The restaurant is beautiful. We enjoyed the West Coast oysters, which we kept reordering. Whatever we ordered was delicious. Service is top notch.

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.

I so wanted to love Crave, as the neighborhood needs a good fish based restaurant; sadly, I didn’t. There was no one at the front desk when I walked in, it was several minutes before a hostess walked over to me and said “your guest is already in the back” ( and no, I was not escorted to the table). The menu is interesting, but I found the food over-dressed.. The seasoning of the spicy tuna roll was overwhelming, I couldn’t taste the tuna. Fortunately I ordered the excellent Brussel sprouts with sauce on the side, because the chorizo sauce was cloying. My guest’s fish (ordered well) was raw. And despite the restaurant being less than half full, it was really noisy.
