The oysters were incredible!! I'm not a huge fan of po-boys, but the bread was soft and it didn't have too much mayo, which is what I prefer. I added hot sauce provided on the counter. The staff was friendly and they even threw in a coffee & chicory panna cotta for us to taste, which was delicious. I would definitely come back for the oysters and to try either the gumbo or the crawfish etouffee. Would be back a lot more often if they had a special drink happy hour considering the food is a bit pricey.

Came for Happy hour since I was in the neighborhood and haven't been in a long time. I was surprised that Josè remembered me at the bar so kudos to him I was really impressed. I had my usuals: Grilled oysters, raw oysters, and wings. Grilled oysters were tasty as always. Jose offered a lemon based hot sauce for them which I liked. The raw oysters were fresh and came with Pico de gaello; it is innovative and pairs really well. I loved it on the oysters. The Wings as always were really tasty, fried well and paired wit the lemon hot sauce made it even better. A1 Of course the drinks never dissapoint. Aside from Happy-hour there's a regular menu. Decent prices & options available. Definitely go check them out.

We were a party of 4 yesterday and the food made us sick and had to go to urgent care. The mussels…read moretasted funny and we didn't finish them. My kids were violently throwing up. The next day which is today. We've been in bed whole day. The service was slow and the server messed up on the bill. The host questioned my child (which is a minor) about if the bill was taken care of instead of finding out from the server himself. How dare you question a minor instead of the adult to see if the bill was cleared. If I was there that wouldn't have happened. I stepped away to go to the washroom after paying the bill, which was incorrect. I even questioned it and was reassured that it was correct. To only have my child questioned about something they would know nothing about. Teach your staff about approaching children about adult matters. The setting was ok. It's just that the food wasn't fresh, tasteless, and made our stomach hurt and had to go to urgent care. We will not be rerunning that business again and I highly recommend that you don't either.

Tried their homemade drink, the gogo juice, which I cut with sparkling water for the whole night and was excellent. Definitely worth a return trip. So good

We decided to the set menu where you get to chose an assortment of sides and mains. We decided on watermelon salad, okra kimchi and potato salad for our sides. The watermelon kimchi and the okra really stood out. The sauce of the watermelon was fresh, light and full of flavor. While the okra was crunchy and not too slimey. We also went with the blackened catfish, and japchae balls. Both of which were solid! For our mains we did the crab curry, the fried chicken, and the brisket with grits. The chicken was battered to perfection, it was airy and not too heavy. The grits were done beautifully, the texture wasn't overly wet and mushy! Normally not a grits gal but it was sooo good. Some of the pieces of meat were rendered while some were a bit tough. The staff even threw in cornbread for our table which was very sweet! The crab curry had a very seafood front flavor, trust you knew crab was in that curry. We ended with both desserts the yakault drink being a crowd favorite!

The Honey Lychee Soju was a sweet but balanced drink. I split the Friend's combo with two people and this was plenty of food that could've been split between 4 to 5 people, the lobster tail was an added item. The combo came with potatoes, sausage, corn, a side of garlic cheese noodles and sweet potato fries!! Everything was good and fresh. The garlic noodles reminded me of a spaghetti with alfredo, that is made better if you add a little of the seafood boil sauce to it. The Original Cajun with mild heat had just the right amount of seasoning and heat. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal!

The service was terrible waiter was not attentive she got my order wrong and she didn't seem interested in waiting tables her attitude was a little off putting. I ordered king crab muscles and head on shrimp as well as a clam chowder. My friend ordered the garlic noodles. We also ordered drinks. The garlic noodles were just a small scoop of fishy noodles my friend hated them. The muscles shrimp and crab were in a good sauce it was very flavorful. The clam chowder was good as well the crackers were stale though. However I feel like the price was a little pricey for what we got and the service charge for terrible service is crazy. Although the sauce was good we won't be back.

Visiting Filé Gumbo Bar in Tribeca is like taking a quick culinary trip to one of my favorite…read morecities: New Orleans. Known for what many consider some of NYC's best gumbo, Filé also serves fried catfish, jambalaya, char-grilled oysters, beignets, and an extensive cocktail selection. On my most recent visit, we arrived at 3 p.m. and ordered from the prix-fixe lunch menu. An added bonus was being able to take advantage of happy-hour pricing on drinks and appetizers--a great combination that made an already appealing lunch even better. Filé Gumbo Bar opened its doors in Tribeca in 2022, bringing a distinctly Louisiana sensibility to downtown Manhattan. The restaurant showcases Cajun and Creole classics prepared right at the bar, built around slow-cooked, flavor-packed roux and a choice of proteins. The gumbo is simmered and finished in a steam kettle, making the cooking process part of the dining experience. I usually take a seat at the bar, where I can watch the chefs work their magic at the restaurant's intricate custom steam-kettle cooking station. Individual bowls of gumbo and jambalaya are cooked and finished right in front of you. There's something almost theatrical about watching the process as the aromas of roux, sausage, seafood, and spices fill the room. The décor reinforces the New Orleans connection without becoming kitschy. Mustard-yellow leather banquettes, stamped-tin ceilings, and whitewashed brick walls create a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of Southern charm. Even the bread has a Louisiana connection: it is shipped directly from Leidenheimer Baking Company, the legendary New Orleans bakery whose French bread is a local institution. For anyone missing the Crescent City--or simply looking for a memorable taste of Louisiana in Manhattan--Filé Gumbo Bar is well worth a visit.

My friend ordered the blackened swordfish and was told there was no more( we got there at 5:30) so they gave catfish instead. The caramel cornbread was tooo sweet and the caramel was burnt so I didn't eat it. I got to watch then make the gumbo since I sat at the bar and it was semi entertaining.

A lobster tail would charge $64 for less than a third of a pound and $140 for two crab legs that equal a half of a pound and the restaurant told me to deal with it. They blatant rip off at the restaurant acknowledge that that was how they charge. To charge me $65. for a quarter of a pound of lobster tail is criminal. I will never in the history of all mankind ever order from establishment again as the last time I ordered I got a very nice size meal and this I now have to go order a pizza so I can get full. Shame on you for starting $200 for .8 pounds of food. Disgusting unprofessional, and shameful. Other than that, hope everybody's having a great day.

It was delicious. Idk what made me order that. I wasn't in the mood for fried food and because the seafood disappointed me the last time I refused to try it again at least for now.
