Came here to celebrate my anniversary and left with a full stomach and a happy heart. All of our food and drinks were delicious and beautiful and the service was impeccable. I didn't feel rushed, finished plates were cleared without asking, and our waitress (sorry we forgot your name but you made this dinner amazing for us) was very fun and made sure we were good on time since we told her we were going to see Bruno mars at sofi. Everything we ordered was amazing. I was just a tad bit disappointed by their signature squash buns and their Dutch apple pie. The buns just tasted like regular stale dinner rolls warmed up and the apple pie slice was cold and bland. The salted caramel sauce was the star of the dessert. Only downside was how hot that place was with the sun going down and being directly at us. Crazy we're having this bad of a heat wave in the middle of October. I will definitely be thinking about this dinner for a while. We probably would've stayed longer for some drinks and hung out at the beach for the sunset, but Bruno was waiting for us. Thank you guys so much, we'll definitely be back!
Visit FWD for its incredible raw bar full of incredible oysters and crab claws. Start with an appetizer of sashimi or a crab cake. Enjoy amazing seafood just blocks from the ocean at golden hour. Jonah Crab Fusilli: The spiral fusilli pasta perfectly captures the creamy orange vodka sauce. Each bite bursts with a savory and tangy tomato and sweet basil finish. The Calabrian chili adds some spark to the flavors. They are generous with the Jonah crab. The tender meat is shucked so its sweet flavor blends beautifully with the sharp sauce. The fluffy Parmigiano Reggiano melts for a nutty briny punch of flavor. Parking: There's plenty of street parking in the surrounding neighborhood. There are also public garages.
My second time here and everything was creative and delicious Raw scallops on shells: 5/5 Shrimp cocktail: 4/5 Snow crab claws: delicious but tiny 4/5 Black cod on tostadas: 5/5 Cold soba noodles with lightly cured king salmon 5/5 Koshihikari rice with uni, shrimp and crab meat 5/5 Overall 5/5 experience
Delicious. Seriously, a must-try! This is one of those small hole-in-the-wall spots that absolutely delivers when it comes to flavor. The seafood was incredibly fresh and the service was attentive from start to finish. The Cali oysters are TO DIE FOR and easily worth ordering. But the scallops and tuna tartare? Out of this world. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Definitely one of those places I'm already thinking about going back to. I'll be here as often as I can!
Great service, excellent food and atmosphere. We came in for a late lunch (2pm) today and had some items from the raw bar including three different types of oysters, crab and scallops. We also tried the koshihikari rice and the black cod. Everything was delicious. We ended the meal with the key lime pie and the apple pie with chai tea ice cream. This is a keeper and I plan to return for some more good eats!
Incredibly fresh seafood at a not so baby friendly restaurant. The place is small and quite cramped. We took our 13 month old and man was it so so cramped in there, parents, please leave your babies/toddlers at home or opt to eat outside (we couldn't since it was raining). We ordered oysters, snow crab claws, octopus blue crab ceviche, steamed Manila clams, and key lime pie for dessert. The steamed Manila clams were a total let down. The broth was so overly salted it overpowered the clams completely. HOWEVER, the oysters, crab claws, ceviche, and key lime pie were nothing short of DIVINE. We woke up the next morning still raving about them. Favorite dish hands down was the ceviche- a literal sea flavor bomb! We ended up asking for the pie to go and our server was sweet enough to not charge us for it for celebrating our anniversary. It was such a great balance and sweet, salty, and sour. Overall, aside of the cramped space and super salty clam steamer, we thoroughly enjoyed our food.
Love love love every bite and sip that we had at this place. Is it pricey? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. Banhattan - yummy manhattan (strong) with a sweet hint of banana. I only needed this one drink at lunch. Oysters from Baja - so good and fresh Koishi... rice. Tasty and hard to describe how delicious this was and unique. Soft shell crab with Singaporean noodles - spicy and delicious. This was a seasonal special. Key lime dessert - a must for everyone no matter if you are stuffed. This dessert topped off a wonderful meal and was worth every penny. Hands down, best dessert that I've eaten in a long time. Overall, this place is top notch and I will come again when I'm back in town and bring friends.
Such a great spot! The seafood is fresh and delicious--I especially love the oysters, shrimp cocktail, and champagne. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff are wonderful. Highly recommend!
Crazy name, wonderful dining experience. You'll want to make a rezzy because, justifiably so, FwD gets busy. Though there are a few outdoor tables, we opted for Inside. Definitely suited our sensibilities to be close to the heart of this treasure, plus it can get cold out there! When our friendly and helpful server learned that we'd never been to FwD before, we were both treated a tasty amuse, a Peruvian scallop, one of their specialties. Served chilled, absolute heaven. Simple, fresh, delicious, and very pretty atop its shell. We ordered an appetizer, a different scallop dish, Pan Seared Diver Scallops. (Parsnip-potato puree, brown butter ponzu, capers). So good. Succulent, perfectly cooked and devilishly satisfying with its rich, savory flavor. We enjoyed the one dish that have been on their menu since the beginning, Koshihikari Rice. (short-grain Japanese rice, overnight chicken dashi, shrimp, uni, blue crab, cage-free egg yolk.) Wow. So much happening here, and yet it's a complete package. All the ingredients meld together sumptuously. It akin to Paella, or perhaps to a stuffed Risotto, although the Koshihikari Rice was very much its own dish. The server swerved and mixed the egg yolk on our plate, and we loved it. Our strategy to try a number of dishes and yet still have room for dessert worked. Many great choices, and I doubt we'd be disappointed with anything. However, we had heard from the table next to use that the key-lime pie was must. Happily, they were right. This Key Lime Pie is just sweet and just tart enough. Though I am not Key Lime Pie expert, this one struck me as imaginative with its meringue colony crowding the pie's surface for additional dessert debauchery. There nothing overwhelmingly citrusy about it, and it was light enough to help you feel satisfied and just right. The coffee was good, too. This is a low-key yet lovely dining experience in Manhattan Beach.
