This was an experience that I've wanted to do since I knew I was coming to New York and it did not disappoint! If you love seafood then this is the place to go. I would 100% come here again. The portions are massive and it's very good value for money.

What happened to this place? It used to be so good and good value. Now it's overpriced and the quality has gone down hill. The service and food quality were disappointing. The shrimp were not clean. The lemonade was a mix ( Tasted chemical). For $6 each you would hope it was real lemonade not fake. Oh well. Good luck.

Service was slow and the host was rude. The place was half empty and he wouldn't let us sit down in the main dining area; mind you it was snowing outside and cold. Food was good but they need better staff.

Me and my girlfriend went for the first time to eat at this place, the waitress was very nice and he explained well. The food came very fast and it was very delicious. We couldn't stop talking about the food. We 100% recommend and we're definitely going again.

Great service with friendly and attentive staff. I'd give it all five stars but the gumbo i ordered was a little cold. Apart from that everything else was great. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

The food was average. Nothing spectacular. The peach lemonade was good but I was expecting it to come in a bag and to be more juicy if that makes sense. I wouldn't go back.

Every December we travel to NYC and dine at Aqua Boil! The food is delicious and the happy hour drinks are wonderful! Love this place!!!!!

Beyond excellent! Delicious food, great stellar service, and very low prices for NYC! This place is a must. Even the cole slaw that accompanied my crab cake was exquisite.

Food was delicious and our table of 8 enjoyed every mouthful. Great value for money and the service was 10/10. The music was alittle load especially when we had a person in our party who has hearing problems
Had a terrible experience at the location. We ordered the 5 pounds combo of shrimp, snowcrab leg, and clam with the butter garlic sauce. Everything was a disappointment. The garlic butter sauce tasted like curry. The shrimp was not fresh and had no taste. The crab leg was super dry and overcooked and had absolutely no flavor. Half of the clams were missing the meat and the rest were very salty.
After trying the combo, we reflected the issues with the restaurant and asked for a refund. They immediately took the whole dish away and told us that they don’t do refund. No apologies were given. They simply stated that their food was definitely fresh and no refund would be given. Even if the food had no issue and we were just unsatisfied with the food, it’s a basic decency to show a good attitude. Would advise all friends to avoid.

A great seafood boil place, the people that run it are lovely and its a very quiet and lowkey seafood boil which is quite nice as sometimes it can be very noisy in a seafood boil place.
Spice levels are fantastic options and the sides are delicious. Portions are also generous.
