I love this place! I come here every time I’m in New York! The food is always amazing and I have a favorite waiter here - Mihaela, who is always so kind and so funny and so nice! I highly recommend the sage ravioli and their goat cheese and crunchy almonds salad! 5 stars! ♥️ see you next year!

Came for the oyster happy hour and they were so tasty! We got the rib eye and the salmon and both were tasty. The potatoes were so sensational. Our waiter Armando was amazing!

Great seafood, the ceviche and the risotto are amazing. Small seating area and tables but you don't feel overcrowded. All the seafood we tried was very flavorful and good portion sizes, main dishes are easily shareable.

We had such a spectacular dinner here! The food was delicious and the setting is beautiful. Would recommend the seafood salad and the risotto di mare - extremely fresh and flavorful dishes. We are definitely coming back for more!

best happy hour in the city. 10pm to close every day - r u kidding me. catch me here every friday if i could. we got focaccia, olives and shrimp and a bottle of Prosecco. the focaccia was a standout in the spicy olive oil for sure. the bartender was so so friendly and hospitable (as well as the regulars). great local spot and if you’re not in the area i would go out of my way to come here. worth it every time for happy hour.

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.

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 we've had in the city!

Their happy hour oysters were fresh umami with a little metallic finish which I found interesting and tasty. Happy hour cocktails are worth it too

My favorite spot for $1 oysters. As of Feb 2026, the oysters are still just a buck, Mon-Fri, 4-7pm. There aren't many $1 oyster happy hours left in the city. The rest of the food is just average. The ambiance, like the name, is very generic and forgettable.

Cute spot for happy hour! $2 oysters, Blue Point from Long Island, during the happy hour and great spot to chill after the show and end the night in the city :) super friendly server as well!

A beautiful small restaurant with European vibes. I stopped in for a quick bite, just ordering charcuterie with brie and foie gras pâté. The bread is really good on its own, but has too full of a flavor to go with the cheese and pâté, it really overpowered both.

I recently hit up Blue Seafood and Bar for brunch, and let me tell you, this spot is a breath of fresh air in NYC's 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. It's 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 you're 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!

I came here on a Saturday night in late February with two others for dinner. The temperature outside was seasonal and dry. We made the reservation earlier in the week. The restaurant was lively but not full so it seems like the restaurant could have accommodated a walk-in reservation. Our server was lovely, patient, and knowledgeable of the menu. I hope the restaurant is taking great care of her because she is a great asset. The menu seems a bit overly eclectic. I chose the lobster bisque pasta which tasted like nothing. If I came back, I would not order a pasta and would probably choose something from the seafood or Tapas menu. I would go back to this restaurant is someone else I was dining with suggested it, but I wouldn’t seek it out or specifically recommend it.

I ordered the Vongole Bianco. The flavor was good, but the clams were completely cold. It seemed like they had been cooked, set aside, and then plated later. However, the serving temperature was simply unacceptable. The pasta plate itself was also cold, so by the time I finished eating, it was almost like a chilled pasta dish. I’m not sure whether the timing with other dishes was off or if it was plated on a cold dish, but every dish should be served at an appropriate temperature—and this restaurant failed to do that. The service and atmosphere were pleasant, but unfortunately, the food did not live up to its price. Overall, a disappointing experience.