Was looking for a spot to eat at manhattan beach and based on my trusty yelpers reviews this seemed like the foodie spot to try. They weren't wrong. We started with the ceviche in Clamato with pieces of crab and avocado served with a delicious tortilla chips. I absolutely loved the flavor profile and couldn't get enough of the Clamato sauce. Then we moved to the weekend only special sea urchin, which Stephanie's parents personally bring down from Santa Barbara for weekend service. I'm usually indifferent at best to sea urchin, but this was excellent Then we shared the Jonah Crab Fusilli, another winner. I was driving, but hubby ordered a banhattan and it was another winner. They also have some beer and wine options as well as a full bar. Though very full by this point, just couldn't resist the pretzel bread pudding. The bread portion was crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside with a delicious salty caramel sauce. Served with a very smooth and delectable scoop of ice cream. There's indoor and outdoor seating. If you want to sit inside best to make a reservation. We did not have reservations, but were lucky to get outside seating. Service was fluid with different people coming around to ensure everything was tidy. Really enjoyed one of the staff, a young girl who cleared our table and delivered some of the dishes. Loved her chill surferish vibes.
FWD was soooo good. We had originally planned to go somewhere else but saw some great reviews of this place. We called to see if there was any availability (Sat evening) and the hostess said that they were completely booked however since there were only 2 of us she was able to get us a 6:30p reservation! It's a pretty tiny place on the corner but the vibes were chill. We were seated right away at the oyster bar. The sun was setting so it was full on in our faces but it did go down by the time we got our food. So it wasn't too bad. We ordered the oysters to start - Kumamoto, pacific gold and queens cup. So fresh! Love that they aren't super big in size. If you like more of a sweeter taste go for the Kumamoto or pacific gold. The queens cup is for the saltier taste. All good. The hamachi sashimi with guacamole was amazing. All the flavors weren't too overbearing The koshihikari rice was delicious and creamy with the egg yolk. It had so many seafood meat chunks like the shrimp, crab and even uni pieces. It was kind of like a risotto. Don't skip out on the grilled tacos. We ordered the fish and the shrimp. So refreshing and the grilled texture was perfect. For dessert we got the bread pudding with salted caramel and mascarpone ice cream. Gooey and sweet but the salted Carmel balanced out the sweetness. Great way to end dinner. Would definitely come back again!!!
This is a cute seafood restaurant in the heart of Manhattan beach. It's also one of the few places in the area with raw clams - little neck. The staff is every nice and reservation Is highly recommended as it's a small place and it's very popular. Wild Spanish octopus - great dish to share Tuna tonnato toast- a unique dish with tuna on a toast. Also good to share Littlebeck clams - must have Grilled rock cod tacos - they were very tasty as well. Parking can be challenging. Plan ahead.
I normally only go to restaurants once unless it's an all-time favorite, but Fishing with Dynamite definitely deserves that status. Came here with a last-minute reservation on a Monday night and every single dish was perfect.
Ambiance - neighborhood restaurant vibe Service - excellent Food - hubby and I had a late lunch here today. We shared a clam chowder soup for $14 (love that it had clam shells, tiny chunks of bacon and croutons; it was delicious), crab cake for $26 (it was moist and did not have too many fillers - hubby liked it) and we each got an order of shrimp/fish tacos - 2 tacos per order). The fish taco did not have much of a flavor but the shrimp taco was bursting with flavor - after I poured the green salsa). Each taco order was $19. With tip, our total bill was $104. Overall, we thought it was good meal but a bit overpriced. read more
The food, incredible! Uni available on weekends, it was incredible. Terrific oyster selection, also had raw scallops available, all were delicious. The fish sandwich was delicious with a homemade gribiche (a tartar sauce upgrade). The rice dish was otherworldly, creamy like a risotto with crab, shrimp, etc. the desserts were delicious, too. It's a small friendly venue with outdoor seating, a good bar selection and super friendly service. Will go again when back in Manhattan Beach. read more
We got a ton of stuff here and everything was fabulous. Started with some oysters, a salad, and bread rolls. The rolls were warm and buttery. The oysters were fresh but quite small for the price (we wanted them to be small though). For entrees, I had the most amazing fish sandwich and my cousin and aunt split the crab pasta and the rice dish. The crab pasta had a wonderful meaty flavor that almost reminded us of bolognese. I was sad that I was almost too full to eat more of it. The fries with the fish sandwich were thin and crispy and salty- my favorite type of fry. The sandwich itself was juicy and flavorful, and it had the most amazing sauce on it. We were sadly too full for dessert but I'm sure it would've been great. We were helped by a waitress who gave us some food recommendations and was attentive. Cute location and interior by the water in MB. read more

