41 Best Seafood Restaurants near Wallingford

“This was my first time dining at this restaurant. Gina the waitress was super friendly and very accommodating. The Atmosphere was great as we had a view of the stream. I had lobster taco which was pretty good, it could of been a bit more seasoned, but overall i enjoyed my meal. The cost is somewhat on the pricey side. I would definitely go back.“

“Very excited and pleased to see this wonderful restaurant rebrand to be more seafood based. All of their product prior to the change was incredibly fresh, well prepared, and delicious. This continues into their new identity!!

Highly recommend!!

Only big recommendation for the establishment is to include more sauce in each order.. as a lover of seafood boils and a friend of many other boil lovers.. we know this is often the most expensive part of the endeavor but we LIVE for that juicy sauce!! ..

Thank you for the change and addition to route 5 strip!

Every seafood boil lover MUST try!“

“Brilliant service and quick timing on food“

“The food is exceptional…creative and delicious. Great drinks as well. Awesome place.“

“I can't thank you guys enough for such great food for our family get together. Everyone loved the dinner and I had so many compliments on the how good everything was, especially the mac and cheese. It seems that we have found new catering for our family functions, and I can't thank you enough. It saved me much needed time and things were simply delicious. Dealing with Jan was super easy via email and phone with no problems. Extremely accommodating. All in all, one of the best caterings I've ever had to deal with. I would recommend them highly.“

“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!!!!“

“Red lobster is definitely trying to up their game. The menu is simpler than before and the food is far more consistent. We found the dessert way too sweet. Their cocktails are good, but can certainly use some tweaks. Their steaks were never their main draw, and it still isn't, so avoid it if you can. It has been years since we went to Red Lobster and now we have gone twice in as many months. Looking forward to going again soon.“

“Whole belly clams were very good.Clam chowder was delicious.Will definitely to back again.Great service.“

“Just there yesterday. Always great service and good food, never disappoints. Clams on the half shell were great as always.“

“I don't go to very many restaurants except for Kimberly's and occasionally another one or two. I'm a regular customer. The food is excellent (The quesadillas are superb!), the help is pleasant, and atmosphere is nice. Kimberly's menu is so large that anyone should be pleased.“

“Quality & Freshness! Your food is made to order in just a few minutes. We like that! Their quantities are kind of large so we always take our leftovers home and heat them up - nice & crispy - in our air fryer. Friendly staff, great service extra clean environment. Overall, a really nice place. It's a 10 out of 10 for us.“

“We hosted my daughter’s first birthday party at Morava. From initial contact and choosing a menu through clean up on the day, every step of the process was smooth and stress free. It was a huge relief to know we found a space that could accommodate our group of about 20 people and also handle the food and most other supplies, rather than having to work with multiple different vendors. The food, as always, was delicious and the staff was helpful and attentive. I strongly recommend Morava, whether you’re looking for a local restaurant to add to your regular dining rotation or a place to host a special event.“

“*update: Bar Experience. The bar was very well equipped, the bartender ( Alex) was very attentive, knowledgeable and efficient. Carlos made sure everyone was tended and had what they needed. Great teamwork behind the bar. The food Experience at the bar matched that of the dining room experience. The bar and restaurant was busy but Alex, Carlos and all of the staff hustled and the food was hot, tasted wonderful and of course left me wanting desert. If you have not visited this establishment, you are missing out. Everything from their service, their extensive drink menu, their delicious "tapas", their creative specials, their daily menu to their tray of deserts is an experience. Come on by, I promise you will not be disappointed. Check out the updated Bar Experience pictures. A hidden Gem in downtown Southington. This is our second visit here and we are absolutely in love with this restaurant. From its eclectic decor, super attentive staff to its fabulously fantastic tasting tapas and entrees....where do I truly begin. The owners ( Rob, is always stopping by to say hello and check in) are visible and make you feel welcomed, my waitress Alyssa was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delicious. The pictures below do no justice to the flavors that pop as you are eating them. You can't wait to come back. Oh I almost forgot....the drinks....the best Sangrias!!!! Yes! Sangrias...Sangrias!! You must stop by.“

“I can’t decide what’s better.. the food or the customer service.“

“Last week my family and i had dinner at Flair which is one of our favorite restaurants and Hector the owner told us his family bought Fratellis. We said we would come in this week snd try out the new restaurant. We had told Hector the we loved clams casino and he remembered and even though they were not on the menu he brought some to us from Flair. They were excellent. We also had the best chicken dish ever which was called chicken fratellis. It was very obvious that Hector and his family bent over backwards to ensure our experience was amazing and.......it was. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have a fabulous meal and feel that you are appreciated. Thank again“

“always good! split pea soup and Italian wedding soup are excellent. seafood always fresh and cooked to perfection! pretty much anything you order will be pleasing to your palate!“

“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“

“Food is always amazing!! There pizza is awesome!!! DN“

“I’ve gone here a few times but every single time was great! The food is always delicious and very interesting my bf has an extreme shellfish allergy but they’re very accommodating to it. The dining room echos conversations a bit but everything else about this place is amazing lol we’ll def be monthly regulars☺️“

“It's difficult for me to eat a meatball parmigiana grinder and give it 5 stars. Today is the day I do so. Absolutely delicious!
The staff was friendly and professional, the service was swift, and the food was excellent.
I'll do a follow-up review when I try their pizza and other menu items.“

“Awesome lunch!! Steak & cheese was outstanding!“

“We had dinner tonight at Nikki and Frankie's on Route 80 on the recommendation of a friend.. the eggplant was fantastic and made the right way the good old-fashioned Italian way.. the meatballs were legit the sauce was delish and couldn't be any fresher... we were welcomed like we were walking into aunties dining room and the place was clean as a whistle.. A must go to !“

“Best Chinese Food in Meriden“

“We are new in the Hamden area, and were really unsure as to what China place we wanted to try, as the reviews for everything local was not great, so we both decided to try Gold Star and oh boy was it good, chkn broccoli, general chows and crab Rangoon. They were all fantastic, especially the crab Rangoon, nice and krispy and the filling was so good. We really appreciate it chef thank you! Will be back soon.“

“The pizza is the best ever. The sauce is so sweet and they do not scrimp on toppings. We always enjoy getting a large to have leftovers the next day. Keep up the good work and we certainly will be ordering over and over. The trip from Bethany is so worth it .“

“This place has the BEST mac & cheese!! So much so that it was my first pregnancy craving last year. 😂 super creamy, flavorful, and a huge portion that lasts me at least 2 meals!!“

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

“Had the Shrimp and NY Strip and it was excellent!“

“My first time here was a month ago having dinner in the steakhouse! If I could give 10 stars for the food, servers and atmosphere I would have. Last night we returned to dine in the tavern, food was absolutely delicious, Mariah our server greeted us with a friendly warm smile that she never lost each time she came to our table. We will be back very soon to sit on the balcony this time ! CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!“

“Great food, great time always there! A community staple for sure...“
