The bread wrap and lobster salad were very special and great in taste. The food and drinks are superb, plus the service is excellent. We will be back for sure.

One of my favorite places to go for mussels pots. The mussels are fresh and the broth are so tasty. I love the parmesan fries and the doughnuts are always a good idea. My favorite are the Meyer Lemon filled.

Went for Brunch, started w/ fradiavolo mussels - amazing and great bread to soak up the sauce. Had messy egg sandwich and Lobster blat amazing! Best yet to come - so save room... the donuts order 4 or more so many favorites- get the wild blue berry and chocolate for sure! Staff beyond pleasant. Would definitely go back.

If there's any NYC restaurant that I've been to endless times and I have happily given my repeat business, it would have to be Flex Mussels and that's both the UES & West Village branches. Hands down the very best Happy Hour, with such an incredible value for money without compromising both quality and quantity! I usually go here with either my best friend or hubby and enjoy a glass or two of Vinho Verde. A dozen fresh oysters (usually from Prince Edward Island) is always a must, used to be $1 each but now at $1.50 during Happy Hour but still a great deal so we don't mind. Then it's on to the Mussels with Fries deal (used to come with beer but it was removed recently, again we don't mind) and we still have that wonderful option of upgrading it to Truffle Fries which I highly recommend. The San Marzano flavor is my go to mussels here as the tomato sauce and spiciness is a perfect blend. So delicious! And if we're particularly feeling indulgent and not counting calories that day (LOL), we get the donuts too. We love the cinnamon and sugar, chocolate and salted caramel. The vanilla bean sauce just makes it even yummier. Service and staff is also always on point! Overall, one of my most favorite restaurants here! I highly recommend!

always great experience ! Try their fried oysters for an appetizer, and mussels with creamy pesto sauce! They recently added a “23” special with lobster. Honestly , not the best on the menu. Anyway , try to sit outdoors , and you’ll never regret going there

I always enjoy this place so much. We ordered our favorite Thai mussels and it did not disappoint. We always ask for extra bread to soak up the sauce. Even after eating all that bread we still ordered the donuts...sooo delicious. Staff is courteous and helpful. Highly recommend.

Best mussels ever! Classic one is good but ones with cream or curry base has more flavor!

Loved the atmosphere and vibe of this place. It feels like you’ve just stepped out of New York City and into a boat house in the middle of nowhere. We ordered the bucket of mussels, side of lobster poutine (good enough to share between 3-4 people) and the lobster Mac and Cheese. You have to order the homemade doughnuts. They’re just the best treats ever. We had this odd insect (like a cross between a spider, cricket and cockroach) fly onto our table which is really nothing the restaurant can do about. However, the manager in charge ended up giving us 50% off our bill.

Easily some of the best mussels and oysters I’ve ever had! And I live to eat seafood. The whole vibe was great, there’s limited but great tasting vegetarian options too (for your vegetarian friends to come along!) , missed the homemade donuts, will have to go back. Great atmosphere too! Highly recommend.
