The best raw bar , so fresh
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolutely incredible NYC dining experience!
There are so many restaurants in NYC, but Strange Delight is one you genuinely do NOT want to miss. From the food and drinks to the service and hospitality, everything about our experience was phenomenal.
We started with the Old Fashioned and Vieux Carré, and both drinks were outstanding. For an appetizer, we ordered the smoked fish dip — and WOW. Absolutely incredible. It was so good...read full review

Strange Delight is a restaurant that serves fresh and delicious seafood, with a focus on shared plates that allow guests to savor the flavors of New Orleans. Standout dishes include the hush puppies with trout roe, charbroiled oysters, and BBQ shrimp. The complimentary bread is perfect for dipping into the rich BBQ sauce, and the shrimp basket comes with tasty fries. The cocktails, such as the spicy margaritas and the unique Curious George cocktail, are popular among customers.
Be sure to try the complimentary bread pudding, which is a highlight of the meal. The seafood gumbo, although a small portion for the price, is well-liked for its amazing flavor. While the restaurant can be on the pricy side, with some dishes like the Fried Shrimp Loaf receiving mixed reviews, the overall dining experience is enhanced by exemplary service. The Blackened Swordfish Belly and the fish dip have received praise for their deliciousness.
Note that the portions of add-ons, like crabmeat, may be small for the price. Overall, Strange Delight is a nice, swanky restaurant with some exceptional dishes, but the value may vary for different customers.
