Blue Seafood Bar and Eatery

The seafood platter for 2 was huge, full with deliciousness. We liked the salmon and octopus best but the whole meal was tasty.Great atmosphere and service.

Celebrated a friend’s birthday with some delicious food and great ambience. Service was great. Not a single complaint. Would definitely recommend as well as go back. Had the risotto and tuna steak with octopus and ceviche for appetizers. Bread and olive oil served too.

Blue seafood bar and eatery is beautiful to come to at the time of 6:00 pm because during the dinner the ambiance changes to the evening ambiance. It is a beautiful environment, nice bar, and excellent food. It is worthwhile to come here even as early as 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to enjoy the happy hour during the week ‼️

I discovered Blue Seafood Bar by googling best seafood places to take parents for dinner in New York City, and it did not disappoint. The charm and rustic ambiance captivated us as soon as we walked in. Once seated, we were warmly greeted by our server, Fernanda, who set the tone for an exceptional dining experience.The menu offers something for everyone, but we were particularly drawn to the seafood tower, knowing it would delight my mother. I indulged in the lobster eggs Benedict, and we shared a side of grilled vegetables that were cooked to perfection. The starter bread, served with flaky salt, oil, balsamic, and an exquisite anchovy-based dip, tasted like it was baked fresh by someones grandma in the back.The clientele seemed like regulars, fostering a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Fresh clams and oysters on ice greet you at the entrance, assuring the freshness of the seafood. The seafood tower was the highlight, with an array of dipping options including vinegar, cocktail sauce, Tabasco, lemon, and an unforgettable lemon aioli. This aioli paired perfectly with the chilled seafood and the potatoes that came with my lobster Benedict. The eggs were cooked to perfection—perfectly runny inside but fully cooked whites, a rare feat for many restaurants.The open kitchen allowed us to watch our food being prepared, adding to the overall vibe. Plus-size friendly, the seating was comfortable with adjustable chairs and a cozy booth in the back where we sat. The molten lava cake for dessert was a must-try, brought out piping hot with fresh berries. They sang happy birthday to my mom in a delightful yet unobtrusive manner.Our fantastic experience was largely thanks to Fernanda (pictured in the review) and the other staff members. If I could give Fernanda a 10 out of 5, I would! I highly recommend Blue Seafood Bar and Eatery —5 out of 5 stars!

The staff was absolutely wonderful.They did not rush us through the meal. Checked on us without being intrusive. The food was served in a timely manner and was delicious.We all enjoyed our meals and drinks.

We went to Blue Seafood Bar and Eatery after a Broadway show on November 10, 2024. We were celebrating my birthday. I had the Salmon entree. It was delicious. The Salmon seemed fresh. The capers, butter, and lemon sauce were perfectly tart and tangy. The service was AMAZING. The atmosphere seemed to be mostly locals; I live in Hell’s Kitchen as well. I would recommend this restaurant, but I must warn you: DO NOT ORDER THE OYSTERS! We got the plate that sampled two of each type of oyster on the menu at $56.00. I am no oyster connoisseur. I have only in my life had fresh oyster from the Gulf of Mexico in Texas. Blue Seafood’s oysters were tasteless globs of …. well, I. am at a loss of words just as the oysters are at a loss of flavor. I ate a few, just to be kind. I don’t want to write anymore about that horrible experience. But I must repeat: our server was amazing, and very knowledgeable. Our entrees were superb. Just remember: DO NOT ORDER THE OYSTERS! (in my opinion),

The food is good, but not top-notch. Otherwise, its a perfect restaurant for a cozy evening.

Went here for a solo date. It wasn’t particularly busy, yet service still took quite some time to get everything out. For such a small space, I had some difficulty trying to get my server’s attention.Besides that, the oysters were delicious, my cocktail was refreshing, but the bread trio was just ok. However, still an enjoyable experience and my meal was tasty enough.

Brilliant. Beautiful marble bar. Decor reminiscent of Paris. Delightful menu. I had the Linguine with Clam and was transported. The happy hour special of bubbles with a dozen oysters is a treat. I will be back numerous times to sample the rest of the menu. Euro, special, specific and sublime. Service. Perfect.

I had an amazing lunch at Blue today! As soon as you step in, it’s almost like you’re not in Manhattan anymore - the decor inside is beautiful and charming, and the service is extremely personable and attentive. Upon talking to my waiter more, we found out that the restaurant is a sister to Medi Wine bar and Giardino. I ordered the Lunch Prix Fixe with a Manhattan Clam Chowder and a Cheeseburger. The clam chowder was excellent with fresh clams and beautifully toasted bread as an accompaniment. The burger was insanely juicy and well-cooked, and came with crispy fries. Others at my table ordered the Fish and Chips and the Linguine with Clams. All were freshly prepared and delicious. I will definitely be returning to Blue for some of the freshest food in the city, and a beautiful transport away from the city conveniently in Hell’s Kitchen.

