“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 ❤️“

“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 originally had a reservation across the street, but it turned out that they were actually closed so we ended up at Bank Sports Bar and are we ever glad we did! We were looking for a place to stop to get beers and a bite to eat before attending a concert nearby. When we walked in there were more than 65 in the bar and the vibe was exactly what we needed. Quickly we noticed there was one bartender behind the bar - ut oh. Right? Nope. Britt was truly amazing and this place is lucky to have her. We never went without a drink; she was attentive and kind. Turns out there was one person in the kitchen, too - AJ. Our food came out delicious and hot. All of the respect to these two. We hope to be back soon!“

“Very intimate setting. The wait staff were very friendly. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and the manager came over to congratulate us as well as give us a complimentary toast.“

“Went there for some wings and was very impressed at the way they were seasoned and cooked! Smoking hot well done and still juicy! Had the Fried tacos as well and had to order more of both! Everything I ordered was amazing. Under other circumstances I’d be there everyday.“

“Catering Party @ Sally’s Apizza Fairfield On Saturday September 13, 2025, we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The food, service and staff were phenomenal. We all know how great the pizza is, but the appetizers and salads were equally great. I can’t say enough about the wonderful servers, Dan and Brandon. There were efficient, kind, friendly and polite. They went out of their way to insure everyone was having a great time. The bartenders and other staff went a long way to help make everyone enjoy the party. I also want to thank the General Manager, James Layfield and the Catering Manager, Helen Blanchard for their exceptional service and hospitality. Sally’s Apizza @ Fairfield deserves a 5 star rating for making our event the success it was. Thanks so much“

“This local spot is cozy and welcoming. We were seated at the bar for most of the night and saw the place quickly fill up. Even though the bar became very busy as the night went on, Mike our bartender made time to check in with us and the couple seated nearby to make sure we had everything we needed. Highlights include an extremely well made old fashioned, a delicious gin drink that was recommended to us by Mike, and the free popcorn for snacking. We’ll definitely be returning!“

“We ordered 4 different appetizers and 4 different entrees, everything was AMAZING! Food came out perfect, cocktails were deliciously balanced, great atmosphere, and Samantha did an outstanding job taking care of us. Definitely going back, highly recommended. 10/10“

“Nice couple of hours there today on a rainy Sunday. Delicious food, awesome staff!!!!“

“Very quiet restaurant in hotel lobby. Service was very friendly and attentive. Slightly overpriced for quality of food. Menu was very limited, with really the option for dinner being a burger, taco, or turkey sandwich. Food was very good and not greasy. However, it was expensive for the quality.“

“The Vibes & food are an experience!!“

“Amazing food and service in a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“On the way back to NYC from Foxwoods and decided to stop by Bridgeport for some Vietnamese food. The original Vietnamese restaurant we googled by Bridgeport led us to a location that was closed so we decided to stop by this place since we saw it also served pho among other things. We were very pleased with selecting this place after our initial viet restaurant wasn’t open. The food here is really good!! Kinda hope they can open one in NYC if they haven’t already! If not maybe I’ll make the trip up here again in the near future just for the food.“

“Drinks were good. Food was delicious. Great atmosphere.“

“As first time visitors it was a little difficult to find but staff in the store were really kind and helpful. This is located in Azteca Market. It's in the back of the store.

The young lady who gave us our order did so with a pleasant smile.

The birria tacos were great. Definitely best enjoyed fresh however they still had a nice crunch after the ten minute car ride home.

The steak burrito was also very flavorful and filling.

We got two sides of rice and beans (one came with the burrito and the other as a side). Neither of these were anything to write home about. The rice was very bland and the beans were good but nothing special.

Will definitely be going back“

“We always love coming here! Jose Luis and his team, especially the wonderful female bartender, always make us feel so welcome. The service is top-notch — friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The food is consistently great every time, and the drinks are just as good. It’s one of our favorite spots because we know we’ll always leave happy and full. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food. Highly recommend“

“I ended up having a great time at Joey C celebrating my birthday last night 6/5/25. They were able to accommodate me and the food was so good. Thanks Mike. Our waitress Michelle was awesome, very pleasant and there when we needed her. Thank you Michelle. Until next time!“

“Simply put, the food, staff and restaurant are nothing short of amazing. My husband and I hosted an event this past weekend (~100 guests) and it was a literal dream! THE FOOD! I was a little nervous when we settled on a buffet-style for the main entree but that worry was immediately thrown out the window when the first person up said, wait when can I get seconds?! EVERYONE has commented on how much they loved the food. Many of our guest list is from out of town, but are petitioning that a open a location opens in Northern New Jersey The staff was just amazing during the event; almost every single person I have spoken to since Saturday has brought up an interaction where 'the staff clearly cares' ::insert story of staff member just actually giving a heck about a situation:: from a question answered, to a compliment given, and everything in between, the people who worked the event were rockstars. Brittney, their catering & event manager, is worth a million dollars; she cares, she's passionate, she is kind, attentive (she definitely works 24/7 as she emailed/ texted back no matter the day or time), & is just all around an amazing person. I will never not include her and working with her in my memory of our Reception. She and Deon will not steer you wrong in making selections that will work and will be memorable. All-in-all, if you are looking to host your event in a place where people take pride in their work, are dedicated to the customer and the food is real, feel it in your soul food, then Olives and Oil is your place!!“

“Frozen margarita and street corn were awesome! Service was also fantastic!“
