    I go to Crave frequently. I was very disappointed with the service today. I arrived at 4pm and spent an inordinate amount of time trying to catch the eye of my server.

    Crave Fishbar s is a most welcome addition and now my go to place for dining on the UWS especially when craving raw Oysters. Its got the best selection and the best prices for Oysters especially during happy hour. The Oyster selections are curated by an extremely knowledgeable and friendly Oyster Sommelier (didn't even know there was such a thing). Anyone looking for Oysters should ask the Sommelier for his recommendations. In addition to Oysters, the happy hour menu and full menu offer up a variety of great food, and the wait staff are efficient and very friendly. I also appreciate Crave Fishbar's stated support of Oyster restoration projects such as NYC's Billion Oyster project. Although I've sometimes made reservations for a table, I've also had a good time and met some interesting people by just stopping in and slurping oysters at the Bar.

    We were there to celebrate a friend's birthday and it was a great time. Food was great, drinks were so amazing. We will definitely be back. Thank you Joe (or John) for being a great waiter!

    It was one of the best meals I have had in a restaurant in a long time. It was a little pricey for me but well worth it.
