An authentic restaurant with delicious food and lovely staff. Everything is fresh and cooked to perfection. One of my favorite spots in Manhattan! Catch of the day is always an amazing choice. Some of the best oysters in the city, crab, scallops, mussels… the works! ♥️♥️♥️

Excellent. Went in for happy hour tried two of each oyster for $44. My favorite was the Hammermill (or something i forgot but it started with an H, very last one on the list). The fish tacos were incredible, 2 to an order for $10z happy the corn tortilla was soft but wish they doubled up. Drinks were great , got paloma (incredible) and margarita for $10 each. very happy with everything! great value!

The oysters were great! You have a good varity and it is awesome that they had the happy hours deal when I was there. Just sit around the bar, you will meet and talk to people. Great crowd! 5/5 without any doubt!

Really great food - take advantage of the 4-9pm happy hour oysters ($22 for a dozen). We also ordered tuna on crispy rice, king crab legs, shrimp cocktail and a lobster roll. All the food arrived at the same time which was handy for sharing. The 4oz lobster roll with fries is a little pricey at $38. Service is fantastic - attentive and friendly.

If you’re looking for top-notch seafood in NYC, Cull & Pistol is an absolute must-visit. Located in Chelsea Market, this place delivers an incredible dining experience from start to finish. The seafood is exceptionally fresh, with a menu that showcases the best of what the ocean has to offer. Their oysters are some of the best I’ve had—perfectly shucked, briny, and delicious. The lobster roll is phenomenal, packed with tender, buttery lobster meat, and the grilled octopus is cooked to perfection. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is fantastic—bustling but not overwhelming, with a stylish yet welcoming vibe. The service is attentive and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend the best pairings or daily specials. Whether you’re a seafood aficionado or just looking for an amazing meal in NYC, Cull & Pistol delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend!

Our family had an amazing lunch. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the grilled lobster was perfectly cooked, and the grilled Spanish octopus was tender and flavorful. The king crab legs were a bit salty, but they are still tasty. It was a busy Friday. The ambiance was lively, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend for seafood lovers visiting NYC!

Nestled within the Chelsea Market, this is a fun restaurant to enjoy seafood. We were a party of 7 and they made the effort to accommodate us, in spite of the place being full. Service was great. Food delicious. And the atmosphere is fun and festive, permeated by its location within the very busy and popular Market.

I didn’t have a reservation when I stopped by Cull & Pistol Oyster Bar, 75 Ninth Ave, Manhattan, NY, but luckily I was able to grab a seat at the bar. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but it feels cozy and charming. Our server was excellent—offering great recommendations that really elevated the experience. I ordered both the Branzino and the Octopus, and each dish was plated beautifully, arrived promptly, and tasted just as good as it looked. I would definitely come back to dine here again. The only drawback is the location—you have to weave your way through the busy Chelsea Market to find it. If you don’t mind navigating the crowds, you’ll discover a real gem worth the effort.

We always get the lobster poutine when we visit and it never disappoints. We love it with extra cheese curds and gravy and it makes for an excellent indulgence. We also ordered the scallops and asked for it just be pan seared and it was perfectly cooked and well seasoned.