Wow! Such an amazing restaurant. We were greeted by such a sweet hostess and server, and the food was also amazing. You really get good value for what you’re paying for. The ambiance inside is wonderful as well! So warm and welcoming. Will be coming back!

This is a cozy little place with a chill vibe and ambiance. The staff and customer service were great. The Bacalao and Branzino al Sale were incredible. So were the mini lobster rolls and grilled octopus. I look forward to coming back for their Happy Hour and trying their oysters. I foresee Blue being my go to for oysters & dinner when I’m in the city!

Came here before a show and decided to have the preset menu. I had the tricolore salad, along with the salmon and white beans, and a coffee crème brûlée for desert.The salad was very good, I do wish had just a touch more dressing on it. The goat cheese and toasted almonds were wonderful.My main, the salmon, was my favorite. It was buttery and cooked until it was basically melting in my mouth. The beans and lemon sauce were the perfect compliment to the fish. Very filling but not too heavy.The crème brûlée was also very good. A nice coffee flavor, not too bitter or sweet. Wonderful way to finish out my meal.

What an awesome experience! Started T the bar for happy hour. Gabriella was a great bartender and took great care of us. Appys were great, oysters were so fresh. Dinner was outstanding. Highly recommend the bacalao. What a dish! It was awesome.

The waitress was so kind and smiley ! She helped us a lot choosing from the menu . The grilled octopus and the risotto with the cuttlefish ink,squid and the clams were amazing !

Great ambiance. We stopped but for happy hour. They presentation of each dish is beautiful. The hostess and waist were great as well. I especially enjoyed the pizza and thevoysters....will definitely be back.

Oysters were great. the waitress was so nice & the ambiance is perfect for a date night

Very good food. The staff is very friendly and a really nice atmosphere. Is not the first time and will not be the last. Amazing place

Service was terrible. Waiters were rude especially the blonde lady. Food came out incorrect and the waitress seemed annoyed by questions. Not worth it.

Great and friendly service (especially Matt behind the round bar and Michaela and Gabriela on the floor) and an exquisite chef! I highly recommend the tuna tartar and the salmon ceviche! And altho it is called Seafood Bar, I personally love the lamb chops and the steak! Ps, dont forget the Coffee Creme Brulee for dessert!

What a gem! The staff was lovely. The decor was perfect; not too overdone on the nautical theme. The food was excellent! You can tell that the chefs really cook with love here. I sampled my friends halumi, and now I cant wait to go back for more, it was soo good! We got the seafood platter, which had some of the biggest claims Ive ever seen. The platter really impressed me, because it had a variety of seafood, that all have different cook times and temperatures, but it was all perfect, and still hot. That takes a lot of skill to pull off! We also got the fish and chips, the tuna steak, and a cheese platter. Everything was excellent. Cant wait to go back for more. We were having such a good time, that I forgot to take pictures of everything.

Such a charming and lovely restaurant! The front of house staff was wonderful and extremely accommodating. Everything was delicious. I’ve never had anything like my main course: a seafood stew served in a bread bowl. So unique.

I recently hit up Blue Seafood and Bar for brunch, and let me tell you, this spot is a breath of fresh air in NYCs brunch scene of throw an egg on top of everything.The nautical-themed decor with its cool blue tones and marine art gives off a chill, elegant feel.The service was good: friendly, knowledgeable staff who are there when you need them but don’t hover. It makes the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.They kick things off with this amazing caponata and crusty bread. Its a sweet, sour, and savory eggplant relish that had me hooked from the first bite. Such a great way to start the meal.I started with the Kumamoto oysters, and wow, they were fresh and briny with just the right touch of sweetness. The mignonette sauce added a nice zing, making them an absolute treat.The seafood salad came next, and it was a colorful, fresh mix of shrimp, scallops, and calamari in a light, citrusy dressing. Super refreshing and tasty—definitely not your average brunch salad.For the main event, I went with the classic 2 eggs, which came with a side of mixed greens and roasted potatoes. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the salad was crisp and lightly dressed, and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Simple, but done right.What I loved most about Blue Seafood and Bar is that they don’t stick to the usual brunch clichés. Their menu has real variety and quality, which makes it stand out from the crowd. You can even order from their regular menu.So, if youre looking for a brunch spot that’s a cut above the rest, with great food and a cool vibe, you’ve got to check out Blue Seafood and Bar. It’s definitely worth a visit!

We had a fun time with great seafood.Loved the lavender infused drink.Very friendly servers

Great spot with great and fun staff! Stopped in with friends to take a break. Will definitely stop there for happy hour.

Great atmosphere! But in my opinion, food is just ok and a bit overpriced.

What a lovely place. We were looking for a light delicious seafood dinner and weren’t disappointed. The place is small with a beautiful bar, excellent service (thanks Gabriella), great drinks and awesome food. Highly recommended, we will come back.

Beautiful and tasty seafood salad, plate of cold cuts with mortadella, prosciutto and cheese, great Burrato pizza and seafood special - seafood stew. We shared it all.

