50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Stratford

“By far the best and freshest Oysters and Clams on the market in the area“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Fantastic place for dining! Excellent food and staff!“

“Food and service is the best!“

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

“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“

“Always get our King Salmon here! Always order lunch too. The BEST FISH N CHIPS in CT, hands down!!! Better than many other big name seafood places and 1/2 the price. Fish was flaky, melt in your mouth quality. Breading was just right for the thick pieces (2) of cod you get with the meal. We will get fish n chips every time we shop. Wide variety of different offerings that are fresh. Employee (s)/owner incredibly knowledgeable. A go to for holiday time.“

“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… (:“

“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?“

“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“

Portion sizes and prices are among the best in the area. My taste buds are always satisfied whenever I eat here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ✨️“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Had a party of ten tonight for my brothers birthday. Many of us in the area have not been here before and it was an absolutely awesome time. Food, atmosphere and service was wonderful. Zach was with our table and he was so accommodating, with top customer service communication. Couldn’t recommend it higher. A must if and when in the area. We will be back. Thanks Zach and chef ! * footnote. The prime rib special was a 10/10. Haven’t had anything like it in years.“

“Once again last night you did not disappoint me. Food was great, Service was great, Drinks, well, Espresso Martini, I can drink them all night. I don't have a unpleasant thing to say. Was there with some friends of mine and their daughter who's back from school for a long weekend. No pictures of food, you know what your food looks like. Probably 50% cheaper than some of the restaurants a little further down the Post Rd in Fairfield Center that I drove by. I never feel rushed at your place. Thanks again for making a special night even more special.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I drove to Connecticut for a 3k walk/ 5k run on a beautiful Sunday. I looked for a place to have lunch afterwards and stumbled on this gem. I did not have a reservation and the hostess was very nice and gave me a table without any hesitation. The views were stunning and the food was absolutely delicious. My waitress and the rest of the staff were so attentive, I did not feel rushed even when the restaurant was starting to get busy.“

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

“Testo's is hands down the best restaurant in town, if not all of fairfield county. Their food and portions are phenomenal, and never disappoint. My friends and I frequently visit and almost always order off the specials menu, which has something for everyone. My last dish was Lobster Ravioli Lillian. It was slap yo mama good 😍😍😍😍.Don't pass this place up!“

“Stopped here for lunch driving from Newport to Philly on a Sunday. I think we got lucky and caught their last day of the season? Driving their from 95, we had our doubts, but great find. We enjoyed the burger and the fish & chips. Beautiful late summer day, enjoyed on their top deck in the shade.“

“Very delicious food and good service“

“Great breakfast and coffee“

“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“

“I have lived in CT for the past 8 years and have always been searching for a great Jamaican Restaurant. Look no further!!! I found it today!!!
Family Flamez Restaurant in Fairfield, CT, is the best Jamaican Restaurant in ALL of CT.
I bought a medium Oxtail with rice and peas. After the first bite, I don’t know what happened, because the plate was empty in a flash. Luckily I bought a Festival and I used it to wipe up every last bit of the gravy, it was that good!!!
If you’re ever in CT and looking for authentic Jamaican Cuisine, Family Flamez is the place to go. Sorry no photos to display because the food was gone before I knew it. Compliments to the Chefs!!!!“

“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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I highly recommend BRYAC Restaurant & Bar!!! The atmosphere is cool and inviting. The customer service is wonderful. And the food and drinks are delightful, delectable, & reasonably priced. Be sure to visit & dine at BRYAC's ... Your palate will thank you!!!... smile Lisa L. Jackson Glen Mills, PA (Bridgeport, CT native)“

“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 ⭐️“

“Great place for dining and drinks, especially when you compare it to the other establishments in the area. The best quality is the service, which is surprisingly pristine considering how busy this place gets, especially during happy hour. The place can be packed to the brim with people, and you will still get served quickly without diminishing the quality of the food/drinks. You can watch the bartenders make the drinks in front of you, and they serve you within minutes without cutting corners, before moving onto the next person. I’ve seen places half as busy, take twice as long to serve their patrons.“

“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!!“

“Unico! me encanto ♥️ la comida muy riquisima y elegant! hoy prove Camarones Al ajillo y bandeja paisa 👌“

“All was delicious great welcoming customer service and very clean great prices“

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

“waterbury location. tried to give them benefit of the doubt since they just opened but they were rude. told my son shut up when they made mistakes. they never even fixed the error and basically robbed him from $13 shrimp basket but argued with him about it. hate to say it cuz the garlic parm wings were best I've had but definitely won't be back“
