Reviews for Flex Mussels in New York, NY
Fantastic happy hour specials (until 7PM and only inside). Ceviche and truffle fries are also very good. Space inside is a bit... tight, but the strong value and great food more than compensate. Read more
This place is something else. I have to say that our waiter gave us the best service possible for any restaurant, can't remember... his name but I know he has no hair. The food was unbelievable, if I had the money I would go there for breakfast also Read more
Great place to come for great seafood, including ceviches, mussels, fish, shellfish and more. Would definitely recommend getting... the ceviche, hummus, mussels, their donuts for dessert, and more. Came around 5:30 on a weekday, got busy around 6:30-7 or so.Would definitely come back. Read more
Great spot for oyster happy hours, which go till 7 everyday. Oysters were nice and fresh, my only complaint was that their... mignonette variation wasn’t my favorite - but I’m traditional in that regard. And they should just serve the red sauce byrequest - IMHO using that is akin to ordering a good steak well done. But it’s also a place you can easily move on to a fulldinner of… you guessed it, mussels! Several broths to choose from - I got the Dijon - and oh so good! The mussels were superplump and delicious in the sauce. I finished with the donuts, which they’re also famous for, and do suggest you save space forthem. They’re really good! Read more
I really enjoyed these fluffy warm donuts. They were so good. I had a fatboy moment and had fries since I had eaten ealier. I e... heard this place is known for its seafood dishes. I don't eat seafood any longer so I can't say how the other fair is here. Myonly complaint was my coffee was warm and bit hot, it was 10pm tho, maybe the coffee machine was in its cool down phase. Irecommend this place. Read more
Had a great time at Flex Mussels! My friends and I visited on a Friday night, so it was quite crowded. Definitely recommend... making reservations ahead of time. As for the food, their portions are huge and everything is fresh & delicious! Started themeal off with an order of Burnt Fingers, which included a bunch of fried calamari, 2 pieces of fried oysters and 2 pieces offried shrimp. On the menu, they did not specify that there would only be 2 pieces of oysters and 2 pieces of shrimp, so that waskind of misleading, but the dish was still good. The batter was crispy and the aioli sauce that came with it was the perfectpairing. We also got the Gumbo and the Parma. Both very different sauces but both were so delicious and flavorful. Each musselwas opened and none went to waste! We also ordered chicken, which is under the Big Plates section. The meat was tender and itsoaked up all of the ingredients used The chicken came with a side of fries; it was good, but nothing special. Overall, FlexMussels is reasonably priced for the portions they give. Definitely a spot worth trying. Read more
Hidden gem. One of the best happy hour spots you can go to. I had no reservations and was able to walk in during happy hour time... and got seated quickly. There is NO happy hour outdoors. The menu is fairly priced and extensive for the happy hour, we ended uphaving our dinner here. The crowd at the bar and outdoor seating pick up very quick as the happy hour progresses, definitelymake your way here sooner rather than later. There was nothing wrong with everything we ordered, the fungi mussels is the way togo. Do not skip on the oysters! It’s not on their online menu, but their in store menu shows oysters (primarily from PEI) for$1.5 each! Read more
I live in the neighborhood and had Flex on my wish list for a while. I wish I had gone sooner — WELL worth it! Delicious... seafood - oysters, mussels, lobster roll, cod fritters… and don’t get me started about the donuts for dessert!! Delectable!Highly recommend this spot for a date night. Read more
