50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Shelton

“They had the food truck at RiverFest today, and although I had lobster last night and was torn between the lobster roll or fish and chips (which I have been craving), I ordered the lobster roll. It was so good and full of delicious and perfectly cooked, buttery lobster! The roll was toasted to perfection and not soaked down with butter. It was so good! Price is reasonable as it comes with fries and coleslaw (which was also delicious!) Extremely friendly staff and very attentive to your ordering! 10/10 from me! I hope to see them in town soon so I can try the fish and chips!!“

“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“

“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“

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

“Amazing job on the renovation inside and out, cannot wait to taste some of your new menu choices and looking forward to the best lobster roll in CT!!“

“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 ❤️“

“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… (:“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Excellent food and service“

“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.“

“Best hot dogs in Ct“

“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“

“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!!“

“My favorite summertime go to place for amazing lobster rolls! Love everything about Dock 34.“

“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.“

“(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“

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

“So this used to be Ramirez which was so yummy, so we went there thinking it was still there. Turned out it was this little gem. It's Venezuelan food. So so good. My husband has empanadas. The cheese was ok but the chicken was fabulous. I had the black beans, rice and beef stew!!! So phenomenal. Absolutely yummy!!! The flan and tres leches were bomb to. Reasonably priced. Only thing I will say their was the language barrier. It was hard for me to understand and hard for the server to understand. That makes it difficult when you have questions. But still, we got our food correctly. Place is fabulous. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“
