seafood! Awesome!
Aaron RamseyJanuary 22, 2012Got a big group? Do the Red White and Blue special-$8pp glass o wine or beer, & oysters! This is better than any app. they've got on the menu value/deal wise!
Sandra LloydJune 20, 2012Lobster Mac & cheese is the perfect balance btw lightness and cheesiness/lobsteriness. Amazing. Also the oysters are great and the fries are perfect.
- Lears FoolJuly 21, 2015I too am a fan of the Red, White and Blue special. Some of the tastiest cheap oysters I've ever had.
DainaSeptember 27, 2011Of course the Red White and Blue special is amazing. However, the Oyster Rocky is quite good; I'd call it a cross between Rockefeller and Clams Casino on account of the bacon. Yum!
Jason H.March 26, 2016Great specials - nice dish of 6 oysters with a beer for 9 bucks. Good value, good food
Harriet RuffApril 26, 2015Oysters with house sauce. The lobster is also top notch. Recommend the slaw on the side!

"The place, the cocktails, the seafood... Nothing like it. Absolutely amazing. For cocktails, try Coffee, Pear, Cardmon, and Coconut. Food wise, uni toast and tuna/foie gras carpaccio is stunning."

"The restaurant is two doors down from the main shop on Bleecker. I recommend the Cheesemonger plate to share with friends and pretty much everything on the menu!"