My partner and I are fine diners and enjoy eating the best food all over the world. We've waited so long to give FWD a chance, and finally did last night. The food is very seafood forward and incredibly fresh. The raw bar was impressive and definitely memorable. Most of the food though pricy, was very tasty. Lacking for us was the service you'd expect in a Michelin acknowledged restaurant. The meal was dysfunctional, servers and manager seemed stressed, and weird things happened. The bathroom was also gross and not clean. We will definitely be back at some point, but it wasn't five stars for us considering we spent over $300. read more

Maryland crab cake 4/5 about average. Japanese hamachi sashimi 5/5 all the flavors blended perfectly Clams 4.5/5 some clams had sand. This is a good apetizer as it comes with bread. Had the halibut. That dish depends on person's preference. The sauce is nice touch. read more

What a delicious meal! Every dish we ordered was en pointe and memorable, with the baywater sweets and beausoleil oysters, koshihikari rice, fried fish sandwich, and key lime pie as my personal standouts! The place is quite cozy and quaint inside, so it's best to make reservations ahead. There is even metered parking right out front. 'Nuff said, must try! read more

In the Middle of July this place was so good! The place can get really crowded and parking can be tricky. There is parking close by and if you are lucky, someone might just pull out when you're circling the place. If Not there is meter parking up the hill . The raw scallops and oysters are served on ice and they are delicious! Very refreshing with a cocktail or drink . We sat outside so it was. Ice but pretty warm in July if the sun is shining on you. Servers do keep an eye on you if you you might need something and they do keep the glasses of water filled. Great place with a great vibe, a cool spot in Manhattan beach! Will definitely be coming back ! read more
The service was absolutely amazing and attentive. It's a small but cozy spot by the beach with ample outdoor seating as well. I enjoyed my amazing seafood meal along with a cocktail made extra sweet for me. Great seafood selection with unique flavors, especially the hamachi sashimi that came with guacamole-- delicious!! My koshikari rice was perfect for a chilly day and the perfect combo of salty and seafood. read more
Overall experience was 4/5! Food: Sashimi - 5/5. The fresh was really fresh and perfectly paired with the guac and radishes. I especially enjoyed the ginger/citrus sauce. Crab cakes -3.5/5. As expected. This wasn't spectacular but solidly okay. Lobster roll (butter) - 3/5. This was okay. I loved the buttered toast but the Lobster itself was underwhelming and the fires were a bit salty. Bouillabaisse 4/5. This was good. Everything tasted super fresh and the sauce..very good. Key lime pie 5/5. No notes, amazing - get it. Parking: it's gonna be annoying. It's only street parking and will be hot mess express every day of the week. read more
We went on a Sunday afternoon with a group of six and two big dogs (with reservation) and they got us a great table outside. Service was excellent -on the receipt Server's name as Shelbi but everyone who served us including the hostesses were great. We also found non metered free street parking a couple blocks away towards the residential area. Food- We got the oysters and raw scallops for appetizer-I ordered the Ichiban oysters. Both raw appetizers were fresh and delicious. I would hands down get both again. We also got the Maryland blue crab cake which is a single somewhat large crab cake. I personally did not feel the crab cake was cooked through enough as it was mushy/soggy and this was my least favorite item. I thought though that the other items and the amazing service made up for this. We also got the clam chowder, koshihikari rice (somewhat like seafood risotto), and each got the Connecticut style warm lobster rolls -which comes with fries. The clam chowder was a bit thin in consistency and less like a chowder... I wouldn't order that again either. The rice was truly unique and delicious and the lobster rolls were good but for 44 dollars I would have liked a bit more lobster. they split the rolls for you if you ask without charging you and they also helped us light the candles on the birthday cake and plated each slice on a nice plate (not disposable) without charging a cake cutting fee even though we brought in our own cake. As I stated the service here is phenomenal! I didn't do cocktails but everyone else liked their cocktails. I would recommend this restaurant and I would definitely be back. The seafood platter we saw the table next to us get looked really yummy and I would want to try it. The area nearby was really nice with little dessert ice cream shops and coffee shops.they even helped us to store the cake in their fridge for an hour after we ate while we walked around with the doggies. Cant compliment the service here enough. read more
