Mare

Wide selection of raw oysters, and the freshest lobster in town

  • Dining Alfresco in Chelsea
  • Fresh Lobster
  • Oysters Galore

New York is a waterfront town and you'll feel it when you discover this delightful little place. The white tiled walls are adorned with vintage nautical prints, lobster traps and an enormous sailfish to compliment the fabulous variety of fresh catch.

For oyster lovers, there's no better place: Mare is a veritable treasure trove with over twenty varieties to choose from. Order up a dozen and wash 'em down with a cold beer or three as you kick back in the sidewalk cafe. - All major credit cards.

Our diners say: - "A single-minded devotion to its chosen cuisine makes Mare a great choice for seafood lovers." - "Whenever I feel like having some fresh oysters or lobster I come to the Mare."

Editorial Review for Mare – by Marcella Veneziale

In Short
This Chelsea seafood establishment lists enough fish on its book-sized menu to repopulate the Hudson River. Decorated like a cleaned-up seaside beach shack, the tables sport checked tablecloths, while sailing memorabilia lines the dining room. Diners go for appetizers like Maryland lump crab cake and steamed Prince Edward Island mussels. The entrees reflect the kitchen's diverse influences, from a Japanese-inflected yellow fin tuna to pub grub like fish and chips.

User Reviews for Mare

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I went with a co-worker for lunch and had a great meal. We both had salmon with a side of vegetables. It was fresh and cooked perfectly. They served fresh rolls to start the meal. It was very reasonably priced and the service was attentive. Highly recommended

Pros: Food, Service, Price

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

We spent a Saturday evening there. It wasn't crowded and the atmosphere was nice. The service was ok, inspite of telling the specials of the day, he just refered to the board on the wall - we can all read ourselves! We had the Tuna. Not only given the fact, that we are in a seafood restaurant, the taste was disappointing. It wasn't like eating fresh fish as we had expected.

Pros: quite place even on a Saturday

Cons: taste of the food
