ABOUT US

Our Restaurant

Crave Fishbar—NYC’s first 100% sustainable seafood restaurant—is home to the #Oystergram Happy Hour, NYC’s best oyster happy hour deal. At home in Midtown East and the Upper West Side, we serve creative seafood in an upscale neighborhood setting, complete with warm hospitality. Global flavors and innovative preparations highlight our sustainable seafood, heritage meats, and organic produce. Our raw bar features a daily selection of east and west coast oysters, sometimes up to twenty varieties each night. For business dinners, special occasions, and dining out just-because, we’re here to serve you a sustainable and memorable meal.

Check out our sister restaurant, TacoVision, located a few blocks away from Crave Fishbar Midtown. Equally inspired by Mexico City street food and NYC spirit, TacoVision channels the transcendent power of creative tacos and agave spirits, with one of the largest mezcal and tequila selections in Manhattan. 

Our Impact

Our Commitment to
Sustainability

We are serious about sustainability. Before adding an item to our menu, we consider the population of that species, the harvest method, and any environmental impact. We ethically source all our items; wild-caught fish come from fish stocks that are not endangered, and all fish from aquaculture is responsibly farmed. Our menu items are Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch best choices or good alternatives only. Read more about our approach to sustainability in the Crave Fishbar Guide to Sustainable Seafood.

Our Partners

To strengthen our mission, we’ve partnered with some of the most respected names in sustainable seafood and ocean science. Soon after opening Crave Fishbar in Midtown East, we became the first New York City restaurant partner of the Monterey Bay Aquarium. After MBA evaluated our menu and sourcing practices, we became NYC’s first 100% sustainable seafood restaurant. We also partner with the James Beard Foundation’s Smart Catch, a chef-driven program committed to promoting sustainable seafood. Chef Todd Mitgang is an ambassador for the Seafood Nutrition Partnership, a national nonprofit with a mission to promote a healthy, seafood-inclusive diet. In 2015, we became a Certified B Corporation–joining just a few other restaurants worldwide in achieving this status. This certification is one of our proudest achievements. Being a certified B Corps solidifies our commitment to using our business as a source of good for our community. As part of our community outreach, we work with the Billion Oyster Project to help restore New York’s oyster reefs.

In addition to the big names, we also partner with the local fishing communities and shellfish farms in the New York area. Our longstanding relationships with the local seafood community enable us to provide the fresh, sustainable, and local seafood you’ve come to expect.

Private Events

Midtown

The OctoRoom offers complete privacy with four walls and a dedicated entrance. It features a striking skylight, exposed brick walls, as well as elegant French doors that open to a private, heated and covered balcony. You’ll also have a private bathroom, full bar, and our raw bar, where oysters are freshly shucked and uniquely displayed for guests to pluck right off the ice.

Upper East Side

Nestled in our Upper East Side location, the Whale Room is the neighborhood’s newest elevated private event space, designed to inspire. With a striking skylight, it perfectly captures a cozy Montauk vibe, blended with classic New York City elements like an eye-catching copper tin ceiling and exposed brick walls.

Upper West Side

Situated in the rear of our Upper West Side location, this elevated Mezzanine offers a private-feeling atmosphere. It is connected to, but distinctly separate from the front dining room. The spacious room is also incredibly inviting, cozy, and bright.
