Our first time at Crave UES. The oysters- both East and West Coast- were refreshing and superb; the spicy yellowtail roll was silky and delicious as was the salmon taco! The service was first rate. All in all, a terrific dining experience— on the Upper East Side, which was a delightful surprise!

Food was very good and service was excellent! Our waitress ended her shift in the middle of our meal but she was beyond accommodating to our requests before she left. Would definitely go back.
