My friend made a great call to try out Vbar seaport. Vbar is a great spot for good drinks and seafood. Vbar has a relaxing ambiance in a very open space – looking through the big open widows, you will see the stone street, the short old building across the street. It feels just like a small town by the sea away from the noise of the city.
We got steamed mussels and clams in tomato sauce, lobster ravioli, and Alaskan cod. All of them are very delicious with great quality. The mussels are very fat and juicy, well-seasoned in tomato and cheese sauce. Lobster ravioli is full of fresh lobster meat. The Alaskan cod is another great dish – very tasty tomato based sauce; fish is tender and juicy and well-seasoned by the sauce, the veggies are no less flavorful than the cod too.
Just one thing, the sea urchin pasta is not available in this location.
I came here for a lunch with a few coworkers. As you can tell this is an Italian style seafood restaurant. I tried the seafood linguine with shrimp, mussels, calamari, and clams. Portions weren't huge unfortunately but a decent size. The dish was delicious; enjoyed it very much. Prices are reasonable for the area as well.
My coworker mentioned enjoying the crabmeat sliders.
Other things you should know parking sucks as many parts of NYC. Check in offer pretty good; not many give you a draft beer on the house.
Cute little place on South Street. We came here for brunch and received a tasty meal with a seafood twist. If you check in, you can grab a free draft! I had the crab cakes benedict and my boyfriend had the steak and eggs. We both liked each other's dishes better, but everything was delicious and pleasing to the eye. I had a $6 bloody mary and enjoyed it as well. Definitely a solid brunch menu that I'd return to continue sampling.
I was walking around the Seaport District looking for some food after stopping in at Fresh Salt down the street for a beer and I happened upon the menu for this spot posted outside — looked interesting so I stepped in for a drink. The bartender and wait staff immediately made me feel like a local coming home. The feel of the place is up beat and friendly and their happy hour specials are a good deal. I had the crabmeat mac and cheese which was good, but a little spicy — if you go there tell them to hold the pepper down a bit! Pricey for what it was, but tasty nonetheless. Seth was especially helpful in pointing out some great night life spots to explore in the city too! Stop in for a drink and some food — you'll thank me. I'd go five stars if the food were just a little better or a little cheaper.
Great venue for happy hour in the warmer months at the Seaport.
Sit by the open windows on the side and you've got yourself a great little spot.
One star off for the fried pickles – the breading was too thin, salty and slid off nearly all the pickles entirely. Come onnnn! The entrees being devoured at the table next to us looked amazing, though.
Not much I can say because I was only there for happy hour since Fresh Salt was closed for a private event. Happy Hour still had good deals until 7pm, I had a well mixed drink and my friend had a beer and it was just $11 altogether, so it was great deal to me! We sat at the bar and the bartender was attentive and about 15 minutes after we walked in, it got crowded. But it was a quaint place with dim lighting.
My sister and I came here for lunch during our trip to New York, and we loved it. There was lots of natural lighting and the tables were relatively spread out. It would also be a lovely venue for a dinner date.
I ordered the seafood linguine and the pasta was perfectly cooked. It was chewy but really soft. They were generous with the seafood, and the dish had plenty of mussels and clams in it. The bisque sauce was flavorful and complemented the seafood well. My sister ordered the caprese panini and she especially liked the pesto in it. It didn't look that big but it was really filling for her.
The service here is wonderful. All the workers seem genuinely happy to help and interact with people, and they were timely about everything as well.
Came here for a Sunday night date and was surprised this place was pretty busy. No wait but quite a number of tables were occupied. A good sign for restaurants by the seaport on Sunday night.
We started off with a big bucket of complimentary sourdough bread, served on the side with delicious olive oil and balsamic. I love sourdough bread, so obviously I ingested the whole thing.
Then we shared the grilled octopus, caprese and seafood linguine. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. The grilled octopus had a strong grill flavor to it, countered by the Mediterranean flavors including tons of capers. The octopus itself was slightly overcooked but still delicious and plentiful to share between two people. The seafood linguine was also very delicious. The pasta was al dente and there was plenty of seafood to go around, including clams, mussels, calamari and big shrimp. I think what made it extra delicious was the sauce (cognac bisque per the menu). A very simple sauce of what seemed to be mostly crushed tomatoes and olive oil. It didn't feel heavy at all. A very light sauce with a punch of flavor. Very clean and good.
The star, and what surprised me the most, was the caprese. Although typically a simple dish of tomato, basil and mozzarella, the simplicity of this dish outshined all the other dishes. That buffalo mozzarella was stupendous. It was so creamy and the light drizzle of olive oil was perfect with the tomato and basil. But man oh man that buffalo mozzarella was so memorable. It just melted in my mouth on each bite. Delicious.
Overall, a great dinner experience. The service was super nice and restaurant was clean, encased by nice brick.
