- Halstead PropertyOctober 8, 2013Walk into this seafood restaurant for oyster heaven. We especially loved slurping the Kumamoto Oysters with their sweet and succulent taste. Can’t wait to try even more of their variety next time!
- Алена AlenaMay 1, 2016We had to wait quite a while ( 40 mins ) for food , but eventually it was worth it . Oysters are so great you'd ask for more . Deserts are heavenly . And everything is fair priced .
- Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014This long-running downtown seafood spot was conceived as a counterweight to the ponderous Oyster Bar at Grand Central, a looser and hipper spot where the number of raw oysters offered was impressive. Read more
- Lori LuoAugust 11, 2014Aquagrill serves some of the best seafood dishes to be found in the city, from their oyster plates, to seafood towers, to the Crabmeat Eggs Benedict at brunch. Make reservations in advance!
- DipikaSeptember 26, 2014Our server was amazing! Very accommodating for vegetarians. Bread is delicious. I got gazpacho soup, a fettuccini w pesto and tomatoes, and of course lots of wine!
- Tasting TableAugust 5, 2014A fantastic place to belly up to the bar to try as many oysters as you can (especially during happy hour when they go for $1 a piece). Read more
- Lea CeasrineMay 22, 2015Had my graduation lunch here and tried my first oyster! It was okay, but what really stuck out was the tuna tartar, fried teriyaki, and wild salmon! And of course, dessert.
- Lauren SmithFebruary 19, 2015If you're craving delicious oysters, sit at the bar, order a manhattan and grab a few west coast options. Sweet, delicious - Kumamoto is obvious, a special called Jenny's Point (i think?) surprised
- Jacob d.LokalistAugust 9, 2012Just walk in and grab a seat at the bar (else u need reservations). Plates are great, but I go there for the oysters -best selection in town. 2-3 doz at a time and some martinis to wash it down, mmmm
- The best sea food in NYC. Oysters are a must, get Belons if they have them. The truffle crusted Cod may be the best seas food dish I have ever had.
- Lindsay CApril 18, 2016Seafood lover's paradise! Crab, shrimp, oysters, lobster & tons of fresh fish. Whether you choose raw bar, signature classic or a special, Aquagrill is sure to impress.
- Наталия ИвановаOctober 25, 2018Very tasty food - tuna was good) and a big variety of oysters ) if u like seafood you have to visit this place
- Caroline SchulweisAugust 1, 2016Get the miso glazed Chilean sea bass! Skip the falafel crusted salmon.
- Ana AlanisNovember 10, 2014Don't miss the Mackerel tartare with truffle oil special. Heaven in your mouth! If it's not on the menu anymore just ask for it!
- Dr LAugust 24, 2013This is the most diverse oyster menu I've even seen and easily the best in nyc. Great date night sitting in a more quiet back section of the restaurant
- Sam CusanoJuly 19, 2015I could give you a list of what to order but would never want to take away the joy of experiencing a menu that tempts you in many ways. Explore everything under the sea – for its seafood heaven.
- Marjorie CAugust 12, 2013Truffled polenta was outrageously delicious & addictive. Soft shell crab salad was yummers as were the fresh oysters (East Coast!). Skip the Bloody Mary though as that was just disappointing.
- Paul KardousJuly 12, 2015Great seafood and a wonderful place for oysters. Sit at the bar and get great recommendations from the bartender who knows her stuff.
- Valentin GuerinMarch 18, 2016Aquagrill was a great surprise, food is great! Try the crispy cod cakes, and the grilled Atlantic salmon with falafel crust.
- Karen MosqueraApril 28, 2015Try the grill Mediterranean Bronzino. It's so delicious, right at the perfect point. 🐟🍛. Try the oysters too! Wow, so yummy!
- Matty CitoJune 3, 2017Amazing Tartare and Specials, loved the every oyster platter for 3 as well. and 'Damn the bread.....'
- Alice NamMay 5, 2016Best kumamoto place I've been to. Appetizers were all delicious, but entrees weren't great
- Ilona GlazMay 3, 2015Never had a bad meal here! Great service at the bar! Stacy is the best bartender there is! The only downside side is the hostess Nora is very rude.
- Halstead PropertyAugust 4, 2011Aquagrill has lovely seating outdoors if that’s your cup of tea, and the service is attentive and unobtrusive. We were awed by the falafel-crusted salmon, and the raw bar was a nice surprise.
- Sasha BastonAugust 19, 2014Best seafood in manhattan! Innovative dishes, classy establishment, treat yo self!
- KarimaMarch 13, 2016The Chilean sea bass and oysters were fantastic, but our waiter was extremely pushy with the specials to the point of being rude...it marred an otherwise lovely dining experience
- Finish In 4May 26, 2012The Seared Peppered Tuna Carpaccio was light and delicious. The assorted bread basket was also a very good. Will come back soon WITH friends in tow.
- The Official "Finish In 4" PageJune 15, 2012The Seared Peppered Tuna Carpaccio was light and delicious. The assorted bread basket was also very good. Will come back soon WITH friends in tow.
- David WilsonAugust 23, 2013Excellent seafood! The apple crisp tart for dessert was really good, small for the price but it is a place of quality over size.
- Irina PerfectMay 23, 2012One of the biggest selection of oysters in town. Always fresh and delicious. Every New Yorker who is a sea food lover knows about this place.
- May N.April 11, 2011Yummy chilean sea bass! Sat @the bar for dinner. Rachel was fantastic! Great hospitality. Knew her stuff from food to wine. Comp treats kept coming too...moscato, dessert. Great experience.
- Nastya SummerJune 8, 2017Very nice place, polite staff, fast service, tasty and high-quality food. Would recommend this place
- Best oyster bar I have ever known, with typically 30 varieties.
- In a neighborhood of average-nice restaurants all trying desperately to be a cut above, this one actually is *that* good. Oysters and nightly specials are highly recommended.
- Jeff WooNovember 7, 2010Freshest Oysters! Get the Blue Point, La St. Simon, Raspberry Point & Canoe Lagoon. The truffle crusted cod is also a must try. It's one of my favorite NYC restaurants
- This place can be busy on Friday & Saturday nights. Try their Jalapeño Quencher cocktail while you wait to be seated. Perfectly sweet & spicy.
- StephanySeptember 9, 2018Miso Chilean sea bass was amazeballs. Also oysters. Lots and lots of oysters ;-)
- dee deeDecember 6, 2014Everything is great!! It's a nice dressy casual spot. Great for drinks and late night diner
- Song SungAugust 17, 2017Try one of the daily specials in the bottom right corner of the menu - you won't be disappointed!

- Jess KonoMay 6, 2017The decor is a little tacky and outdated but food and service is fantastic! The seafood is so fresh.
- Raymond MannSeptember 18, 2013Everything was excellent. The fish is delicious. Don't forget dessert. Mango tart is ridiculous.
- DaveMay 15, 2015For the freshest oysters, stick to east coast. The roasted grapefruit dessert is on another level.
- Joao Veloso JrJune 15, 2019Nice quality sandwiches. The salmon BLT rocks. It could accept Apple Pay.
