Greenpoint Fish & Lobster Co.

This place is one of my lists of restaurants I want to go. During the day especially, early afternoon was a good time to go without line and craziness. Happy hour is from 12-6PM but for the drinks is only 4PM. I got 2 glasses of Muscadet, 1/2 dozen of east oysters and 1/2 dozen of clams. Also got cup of small chowder. Food is fresh and service is good. I just wanted to try to get to know if I will bring more friends for fresh seafood. Overall, the place is good and recommended come during the day, not on weekends.

Awesome! We had lunch there on a Wednesday so it was not super busy. Octopus salad was incredible, tuna tostada unique/delicious, and the cod fish cakes were good but not great. The dishes were larger than we expected - we were stuffed when we left. Cheers to the waiter who told us it was happy hour even though it was like 12:30pm and just for being fun. Would 100% recommend for a casual, fresh fish oriented meal. The market looked a bit expensive, and the swag is great.

Really delicious food! Everything we tasted was delightful. The Brussel sprouts and fish cakes were just incredible. Cute “foodie” atmosphere. Feels like a “if you know you know” type of spot, which is a vibe. We sat at the counter, but there are also high top options, as well as outdoor seating. Service was ok- not super warm, but friendly enough. We waited for quite some time to be greeted and seated by our waitress. But luckily, the employees handling the fish at the front of the shop were friendly and helpful enough to get our waitress’ attention for us after they saw us getting impatient.

TLDR: this place is great for certain things. Maybe a quick takeout lunch like a lobster roll. I’d stick to the simpler items on the menu. Tried this place for dinner. It started off pretty strong, but by the end we were on the fence about the place. To start, there was lots of seating. The we ordered a bunch of items, and they were hit or miss. I would recommend the caesar and the crudo. My husband enjoyed the lobster roll. We didnt love the octopus salad or the tacos (spicy, but had no actual taste besides being spicy). The table next to us loved both those items though— just a matter of preference I suppose. The reason I am giving it a lower rating is that the food was SO SALTY. We were both up all night as a result of how salty the food was. I’ll also note that there was only one server. And while they were very sweet and nice, they were probably stretched too thin. Very forgetful, inattentive, etc. I’d go back, but only order the simpler items on the menu next time.

Lovely place. Had oysters, clams, and the crudo sampler. Followed by lobster bisque, and fish & chips. Everything quite tasty, but the bisque worthy of special mention. Quite fantastic to be honest. Four stars and not five simply because some of the pricing is just a little much... $21 for the morsels of crudo, ouch! But, perfect for a decadent NYE lunch!
