    Thai Calamari
    Steve S.

    I came here for my girlfriends birthday, with some friends, for a Saturday brunch. This place was very nice. You get some great views of the water. Once we were seated, we ordered a few appetizers to split. We tried the Buffalo chicken wings and the Thai calamari. Both of these items were very delicious. The wings were nice and crispy, and had awesome Buffalo flavor. The ranch dipping sauce made it that much better. The Thai calamari was a nice switch up from the traditional style ones. We enjoyed both of these apps. For my meal, I went with the Steakhouse sandwich. This was sliced grilled steak, with toppings, on a sandwich with curly fries. This was a pretty solid sandwich. It tasted great and hit the spot. I was very satisfied with my meal choice. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Overall, we all had a nice time here, and everything we tried was great.

    It's my third visit here & I was happy with the food & the service. I came with a friend unplanned & wanted to try something different. He got a salad with shrimp & I got the salmon which comes with a salad. I liked the salmon but the salad was quite sweet . I had to add hot sauce to make it less sweet. It's hilarious how I wished to add some chopped chilies into my salad. Christmas decor is quit beautiful & you all know me. Gotta take some pictures. We were all alone by the time we left so we did have fun with a cup of Cappuccino!

    This is was first time here and I must say I was impressed. The food and the service were amazing! This is a nice place to celebrate special occasions or just casual dining. The decor and the views of the water creates a nice ambiance.

    Salmon

    Looking for a quick casual business lunch I stumbled upon Blue en route to the Staten Island Ferry. I was not disappointed based on quick/attentive service, spectacular views and robust menu. Starting with the calamari, which maintained the right level of heat and flavor, followed by the salmon. The salmon was tasteful and ample yet not as fresh as I preferred and only reason for 4 stars. Certainly a place I would visit again if in Staten Island and the same predicament.

    The food was delicious. The salmon was not over cooked and tasted delicious. My only gripe was that i had two small pieces of figs. My friend who also got the same meal had more. Everyone loved their food, myself included. The staff was very friendly. Service was prompt and helpful. The ambiance was lovely. I didn't give 5 stars because of the drinks. I needed to order shots to add to the drinks (passion fruit monitor and coconut mojito) because it tasted mostly of club soda. Other than that, just lovely.

    The food here is always on point. I arrived and had a drink at the bar. The staff was super friendly and the drink was perfectly made. The bar area was clean and as soon as clients got up from the bar, the bartender Nelson was right there cleaning up. The manager and hostess checked me in before my reservation time. They escorted me to the side room which was a first for me. The windows give you a nice scenic view of passing ships and the railroad track was cool. There is no train service that comes through. The food was amazing. I had the Thai calamari to start. Perfectly fried and seasoned and most importantly fresh. I followed with the chicken sorentino. Two nice sized chicken breasts, fresh eggplant, Italian ham, and cheese cooked in a perfect lemon butter sauce. They brought over homemade mashed potatoes perfectly plated. The waiter was very professional and it overall it was an amazing experience. I finished the night with another drink at the bar. There is plenty of parking, the restaurant is clean, the bathrooms are maintained and clean. It's always a great experience here.

    Stuffed Sole
    Paula J.

    Blue is one of my favorites and for great reasons. If you have not visited Blue in a bit like me, you should make a reservation and check out the update decor. It's beautiful!! As always the service was excellent l. Kaitlyn was efficient, warm, friendly and professional, she was attentive and personable. The food was delicious, we had the stuffed Sole, the salmon, mango sangria and tiramisu for dessert. We'll be back soon.

    Quesadillas... lil' bits of heaven..yum!
    Yayi U.

    This place is beautiful- right by the water. we had quesadillas and the Bolognese... delicious! delicious! delicious! We tried the sangria but not thrilled. However, it didn't matter.The vibe is so relaxed and the staff is superb. On my fave list for sure.

    Tomahawk steak for two
    Rashid B.

    Recently returned here after a long time, and the place has undergone some impressive updates! The exterior has beautiful new landscaping and awnings, and the back outdoor space is now a sunroom. The staff remains super friendly. Our dinner was a bit delayed, but it was a busy Friday night. We had two appetizers: Thai Calamari and Grilled Octopus, followed by the Tomahawk for two, which was more than enough for us to finish. Everything was fairly good, but the quality didn't quite match our previous experiences on quieter nights. Despite the busy atmosphere affecting the service and food quality, we still believe this place adds great value to the island and our community, so we're maintaining our positive rating. Regarding Yelp, I recently had my Elite status removed after 8 years because I'm a business owner. Despite not being related or affiliated with any food businesses--only a local real estate office in NY--Yelp managers believe a business owner shouldn't be an Elite reviewer. In my opinion, being a business owner shouldn't disqualify someone from providing honest and fair reviews of unrelated businesses. My reviews are meant to be helpful and honest, and I believe that shouldn't affect my Elite status.

    Phenomenal dinner! Service is perfect! Excellent mango sangria, vanilla raspberry martinis and Irish coffee, thank you Lindsey, our magnificent bartender! Your superior skillset is well noted! Thai calamari, risotto, chocolate raspberry wantons, and cannolis made for a delicious dinner! Thank you, Giovani, for sharing your delicious expertise! Great vibe! Pretty setting makes for an enjoyable dining experience as well! Thank you all for your hospitality, especially Jeff! Looking forward to your Wine tasting on Sept. 26th

    My first time here and it was ok for me. The location is great. Definitely enjoy a dinner by the water. Very nice ambiance. Our waitress I think her name was Kaitlyn was awesome very engaging and attentive. I had the crab stuffed lobster with risotto. I enjoyed the lobster not the risotto so much. It was my first time having it and I wouldn't order it again. However the waitress was very accommodating asking if I wanted a different side not her fault so I opted out. The crab cake was ok more fried I would have preferred a broiled option and for dessert I had the key lime pie which was delicious. I can't say it would be my first choice to go back however I would return. Great customer service and ambiance.