Delicious food. Service was a little spotty for our pre show dinner. Had three different servers checking on us who were all great but it also seemed like we were forgot about at times

Blue Seafood has a great fixed price pre-theatre option with a 3-course, full portion menu for $39 that cant be beat. Pair that with a happy hour drink at their cozy place and youve got an ideal budget night on the town. Wait staff is warm and welcoming, service top notch. What-to-eat tips from Fernanda were especially appreciated. She really knows the chefs specials. We loved our branzini, croquettes, ceviche, pasta and desserts.

Cute seafood spot with very good food and a cool bar

Overall we enjoyed our meal but the restaurant seemed a little short staffed. Servers were friendly, but were so busy it was hard to get their attention.

The staff were so kind! We got the margarita pizza and the fitto misto. It was a delightful evening! (They have outdoor seating.)

Pretty decent seafood joint. A tad pricey but where isnt? At least for 18$ the clam chowder has actual clams in shells as embellishment. The squid ink risotto is a bit salty. Neednt be. A good place for a solo visit and thats always a plus to me. Also, tapas and pizza for the non seafood eaters.

Great food, great service! They even turned down the music volume for us - something that needs to be done nearly everywhere but isnt. For that alone, Id go back.But that wasnt all. The food was amazing and the presentation excellent. They have a $10 per glass wine that was excellent.Recommended.

Awesome date night spot after a broadway play. The food and atmosphere was great.

The food was mediocre at best. The seafood pasta had really small scallop, taste decent, the tuna wasnt really on par with the price you pay for (44 dollars ) tasted more like tuna that is around 20 dollars. Sausage on a toast cost 28 dollars that should cost 14 at most. The pizza crust was okay, but the sauce tasted strange and the meat wasnt so fresh. The waiters were nice, but forgot some orders. Basically for what you are getting its not worth it.

Service was poor. Server was rude when asked questions. Food quality was less than average quality and freshness for seafood.

This restaurant is a little gem! I was dazzled by the interior decor, impressed with the delicious salmon with capers in lemon sauce, completely charmed by my waitress Gabriella. I love this restaurant so much that I want to rent it out for a private party. It would a great place to throw a wedding, birthday, engagement, office party. The bartender, the chef, the busboys, everyone was so professional, well-dressed, warm and seemed to be genuinely happy. Im definitely going back!

This has became one of my go to spots in the neighborhood. everyone is extremely nice and welcoming. the food is so good *chefs kiss* literally the BEST espresso martini. they have a great happy hour 4-7 than again 10 til closing which is amazing. 10/10

Came here after the Broadway show. We had a great seafood dinner. Seafood tower and seafood patter, omg, all I can say that we were stuffed. The waitress was nice and fast, no wait time since we came late but still you should make your reservation, I can see this place is very popular during the day. There is also a great bar area.

Great find in hells kitchen. Seafood is the feature. We had lobster, salmon, and mixed seafood over squid ink pasta. We also had several tapas and charcuterie. All were very fresh and lightly prepared.

We went here last minute for my boyfriends birthday and it was the best decision! The oysters, octopus & lobster pasta were all amazing. Our waitress Gabriela made the night so special and had a great wine recommendation! Cant recommend this place enough

It was my girlfriends birthday and she loved it! We ate grilled seafood and it was beyond my expectation! Service was great and food was amazing. I will definitely visit here again and highly recommend if you like seafoods!

Delicious food but portions are a bit too small for the price.

Incredible food and service at Blue! We stumbled upon Blue by chance but we now feel it will become a top 5 restaurant for us. The restaurant was cozy and stylish, each seating location felt unique.Our server, Mihaela, who handled the serving of the entire floor with ease was incredibly kind and attentive. She made us feel like old friends and was a really special part of the dining experience.The kitchen prepared our dishes quickly and everything was perfectly seasoned and at an appropriate temperature. Our cocktails were delicious and the wine selection was perfect for our meals.We would absolutely highly recommend stopping by (especially if Mihaela is working!) and getting anything on the menu. The oysters were the freshest and best tasting weve had in the city!

Great fresh seafood. The four of us unanimously agreed the fresh seafood was spot on. The Scallop Carpaccio is absolutely creamy with a perfect blend of saltiness which against the cucumber was harmony on our mouths.We didn’t eat any cooked food (yet) and did not have a drink (yet as well). This was a night of fresh/chilled seafood (except for a cooked half lobster with brandy & ptarmigan chees and a grilled octopus) which hit the spot for us.

The food was pricey but was good overall. However, this restaurant charges a credit card fee of $22.95 and applies sales tax on this fee. Really? Is that legal?Then they apply a 20% tips for a party of 4 and they conveniently forget to tell you that the gratuity is included in the check. Instead, there is a list of suggested gratuity so you can double tip if you dont pay attention. So be aware.

