Based on the raves here, me and my wife checked this place out the other night. I was shocked by my lobster roll entree. I paid $26 for 4 tablespoons of lobster in a hotdog roll, accompanied by oversalted french fries. My wife had cod which was not unappetizing, but also oversalted. The salad and dessert menu were very limited as well.

Came here for dinner to try it out. The service and attention to detail was outstanding. The wine selection was good and reasonably priced. The menu has variety but isn't too huge- which makes sense as the owner told us the try feature just the best, in-season fish. The calamari appetizer with chimmichurri sauce was outstanding! I would go back again just for a quick calamari snack! The fish (salmon, cod) was artfully prepared and so fresh and flavorful. Will be going back whenever we have a seafood craving! This is one of the few places in the neighborhood that focuses on seafood and offers a trendy, relaxing environment in which to dine. I look forward to trying their weekend brunch as well!

The food was okay. Too much salt, a little overcooked. Portions were small for the price. They need to work on their menu: add a salad and some better beer choices. They need some plain, basic dishes, like fried calamari. Good service, however.

Finally! Amazing seafood on the upper east. I had the mussels miniere and the salmon. Both were fantastic. The salmon melted in my mouth, highly highly recommend it. Definitely check this place out. Awesome ambience, great music and superb service.

I went to this place on a rainy Friday night after walking around 2nd ave and bored with all the selection. The menu looked interesting and the space looked warm, inviting and most importantly clean. The music I might change but, it was a great atmosphere. We ordered oysters to start. And I must say, this is how you can tell a great seafood place as far as freshness and cleanliness. The oysters were freshly shucker (I eat a lot of oysters and shuck them myself sometimes so I know) and they had delicious sauces with them. We also got the shrimp salad which was fantastic! It had a little Asian flare with a kick and the shrimp were fresh and cooked perfectly. My boyfriend got the chowder which looked good but, I didn't sample. I got the salmon which was very good. Usually restaurants can cheat you on salmon but they gave an ample piece and it was very delicious! It came with kale which I prob wouldn't eat on a regular day but, it was very delicious particularly with the salmon. The place was reasonable, the food was really good and I will def be going back soon!

In a neighborhood overrun with pizzerias, Asian restos, and frat bars, The Seahorse Tavern shines like a happy beacon for those looking for a casual yet civilized environment to enjoy some class New England-style dishes—such as fried oysters, grilled salmon, lobster rolls, chowder, and a wide variety of raw oysters, all excellent!—with good friends or significant others. The vibe is vibrant yet laid back, and the bar, with its attractive and fun staff, likewise gets exciting scene pretty much right after work and straight into late night. It's the perfect, no-brainer median between the stuffy and overwrought Atlantic Grill and the decent yet considerably "lo-fi" Luke's Lobster. It is now and officially my go-to place for some great "comfort seafood"—as they call accurately call it—some great, unique beers and wines, lots of excellent music, and a wonderful staff. I hope Yorkville does right by this place and helps keep it around for a very long time!

Great food , cozy room and a rocking bar . This kind of place was desperatly needed on the Upper East Side . Also very fairly priced . We keep going back because there is so much to try . The fried oysters are a great starter and the sole in lemon butter is amazing . The lobster roll is generous with one whole claw placed on top . Very friendly and homey service make it a nonstuffy option any night of the week .
