Janut SuchatoJune 15, 2018Seafood plate is good and fresh. Sushi and easy appetizer like calamari is also excellent.
meganDecember 19, 2016The branzino is best! Save room for the ice cream sandwiches. P.S. It's noises as hell.
The Corcoran GroupMay 21, 2010The freshest oysters we’ve had in the city. Also ask for the “special” burger. It’s not on the menu and its spectacular.
Lexie RamageOctober 15, 2013The creamy mustard sauce that comes with the shrimp cocktail is AMAZING! And I don't like mustard...so get it.
Nicholas M.October 30, 2017Cameron and de lancellotti. Cauliflower side. Whole Dover sole v good. Scallops good.
Doug JonesNovember 17, 2011The sushi and seafood are excellent. Perhaps unexpectedly, they also have a really good burger (or so I've heard). Ask for the Bash Burger.
Paolo BaroneMarch 22, 2019Really enjoyed this place! Great food, perfect service. We'll definitely be back
Andrew BC 翁 ÔNGJanuary 3, 2015Great happy hour + fabulous service + friendly + humble. What's more do you expect from here ?- Frank DieboldSeptember 27, 2014If you order a seafood entree, try the steamed red snapper with bok choy and red curry sauce
2 Dine OutJanuary 31, 2012Lure Fishbar may be one of the best destinations for oysters in the city, serving an attractive menu that includes: Blue Point (Long Island) $3, Island Creek (Massachusetts) ... Read more
Sergey NazarovApril 20, 2012Great decor and the off the menu "batch burger" is hands down the best in the city. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Bin YangMay 4, 2012Tempura Shrimp and crispy calamari are fantastic. Sushi is fresh and make sure you save some space for dessert!
Angelina ZeppieriDecember 31, 2016Delicious. Cool setting, feels like you're on a boat. Get the octopus- Champs and sushi: Schramsberg 🥂 and dragon / hellfire rolls 🍣, to be exact. 😘
Taylor LorenFebruary 13, 2013This underground gem is decorated to make you feel like you're on some luxury cruise boat or something. Nautical chic.
Nicole VallesDecember 24, 2016Ridiculously busy and they sat us 30 mins after our reservation for 2 but the food was top notch. Freshest lobster I've ever had!
Dario Garcia-CarracedoApril 24, 2012fish/sushi raw bar, that's great...but just order the award winner Bash burguer with bacon jam...simply delicious.
Melody GambinoAugust 22, 2014Order the "off the menu burger" hands down my fave cheeseburger in nyc.
Kaity ChanAugust 7, 2014Decor and interior looks amazing. Fit for the type of food they offer. Nice place in soho.
Greg Wong 🎯March 27, 2013Offers $1 littleneck clams and $1.50 oysters daily from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Cheap white wine glasses. Opt for Mon-Wed for a smaller crowd.
Michael McDermottJune 17, 2014Wow wow wow ! The sushi is off the hook. BUT who expected the best burger in NYC????
Marie La RueMay 27, 2017Food selection was great. Unfortunately they messed up our order sequence (who eats oysters as a main?!) and service was pretty much non existent after that
the private side room: it's much quieter for meetings in there. and my most favorite dish: the lobster tail.
Christian ArcaSeptember 30, 2012Try the steamed cod with ponzu, scallions, and oyster mushrooms! Great sashimi as well.
NicoleJanuary 17, 2013The secret menu "Brash Burger" is really as good as everyone says. However, food here is definitely on the pricey side.
Matty CitoNovember 7, 2018Great brunch. Definitely a more mellow scene than peak Soho chique evenings
Carissa VaughnJune 23, 2012Everything here is incredibly amazing!!!!! Except for the ice cream sandwiches....don't waste your time on those!!!!
Rollin LeeJuly 16, 2015The food is great and the seafood is fresh. But they need more staff since it took us 20 minutes to get the bill and an hour to get our food.
Nayef AlghamdiJanuary 1, 2013If you get here you must order the fried oyster appetizer it's out of this world. WOW
Norman EllisAugust 16, 2013Try the Seared Scallop Special - I asked for extra rolls to sop up the broth. Delish!! #foodporn
LogoTVMarch 15, 2011“Happy hour Monday – Friday with $8 dollar drinks and tasting plates of some of their best aps and entrees! Get there early to get a booth!” – Renee, Setup Squad
Rebecca MazzaDecember 10, 2015The bash burger is as good as the hype. Even makes for great leftovers
John SantosFebruary 12, 2010There are 2 burgers on the menu, and the best burger in new York winner that is off the menu. Features bacon jam. Best in ny, I don't think so. But still good.
If you're a walk in, avoid the maître d’ (the grey hair gentleman) he's a condescending prick. Food, service and bar staff are great.
