50 Best Seafood Restaurants near East Hartford

“Been coming to Mickey's since the 90s. Wish I could get there more often.

Great seafood quick but with sit down taste. Great staff, very attentive. One thing I like is you can watch the cooks prepare delicious meals out of the back.

The spicy fish sandwich is my favorite. Very lightly fried, delicious taste with a little kick added on a perfect roll.

Very nice to see 250th themed cups!

This is one place were everything just blends perfectly together. Great food & ingredients, awesome service, very clean and courteous staff.

Probably my favorite restaurant, especially with that spicy fish sandwich!“

One of your managers came by who was also very friendly. He checked in on us and our visit. The food was excellent. We shared several dishes as well as your bread assortment. Going to the Capital Grille is a special treat for my son and you always deliver. Thank you, AP“

“Wonderfully fresh delicious seafood. Generous portions and gracious owner. She gave us a sampling of all their clam chowders and shrimp cocktail as we waited (not very long) for our whole belly clam dinner and scallop dinner.

You can watch the boats go by and the oldest ferry in the United States! The food is slightly pricey but I promise you will get what you pay for in portions. Best lobster roll I have had in YEARS. Hot food was hot and cold food was cold. Everything was made to order. Service was quick and friendly. Does it get better than that?!“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants. I had originally visited this restaurant when it used to be in New Haven, and I found that it had moved and I was glad that it was nearer to me. The seafood is what draws me to this restaurant, specifically the seafood boil because I really enjoy their sauce. The seafood appetizers are also great. And the staff is wonderful too. Highly recommended if you enjoy this type of food.“

SO flavorful and FRESH! My Chicken Alla Casa was everything I wanted and more! Looking forward to going back soon!“

“Went here for lunch with my sister! I couldn’t believe how packed they were on a Monday! No wonder- the food and drink were ON POINT! Our waiter was very attentive and informative on wine. We shared the spinach and artichoke dip- delicious! I had the harvest vegetable bowl and added steak. The flavors mixed so well creating a palette of fresh, and my steak was cooked perfectly! My sister got the burger and a Cesar salad. The dressing was really fresh and lemony! The burger was delish as well! I will definitely be back! All the food I watched going by looked like 10 stars!“

“I love this restaurant. The food is always good and the female wait staff is great. The males, are on the rude side....one time throwing steak knives across the table when we requested them to cut our steaks. Every time we dine here, I am so annoyed with the lighting. Fluorescent lighting in a fine dining establishment is the worst. Please...please ...please put in recessed lighting that can be dimmed to make for a romantic dining experience.“

“Amazing food and very friendly staff.“

“a good Fish & Chips very tastty“

“The sushi here is fantastic, though it was a bit of a learning curve for our daughter! She wasn't a fan of the sushi texture but loved the hibachi. It’s a great place to introduce kids to new foods with their bento box options. Highly recommend the food, but the seating is a little uncomfortable, so takeout is the way to go.“

“Had a great experience here. The place has a nice, intimate feel, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The drinks were well made, and the small plates were really good too. It’s the kind of spot that feels perfect for a relaxed night out.“

“1. Service was professional tacos were the best i've ever had in twenty years.Would I recommend this restaurant!!!! Absolutely. One hundred percent way better than the new haven trucks way better than any restaurant imitation mexican food!!! If you come here, not only are their prices reasonable, but try everything on the menu. It's phenomenal in the food taste very authentically quality.
5 stars, they deserve, bring your whole
family here. You will be very happy!!!!!!
2. If there was only one recommendation I would give for that extra star is to add more seasoning to your food. In any other case, your food is still the best that i've ever had mexican!!!!“

“This dining spot is located in the Marriott Hotel on Day Hill Road. After work, my guest and I stopped in for apps and drinks. We enjoyed the Point Judith Calamari and the wings.
The inviting atmosphere and excellent service make this dining experience a plus for business travelers. The menu is a little pricey but not out of line for 4-star hotels.

Will definitely come back for lunch or dinner.“

“Hey, it's your girl Honest Review. So I stopped by this restaurant downtown Hartford, because I was on my way to have dinner with my neighbors. So there's an event during the summer called the Long Table, you should check it out next year. I needed something quick to pick up, and th8s restaurant came through. Because this was takeout, I didn't get to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. But I definitely will visit again. Customer service was very good. The price was decent, definitely huge portions. See pics, hope you're enjoying your summer until next time.“

“Love this place. They never mess my order up and always great service. I've been coming here for years. They let you breath and relax there. Nothing crazy. Their pizza and Grinders are exelent and the only pizza my family will even wanna order or go to. Here is a photo of my Tuna grinder with extra lettuce that was requested. Again, When in Vernon Ct. Type pauls pizza into your GPS.“

“I’ve been to this restaurant more times than I can count, and I keep coming back for the exact same meal because it’s THAT good! On top of the great food, the service is always on point. Huge shoutout to my server, Steven, who is always friendly, laid-back, and makes the experience even better.
If you’re looking for a relaxed, laid-back place to enjoy a late lunch with great food and great service, look no further. Ask for Steven — you won’t be disappointed!“

“I’ve been coming here for 10 years since I met my fiancé and he had been coming here for an additional 10 yrs at least. They are so good/fresh and always so great at accommodating any special requests. My mom recently visited for the first time from TN, we got some dinner here and she keeps saying she wishes she could have it again.“

“The Food was wonderful.. Fresh and hot 😋😎“

“The absolute best Chinese food I've ever had. It's always fantastic and the service is great.“

“My son loves this place. Usually he's a big Mac kid but I was lazy and placed a order for the double cheese burger it was delivered fresh and hot. The burger was huge he was like this burger is big. Needless to say he don't ask for Big Macs no more he asks for the big burger. I went in person and placed a order the workers were kind and food did not disappoint. This is our new burger place.“

“Always get the scallop lunch. Awesome. Except for the last time…over cooked and portions were smaller than EVER before. Don’t know if I should try it again Did it change.? I go there because it was great not because it’s cheap. Been a couple of years I ate there. But they have the best seafood you’re gonna find anywhere.“
