“As we were greeted as soon as we came in by a very lovely lady at the front counter, we were immediately seated with the waiter, coming out very promptly and taking care of every knee. As soon as something was finished it was removed as soon as you needed something they were right there some of the best service I’ve ever had in my life. It’s hard to find and the food is absolutely amazing. Is one of the best nights I’ve had out at dinner and well over a year year.“
“We dropped in for an early dinner to try this restaurant close to home. The flavors were amazing. We had catfish bites and pear salad as starters and fried chicken and gumbo as the entrees. Everything was perfectly prepared. We met the owner who was very welcoming. The space is not very big so reservations are recommended if you plan to dine in.“
“I really enjoyed my evening out at this joint. The food was on point; well seasoned and expertly prepared. The staff exuded warmth and were very attentive. And a nice vibe and feel to the place. The only minor issue was (a) the seating is a bit tight and (b) it was a bit noisy. I would have given 4 1/2 stars instead of 4 but that's not an available option. I unreservedly recommend! And if you fail to try their grilled oysters...well, that will be your eternal loss LOL.“
“First time there yesterday..the place is beautiful. The food was OK. Our waiter Jonathan C was awesome!! The blue crab doesn’t need the powdered sugar on top. The alligator bites batter was too salty and the cornbread was on the dry side….half a loaf is only 2 small slices for $8…not cool. And last but not least, the bread pudding should have been warm and the caramel sauce taste burnt. I will still give it a 8 out of 10 rating.“
“Everything here was delicious! We got here just in time for the oyster happy hour (5:30-6:30 pm) so the oysters were half off! We also got these croquette appetizers and they were on the smaller side but man were they delicious! My bf said he can down 10 of them if he had the option to. The oysters were fresh and smooth. We ordered the surf n turf po boy and a small order of creole gumbo. We also received a panna cotta dessert and it was so smooth and rich. Highly recommend this spot!“
“Worth the wait and the hype - usually no wait during quieter hours but be sure to reserve during peak times - the food was delicious and fresh, cooked perfectly with a deliciously famous Capt Loui seasoning - be sure to load up on the seafood for extra flavor in the boil, addd garlic noodles and some homemade lemonade for the full experience “
“My family took me here for my birthday and we had a wonderful time! The staff was very attentive and the food was served quickly. Everything on the menu was tasty, it was hard to stop ordering. We had such a great experience we’re planning on celebrating different birthdays here! I would highly recommend this place if you love seafood!“
“One of the best seafood boils you can hope for!We were visiting NYC for 10 days, and I'm glad we found this place on our fourth day.It was soooo good that we had to go there twice!The people are so nice too.I've been back home for 3 days now, and I'm already craving their food.It's definitely recommended.“
“Today I came to hook& reel got served by Josue first and fore most I wanted to say I had an amazing first experience, josue had a great joyful attitude , always attentive to his customers. I would highly recommend this establishment ! Looking forward to Coming back thank you !!“
“Hands down, the greatest sea food boil around. I'll drive 30 minutes to Capt loui even though there's several other companies way closer to me. It's just that good. Service, food, cleanliness, the staff... everything is top notch, never once left without being completely satisfied. If I could give more stars I would, 10/10 experience every time ?“
“It was good for NYC. But as someone who has been to NOLA it doesn’t compare. They were packed but service was still fast. Food was fresh; it was just the sauces that weren’t as good as I’ve had in other places. They did pack the bag full though!!“
“We got there around 945 right before the kitchen closed, we ordered fast and got the lobster, soft shell crab basket , king crab, Mac n cheese and garlic bread, Cajun fries , mussels, ordered all rhe seafood with the boil sauce which is a mix of all of them definitely go with that and don’t need to order extra sauce, came with potatoes and corn, the drinks were that great but the service was fast, it was super busy, classic seafood/cajun vibe“
“A lovely dinner Hubby and my Son , Ryan and his beautiful wife Emily at his new Restaurant “Canary Club” the food was amazing , wonderful service it felt like the chef was giving us our own personal tasting ! Every dish was delicious and always with great presentation. Such a cozy and eclectic spot with a New Orleans flair ! I would highly suggest if you go to New York City make sure you stop bye and enjoy this rare gem.......“
