Contribute Feedback What Sean K likes about Greenpoint Fish & Lobster Co.:
So glad that my friends from LA suggested this place. Great atmosphere both inside and out. The food was fresh and delicious and we were all happy with our meals.Food: 5/5 View all feedback.
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.Vegetarian options: Not a lot, if any at all.
Greenpoint Fish Lobster used to be great. Unfortunately, now it’s become overrun and the service has really deteriorated as a result. The problem is that this used to be a very small restaurant with just a bar and some high tops, but now they have expanded massively with outdoor seating. The staff are completely overwhelmed. There is only one bathroom for both men and women, and it’s not designed for this number of diners. The food is good but again some mistakes. I ordered the lobster roll cold with mayo but they brought it hot with butter. When I mentioned this to my waitress, she insisted that I had ordered it hot with butter, trying to gaslight me. Meanwhile I had started my whole conversation with her asking which menu items were cold because it was a hot day and I wanted something cold, so of course I ordered the lobster roll cold with mayo. We were also seated close to 9 PM for our 8:30 PM reservation. Sad the way that Greenpoint has gone… This used to be a nice, quiet neighborhood spot.
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.
Good service and good food. Recommend both the oysters and the lobster roll. Would definitely not come outside happy hour but thankfully it’s long (I believe 12-6)Food: 5/5