The service is top notch, everyone we spoke to was great. The decor and ambiance was great too.Cocktails were delicious. We had an on menu rum/lime juice/tea syrup cocktail and an off menu dirty martini.Appetizers and oysters were great too.Entrees were a bit of a disappointment, for our tastes they were under seasoned. Though, they were very well priced.I would come back to sit at the bar and have some appetizers during happy hour for sure. Just not a dinner spot for us.

Beautiful restaurant, super cosy, food is outstanding,very friendly service, Gabriella was terrific, every minute of it.

I love the Happy hour here! I have been a few times and am never disappointed. I usually sit at the bar and have a beer or wine with some of their delicious meat plates and/or oysters.. Everything is really fresh. the bartenders are attentive and always helpful in ordering. Also, great place for a date.

It was five of us that went to the blue seafood bar, the food was amazing, we ordered two dozen oysters, tuna tartare, scallop carpaccio, croquetas, octupus, and for my sweet tooth I ordered a flan. The food was great.

Great service, great food. One of those places that was far better than expected. Will definitely be back.

We ate here pre-theater when going to a show on 54th Street. So much better than most in the Times Square area. Menu is a bit eclectic. There was a mini lobster roll appetizer that was better than most we have had in Maine. The grilled octopus and lobster and burrata salad were also excellent. Branzino and lamb chop main courses were equally good. Service was very attentive and able to accommodate multiple allergies. Finally, the space is very pretty. Will definitely go back.

The food was exquisite! We ordered the seafood with Pappardelle pasta and I could tell the pasta was made in house. It was divine! The waitress was pleasant and sweet. She made sure we had a lovely evening by attending to all of our needs. I cant wait to go back!

Went for Sunday brunch and the food was incredible. Very authentic. She got the lobster buratta and I got the grilled seafood sampler and we got a bottle of the house champagne for like $30. Our server I can’t remember her name but she was very nice and knew the whole menu front and back.

Ceviche and prawns were very delicious. The lobster tail wasn’t as good, I wish it wasn’t chopped so finely. It reminded me of scooped sandwich filling.

Had brunch here. Pretty decent food. Kids loved the coccoli.

Really great food and atmosphere with very attentive staff. Id definitely recommend this restaurant. I loved the oysters and brick oven pizza especially. The meat and cheese platter was really great too.

Overall, things were very good. I didn’t like the small tables. For a place that wants to bring a ton of plates to the table, there simply isn’t enough room!

Really nice atmosphere. Vegetarians, dont worry! While most dishes on menu have meat, they can prepare customized dishes for you. They have plenty of veggies in the kitchen and use those to create something youll like. The staff was very helpful. They took note of what I like and I got a wonderful plate of garlicky veggie pasta. We went pre- theater and they were quick, but not rushed. Highly recommend

We stumbled upon Blue tonight after a show & it was an amazing experience. Our waiter was knowledgeable and amazing he asked about food allergies & so did another waitress who bought out our appetizer. Everything I had was gluten and dairy free. Highly recommend the Miso Fritti (assorted fried seafood and veggies in rice flour)Thank you for an amazing experience.

Been here twice for dinner and need to start coming more. Ambience is lovely. Food is delicious—have had a variety of raw seafood, cooked seafood, tapas, and pastas and they were all very good. Best seafood in the area. A highlight was my watermelon cocktail most recently.Manhattan prices but that’s fair I guess. Serving sizes are reasonable, meaning not too small but definitely not inflated—you’ll leave full but not stuffed. Service is friendly but struggles to find the right balance of attentiveness.

Food was ok. Didn’t like the ceviche but the lamb chops were delicious. Drinks here were average.^ a year agoUpdated: service was decent. The first guy spilled water al over my leg and shoes before we ate. Then he went to the wrong table for bread. We got the watermelon drink and added lemon as it would have been too sweet. The octopus was delicious! TheBurrata with lobster wasn’t what we were thinking. It said on the menu the lobster was warm. It came cold. Then it went back and came out hot. It was a very very small portion of lobster. Average experience

Last minute dinner and was deliciousGreat service .

Had the special: seafood squid ink linguine with half lobster. Soo fresh! Service was really good. They were proactive on taking orders and bringing a lovely water bowl for washing hands :)

Happy hour crowd is always fun, meet new friends. Bartendermakes a great cosmo & cocktails. Don’t miss the oysters, tuna and margarita pizza.

Excellent service at the cozy neighborhood restaurant. The food was pretty good. We had the seafood mixed grill. Very authentic Mediterranean style preparation. The only negative was the prices. Somewhat exhorbitant for this Hells Kitchen neighborhood.

Impeccably decorated, great brunch menu, and a bottomless option that includes cocktails in addition to the standard mimosas and bloody marys. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. Will definitely return to try dinner.

Waiter did not write down the order and forgot my entree. Told me it would be 3-4 minutes to make. As my colleague was finishing his meal ten minutes later mine showed up. The food was delicious but it took me asking for the check ten minutes after we declined desert to get it. With 15 people in the place I would have liked better service for a 50 dollar meal.

