Fresh seafood, amazing service. This is a great neighborhood spot for everything from casual drinks to dinner with friends. The cocktails are incredible and I highly recommend the linguine clams! It’s become a regular spot!

Quite expensive but decent food. Service is wonderful!! Our waiters were friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome right away. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite measure up.
The mushroom pasta is tasty but too oily, making it feel heavy. The focaccia and lamb chops are good and well-cooked, but they’re not impressive enough to justify the high prices. The fries and cheese balls? Not worth it and better skipped.
Overall, the food is decent but overpriced. The excellent service makes a visit worthwhile, but I don't think I'd go back often.

The only fancy thing about this place is the pricing, not the service or the food.
Whole night the servers grabbed our water glasses (for some reason they decided to use short sangria glasses for water) by the lip line with four fingers and moved around dishes on table.

Of all the great food served here, the oysters stood out; fresh, succulent and absolutely delicious. The lobster bisque came close second. So was the linguine clamps, with a unique tasting sauce. The lady serving us was really friendly and very helpful in recommendations. Others are just as attentive. The ambience was classy, not typical of restaurant deco in this part of Brooklyn. Highly recommended for a romantic evening out, or just for a pleasant intimate dining experience.

The service was beyond slow yet they had many staff members working. I never been in a restaurant for 3 hours without eating. We had a party of 14 so they prepared a prie fixe menu for us. The food was bland & tasteless. They forgot the alcohol in the alcoholic drinks. The only thing that you were able to get to eat without waiting forever was the raw bar which they couldn't mess up because it was raw. They kept pouring sparkling water & flat water while we waited 3hrs for our menu to be served. They didn't serve bread, rolls, crackers or any thing to munch on while we waited. The octopus was like rubber. The crab cakes had no crab I thought it was a hushpuppy. The lamb chops were overcooked. They never asked us how we wanted it cooked. They all came out the same. The branzino was fresh tasting with no seasoning & very very little. We all left the restaurant hungry & had to spend more money to eat. The prie fixe was $85 pp & 2 drinks with 20% tip was $45. Overall this was not a good dining experience & I would not recommend this establishment .

Lady and I had a fabulous time, wine, drink and food at Siren! Each staff member was friendly, prompt and attentive...from the head chef to our sweet oyster shucker!
Had the Chef's Choice Oysters, and then the Chef's Course main meal...a delectable offering and choices.
Highly recommend Siren!

I’m in love with this place. Atmosphere is amazing - romantic, calm, peaceful. Food is absolutely delicious. Had crab cakes, mushroom pasta and octopus. Every dish is spectacular - cheers to the chef. Oyster happy hour is awesome - $1.50. Carlos is an awesome bartender. Jennifer is an amazing pastry chef and oyster chopper. Thank you so much for an experience and I will definitely come back

I recently visited for their oyster happy hour, which was the only highlight of the meal—great oysters. However, everything else was a disappointment in terms of value and quality. We ordered the Hamachi Crudo ($24), which didn't taste as fresh as expected. The Octopus dish was just one tentacle, cut into 4-5 small pieces, and definitely not worth the $23 price. The Fritto Misto ($20) had only a few pieces, and the Bronzino ($38) was particularly disappointing—dry and lacking in flavor.
If you're just after oysters, this place might be worth a visit. But for everything else, the prices are too steep for the portion sizes and the quality. Overall, I left feeling underwhelmed.

Best seafood restaurant! Best oysters in the world ?. Chef Suarez is a master in the kitchen. All the food they serve is of great quality. All the dishes they have are delicious. The service is impeccable. I recommend you this restaurant, you will not regret it.

A very pleasant experience, I love the food, from the appetizers, main courses, desserts?But the Oysters ? are another level, Thanks to Jenni for her good preparation and recommendation on the oysters, and to Javier Suarez the chef ?? Super recommended.

Oysters weren’t the freshest (with some even tasting foul). Drinks were decent but overpriced for what they offer. There’s an older male waiter/busboy who made the dining experience uncomfortable. He’d circle back every 1-2 mins while we were in the middle of eating our meal, and nowhere close to finishing soon.

I had high hopes for this place, especially since we don't have many seafood options in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I spent $100 per person on dinner, and while the servers tried their best, they lacked professionalism and attentiveness—we had to wait for everything.
As for the food, it was a mixed experience. The fried seafood dish was overly salty, and the mushroom pasta was oddly sweet—I've never had sweet pasta before. The octopus dish and bread pudding were okay, but not enough to make up for the overall experience. I'm sorry to say, I won't be returning.
