A Cozy Seafood Stop With Crab Guacamole

Raw oysters, lobster rolls, and crab guacamole set the pace at this cozy Astoria seafood stop, with fish and chips and grilled octopus adding more range. Chef Iglent Feizulla brings 25 years of experience to seasonal seafood, alongside craft ales and wine.

Inside, intimate candlelit tables give the room a low-lit, close-in feel; some seats can run dark, which suits a lingering dinner. Service from the hosts and servers is consistently described as highly attentive, while oyster shucking can be uneven, with occasional grit or spilled liquor.

Start with the raw bar, then split the lobster roll and let the menu wander toward shrimp mofongo or grilled octopus. The room stays intimate rather than showy, with the food doing the scene-setting. With happy hour specials adding another reason to settle in early, 28-08 34th St gives the raw bar and creative plates equal billing.
