50 Best Seafood Restaurants near North Haven

“Red lobster is definitely trying to up their game. The menu is simpler than before and the food is far more consistent. We found the dessert way too sweet. Their cocktails are good, but can certainly use some tweaks. Their steaks were never their main draw, and it still isn't, so avoid it if you can. It has been years since we went to Red Lobster and now we have gone twice in as many months. Looking forward to going again soon.“

“I can't thank you guys enough for such great food for our family get together. Everyone loved the dinner and I had so many compliments on the how good everything was, especially the mac and cheese. It seems that we have found new catering for our family functions, and I can't thank you enough. It saved me much needed time and things were simply delicious. Dealing with Jan was super easy via email and phone with no problems. Extremely accommodating. All in all, one of the best caterings I've ever had to deal with. I would recommend them highly.“

“Fantastic clam chowder! Generous portion sizes that leave you feeling satisfied. Very friendly staff and service. We ordered Christmas platters that were perfect for our family celebration. 10/10 recommend“

“The food and atmosphere were outstanding. The service was alright. It was fascinating to me that certain tables got better service than others. For example, a party of 3 or 5 seemed to be treated more attentively than the parties of 1 or 2. I don't mean to come off as high maintenance or superior, but when I'm paying the prices they charge I expect high quality service. I will be back because the food was so good, but I hope the service improves.“

“The pizza is the best ever. The sauce is so sweet and they do not scrimp on toppings. We always enjoy getting a large to have leftovers the next day. Keep up the good work and we certainly will be ordering over and over. The trip from Bethany is so worth it .“

“Had the Amici Pizza Truck to celebrate my son’s wedding and the did not disappoint. Absolutely amazing! From the pizza, the variety of toppings and creative combos to the service and how nice the team was - everything was top notch. Our guests raved about it. Thank you Amici for a wonderful event.“

“I'm a rice lover. In my culture(s) rice is a staple so when I go to a Chinese restaurant I make my decision on the rice then go from there. They did not disappoint. Did not smell old oil, nor did the food tast like old oil. Even with delivery the service is nice and respectful. Introduced others and they too like the restaurant.“

“Everything was great! My wife and I brought our two kids (14 & 11) there yesterday evening and everyone enjoyed themselves. The oysters, shrimp, and clam chowder couldn’t have been more fresh. Kids enjoyed their lobsters and our steaks were cooked perfectly. Our youngest thought our server Adam looked like Tom Brady lol. All around perfect- thank you!“

“The food is exceptional…creative and delicious. Great drinks as well. Awesome place.“

“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 ❤️“

“Probably my favorite restaurant in Branford. Best lobster bisque hands down! Service is always so wonderful, kind and accommodating and the food is out of this world.“

“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!!!

“literally the BEST lobster roll i’ve had. The seafood is so fresh, we also got a soft shell crab sandwich and it was delicious. The place is small, but spacious parking and right off the highway. Not only was the service quick but the cashier was super friendly!“

“I've been stopping at the Sandbar for a couple years now, My usual Go to items are whole belly clam rolls or dinner and a Scallop roll or dinner The seafood is always cooked to order, Battered and deep fried and is always delicious While the restaurant might not seem spectacular to some, its a nice place to pop into if you like battered seafood not overcooked but just perfectly cooked its easy to miss leaving elm st if you get on the Kimberly Ave Bridge into New Haven you went past, coming from New Haven cross the bridge and its right at the foot of the bridge on the right side“

“I have been ordering takeouts at Il Forno for the past seven. I started with bacon and onions pizza which was great. I then changed to eggplant pizza and it has to be the best I have ever had. Now I have moved on to shrimp marinara with linguine and I can't tell you how great this dish is. The shrimp are so large and fresh and the sauce is excellent. The filet of sole must weigh at least 2 pounds and my husband gets it every week. The filet is enough for two meals and so is the shrimp. Thank you Il Forno for making our Friday takeout a special treat.“

“Easily, my favorite diner. I can’t get enough of the chicken souvlaki meal: $17 for a Greek salad, French fries, a giant hunk of feta cheese, a toasted pita and 3-4 fantastically cooked and seasoned chicken breasts? YES, PLEASE. I order it when we go here for BREAKFAST. Lol. I recently had it delivered through uber eats but we also love their breakfast and they have outstanding burgers too! Definitely kicks the elm and duchess’ butts. Oh yeah, and since I had to meet a quota on uber eats to get the discount, I got an order of their rice pudding which may be the best rice pudding I’ve ever had. Super sweet and creamy. No lie, I’m probably going there today before I go hang out with my dad. 😀“

“We had a delicious dinner and dining experience. We will definitely go back.“

“Service and food were fantastic! Nice drink menu too!“

“Very delicious food and good service“

“I literally can’t believe how incredible the food was. This is what casual Chinese used to taste like back in the day. It was as if I was a child tasting boneless spare ribs and crab rangoon for the very first time.. The spare ribs were charred and tender and the rangoon was made with actual crab as opposed to the typical “crab flavored” cream cheese. The pork fried rice was also remarkably flavorful with large cubes of pork and perfectly cooked onion. Those who have complained about the food specifically must be miserable Karens. This is my new favorite casual Chinese spot. 10/10“

“🥦 Rabe & sausage..THE BEST ❤️“
