50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Newington

“We had our wedding here in January, and it was an amazing experience! The staff is very helpful and makes things run so smoothly. Food was amazing, and the bartending service was top-notch! Evette and Aida helped make the booking and experience very enjoyable!“

“Absolutely loved the seafood—everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service was exceptional, and every staff member was so warm and welcoming. Thank you to the entire team for hospitality; it truly made our visit memorable. Highly recommended!“

“I’m not sure why the recent reviews I’m reading through now are on the negative side! My husband and I accidentally stumbled upon this restaurant (we happened to be in the area), and immediately were met with excellent hospitality. I am gluten free and vegetarian, so finding a place with kind servers and food I can eat is becoming increasingly difficult. They serve complimentary bread up front (which most restaurants don’t even bother with anymore) and have an option for gluten free bread(if you ask for it) at a slight up-charge. I ordered the Korean rice bowl and my husband ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese..the food came out super fast and was delicious. I have a very low spice tolerance, so I thought my bowl was on the slightly spicier side..but it’s Korean style food so that’s to be expected. We ordered a peanut butter bar for dessert, also gluten free. I didn’t get a picture unfortunately, but it’s was super rich but not too sweet. Definitely worth the trip!! People need to start writing more positive reviews for places because this restaurant definitely deserves more positivity.“

Perfect and the clams were the biggest anywhere including the coastline restaurants. Do not put off a visit…it won’t be your last.“

“First time here for a dine in and it was fantastic! I got the general taos chicken w/ beef fried rice and everything had flavor also not to mention for me this place feels nostalgic like it's the 1990s/early 2000s the flavor of the food took me back like a time machine also the cans of soda was ice cold that's how I knew this place was going to be good.“

“You want to talk about a hidden seafood GEM with a VIEW? Just come here. It gives off shoreline picnic table vibes overlooking the ct river just feet away. 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?!“

“We decided to give Vivaldi’s a shot tonight after a long day at work. We hadn’t had it before, so we weren’t sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised. This pizza is as good as any pizza in Avon/Canton and better than several. This is really a carry out place… there is a booth in there, but seriously, take it with you.

We had a mushroom pizza and it was great. Baked just the way we like it. We will be back for sure.“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I have been going here since 2015. Amazing food, amazing employees, amazing owners. There is not one bad thing anyone could say about this place. Love them❤️“

“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.“
