“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“

“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“

“Great breakfast and coffee“

“I have had multiple delicious lobster rolls and tacos from this place. Great bisque too!“

“Nicole was amazing !!! She was Great … very attentive and got every order correct. Thank you Nicole from Hook and Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar“

“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 ❤️“

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

“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?“

“Absolutely love this restaurant! The staff is super friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Santana helps pick the BEST dishes!! The environment is cozy, chill, and relaxing — it’s just a place to go when you want some good food and a calm night! Now the FOOD is FIVE STARS!! Never had an issue and I’ve been here many, many times. Always cooked to perfection. The dessert is yummy and their special coffee is the best I’ve ever had… If you have never been, don’t walk, but run… (:“

“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.“

“I eat Ramen somewhere in the country every week. probably the best Ramen I have ever had.“

“some of the best shrimps you'll buy short of going to Jimmies of Savin Rock“

“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.“

“Been wanting to try it for a long time and Covid made it difficult. Finally got a great seafood queen item- fast delivery , amazing taste, and flavors. Definitely be ordering again“

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

“11.3.24 My 1st time visiting and eating Portugese food. The service was excellent. The food was flavorful and delicious. It was a bit loud with the screaming kids around us, but that just added to the atmosphere. If I loved closer, I'd be here again very soon.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Very delicious food and good service“

“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!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“They were so accommodating in changing an appetizer to an entree and a specific sauce on gnocchi, when we brought some quarantined relatives appetizers, entrees and deserts, last week. They raved about everything and the price was fantastic!“

“Simply the BEST Mexican restaurant in CT! My go to is either the enchilada combo … the best MOLE sauce ever!! OR, the carnitas plate… everything is excellent!!!“

“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.“

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

“Last night we were there for an early Birthday dinner for me! It's been a long time since we've dined at Ralph 'n' Rich's, but I will say that our food was delicious, & the service was superb! Brittany was our server, & she was awesome! I can't recall our busboy's name but he was great with bringing bread to our table, & refilling our water glasses as needed. I had the baby arugula salad special to start, & it was so tasty & the perfect beginning before having an old favorite of mine, linguine with white clam sauce. My hubby really enjoyed the Spiedina Romano which is a kicked up mozzarella appetizer that if he fully polished it off, he wouldn't have ate his Chicken Piccata then tangerine sorbet afterwards! Don't worry, we brought home leftovers to enjoy! Topping off things was a surprise singing of "Happy Birthday" when my tartufo came out! Reservations are strongly recommended especially for dinner, but Ralph 'n' Rich's is a gem that's had staying power in Downtown Bridgeport for many years. Go there & enjoy!“

“A perfect Christmas Eve meal. Crab cakes were delicious. The Caesar salads excellent-cold and very crisp. The NE Clam chowder was the only item that was just so-so. Under seasoned and very, very bland. Cocktails spot on! Service was truly outstanding. We loved it!“

“🥦 Rabe & sausage..THE BEST ❤️“

“Tried the Lobster Ravioli and I’m still thinking about it. The sauce had lobster, shrimp, and scallions mixed in, and it was packed with flavor. Every bite was creamy, savory, and full of seafood — exactly what I was hoping for. It felt indulgent but still balanced. I also appreciated the small details around the restaurant. I didn’t even notice the outlet and purse hook at first, but that’s such a convenient touch once you spot it. The pricing is reasonable too, especially considering the quality of the ingredients. Nothing felt overpriced. From the food to the atmosphere, everything just came together nicely. I left happy and full, which is always a win. Definitely a place I’d recommend checking out.“

“The place is awesome. The crab and shrimp is amazing. I recommend trying the Du Jour family catch for $49.99. I gave 5 star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“Family Flamez is the GOAT. I live in Philly now and have tried to find other restaurants that make a better oxtail and it’s no comparison. This is the best Jamaican place on the eastern seaboard. When you’re here you’re family. Give them your money now! It’s not too spicy it’s called flavor. The meat is fall off the bone. Fried chicken is mind blowing, portions are plentiful. There is an Artist at work in that kitchen and we should all bow down. Period.“

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

“Best restaurant ever. Every visit was great! Food Great! Service great! Atmosphere great ! This is our go-to restaurant. Highly recommend !“

“Went last night for the first time to celebrate my birthday with my granddaughter. The food was great and we were treated to the best waiter and manager. The service was the best that i have had in a long time and made us feel so special. The veal dish I had was wonderful, Large portion for the price and my granddaughter had the chicken parm and she couldn't finish her dish. I will definitely go again and tell my friends about this gem of a 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.“

“ordered for dinner! love it that they are on Uber now! the gizzards are the best!! but tonight it's pulled pork and it is ssssoooo good!!“

“stopped in today for lunch! excelent service! excelent food! Will not need dinner today lol“

“Perfect texture on shrimp cocktail - nice big shrimp. The buffalo wings are soft and tender inside and nice and crispy outside.“

“(Translated by Google) I loved the food for the first time I ordered it, it made me feel like I was eating in my country and very good customer service(Original)Me encanto la comida primera vez que pido me encanto me hizo sentir como comer en mi país y muy buena atención al cliente“