This was a great place! Especially just dropping by on a whim between LAX & OC. Love the cozy shipboard feel: Fun graphic design + tight spaces like the impossibly cozy yet not uncomfortable bar. Service was great, our guy knew all the oysters and everything, and speaking of, I'm newly deciding I don't hate them, so it was great to share a half dozen west coast oysters with my honey pie. And then we shared the Koshihikari Rice, wow, every bite was amazing so many flavors. Definitely will seek FWD out the next time we pass thru. read more
Met a client here for lunch and wow was I ever impressed. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Oysters were amazing ambiance was cute sea themed, plus the name sticks out too. Not a big place but very impressive and lived up to their Michelin Star read more
First time here. Service was A1!!! We sat at the bar. Did not have reservations. Daughter ordered the Koshihikari Rice which the hubby and her loved. Our daughter has come here before and referred us. We also ordered drinks ... the Samba, Burn Bey-Bee Burn, The L Word, Let's Get Shipwrecked and For The Shell Of It. Jessica was sooo amazing. The place is clean. Set up is nice. The servers were so attentive and made sure the inside and out looked amazing. The food is pretty pricey. The Koshihikari Rice was $39. We had a great time here. The ambiance is so nice. We came here on a Wednesday. They are so welcoming and make you feel completely welcomed. read more

Made a reservation for a weekday lunch, and there was only counter seating left- pretty busy! The place is pretty cozy, not many seats, but good vibes and very friendly staff. We ordered sashimi, oysters, clam chowder and the lobster roll. They asked if we were going to split and the clam chowder and lobster roll, which was nice cause the soup came in separate bowls. Really appreciated that! The food was sooo good. You can tell everything is fresh. The lobster roll is pricey, but you can tell by the quality! Clam chowder was very tasty as well- came with homemade oyster crackers which were really good! read more

Excellent drink read more

Located just steps away from Manhattan Beach, FWD offers a wide array of fresh seafood. The wine list is simple but offers everything you would want to pair with these beautifully plated dishes. The octopus was delicious! We ordered an assortment of raw seafood, including the sea urchin, tuna tartare and scallops, served with toast points. We decided to try the key lime pie and it was fantastic. Seating is limited so make sure you reserve the spot you desire- indoor or outdoor. We were seated outdoors, as we did not have a reservation, and were quite chilly. One improvement would be offering blankets on cold nights. Otherwise, FWD is everything I would want in a beachside restaurant. read more

4.5 stars Standouts for me were the Peruvian scallops (melts in your mouth with such a fresh zesty citrus marinade), crab cake (meat to breading ratio was excellent), and New England clam chowder (rich, warm, perfectly balanced by the crispy house made oyster crackers). The famous Koshihikari rice was a little too rich for my personal preference. The restaurant has limited seating and we ended up sitting at the bar - where we were served by the friendly bartender. In the future, I might come for some drinks and just hone in on the Peruvian scallops! The one thing that dampened our experience was the COLD - the door to the restaurant was open the entire night and the cold wind continuously blew in, forcing us to even change seats, I was forced to wrap myself in my beach towel. I can't even imagine having dinner in their "outside seating", which are a few lone tables on the side of the road. read more

