Coral Bay Cafe — Restaurant in New York

Worse dining experience we ever had. Outside dining was dark. Inside dining was extremely noisy. They need acoustics treatments inside. Owners Might need to have their hearing checked. My ears we ringing for hours. Waiter could not hear our order, and you could not have a conversation with people at your table. Service was terrible. Waited 20 minutes for our drink order to be taken. Another 15 minutes to get our drinks. Ordered fried calamari and raw clams. They brought the calamari but no clams. Calamari was tough, not good. After another 15 minutes they brought us an order of baked clams. We refused the order and told them we ordered raw clams. Another 15 minutes pass, and they bring us an order of raw oysters. It was laughable. Another 15 minutes and we finally got our raw clams. But they were fishy and did not taste fresh. Another 20 minutes and we got our dinner. Wife ordered rack of lamb, medium well. Four pieces were cooked properly two were very rare. The dinner also came with risotto. There was about a tablespoon of risotto and some vegetables which were too hard to eat and had zero seasoning on them I ordered king crab legs. Got four pieces of crab, which were about the size of my finger. Total amount of meat on them was about ¼ cup – for $47. I also received a tablespoon of risotto and raw vegetables. When we complained about the crabs the owner told us that crabs were expensive, so that is why the portions were so small. To give us a larger portion they would have to charge more. Not an acceptable answer. They could have said Market Price and not insulted us with the order they served. At that point we left and went elsewhere for dessert. I can assure you that we will never go back...

Super disappointed all around.. went for dinner ordered a bottle of wine two apps and two entrees. I only got a half order of vodka sauce which is probably the cheapest thing on their entire menu. I’ve had it there before and tonight it was gross. I told my waitress twice i was unhappy with my meal and she offered to do absolutely nothing for us. She handed me my check after i asked if there was anything she could do for us and when i received it my pasta was still on the bill. I now ask if there’s anyway she can ask the owner if they can take it off the bill because i ate about 4 bites of my meal. she tells me she thinks he just walked in which i already seen him when we first sat down for dinner. after about 10 minutes of waiting for a new check she comes back and lies to us to say management wasn’t there but she took off 6 dollars.. So less than half of my half order was all they could do. pretty sad. before i leave and pay my bill i noticed the owner was behind the bar so i felt the need to let him know i knew who he was. I went in saying excuse me he tried ignoring me and asking another bar tender to help me but i continued to say i was told management wasn’t here when i was unhappy with my meal but i know that you’re the owner. So embarrassing on their behalf I guess they needed the money more than us! Our last time dining here. Horrible customer service! Save your money. Maybe with the extra money the owner could put on some...

This place was SO good when I had Xmas dinner there in December. Yesterday.... it was DISGUSTING.

I usually don't complain like this, but I went there for my birthday and it was absolutely dreadful.

My brother ordered linguine with clams in RED sauce. They gave him white sauce. OK no problem they take it back and fix it. Literally 4 mins later they bring out a plate and the sauce is ORANGE. Not RED... O-R-A-N-G-E. It looked gross and my brother was gagging just looking at it. He couldn't even eat it. It's as if they just poured red sauce over what was already there. There's no way they fired up a new plate of pasta in Literally 4 mins. And for the prices they charge, that is pretty embarrassing.

My mom's red sauce was also extremely hot and oily. Even my veal saltimbocca was not that good. Why they put a soft boiled egg on top is beyond me but it was just oily and not good. I was so disappointed. The only thing I enjoyed was my chocolate raspberry martini.

There was also NOBODY in there and the service still sucked. It's safe to say I will never waste my money...
