    Superior fish-oriented place with excellent service. Crave is professionally managed and the staff is genuinely kind and well-trained. I had the seared tuna and my wife had a cod dish. Both were delicious. We shared a large slice of carrot cake for dessert, also outstanding. The restaurant could be quieter…why even pump in music, which adds to the noise level. That said, we only had to moderately raise our voices. Of course, expect to spend a goodly sum, this is NYC after all. We had 1 appetizer, 3 glasses of wine, 2 entrees, and 1 dessert. With tip, nearly $200. Hey, you get a great meal at a nice spot in the big city. While a lot, it felt worthwhile.

    We came here for the Oster happy hour. We were seated at a big booth as per request as it was early and they were not that busy yet. The service was attentive. The oysters really good as was the mini martini . The place is a bit dark and I do hope they will have some sidewalk seating as soon as the scaffolding comes down..

    My food was excellent. Only issue was one of us had the grilled cod and thought the portion was small. I would highly recommend Crave Fishbar.