Very very nice place in HK. Ambience is great, loved the interior.Cocktails were very good (get the habanero).Charcuterie was a great start and portions were generous.Oysters were some of the best I’ve had in NY (a bit pricey but the freshness and quality (and maybe the cocktails) made it okThe crudo platter was also good, but next time would probably just get the tuna (that was the best in my opinion)We also got the squid ink risotto— unfortunately did not that a picture but that was killer.

Great oysters and raw fish! Make sure to have dinner here!

The food is great...focus on fish and seafood. Very fresh and good recipe ideas. The bass in papillotte was perfection and oysters so fresh they moved...like you would find in France. Bravo!

This place has really nice ambiance. It gives the feel of a Cape Cod beachy spot. Good wine and look for the bartender Matt. Hell take great care of you! 😊

Good selection of drinks and fish/pasta senecio is pretty good, but the oysters for happy hour and there mussels were not good.

Great little fresh seafood place. Otsters and Littlenecks were spectacular. Chilled lobster a home run and Linguine with clams was tasty.

Meka and all the bartender make amazing tasty and beautiful drinks, they are so welcoming.The staff and the owners are very welcoming. The food is delicious , the food and service is fast . Everything about this place is 5 stars !

I got happy hours with oysters and alcohol. That was one of crazy evenings for seafood lovers, more than 50 oysters for 6 people, calamari and hot seafood plate. And we loved everything

This place was awesome. I had a horrible Valentines yesterday and they made it fantastic for me.My now ex, took me here scrambling since he planned nothing. My waiter was a sweet heart. She saw my distress and brought me a single red rose (my guy couldn’t do) living me up and it did. It brought a tear to my eye that I really needed.Besides my demise, this place has amazingly fresh, delicious food and the presentation is divine. I will come back for a Sunday dining experience.When in nyc GO HERE!

I went to Blue Seafood Bar (9th Ave Blue) at 856 9th Avenue, Manhattan, for the first time tonight. I was happily surprised by their mixed drinks and a few appetizers we had ordered. The Salmon Cerviche was heavenly. Server Moiza was friendly and expeditious. He took pride in serving his tables in a commendable fashion. We conversed with a lovely couple and petted their cute dog Michu. Lots of positive energy on display. The evening all around was a success and I intend to come back much more often.

Great place for sea food.

I really do love this place. The food is wonderful. The drinks are great. And the service is always on point. Not the cheapest place around, but you get what you pay for. A definite go to for anyone in the area.

They were completely out of tuna, but the quality of their food and customer service was great. Fast service as well. The pizza was made with simplicity, but heavenly goodness. The cheese, sauce and crust where amazingly silky and melted in your mouth. Seriously, so delicious.

Dorian, the owner, & the staff were wonderful! Made us feel at home.Food was excellent. Great atmosphereWe will definitely return.Desserts: Nutella mouse & Gelato = outstanding!

Overcooked and overpriced lobster. I had no idea that I would pay $120 for lobster that tasted old and stale. The other dishes were reasonably priced around $45. I wish the server told me beforehand. Oysters were very good, as well as the clam chowder.And not to mention this restaurant has major fly/roach issue. I had to kill two flies on my table and watch two roaches climbing the ceiling.

Very good service, nice environment, good and fresh food. Will go back to this place!

Best tiramisu I’ve ever had!!

A great intimate restaurant, with a nice airy white marble interior, and a really nice curved bar near the entrance. The food is priced fairly for the quality that you get. I had the seafood salad which wasn’t cheap, but I thought worth it.

A very nice place to enjoy good food.Nice atmosphere and amazing drinks.Would go back for sure. Thank you!

Decent oysters. Alright duck terrine and seafood pasta. Nuttella mouse was good.Beautiful décor and nice ambience for chatting.No lines during weekdays nights.

Loved this semi circular bar with its handsome and professional Barman Moisés . I will definitely come back .

Great ambiance! Love the food although I wouldn’t ask again for the risotto. The seafood on top were a bit tasteless. (Risotto itself great flavor)

The oysters were delicious & all of the other food was good. The staff were friendly.

Wonderful place! Been there several times,every time amazing experience. Impeccable service,delicious food,drinks desserts.

Excellent food, service and ambience. My wife and I stumbled across this smallish eatery located in the theater district. Great seafood. Highly recommend.

I would have been ok with the fact that this restaurant is completely overpriced but then they added a fee to use a credit card that was not mentioned until after we paid the check and that was that.. Never again! Completely not worth it!

My boyfriend and I decided to try this place on our last night in NYC. We were not disappointed! We splurged and went for the seafood platter and it was awesome. My bf never had octopus before and he really enjoyed everything on the platter. We were still feeling a little peckish after the platter and opted for their pre theatre three course special to share. Their pre theatre special is really good value for money and their linguine vongole was amazing!! We will definitely go back the next time we visit NYC.

Decent spot for after work drinks on 9th avenue, close to Columbus Circle. Also had oysters, which were OK at best - but at $2 per oyster during happy hour, its hard to be picky!