I come to these places always for the seafood tower always! Lol I'm never in this area but this place has been bookmarked years ago. I'm so happy I finally get to try it. My friends rave about this place and I must say they are ruby. Everything is delicious and so fresh! The Chilled Soba Noodle Salad with bluefin tuna dish we ordered omg wow! Out of this world! Fresh Oysters are always on my must order list everytime and I was very pleased. read more

Food was phenomenal!! But I had it delivered through UberEats and the bag wasn't even stapled together. When ordering online and having it delivered restaurants need to secure the food. It's not that hard and it's a courtesy they need to extend for Uber Eats deliveries. No utensils or napkins in the bag. Epic fail for such expensive food. read more

If you want exceptionally fresh seafood, prepared in delicious and innovative ways, Fishing With Dynamite is the place to go! We loved the oysters, the pan seared Maine scallops, the misoyaki black cod, the wild Spanish octopus, and more. The ambiance is lively, fun and busy. I wish this restaurant was in the Bay Area so I could enjoy their food more often, but I can't wait to visit Fishing With Dynamite next time I am in LA. Fun cocktails, too! read more
We were just walking by and decided to stop and have a quick something because it's been on my list forever. They only had bar seating which was fine. It's a small restaurant but very cute. Our bartender/server, Sal was great. Very helpful. We got: half dozen oysters- good. Fresh. Not sure I know how to rate oysters. But the Half dozen of Peruvian scallops. Just wow. The grapefruit added to it was lovely. My husband who doesn't like grapefruit didn't mind it all. Crab cake- it's 1 large cake.....oh so delicious. Finally we got the tuna tartar. Presentation was lovely. This was I think my favorite dish. Look forward to coming back and trying out the larger entrees. read more

We've totally been sleeping on FWD! Having enjoyed our experience at Manhattan Beach Post many times, we always assumed the more casual, seafood focused sister restaurant next door would be a less incredible experience- boy were we wrong! We ordered the Hamachi Crudo, the Crab Cake, the Seared Diver Scallops and the Koshihikari Rice plus a dozen oysters (2 of each type on the menu that night). We also got the Key Lime and the Bread Pudding for dessert. Everything we ordered was stand out, and we were surprised to note that our least favorite dish was the Oysters. Our favorites were the Seared Diver Scallops with corn puree and the Hamachi Crudo. The sauces on both were master class - so much so that my husband pretty much licked the bowl. Our service was also top notch. We sat at the bar and were attended to by the bartender Elijah. He was so personal and knowledgeable- his drinks were also top notch. Even though the restaurant was slammed when we first arrived and the kitchen was slightly behind, he made sure we were considered and taken care of. He went above and beyond to make our evening memorable and was incredibly friendly and personable. From the food to the staff - everything about FWD was outstanding. 10/10 recommend. Next time we get an evening out without the kids again we will be back! read more

