    I love Crave Fish Bar. I go there a lot. When I went to the new site on the UES the staff even recognized me. That seems to be the problem. The excellent staff from the UWS has been moved to the UES and the new staff on the UWS is not up to par. We had to asked for water to be refilled. We had to waive down the waitress. When we were waiving the Host came over asked what we needed. We thought he was taking the order. He wasn't. He went back to the desk knowing that we were trying to order addition , I said additional food and drink. The food was as good as ever but the service was lack luster and random. I hope UWS takes care of this.

    My girlfriend and I had a great time! The food was delicious! My only complaint would be that the serving size was small. Other than that, we enjoyed our experience there.

    High hopes for a fish restaurant we not met. First, the restaurant looks faded and old ! The food was simple and bland and presented in a very basic way - edible but, nothing to brag about. Would not take guests there for a night out - nothing special here. The orecchiette pasta with calamari and pesto was gloppy and not al denté. And, the stripped bass was so bland and uninteresting that it was disappointing. The side of broccoli was so over cooked and over prepared that it barely tasted like broccoli. The service was rushed and frenetic. Too bad - just being honest!

    We've been here many times and it never fails to satisfy. The seafood is the freshest, the preparations are excellent, and the prices are reasonable.

    Crave has a varied and fresh- focused menu, a casual nautical atmosphere and a welcoming waitstaff. Menu includes everything from sushi to tacos to pasta to fresh fish prepared with different sauces. Portions are generous, food is consistently delicious, and we eat there every time we come to the city.

    Our party of six had a great time! Oysters disappeared quickly, fresh shrimp cocktail, solid Martinis and Manhattans. Bermundi 4x’s was the big hit, cavatelli and trout plates were emptied along with a very generous portion of brussel sprouts. Deserts, carrot cake and banana pudding were shared and yummy. Sunny, attentive service, all-in-all consistent with high expectations.

    Pleased to say I had a much better experience at Crave Fishbar than last time. Service was excellent as server and others collaborated to provide excellent 5 star service. Loved the baked clams ; would love to see them on the regular menu.