Tables a lil too close for comfort. The delicious food more than made up for it. Waitress was very knowledgeable patient and attentive.

Fantastic design and an upscale yet cozy atmosphere. The seafood is fresh and the cocktails are strong. I did have a bad batch of oysters once, but that can happen.

Delicious brunch with creative take on conventional brunch dishes. Decor is as tasteful as the menu is thoughtful. Rose, our server, was delightful.

Love this place, great service, delicious food and perfect drink

First time here. Had their h.h. oysters which was decent. I would come back again to try out other items on their menu

Meaty oysters considering happy hour

Amazing 😍 😍 😍...Great amazing food and Service Recommended.....Incredible food. Fresh seafood, unbeatable service and very cozy place....must visit in the City ..

Blue Seafood Restaurant gets all the 4 Ps right! The product ( food ) is excellent , the presentation is exquisite, the place ( decor ) is warm and aesthetically pleasing and the people ( staff) are attentive and welcoming! HK has a new winner .

Fresh & delicious. Very welcoming environment. Attentive and authentic staff!! Excellent!

Wonderful grilled Spanish octopus, great duck terrine. The salt-baked Bronzino is one of the best in NYC. Predictably great wine selection.

Love this place. Great happy hour specials. Friendly bar tender and nice vibe! Ill be back soon.

The place is very clean specially the bathrooms everything, food is good love the enviroment.

Best seafood Ive had in Manhattan in a long time. Excellet service, very friendly and helpful staff. A fantastic night all round. A Manhattan must do!

Great food, dessert off the chart... panna cotta and creme bruele

Went NYC with friend who goes regularly and knew the waitress . Wonderful service I had seafood salad. Great selection of lobster, scallops, etc and delicious dressing. He had haddock. Well cooked, good wine selection Shared a delicious key lime pie.

I loved it. The olives where the best. And the octopus and the baby spinach salad were fresh and balance.

Great restaurant. Very expensive for the food. Its quaint great service etc. But cost is on line with some of the most expensive restaurants in the city. Especially the wine list

The food was mediocre overall. Service was poor. It took a good twenty minutes before anyone took our drink order and the restaurant was mostly empty when we arrived. The servers were openly bickering with each other. Definitely not worth it for $100pp.

Good brunch place. Their servings are pretty generous and the food is very good. The price is not too expensive for the location of this restaurant. I had the Mimosas and Bellinis. The bacon Benedict was very good.

Unparalleled service with chef and proprietors checking personally on your dining experience. Bruschetta taste is still lingering and calling back...

Superb restaurant! Outstanding food cooked to perfection! Gabriella was our wonderful server! Very gracious, friendly and professional!

I love the ambience of this restaurant. However like all of NY it is extremely cramped, packed like sardines. The hostess was kind enough to seat us without a reservation and told us we had the table for just under 2 hours. We really appreciated that because it was more than enough time. The server was very pleasant and attentive. I ordered the house clam chowder and crab cakes. My friend, the birthday girl, ordered the crab cakes and an entree. The crab cakes were appetizers and since Id ordered 2 appetizers the waitress decided to bring my crab cakes out with my friends entree. As luck would have it, that was the best decision. My friend ate one of her crab cakes silently while I raved about my soup (it was too loose to be chowder). It was very good. She told me to cancel my crab cake order then told me to taste hers. 🤮. They werent good at all. You tasted mostly breading and the ingredients mixed with the minimal crab was not flavorful or enjoyable at all. She was too uneasy to send them back. I immediately canceled my order and finished my soup while my friend ate her entree (which she enjoyed). We quickly understood why you needed a reservation because halfway through our meal the restaurant quickly started filling up. We were so fortunate to have gotten there early. The space between the tables and chairs are extremely difficult to pass through. Overall we enjoyed the meal however, I caution anyone ordering the crab cakes. They were $27 for blah.

First time customer, sat at the bar, food was amazing, ordered oysters & mussels.However, I ordered a Riesling& caught bartender (female) don’t know her name because she never disclosed it, pouring me a Chardonnay VS a Resiling. I instantly spoke up & she acted like nothing and switched it.Not cool at all. So if I would have never saw her then I would have been fooled drinking the incorrect wine & getting charged for something more expensive. She would have charged me for a riesling but in reality I would have been drinking a Chardonnay house wine.

The food overall was good, but my oysters were filled with grit and sand. After we finished our dozen oysters, the tray was not removed from our table for almost 15 minutes. Not one server or busser paid us any attention. It was an early Saturday night, but the servers seemed frazzled.

One of the finest restaurants in NYC. Cuisine and atmosphere is wonderful. I frequent this restaurant and recommend it highly.

Have eaten here several times over the years and remains consistently good. Service is attentive and the atmosphere is spot on for any type of meal. The bar is also a good choice as the service there is very friendly and easy to obtain any menu item plus worthy happy hour specials!