We discovered Fishing with Dynamite because it's one of the few restaurants close on westside that participates on InKind! This place is definitely is a local favorite because it was packed even on a weekday night! We opted to sit outside (despite needing puffer jackets due to the wind and cold) because our dog joined us. The waitress was super sweet and immediately got our dog water and asked us if it was okay if he got a few treats, to which Loki scarfed down in seconds. Moving onto the food: Koshihikari Rice (4/5): The flavors tasted great - it was almost like a risotto, which we didn't anticipate going into it. I would say the biggest let down was that though uni is listed as components for this dish, I didn't actually see or taste any uni - maybe it's blended into the sauce? Crab Cake (4/5): Tasted great, but I felt like the portion was on the smaller side for a 24 dollar appetizer. Comes with a side of salad, which was alright. I know that lump crab isn't cheap and it's an appetizer, but I really wish there was a bit more of it. Chilean Sea Bass (5/5): Amazing! I loved this dish so much, even though I was initially a little bit apprehensive about the orza (it initially reminded me of refried beans). The fish is buttery and cooked to perfection, the orza is full of flavor without overwhelming the taste of the fish. Everything in this dish works so well together - definitely a must order here. This dish is something that I think the restaurant can proudly call a signature dish - it's something that I really haven't seen done elsewhere and it's executed perfectly. Key Lime Pie (5/5): I've lived in South Florida for 6 years and have been to the Keys multiple times - this Key Lime Pie is the real deal. Perfectly tangy with the cream and merange to balance it out.. and if you want some extra lime punch, there's extra limes on the plate. The presentation and portion size was also perfect, another must order. Overall, the price point is pretty high (not surprising being a high quality seafood restaurant) - but participating with InKind definitely helps with how frequently InKind has discounts and promotions. We loved the food and the service and definitely plan to come back soon! read more
We had a late afternoon reservation on a Saturday, and though we arrived early, we still had to wait a while after we were seated to order. Our server was knowledgeable about the allergens in each dish and assured me that the tostada and tortilla chips were gluten free because they are made in a different fryer, so there would be no cross-contamination. The only gluten-free entree option was the grilled fish and grilled shrimp tacos. We got the medium seafood tower and really enjoyed the oysters, mussels, shrimp, and Alaskan crab legs. The dipping sauces were very good, but we were hoping for a little something more adventurous like a granita for the oysters. The Mexican White Shrimp Ceviche was gluten free, but very disappointing in flavor. I could barely taste the citrus, and the serrano pepper tasted more like a lab grown jalapeño. Service was very slow. We had to wait and try to catch our server's attention several times because she didn't come around to check on us often. Since our food was coming as it was prepared, I thought my tacos would eventually come, but it turned out that our server forgot to put in my order. They came out quickly after I asked about them, but they were very unremarkable. Our friends are big fans and we were really looking forward to trying this place with them, but it fell a short of our expectations. Maybe it was an off day for service and the kitchen? I'd be willing to give them another try. read more

Amazingly delicious! Everything was on point...food, service, ambiance. We created our own raw seafood platter consisting of oysters, cocktail shrimp, & Peruvian scallops. Followed by the Wild Spanish Octopus a La Plancha appetizer. The Misoyaki black cod and Lobstah Roll for the main course. Ended on a sweet note with Chocolate Pretzel Bread Pudding. All of their items had some unique twist to it that elevated taste and/or texture. Their cocktail shrimp had a savory nutty butteriness that kept the taste buds screaming for more. The octopus appetizer was perfectly cooked with a bouncy texture and when paired with the white bean muhammara and the mint to add a perk of freshness, excellent combo of mouth feels and taste. The bread pudding dessert was decadent and if the flavor burst alone wasn't enough, the light crisp bottom along with the soft middle enticed us to keep going for "one more bite" until every bite was gone. The staff here are super friendly. Chill beach vibes and still a special place to celebrate ambiance makes this a great place to come for a casual meal or to acknowledge a special accomplishment. Make those resos! No regrets. read more

Incredible food & Great service! All around amazing! Food: - Appetizers: Ordered the hamachi sashimi, tuna tartare, and kumamoto oysters. All were delicious. The hamachi sashimi was my favourite. Fresh with a very flavourful zesty sauce. Tuna tartare was also fresh and delicious. My only negative with this appetiser was that it was small in relation to the price. Nonetheless, still recommend, as it was delicious! - Mains: Ordered 2 mains: a seafood broth (sorry! forgot the name of it) and the buttery crab roll. The seafood dish was supposed to be tomato based, but we didn't taste much of any tomatoes. It was really tasty, but didn't understand how it was supposed to be tomato based (as the server told us). The shrimp wasn't gummy and was cooked to perfection. In my opinion, the buttery crab roll could've had more flavour. There was a lot of butter on it, as it was dripping down, but it could've used a bit more flavour for the crab itself. Fries that came with it were next level! - Dessert: The BEST Key lime pie I've ever had! Our amazing server recommended the key lime pie to us. I was hesitant to order it because I'm personally not a fan of key lime pie in general. But we ordered it because our server was really enthusiastic about it. OMG! It was amazing. It was the perfect ratio of sweet to lime zest and the crust was made to perfection. If there's one thing I would highly recommend you order would be this key lime pie. Do not leave without ordering this! Service: Amazing all around. Our server was great. She was super kind and enthusiastic which we loved. Food came out within a very appropriate time and with good timing. We never felt rushed to leave which was great. Ambiance: Unfortunately, we weren't able to dine inside (which we wanted to), so we sat outside so didn't get much of the nice ambiance we were hoping for. I wouldn't recommend sitting outside especially when it's colder out because they don't have any head lamps and a lot of people walk by right besides your table. Overall, this was such a great spot in Manhattan. A place I'll be back for sure! read more
