Indulgent Eats: Get a noah's ark for a sample of everything. Lobster roll is TO DIE FOR but the shrimp is a good substitute if you're on a budget. Always go for full-size or you'll just leave wishing you ordered more
Jamie Etkind: Order the Taste of Maine: perfectly portioned for one person, you get to sample the shrimp roll, crab roll, and lobster roll...and be transported to Maine
Julie Soscia: Lobster rolls are some of the best in NYC. Portions are somewhat small, so opt for an app!

Steve Mannel: I'd vote for the fish taco's as well. The lobster roll is very good, but too mayonnaisey for my wife. And the lobster knuckles are fun and tasty if you are skilled at removal.
First We Feast: Order this: East Coast oysters, lobster roll, whole fish of the day, hot-fudge sundae Read more.
Stacy Salame: The best lobster rolls ever! And the cole slaw was good, has capers and not too saucy. Worth waiting in line for this place!

Kev Skinny: Very happy with this place. 20.00 per meal is a home run. Burger was very good...but..I must say. Lobster roll is the way to go. Potentially more lobster in it than u will get ordering the lobster.
Michael Dempsey: Everything is $20. Lobster roll is great, 1.5 pound lobster is best value.
Audrey Krassnitzer: Great concept: 3 items only, burger lobster lobster roll. $20 does the trick. Great service.

julia t: Great seafood selection and good for a snack - fresh oysters, solid lobster roll. Good caviar selection. Sushi is nondescript - not the draw.
Mischa: Pro: the lobster in the lobster roll is fresh & you can tell. Con: the place is always packed, eating comfortable won't be an option. You can get it in a lunch box that's also good!
David Zhang: Expensive but delicious. Lobster rolls are great and so are the oysters. Avoid the madhouse of Chelsea Market during lunch though.

Sam Pezzullo: Some of the best Asian food I've had in NYC. Try the big eye tuna tartare, red snapper ceviche tacos, sesame shrimp roll, and softshell crab roll. Accompany with the jalapeño margarita. Life changing.
Giulia M: Big eye tuna tart, sesame crusted shrimp roll, jalapeño scallop roll, crispy tuna rice