This restaurant, the service, the food, the decor... is SUPERB. I brought my friend here for her birthday and we had a SPLENDID time.

Great food, and great service

Lovedddd itEven better when you go woth someone whos fun

Salty old oysters, martinis that tasted like rubbing alcohol, congested atmosphere, pushy staff. Much better place a few blocks down.

We dropped in here from the theatre. We’re impressed with the food - quality and presentation - and the service, by Ermir. Definitely recommended!

Happy hour first at the bar and then the seafood grill before a show.. Phenomenal! An experience.. Service by Michaela outstanding.

Be careful with their Oysters. My entire family and I got sick after having some of their “fabulous oysters”

Excellent food, lots of credits to the chiefGreat service

Food here is amazing. The draft list is full of local beers and the bartenders are warm and friendly.

Charming and welcoming ambiance, excellent cuisine. The staff - particularly the extraordinary and multilingual young lady of Romanian origin - is very courteous. I highly recommend coming here.

This restaurant 3 years ago was place to eat oysters and have a well made martini. Could not finish my martini and did not bother with oysters. Very sad setting, this place is slowly dying.VERY SAD…………..

Very cozy. Great food. Let us stay at the bar for another after they closed the dining room.

Great happy hour oysters. They also have house made habanero infused tequila that packs a punch!

The best place to relax. Amazing food, great drinks, excellent service. Lovely atmosphere... Love it!👍👍👍

Nice ambiance

Cool spot for fresh seafood and an awesome late-night happy hour menu!

Wonderful dinner

My favorite seafood place in Hells Kitchen. Their raw bar is always fresh and service is always great!

Beautiful Bar...but the food is scrumptious. Fresh seafood appetizers and entrees are toothsome.

Love this place!

Will give 5stars!! Best serve and taste! Todays special was pasta with lobster and it was great!

It was fine, and the happy hour oyster / wine deal was very good, but the oysters themselves were bland and the rest of the menu pretty overpriced. The service was wonderful.

Excellent service, appetizers, crudo, tapas, just right, especially enjoyed the seared scallops.

Very attentive people. The food was great. Prosciutto pizza is highly recommended.

Really enjoyed restaurant. I took a set with raw fish, octopus, spaghetti with seafood and desert. Very delicious. Service is fantastic!My recommendation!

Excellent food and service!!!!

The prix fixe brunch here is fantastic! Service is friendly and attentive, every bite was delicious, drinks are as well. Extremely reasonable price especially for the quality and for bottomless! Will return again 🩷

On top of having one of the best servers I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing, the food here is delicious.New England clam chowder, scallop carpaccio, and pasta all worth every penny.It’s clear the kitchen enjoys what they’re doing and off comes through in the food.

Pleasant and personal staff relaxing and friendly GREAT FOODS 👍 👌 😊

A lovely place. I recommend consulting Gabriela the charmingbarmaid before ordering a dish. She will fix you with the right dish for you

Food was great, service was excellent... until... they had some sort of flickering power issue, and werent able to take credit card payments. We ended up having to wait for 10-15 minutes until their system was up and running again.

Delicious seafood option in Hells Kitchen. A tad pricey, but good cozy restaurant without any of the wait

I wanted to take my family on a dinner the food was way to overpriced for the quality and taste and they didn’t bring 2 of my meals until confronted about it and I had to wait until they made it and everyone was done eating by that time

Really terrific octopus on potatoes, warm and sliced sideways and perfectly cooked. The Nero risotto is so amazing if you love squid ink sauce…includes lots of clams, mussels, a lovely scallop and shrimp. Big portion!

Really cozy and classy spot. Enjoyed wine and delicious appetizers at the bar.

Decent place with decent food. Nice atmosphere. Well worth it.

Great small plates and drinks, small venue but worth it. Great service and wonderful ambience. Try the bruschetta trio, oysters, seafood mix, charcuterie, and oyster wave rush to drink!

Seafood, Mediterranean dishes, tapas, pizzas, and a nice wine selection, with friendly, efficient service.

Great food!!! Very reasonable prices; my new fave spot in the neighborhood

Great oysters and happy hour! Would love to go again.

Nice, the mussels were very large, white wine (a glass) $18

Excellent food, drinks, oysters, and friendly staff.

Went there with my girlfriend for the Oyster happy our and a Quick Dinner before the musicals. Oysters sold for $2 each and Tasted Great, bruschetta Selection was a Little Bit pricey But Tasted very Good. We also liked the Dessert of the Day - Grilled Peaches With Caramel Sauce and mascarpone Creme. Service was attentive, Quick and friendly. We had a Great experience and will return.

Good food, great atmosphere. No wait on a Friday at 6:30.

Excellent of everything. Attention, service, food, clean, in time, professional, polite, price.Everything is excellent

Xclnt oyster choices and Italian options. Early evening and late night best for space available.

Rodrigez made our Spacial Day perfect and unforgettable! Thank you very much!!! we’ll definitely be back!