    I found this place by accident. I was heading down. Hylan, toward a diner that I like. I saw name…read moreon the sign, and it looked like a nice restaurant. Not knowing what type of a restaurant it is, I decided to stop in. What a pleasant surprise. It was a Turkish restaurant. There was a good amount of people in there, but it looked like I was the only "white boy." Everybody was very friendly, and the place was clean. I liked the atmosphere. I started with the baba ghanoush. I loved it. The flavor of the roasted eggplant was delicious. And the roasted flavor kept it from being too rich. It was creamy and delicious. I almost didn't have enough bread to put it on. And believe me, I was piling the bread high with that stuff. There was also a small bowl of marinated green olives on the side. I normally do not like green olives, but these were fantastic. The olive oil marinade kept them from being too bitter for me. For my main course, I had the Adana kebab. Ground lamb, red bell pepper, and paprika. I had a small, which was one kebab. It also came with a very nice marinated salad, and a decent size portion of rice, which was tender and had a good flavor to it. It also came with a red sauce and a tzatziki sauce.. the red sauce was too spicy for me, and the tzatziki I put some of it on the rice, and then the rest I dipped my kebab. The kebab wasn't spicy at all, and the red bell pepper, and the paprika gave it a great flavor, it was not gamey like lamb can be. It was also very tender. Everything was so good, I ended up finishing the entire dinner, and I was stuffed. I would've loved to try a Turkish coffee, but it was like 8 PM, and I didn't want to be up for the rest of the night... :). The price was reasonable. The only reason I'm taking off a star, is because they add an automatic 18% gratuity to the check, and then there's also a spot down at the bottom for a second gratuity. That's why you need to read your check very carefully. If you don't notice the automatic gratuity, you might end up paying a double tip. I thought the automatic 18% gratuity was more than fair. This was a great place. They also do breakfast. I would like to come in and try breakfast sometime. Thank you.

    Good food. Bad service. Shady tip suggestions…read more The food was good but the waiter never came back to refill water, check on us, or refill bread. They will come back to ask you for dessert, at which point, you aren't in the mood anymore. There was a mixup with one order in my group. I don't know if it was the manager's fault (who also was the waiter) or if it was mine. I pointed this out as soon as the food arrived at the table. The manager made ZERO effort to help fix the situation. He did not care at all. To further emphasize that this restaurant cares about money over customers, the receipt has ridiculous errors in it. It first assigns an 18% tip in the total for a group. But then at the bottom of the receipt, also lists tip amounts ranging from 18% to 25% to ADD ON TOP of your grand total which ALREADY included the automatic tip. So if you hadn't noticed that the tip was already in the total, you would be tipping them AGAIN on the total of food, tax, and automatic tip. There are many, many other Middle Eastern restaurants opening up all over Staten Island. Will be giving the others a try instead.

    At first glance, the area might not raise your expectations--it's a bit on the shabby side--but…read moredon't let that fool you. This place turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Parking is convenient, with spots available on both sides of the restaurant and across the street, which is always a plus in New Jersey. Once inside, the atmosphere completely shifts. The interior is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed, giving off an authentic and comfortable vibe. The staff were equally impressive--attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The food lived up to the experience. Everything we tried was flavorful and well-prepared, though I would say it leans toward the more expensive side. Paying 18% and then 2 % card fee seems a bit much on the top of that the courses were a bit pricey. That said, the quality is there. The fresh bread and olives served at the start were exactly what we needed--simple, delicious, and perfect after arriving hungry. Overall, a great find that rises well above its surroundings. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

    Interior design is so aesthetically pretty and provides a wonderful and elegant dining experience!…read moreThe service provided by Behrouz was attentive, friendly, and warm, which definitely helped enhance the dining experience! Now onto the main topic, the food: This is by far one of the better middle eastern/seafood restaurant in all of Staten Island! The appetizers that were amazing were the chargrilled octopus, which is a MUST-GET, and the half dozen oysters which was by far one of the sweetest oysters we ever had (it was so good we ordered 3 orders!) The tuna tartare, calamari, and lobster bisque were all decent but nothing too special. For entree, the lobster pasta was perhaps one of the best tomato based pasta I ever had! Although the amount of lobster in the dish was on the smaller amount for its price, the flavor was so savory, sweet, and perfectly tangy, highly recommend it! The sea bass was good according to my family, but the flavor was on the milder side in my opinion; they liked it nonetheless so perhaps it's just a personal preference at this point. The lamb shank I would not get due to how overpowering it was; the sauce was salty and intense, where it overwhelmed every part of the dish. It was unfortunate because the lamb was so tender and had a nice proportion between its meatiness and its fat content. The dry aged steak was only okay too, since the spinach was so watery it soaked the steak in its liquid (as you can see from the photo), which detracted from the dish unfortunately. Overall it was a decent dining experience, where some were amazing and others were less so. It's a pricey dining experience but if you get all the right dishes, it's worth the price tag! Definitely recommend giving Sea Bar a try and I can't wait to come back again one day to give them the five stars I know they can definitely accomplish! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

They had the grilled watermelon salad and beets apps also delicious . Bronzino that was given was a hearty amount. The drinks were on point. They sang happy birthday and even though the kitchen was closed they made sure we didn't feel rushed or pressured. Can't wait to come try more and to get the soup again. See you there
