“great fresh seafood.. ordered a whole belly clam basket..good portion size and cole slaw very fresh...can't wait till next visit!“

“The chicken with a side bogo is an undeniable banger! Mac n cheese is so good and don't forget the banana pudding 😋“

“I haven't been to this place in forever since they removed it from Massachusetts but you can never go wrong with a nice seafood place that serves lobster 🦞“

“I’ve been a regular here since Day 1 and I can’t believe I didn’t post a review until NOW!! What can I say, it’s the best seafood in West Haven HANDS DOWN! The oysters are fresh, the lobster rolls are the best, and the mussels for 2 is so flavorful. The staff are like family and welcome you with open arms. For drinks, I recommend the manhattans, old fashioned, espresso martinis and dirty martini with the blue cheese stuffed olives (YUM!). Their Moby’s lager is delicious and there’s a great selection of tequila. The bartenders are the best around! My favorite dishes are the lobster Mac, Lobster Rolls, Tuna Sushimi Oysters, Oysters Rockefeller, and tuna tartare. Trust me, you will not be disappointed with your dining experience! Nick and the crew will take good care of you. I’m a customer for life ❤️“

“Nicole was amazing !!! She was Great … very attentive and got every order correct. Thank you Nicole from Hook and Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar“

“Food was decent... beer options are lacking. Nothing local, nothing on tap. Lobster roll is over priced and served on a baguette but decent overall. Mussels and clams were quite good. The country music was distracting. Would not return.“

“Food is great waitress was very nice and helpful you must get there before 6pm. Parking area is small“

“Delicious lobster roll, fries and onion rings! Not inexpensive but super tasty. We took ours to the beach down the street and ate them there“

“Was my 1st time there yesterday and it has officially become my best place for whiting and fried shrimp. Can't wait to go back and try their lobster, flounder and porgies. Cooked in fresh oil!!! Wow!!! Worth the drive from Hartford to New Haven to get it too!!!😉Prices? Go and be pleasantly surprised!!!!“

“By far the best and freshest Oysters and Clams on the market in the area“

“Been here a number of times for lunch. Fried clams are very good, soups good. Tartar sauce very mild, very disappointing-ketchup works but why such a continuous let down?“

“Absolutely love this restaurant! The staff is super friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Santana helps pick the BEST dishes!! The environment is cozy, chill, and relaxing — it’s just a place to go when you want some good food and a calm night! Now the FOOD is FIVE STARS!! Never had an issue and I’ve been here many, many times. Always cooked to perfection. The dessert is yummy and their special coffee is the best I’ve ever had… If you have never been, don’t walk, but run… (:“

“While visiting Bridgeport, Connecticut, I stumbled upon a small but impressive spot—Banderas Latin Fusion. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the owner, who also happens to be the chef.

The menu was full of tempting options, making it hard to choose just one. What stood out immediately was the care and precision the chef put into every dish. He prepared and plated each entrée meticulously, holding all three plates behind the counter until they were perfectly finished. Only then did he bring them to the table, showing clear pride in his craft.

The food was absolutely delicious—flavorful without being overwhelmed by too much sazón or adobo, which can sometimes be the case at other Puerto Rican spots. The balance of flavors was just right.

Overall, it was a memorable visit. The food, service, and dedication made it worth the stop, and I’ll definitely be returning the next time I’m in the area.“

“I've ordered from Westville Seafood via Uber Eats from this restaurant. My food was always fresh, hot, and delicious when it was delivered. I love their fried shrimp, and I also ordered a steak and cheese sub with mushrooms and grilled onions, which was also amazing. Order from them, you won't be disappointed ?.“

“Terrific dinner. The Portuguese Steak was perfect, Pork & Shrimp special was spot on.To say the portions were generous, would be an understatement.Order an appetizer, good food takes time.Enjoy their Sangria while you wait.Your patience will be rewarded.The service was perfect. Friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Catherine was wonderful.The atmosphere is casual & very friendly. The dining room off the bar is small and intimate. It can be a bit loud but that a sign the primarily Portuguese clientele are having a good time.A good place to gather with family and friendsGood for date night, maybe not the most romantic, but certainly fun.People are friendly and acknowledging with a nod and a smile.You get a sense of what a small neighborhood in Portugal must be likeEasy and convenient right off 95.GO! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!“

“We ate here last night and the food and service were wonderful! What was even more wonderful was the customer service when I left my purse at the restaurant. I called later that night to see if it was there. They were so kind and kept my bag and made arrangements to get it to me this morning before they opened. Would definitely go back!“

“We had been setting up our son's room at Sacred Heart and needed some food. I did a Google search and came upon this gem!! From the moment we walked in and Anisa seated us, we could tell, we made a good choice.
From bread to appetizers, to our Entree and dessert, everything was amazing! We can't wait until family weekend to make sure we return! We also told our son to make sure he comes off campus and enjoys again!

Parking: Found parking right in the street.“

“5 ⭐️We went here to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from Sacred Heart University. Their location in Trumbull near the college was over an hour wait. Found out there was a second (original ) location in Stratford, On the phone they told us to come right over, they were waiting for us. When we arrived they welcomed us with open arms, were super friendly and super attentive. They treated my daughter like a super star. The food was delicious and the cocktails were so creative and tasty. Would highly recommend and will definitely return.“

“made reservations and it took 30 minutes of not even having our drink order taken and having to say something before getting service. Two of our party had their chairs collapse (and no, they were not obese). Waitress was lovely, however, walked into the restaurant to use the bathroom to find several other waitresses loudly talking about how annoged they were by our table. Went back in to let my son use the restroom and they were speaking badly about another table. needless to say, wont be back. which sucks because our boat is there.“

“Very delicious food and good service“

“It’s my go to spot. Grill master is on point, grilling street side. Jerk pork to die for. Tastiest Jamaican food in Bridgeport area. Great staff. 5 ⭐️“

“I stopped here for dinner after shopping at Bass Pro Shops/Cabelas, it was a good little find. I had some clam chowder and steamed clams, both were very good, they had good beer on tap too. Place had a good blue collar New England fisherman feel to it, great bartender, and its location felt like the kind of place which may be next to the dock the seafood is unloaded at. I’ll be back especially if riding my motorcycle on the CT turnpike as this place also appeared very friendly towards bikers.“

“ordered for dinner! love it that they are on Uber now! the gizzards are the best!! but tonight it's pulled pork and it is ssssoooo good!!“

“🥦 Rabe & sausage..THE BEST ❤️“

“The place is awesome. The crab and shrimp is amazing. I recommend trying the Du Jour family catch for $49.99. I gave 5 star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