“Absolutely delicious and authentic Chinese food. I was invited to this restaurant by my Chinese boss and he ordered most of the food. I was blown away by just about everything we ordered as I have never heard of most of these dishes. They were all amazing, with the exception of stinky tofu. If you’ve never had it before, you probably shouldn’t risk it as it’s a definite acquired taste. I will be back here to explore more dishes“
“Stopped in 1803 for lunch while I was downtown. The staff was friendly and super helpful.I ordered the Catfish Sandwich that came with friends. The Catfish was flavorful with their house chili sauce. I wish the bread wasn’t so thick for the amount of meat.Interested in trying some of the other options on the menu, but overall had a good experience.“
“when i came here gustavo was very nice, very accommodating & made my dine in a wonderful time. when you come here make sure hes there! ill definitely be coming back again & again & again! food was seasoned perfectly, the all you can eat was AMAZING. strawberry margarita was top notch! id highly recommend!!!!!“
“First time at this Restaurant and we were greeted right away with a friendly hello. It seems like an average Chinese restaurant. They do make Hibachi style food here as well.We ordered Mumbo sauce wings and Honey/Old Bay sauce wings. They both were delicious! The fried shrimp was breaded and cooked to perfection! The added cocktail and tarter sauces on the side was appeasing to the pallet as well!We also had the fried rice (which contains eggs) and that was ok.The prices on their Menu is very reasonable! You get alot of food for your money.We did have to wait some time for our order and it did start to get a little busy when we were waiting, but all in all, it was worth the wait!Check out Hi Good Stuff in Clifton! It is a MUST try!!We will be returning here again to try their Boil Seafood Bags that they have!???“

“Crab Island exceeded all expectations with their delightful Cajun seafood offerings and exceptional service. Despite high anticipation, every dish surpassed our hopes, bursting with authentic flavors that transported us to the heart of Cajun cuisine. The friendly staff added to the warmth of the experience, offering knowledgeable recommendations and ensuring our every need was met with a smile. From the perfectly seasoned boils to the succulent grilled seafood, every bite was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to quality. Without a doubt, Crab Island stands as a beacon of Cajun culinary excellence, deserving of every praise.“
“For my birthday today, I made the decision to go to this restaurant. I was rather happy. It was my first time, and I'm happy that I chose this location. A perfect ten. There was an aura. The cuisine was excellent. The beverages were adorable. The interior of the restaurant is lovely. I got my dinner fast and the service was very courteous to me and my family. I'll be back very soon!“
“Best seafood boil in the area. I used to go to Captn Loui on Main Street, which is still a solid establishment, until I found this place. This seafood boil in my opinion is slightly better than the competition in the area generally.There is often no wait at all here so it’s easy to get a table. The staff is attentive and helpful in answering questions. Overall it’s a go to spot for me and I recommend it!Dietary restrictions: Most things are gluten free by nature of the food“
“During our stay we had planned to go to a Cajun restaurant, the kind of unmissable...And I must say that I am very happy with my find, it's great taste-wise, we loved it... On the other hand, the atmosphere of the restaurant, the decor... No interest.... A large, poorly used space ... No soul... And also the volume of the music like a disco, we could hardly hear each other speak.... It's really a shame because the food is divine... but that's what I I have the impression that it's really an American delusion....they turn the sound on loud everywhere, it's unbearable....in short....if the cooking had only been acceptable I would have turned it to zero everywhere just for this detail....hoping that my opinion will make sense ??♂️“
“My fav Cajun Seafood spot !!I’ve been here many times and never once has it disappointed me. The seafood is fresh, large portions and very delicious! Absolutely love the decor and the staff is friendly. Plenty of room to gather with friends and family and also watch a sports event on the large screen.“
