Sono Seaport Seafood is a very good restaurant located on the sound. The food is excellent even though it's on the expensive side. A 1/2 pound lobster roll costs $60, that's a ripoff. But there's a lot of other options for less money. We did enjoy out time there an do recommend this restaurant.

Best lobster roll I've ever had, and that includes in Maine. Super fresh, large chunks, and the bread was not greasy at all. The side of coleslaw is just an afterthought - small and not very good. But you're not there for the coleslaw. You can get a 1/4 lb or a 1/2 lb. served two different ways. We got it the right way, with melted warm butter. Fast service and great location on the water surrounded by seagulls. Really enjoyable.

The oyster po boy sandwich was good but not much else. The portion sizes are on the smaller side. The Diet Coke was completely flat. We sat indoors because people were smoking outside. The indoor dining lacks ambience and the service isn’t great. We were missing coleslaw that was supposed to come with our order. When we got it, it was a tiny cup and didn’t even taste good. Had to ask for ketchup for the fries - the waitress gave us the little fast food packets. So tacky for dine-in service. Probably won’t be back as there’s way better options nearby.

Visiting from Arizona. Service was awesome!! Drinks were solid. I’ve been craving a Lobster Roll for over 6 years. I got the one pictured. It was delicious, but still not what I was looking for. I’ll give it a solid 7.5/10. No mayo, no butter. But the lobster was fresh, and delicious. No other fillers to make it bigger.
It’s a start. Heading to Boston next!

I haven’t been here for 17 years… decided to come back.
The location is amazing and our waiter Ed was amazing!
The food on the other hand was horrendous. The steamers were dry and cold and the fish and chips were literally frozen prior and deep fried to warm them up.
The corn on the cob had a peculiar odd taste.
The prices were outrageous and wouldn’t have mind paying it if the food was edible. Not to mention, I ordered wine and they delivered it in a Champagne flute!
I’m a true New Englander and understand the concept of real authentic fresh seafood.
This place is past its prime and someone else needs to buy this place and restore it to its former glory!
Not coming back again, sorry! You’re better off at Sunset Grill in E Norwalk! They have fresh food!
Bland, frozen seafood. Gordon's frozen fish out of the box is better. Location is the only thing going for this place. Not worth the wait or the money.

On A Positive Note: It has a nice water view and the free parking lot.
While waiting to be seated, we ordered drinks. The strawberry daiquiri was horrible- a super sweet slushy.
My mom ordered The strawberry salad which was appealing to the eyes and the taste buds. Everything was really fresh. I ordered fried oysters. I asked the server about the seasonal vegetable so which she responded french fries or baked potato.🤔 I repeated myself and then she responded. She thinks it’s corn a cough, but she’s unsure if they have any. Upon verifying that they indeed had some I told her that I would have fries. She went on to tell me that I only have a choice of one side if I wanted to add a side of corn I can do so. 🤔 I never ordered corn. I simply inquired as to the seasonal vegetable. Nonetheless, my order arrived. It was pleasung to my eyes and freshly fried. The oysters were flavorful and juicy. My one complaint is the little cup of coleslaw that tasted more like a cheap mayonnaise cabbage mix. It would have helped if they added perhaps some carrots, some relish and/or vinegar, something.
The Verdict: I would return for the water view and the fried oysters, but I would definitely pass on the strawberry daiquiri. The service was ok but I would I would request a different server next time to compare.

I have been going here since I was a little kid. My grandparents found this restaurant about 30 years ago and it never fails to provide a good experience with great food. The service is great and you can’t beat the food quality. I encourage other families to make memories at this place as well. I look forward to going again!

Hands down one of my favorite lobster rolls ever. Our waitress was the absolute best, making our girls day in SONO even better. First but most definitely not the last time going there

Properly on the water, casual, good food, super approachable. All in all, nothing not to enjoy about the whole experience.
