Jamie Etkind: Order the Taste of Maine: perfectly portioned for one person, you get to sample the shrimp roll, crab roll, and lobster roll...and be transported to Maine
stephiedoo: I still think the shrimp roll is the best. Grab it to go and walk a few blocks to eat it in a park.
Yolande Piazza: Shrimp Roll was delicious. Small but yummy

LogoTV: My fav sushi restaurant and the Rock Shrimp is to die for! -Derek, The A-List: New York
Eric Litman: 3 tips in 1: change up the rock shrimp by getting it with the honey truffle aioli (off menu). Don't be shy about getting 1/2 orders. And get a mojito with yuzu and shiso instead of lime and mint.
Susan H: Not only is the food outstanding esp the Rock Shrimp, great people watching! An experience every time!

Village Voice: The coconut shrimp appetizer are battered with a thick liquid containing sweet baker's coconut and deep fried until golden brown, with a mango dipping sauce with a bit of heat. Delicious!
Bill Atkinson: Go deep on the rattlenake bites--roasted jalapenos, stuffed w/ grilled shrimp AND wrapped in bacon! Amazballs.
Alexia Doyamis: Shrimp & Grits are phenomenal - strawberry margarita is made with fresh strawberries! This entire menu is delicious, a real neighborhood gem

Pub · Financial District · 48 tips and reviews
Stephen Sanders: It may not be the salty fishermen's haunt that it once was but it still a classy yet low key bar and restaurant. Order the Paris Seafood Chowder, it's loaded with scallops, shrimp, and mussels.
Benjamin Supinski: Order the popcorn shrimp, arguably the best in NYC
Rodrigo Lozano: Salads, chicken, burgers, lamb shank, shrimp scampi and best service in the seaport area

Nana Boateng: The espresso cake, the stuffed lobster and crab shrimp, the ice cream. They're all amazing!

Tiffany Hart: Amazing waitstaff, excellent premium lamb chops w/cherry compote, rock shrimp&most amazing pairing of ice wine w/ cheesecake I've had in a very long time!

Paul Morgan: grilled chicken with green sauce is excellent. so is the garlic shrimp
Dorothy Aiello: Garlic shrimp with rice and beans is my favorite. However, I make myself get a salad instead of the rice and beans when I'm watching my weight. The shrimp is great for that too.
Kay T: Very cozy, nice staff, great prices. Their famous Cuban sandwich&home lemonade are the best!

Beth K: Quality food, creative decor. Spatzle is a good hearty dish, satisfying. Grilled prawns are beautifully seasoned! Black pepper taglietelle is so delicious! Owner is a Michelin star chef- you can tell!
Julia Soares: Wiener schnitzel and apple strudel! To die for!
Nidhi Kay: The schnitzel is really good, also the toast with toppings’ options are good but just be aware they’re small so won’t fill you up

Christa Guzewski: More of a bar than a restaurant. Do not get shrimp scampi. Fish tacos were decent
Michael Hussey: Try the Oysters - Happy hour special - a dozen Blue Point oysters for $12. Don't pass this place by. Great bar, great seafood.
Fortune Magazine: This place open again after Sandy flooded it with 8 feet of water. Fortune had a happy hour there to celebrate. It's one of many local Seaport businesses that will need support in the coming months.