“I rarely write a review but I have been obsessed with Crab Du Jour since they opened in Harlem. My experience here has been delightful from the food to the friendly and attentive staff members who make customers feel right at home. If you are a seafood lover who’s in the mood for mouth-watering authentic Cajun dishes that won't break the bank, look no further than Crab Du Jour in Harlem; just steps away from the hustle and bustle of 125th Street. Their signature boils are an absolute must-try! They offer a variety of options like Crawfish, Shrimp, Snow Crab legs, Dungeness Crabs and Lobster Tail – all cooked to perfection! Each boil comes with potatoes and corn on the cob and your choice of classic garlic butter, lemon pepper, and the original Cajun or Crab du jour special, sauce. I usually add sausage to my boil; Yummy! Looking for something other than boils, there are plenty of choices! They offer dishes like po’ boys sandwiches which come with fried oysters or fried fish filets. My friend really likes the crispy chicken po’boy. They also offer fried shrimp baskets, or crab cake baskets, just to name a few. Regardless of what you choose off the menu here, you can be sure that it will be delicious and flavorful every single time!“
“Was a little nervous after reading some not so good reviews about their customer service and watching some TikTok reviews.... However I still decided to give them a try...walk in the place was empty but it was in the evening and just finish raining. The worker in the front was cool and helpful he gave me some suggestions which helped me make some of my decisions. Once my order was complete the cook came out with my order to explain which each meal was before packing it away which was sweet and helpful because it allowed me to take the pictures I needed since I was taking my food to go. Everything was tasty except for the tender meal with the mash and corn that was my least favorite. The fries were also too soft for my liking wish they were a little more crisper. I may or may not visit again but I do suggest you stop by and check them out for yourself. Ambiance: 4/10 Food: 8/10 Customer Service: 10/10“
“Me and my friends went here on Christmas for dinner and were sooo happy we did! The owner is incredibly kind and welcomed us an hour before close and even remade our togo order after one of our friends accidentally threw it away ? Will def be back! Food is so good, slushy drinks are so “
“I love this spot so so so so so much! We order nearly every weekend for takeout delivered to us. I love their Oolong milk tea, Strawberry slush and Passion Fruit Tea. Their lychee slush is not too sweet, just right for those who prefers lighter tastes. Their seafood boil is flavorful and fresh! I love the Garlic Butter sauce, but would love to try their other sauce too. Their fried lobster ball is literally a ball of lobster meat!!! So delicious! Almost every weekend, I would always order drinks from them. I have tried Oolong milk tea from many places, but only this one will always be my favorite because it always tastes perfect.Sometimes, their website would have some kind of update and we wouldn't be able to order through online to get the drinks delivered. But whenever we call to ask if they deliver to our address, the staff would tell us that they can deliver. The problem on their website will always be quickly fixed so that we can enjoy their wonderful service again!This is one of the best locations. I highly recommend this place!“
“10 stars!!! Excellent customer service Amazing quality of food. Everything was cooked well and delivered as promised. Definitely will be supporting this business in the future!! My family in Brooklyn was extremely happy and satisfied with their dinner for Thanksgiving today Thanks so much for everything!“
“Had the catfish poboy at uptown night Market! They told me 15 minutes was done in 15 minutes. It was a large fried catfish filet and it was perfectly crispy. I think the tartar sauce may have needed a little more salt but overall great experience. Reminded me of Louisiana“
“I ordered Doordash and my food came so quick! It was fresh and the fried shrimp was still crispy and you can tell it's good quality shrimp. The Cajun fries were bomb! They sent me 4 different sauces and coleslaw with my order :) VERY happy with my decision to order from here.“
“Delicious food and glad to find them open at 6pm on Christmas Eve. I left over $10 tip on a $46 bill and yet my card statement shows an overcharge! My handwriting is legible, so urging other patrons to compare their receipts to the statements and report any overcharges.“
“Saveur Creole is a pleasant place i highly recommend you, whether you would like to spend time with friends, and family you can also plan professional meetings there. The service is second to none, the foods are delicious and the atmosphere is so cool .“

“The place is wonderful I had so much fun eating with my brother we had lunch together and it was so good and the food is not that expensive. I would recommend this place to everyone.The lady who is the server is so nice and gives you good energy when she is taking your order.“
“Finally a great fish market in our area, where you can get sushi grade fish, local catch and great shellfish. love the fish monger and coming from one of the biggest fishing ports in italy I know that’s a tough job and it takes a lot of work and dedication to offer a decent variety of fresh fish.My fluke was extremely fresh and perfect for a carpaccio/sashimi, mussels were also great and so it was the fillet of monkfish.Keep up the good work!!!thanks!!!“
