Coral - White Plains (NY)

5 /5 Lisa L. Sealy: Anniversary Night. It was perfect! Quiet and clean. Service was great. Calm, fast, professional. Great Price was awesome for the atmosphere. OCTOPUS was die for! So tender! Perfect ount of seasoning (we dont like too salty). Highly recommend!! Also, seafood pasta. Lobster was not the best but not bad. I would love to try Red Snapper next time. The only thing might be bathroom. I saw other reviews. Looked like Noone really cleaned.. and cheap toilet paper randomly placed and all over on the floor, pretty uncleaned... so... oh well. (But this wont Stop me coming. lol) Definitely coming back! It was great to find a new spot!

2 /5 Dan: I hate to do this to a new place but theyve been gone for 3 months or something and I was there on a Friday night and it was relatively empty... Waiter said it was one of their busiest nights ever. Service was really disappointing.. took a while/they forgot about our drinks.. To the food.. the peppers , feta cheese and pita is interesting. Not great but not bad... Id suggest giving a side of olive oil or something for the pita.. We had a crab cake $21 for one... Couldnt taste any crab.. nearly all filler and bread crumbs etc .. also had brussel sprouts with a bacon cream sauce that was awful..barely cooked. Ya gotta just sear those and give them a little crisp.. they were soggy and hard unflavored .. cant mess up a Caesar salad..that was fine.. Had a seafood pasta but was only given 2 shrimp.. few mussels and some calamari with very little pasta underneath. Very underwhelming sadly . Only good thing was the chocolate cake dessert... On a positive note, its a very nice looking place, great ambiance . Wanted to at least give em 2 stars for that

5 /5 Hawkins-Syska Crystal (CrystalClearNY): This restaurant is almost a secret. It has a very unassuming facade. Inside it feels like a posh Manhattan eatery in the middle of White Plains. The food is delicious with an elegant presentation. I love that it looks at the fountain on Main Street. So peaceful. Service is also top notch.

5 /5 happiness is a journee: Coral Seafood Restaurant: A Mixed Bag with Potential Coral Seafood Restaurant provided a somewhat uneven experience for our party of 11 celebrating my sons 21st birthday. As a first-time visitor, I was struck by the attractive decor, which leans towards an Italian seafood concept rather than purely being a seafood restaurant. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the seafood pasta dish. It was outstanding, boasting a fresh and well-prepared flavor profile that easily earns a full 5 stars. The quality of the ingredients shone through, and the execution was spot-on. However, the experience was marred by some inconsistencies. The staff seemed a bit undertrained, lacking the polish one might expect in a restaurant aiming for a high-class experience. This impression was further solidified by the restroom amenities. While functional, the use of Bounty paper towels instead of traditional hand towels felt out of place. The sticky, residue-leaving hand soap also detracts from the overall attention to detail. These seemingly small details can significantly impact the perceived quality of the dining experience. Our server also made a mistake by discarding our leftovers, despite a request for them to be packed to go. Thankfully, the situation was rectified, and the server generously replaced the meal for us to take home. This gesture was greatly appreciated and speaks to a commitment to customer satisfaction. Overall: Food (Seafood Pasta): 5 stars - Delicious and fresh! Ambiance: Good - Nice decor, but leans more Italian seafood. Service: 3 stars - Needs improvement in training and attention to detail. Restroom Amenities: 2 stars - Inconsistent with the restaurants perceived class. Despite the shortcomings in service and amenities, the exceptional food quality, particularly the seafood pasta, makes Coral Seafood Restaurant worth a second visit. I plan to return and update my review, hoping to see improvements in the service and attention to detail that would elevate the experience to match the quality of the cuisine. This restaurant clearly has potential, and with a few tweaks, it could become a true gem.
