Run like a thief in the night with Seafood Mixer on Seward Ave. in Soundview. The plot where…read moreSeafood M. stands has become near and dear to the hearts of many Soundviewians. Including me. Whoever the business developers are, they took this overgrown grassy lot that's been vacant for the last 40 or so odd years and built a multi-business structure from scratch and Seafood M. dove in deep with it. I'll truthfully credit this find to my daughter- who, on her recent Holiday visit staying with Grandma, found this place on a whim. I jumped on it too days later. The first 2 dishes my kid got were the steamed AND seasoned Crab Legs+veggies and a steamed shrimp platter for my mom. According to her, my kid devoured the crab legs- which were perfectly steamed without making the shells soft. And my Mom's steamed Shrimp platter had a considerable amount of plump shrimp with a light seasoning that didn't overpower the seafood. On my recent trip though, I picked up the 3 piece Catfish-only meal and the 4 piece Whiting (the owner actually threw in like one or two pieces in there- thank you!). Both delicious. I may not be Southern, but I know a good dredge on fried fish when I see it and taste it. Renée(sp?) the owner- uses a fantastic and light that holds its own and doesn't crack into dust. The space may seem untidy- so don't come here for looks. Just come for the food. But, Renée has a great thing going and at 3 years strong, she's creating a sense of community and flare when Soundview never had a stand-alone fried fish/fish market spot. Wishing you much more success.

Needed to get lunch after riding the NYC Ferry for 2 hours. Decided to hit this place up as wifey…read moreloves seafood. Was seated right away. Not busy at all. Ordered the lobster roll and the fried softshell crab po boy. Both came with fries - if you decline the fries you save $1.50. If you change it to sweet potato fries it's $1 more. We got the sweet potato fries without knowing this until we got our bill. Either way there was a wait for the food. But it was pretty good. The po boy was seasoned well. The bread that it came on was toasted perfectly and not too much. The sweet potato fries were standard. As for the lobster roll it was weird in that most places usually offer it hot with butter or cold with mayo. This place it was hot with mayo but wifey liked it. Service was good except for the effort on the upsell to garlic noodles. No thanks. Oh and they sell corn dogs too!

My classmates and I had Cap't Loui for lunch and while their seafood boil and garlic noodles were…read moreabsolutely delicious....the lobster roll was terrible. Too much mayo, way too soggy, and the temperature was off. They are definitely on the pricey side but the boils were worth it. The drinks were refreshing as well. I recommend them for their noodles, fish and chips, and boils but do not waste your money trying the lobster roll. Also add some of the Cajun sauce onto your noodles it's a great combo.

We stopped in at Bally's Waterfront Restaurant near Ferry Point Park, adjacent to the Whitestone…read moreBridge. Guests enter through the gift shop, which was an unexpected touch. The restaurant itself is attractive, bright, spacious, and decidedly upscale. Although we had made a reservation, it really wasn't necessary on a weekday. The hostess warmly invited us to sit wherever we liked and promptly provided menus and a beverage list. Unfortunately, the service got off to a slow start. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty, it took quite a while for our server to acknowledge us and take our order. A few more minutes and we were prepared to leave. My dining companion ordered the hamburger, while I chose the Cubano sandwich. Both dishes were attractively presented and quite tasty. The food was definitely the highlight of the experience. Our primary disappointment was the service. The server never formally welcomed us or introduced herself. Given the Bally's brand and the restaurant's upscale appearance, I expected a more polished level of hospitality. Obtaining our check was also a lengthy process. At one point, our server appeared engaged in conversation with the bartender, then walked past our table and disappeared into the kitchen for several minutes. Upon her return, I had to raise my hand to get her attention. To be fair, she was pleasant and courteous, but she wasn't particularly attentive--especially considering that we appeared to be her only active table. I had noticed similar comments about inconsistent service in previous reviews and assumed they reflected busy weekend conditions. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case during our visit. We had considered staying for dessert, but decided against making the additional time investment. Now that I've experienced Bally's Waterfront Restaurant, I don't think I'll be returning.

The demand is so far through the roof that there is a nightly line for hungry folks looking to get a bite of their of their Egyptian / Mediterranean fare. By Ditmars standards, the place feels large and spacious. Their renovation from a few years ago is really paying off, Waiting is a part of the experience, as folks will eventually pick items from the display and cooked to their liking. It's hard to go wrong with anything on the display which for me include stheir chunky octopus tentacles, their succulent butterfly shrimp, grilled fish, and tasty grilled scallops. For a good time, combine it with babaganoush, lemon potatoes, beet salad, and wash it down with a mint lemonade. Service isn't the warmest, but dealing with a bunch of folks in line all day always creates a hardened attitude. Most are fluent in Arabic and English.

However, I do also suggest noting the sauce on the menu so that there are no surprises for picky customers. Truffle fries were cooked to perfection. My table also ordered a lobster roll and wings.
