We had an amazing time last Thursday celebrating my daughter's 16 birthday with mid week dinner. First Jessica ensured we had a top notch service - all the plates were changed between courses, table wiped from melted ice and was ensuring our dietary requests to exclude pork were met and so much more. Second the food was fantastic - fresh delicious oysters, absolutely out of this world escargot, steak and octopus so tender and yummy. Paella was a bit overdone for me, but everyone had a different ways of preparing it, we enjoyed it anyway.We had sangria and it was delicious as well. Definitely great for HH and drinks and for an amazing dinner for special occasion or something to enjoy.

Bar Crudo is defined by its seafood tavern atmosphere, friendly hospitality, and great seafood. I came by with a friend on Friday night and we were seated immediately for our reservation. It's pretty loud and crowded during peak dining hours but people start to trickle out around 8. Best bet is to come later in the night if you want to hear your conversation with your friends.My best friend and I ordered the Change in the Seasons cocktail, a Bar Crudo Margarita, and a Poseidon cocktail. For food we ordered a feast of raw oysters, escargot, duck confit toast, grilled oysters, gambas, raw octopus, and paella.The highlights were:- the duck confit toast which is topped with sweet bursts of flavor from the pomegranate seeds and savory from the cheese and duck.- the escargot which is so flavorful and buttery (ask them to provide you with a spoon to soak up that buttery goodness)- the grilled oysters with its contrast of textures provided from the nuts and that sweet and savory flavor combination- the paella which has a lot of seafood and is very flavorful. The mussels in the dish are very meaty and tender. The paella is more soup based (I think it's based on a paella variation from Catalan) and was an interesting variation on the paella I'm used to eating.- the poseidon cocktail is divine, complex, creamy and still refreshing. This is probably one of the best rum cocktails I've ever hadThe average:- The gambas were pretty good but they lacked the it factor- The raw oysters are good but not amazing- the raw octopus is decent but is strangely combined with a salsa verde (which imo tastes more like chimmichurri) The duds:- the Change of the Seasons and the Bar Crudo Margarita were rather disappointing, the Change of the Seasons was dominated by orange juice and the Bar Crudo Margarita was not my favorite mix (and I've had spiced tequila and mezcal that I've thoroughly enjoyed)The service was consistent throughout our visit and our servers were super personable and funny. We were helped by multiple servers and they were all very knowledgable about the menu and very passionate about the food they serve and just food in general. I would definitely come again to enjoy Bar Crudo's amazing hospitality, have some of their seafood, and enjoy their amazing Poseidon cocktail.

Great seafood place! The shrimp appetizer was very good, the shrimp actually had a seafood-y taste. We ordered the paella with lobster. All of the seafood was cooked perfectly! Except the lobster was so tender it didn't have any texture. I thought the rice was too salty. The service was great, to the point where someone came to our table 6-7 times to refill our water which was unnecessary. Highly recommend the cucumber cocktail and change of seasons cocktail

Jess, our server, was amazing. Her cheerfulness and bubbliness was infectious. The food was delicious and succulent . This place will do very well and if we get another chance to come back to NYC, we will definitely visit this bar again. Good luck, Jess, in your new venture! - G&S

I just wish they had a bigger wine selection. It would be nice to have more options, even if it was by the bottle.

Service staff are amazing and the drinks are pretty good but the food is abysmal and overpriced.We ordered:Patatas bravas: tiny portions for something that is was essentially oven roasted. They were not crispy at all and they lacked any flavor. The sauces were decent, but they added too much green, throwing off the balanceShrimp ceviche: seasoned well but the quality of ingredients left a lot to be desired. The shrimp, especially, was bland and had no flavor. Seafood paella: oh lord.... What was supposed to be a specialty was a huge disappointment. First, they were generous with the amount of seafood, but like the ceviche, the quality was poor. I would rather have them give me less mussel, oysters, shrimp for better quality. The rice was undercooked and incredibly wet. The chorizo was descent, but I imagine that was made by them.Next time I come here will be for the drinks and basic food, like French fries.

Stopped by on a busy Monday night and were wonderfully surprised, or maybe we were just very fortunate. The kitchen was overwhelmed but between their hard work and an excellent waitress we were treated to amazing Beausoleil oysters, well crafted paella, and tasty crab cakes. All dishes were fresh and excellent! I am not surprised that the restaurant was crowded and others around were empty. Care and a high quality, and attentive service go a long way!