Seafood salad was excellent, which we are right after a half a dozen oysters. We were there on a Tuesday evening and the place was quiet and chill.

Great Martini here. In general the cocktails are good. I also enjoy the oysters.

The seafood pizza is just a normal regular pizza with some calamari on on the top and no cheese. Over $$$

Food was nasty and my fish was raw. They offered to take it back and slice it. And it’s a pandemic.NEVER AGAIN

Great happy hour, food and waitstaff. Will definitely be back.

Superb!! Excel·lent food and great service. I will bé back for sure

A very nice happy hour selection. Very attractive bar and restaurant.

I sat at the bar and ordered the shrimp cocktail and the salmon entree for dinner. They have great happy hour options! Nice energy in the restaurant, tasty food, and the service was fast. Staff is very friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Excited to come back soon :)

I wish I had taken pictures but this place was delicious. To start the dipping oil with zucchini was amazing. I have been trying to find a recipe online to re-create that at home. We had several different types of oysters all good. My ravioli with wild mushroom and vodka sauce was excellent and the portion was very filling. My sister got the Lobster bisque pasta and that was a surprising dish that tasted just like the soup but not as creamy.My nephew got the burrata pizza and it was basically a glorified margarita pizza but crust was excellent and just a perfect simple pizza to share or not. My niece got crab legs and shrimp cocktail and I will take her word that is was all tasty as she did not share.Wine list was the only thing I feel needs to be a little more well-rounded with its offerings but overall a wonderful experience! We had a reservation and so glad we did as the place was packed by the time we left...

Everything here is amazing! Love the oyster selections and the pasta!

Amazing oyster happy hour and highly reccomend the wild mushroom ravioli. quick serve time and my waitress/hostess, mihaela, was so kind and attentive to me. highly recommend and make sure to tip mihaela well!

I didnt like this place, i felt that the quality of the drinks and wine was not up to the price they charge.

Blue is a gem in Hells Kitchen! Im hesitant to rate it, as we want to keep it for ourselves, and our neighborhood!

It was a party of four we were accommodated quickly. The food was excellent and the service was decent. Being a former restaurant owner myself, So I would be a little more critical on the service but the regular diner probably wouldnt notice the stuff I do and have a very enjoyable experience. Being in Hells Kitchen with an array of every cuisine you can think in the world if you want a very low key great meal and a more intimate setting than the blasting music at happy hour then this is the place for you. I will definitely go back, because Im crushing on the waitress I thought she was breathtaking. No but I will go back for a great meal again

Ive been going to all three sister restaurants. When the team are together at Blue the atmosphere is fun, free, and joyful. You feel like you dont want to leave.. Just keep ordering many different tapas and drinks.The team consist of Matt the bartender - hes very customer service oriented, professional and cool guy with a super friendly 😉 energy. Everyone goes to Blue to see! Cambria the hostess - so gorgeous and makes you feel welcome. Mihaela and Gabriela the funny, pretty and outgoing waitresses. Oscar, Ozzy - hes the oyster chucker. Tiny little guy but sweet.The cook-Chef, Ísael! Man, he loves cooking, and he does it right! Delish!

They very good, specially 1$ oysters..

Great ambiance but slow service and food is average

Blue is known for its tapas for a reason. We didnt even get into the rest of the menu (which was incredible based on our neighboring tables review). The croquetas, frito mixto, and New England Chowder were fresh and delicious. The service was attentive, professional and fun, and the ambiance was relaxed but elevated. Ill definitely be back!Accessibility: Flat open floor plan. Bathroom is gender neutral but may be small for a wheelchair.

We’ve been going to Blue pretty regularly for happy hour lately (the $2 east coast oysters are very good - good value). Service is slow - you have to wave down your server to get a refill. But, seems like ownership is out to catch you with the happy hour drinks and I’ve mentioned it to staff there but it seems to be a waste of time (hence my low review). In 90% of bars and restaurants around the city, a Stella Artois (50 cl / 16oz goblet) costs $9. So when I saw the happy hour for $7, I thought this was a good deal. Until I realized that they serve the happy hour drinks in the small half pint glasses (10oz). So, in reality, they are selling me their Stella for $11.20 for an equivalent 16oz during happy hour. Not good and not enduring to your locals. Please make happy hour a true happy hour and not con-artist hour.

Food was delicious and service was great

The lobster special used frozen lobster; was mushy and small. Ok otherwise.

Very friendly and helpful staff, great food!

So sorry, by mistake I wrote this. Please disregard my message.I never been there but according to the location, it has to be a good place to eat. Beautiful location. Sorry again.

Good food and nice bar but overpriced.

This is one of my favorite neighborhood locales. Staff, food and drinks are always great. Good wine list too.

An amazing and accommodating place. Absolutely delicious food and wonderful staff. The young man who served us really took his time helping us and giving us his best service. You are amazing. Thank you for being so good to us Felipe! Were the 3 people from Colorado!

Superb ambiance with great choices for drinks and food.
