A true hidden gem! The waterfront location is beautiful, and the calamari is the best I’ve ever had. Kymberly is an exceptional waitress—warm, attentive, and makes a fantastic espresso martini. She makes you feel like family. I love everything about this place—the food, the atmosphere, and the drinks (even if they’re a bit on the pricey side).

The food was amazing! But the service had something to be desired. We had to wait an hour for our entree. But it was really amazing 🤩! And it’s right off the beach.

We went here for lunch on a beautiful day outside. Me my husband and my friend and her little girl. We went for lunch. We ordered two salads off the lunch menu with shrimp on them a heroe sandwich and and pasta for the baby with nothing on it not even butter. One virgin Pina colada and a beer.They charged me $13.95 for a half penne for a child with nothing on it. $19 for eight shrimp. And it took over an hour to get the food, they were having a party but this was simple food. I told the people never again and they just talked about inflation and they offered nothing to satisfy my anger about this bill. It was $126 for lunch for four people! $150 with tip. If you go there DO NOT 🚫 customize anything. They will nickel and dime you to death!!! Order AS IS only.

Nice place by the water, our waitress was nice too. Appetizers were great but I got the stuffed rigatoni w steak and it was very bland.

I’m a photographer and I was looking for a restaurant/Café with nice outdoor seating so I could do a quick branding session for an event planner. I just needed to take some photos of her working at the table and they were gracious enough to let me use the outdoor area while it was slow and rearrange the chairs and table how I wanted. Very nice staff and the restaurant and food was delicious. Not to mention it’s in a very nice area of Staten Island and it’s right on the beach so after you have your meal, you could take a walk on the beach.

Coral Bay! You will like it. I started with their Blue Point Oysters on the half shell. Excellent! They are my favorite oyster with a mild brine and traditionally served over ice with horse radish, tabasco, lemon, and cocktail sauce. Sorry I dove into them so quickly that there isn't a pic of them...lol My entrée was a combination platter of shrimp, filet of sole, and scallops all oreganata accompanied by a vegetable risotto. The oreganata had a slight bright lemony flavor that perfectly complimented the seafood. Superb.

I found this place on Google maps and brought my fiancée one day to try it out. The weather was perfect to sit outside and we arrived before it got crowded. We had an amazing time. Our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable. Our food was delicious and our time spent was delightful. This place is a real gem, my fiancée and I have been telling everyone we know about it since.

Best hidden gem on the island. Food is ridiculously good, atmosphere is great and service was wonderful. It’s a little pricey but 100% worth it.

Ordered the fried soft shell crabs, after I asked if they were fresh or frozen. I was told they were fresh. If they were fresh, they unfortunately were spongy not crispy. I will go back and order try something else.

Zero complaints regarding food quality, service, and atmosphere. The coral bay shrimp is delicious, but be wary of the specials. They charged me $60 for a stuffed bone-in veal chop special. Stick to the menu.
