“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!“

“Very delicious food and good service“

“@shellandbonesoysterbarandgrill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful birthday party with my beloved wife. Her request this time was seafood, and I indulged her with this excellent decision. I highly recommend it. Especially the BOUILLABAISE 49 Scallops + Mussels + Manila Clams + Rock Shrimp + Black Bass in their red sauce was delicious! The salmon and the kids' meal were good, even though it was a Monday, the place and the bar had a great atmosphere. Food: BOUILLABAISE $49 Scallops + Mussels + Manila Clams + Rock Shrimp + Black Bass (It was delicious, my darling) SALMON WITH PEPITA COVER $40* Spiced Pumpkin Puree + Broccoli Rabe + Tomatillo Green Sauce DRINKS: Mojitos Margaritas We're almost there; An excellent place, we loved it so much that we made a reservation through Opentable, which never fails. I recommend going to Bajada del Sol. I highly recommend it. Shell & Bones Oyster Bar and Grill“

“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 ❤️“

“Food is great waitress was very nice and helpful you must get there before 6pm. Parking area is small“

“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!!! Wow!!! Worth the drive from Hartford to New Haven to get it too!!!😉Prices? Go and be pleasantly surprised!!!!“

“Fantastic fish, service, & atmosphere“

“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“

“Delicious lobster roll, fries and onion rings! Not inexpensive but super tasty. We took ours to the beach down the street and ate them there“

“Good food,great people! Always a friendly relaxing environment.“

“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“

“Been here a number of times for lunch. Fried clams are very good, soups good. Tartar sauce very mild, very disappointing-ketchup works but why such a continuous let down?“

“Best seafood in west haven“

“The food was great! The onion rings were tasty as were the clams! I think I've found a new Seafood place to fill the void which Jimmie's has left behind. The only drawbacks were the parking and it's in a neighborhood that is less than inviting.“

“The food here is truly exceptional, consistently fresh and bursting with flavor. Every visit is accompanied by a visually appealing presentation. However, there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly in terms of customer service and hospitality.

Every time I’ve visited, I’ve had the same server, and she has been consistently unpleasant. She appears to be miserable and annoyed by her job. Initially, I let it go because it was so busy, but even during times of manageable traffic, she remained unpleasant.

Additionally, the line setup and flow are quite confusing and lack order in my opinion.

Despite these minor issues, the food is still excellent. It’s of great quality, comes in generous portions, and is always fresh.“

“Very friendly staff/ bartenders. Excellent food. Always Good vibes. Great location.“

“I tried everything here, everything is cooked to perfection.
Clam Chowder is the best here.
Hot lobster rolls are awesome, delicious, the dinner is very reasonable price it comes with fries and coleslaw 😋.
Every item is made In house (Tatar, Coleslaw, Cocktail Sauce, Breading the seafood) everything is made per order.“

“This restaurant is my number one restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to that place. everytime I want to go to a delicious meal, this is the place that comes right away to my mind. very good and varied food and a rich menu.courteous team, and pleasant ambience. Also, the cost is reasonable. I suggest this spot with great pleasure.“

“The chicken with a side bogo is an undeniable banger! Mac n cheese is so good and don't forget the banana pudding 😋“

“At first I was like, “I don’t like seafood boils.” I came here, now I’m hooked, garlic butter spicy, all me. Delish, the best seafood boil compared to others. 😋“

“The spirit of Latin food cooked and served with pride in this eatery. Very clean with a great daily menu that changes with a warm welcome every time. This eatery hits on flavor across the bord with unique seafood salads with amazing Empanada made fresh daily.“

“Was great love the food was tasty I will be back“

“The sushi is very fresh, the staff and sushi chefs are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place, this was my 5th time here.“

“Excellent food and service“

“made reservations and it took 30 minutes of not even having our drink order taken and having to say something before getting service. Two of our party had their chairs collapse (and no, they were not obese). Waitress was lovely, however, walked into the restaurant to use the bathroom to find several other waitresses loudly talking about how annoged they were by our table. Went back in to let my son use the restroom and they were speaking badly about another table. needless to say, wont be back. which sucks because our boat is there.“

“Service is impeccable! The food is outstanding Great drinks and wines to choose from. Last but not least the entrepreneur is one of the nicest people!! This placevis a big 10!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“great fresh seafood.. ordered a whole belly clam basket..good portion size and cole slaw very fresh...can't wait till next visit!“

“5 ⭐️We went here to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from Sacred Heart University. Their location in Trumbull near the college was over an hour wait. Found out there was a second (original ) location in Stratford, On the phone they told us to come right over, they were waiting for us. When we arrived they welcomed us with open arms, were super friendly and super attentive. They treated my daughter like a super star. The food was delicious and the cocktails were so creative and tasty. Would highly recommend and will definitely return.“

“Excelente servicio!!! Excelente servicio !!!“

“🥦 Rabe & sausage..THE BEST ❤️“

“Great breakfast and coffee“

“4 of us had dinner last night, food was excellent! The eggplant rollatini was stuffed with ricotta, tender eggplant and delicious sauce. My husband had sausage & mushroom pizza. Nice crust, just enough toppings and again, that sauce! Fried calamari was tender & crispy. 6 nice size shrimp in the cocktail. If I had anything to complain about it would be the cocktail sauce was a bit wimpy for my taste. More horseradish, guys! Lol Service was super, empty glasses and plates were removed after we finished. Cozy atmosphere, nice music at a good volume. I highly recommend the place! <3“

“The food is absolutely delicious and the help is extraordinarily polite and helpful. Our new favorite Italian restaurant!“

“It’s my go to spot. Grill master is on point, grilling street side. Jerk pork to die for. Tastiest Jamaican food in Bridgeport area. Great staff. 5 ⭐️“

“Best hot dogs in Ct“

“I have zero complaints about this establishment. Great food, great service, great atmosphere.“

“I stopped here for dinner after shopping at Bass Pro Shops/Cabelas, it was a good little find. I had some clam chowder and steamed clams, both were very good, they had good beer on tap too. Place had a good blue collar New England fisherman feel to it, great bartender, and its location felt like the kind of place which may be next to the dock the seafood is unloaded at. I’ll be back especially if riding my motorcycle on the CT turnpike as this place also appeared very friendly towards bikers.“

“I really don’t post reviews but this food was soooo good I have to. I’m a woman raised by a Southern Belle who cooked, catered and was well-known in the food arena. I had fried chicken, collard greens and potato salad. Closest meal I’ve ever had to my mother’s cooking. So well cooked. Thank you for a wonderful Sunday dinner. Hats off to the Chef! We will be back. #lifetimecustomer“
