If we were playing Jeopardy, the correct response to this place would, "where is the best oyster happy hour in Manhattan?" We walked to Crave from our hotel on the south side of Central Park without making reservations. Pleasantly surprised to find no wait, immediate seating, and pretty prompt service around 6 pm on a beautiful Friday at the end of April. Waiter managed to get us happy hour prices on our oysters even though we seated slightly after the cutoff. We started with a couple cocktails with our oysters, then decided full-on dinner was called for - Faroe Islands salmon for T, Yellowtail for me. Excellent bottle of wine - Solo (tinto) Aranleon Syrah 2018 - recommended by waiter when the bottle I had picked proved to be out of stock. Service and food were exemplary, not outrageous prices, but expensive in the way you sort of expect NY to be expensive. Waiter (like most, though not all care to admit) proved to be an entertainer who had worked on traveling Broadway shows, and was familiar with our Denver venues & surrounding area. One of the more enjoyable seafood experiences I've had lately (but would not take my beef-lover friends there).
