Bistro Mediterranean Tapas & Bar

We've been in Westbrook, CT for several days and this place served by far one of the best meals we've ever had - not just here, but elsewhere. Hubby and I both had the luscious lobster bisque brimming with mussels, shrimp and scallops. Then we shared some tapas - Spanish style crab cakes that melt in your mouth, beautifully prepared mussels (we asked them to hold the crushed red pepper which they did) and sautéed asparagus. And one of the dishes came with yummy parmesan fries. Friendly atmosphere and good service to top it off. I can't recommend this place more highly!

The food was so fresh and very delicious. We only did tapas but they were excellent. The service was even better.

The food was very good. I ordered the fish stew, which was a BOWL FULL of tasty treats. My wife had scallops and risotto. Her sauce on the dish was heavenly!!! Unfortunately, the staff only gives you a piece of bread each, which is wholly inadequate to sop up all that rich goodness. I did ask for more and we received another piece each. A basket of bread in this case was highly warranted. Our waiter was exuberant and efficient, though I found him to be a little overboard to my liking. All in all a nice place to eat with. reasonable prices

This was our favorite restaurant in the area during our three night B&B getaway. Food was delicious, nice relaxing ambiance, friendly staff & we were even offered a tres leches dessert for our birthdays!

My husband had the seafood stew and he loved it. It was quite a lot of seafood in there. His only minor complaint was that he wished he had something to sop up the nice broth with. There were potatoes at the bottom, but he would have likely preferred something more absorbent. We asked for more bread and they happily obliged. I had the scallops with risotto. I was expecting the typical loose risotto, but it was little risotto cakes that were apparently lightly fried with the fontina cheese and they were quite delicious with with an ever so slight crunch to the rice. The sauce was so incredibly tasty. I did not find any chunks of lobster in the lobster champagne sauce but I didn't care since it was so delicious. I also asked for more bread in order to sop up every last drop of the sauce. This scallops dish was not for people with a huge appetite, but it was perfect for me. We skipped dessert. The service was pleasant and quick and thorough. We would return and hope we can, since we don't come this way often.

We were looking for a different experience with unique cuisine and we were not disappointed! They have a wonderful wine selection and the apps we ordered were so delicious. Definitely worth putting this restaurant on your list of places to visit.

Went a little after noon this Saturday, no one else in the restaurant (not a good sign). Got four appetizers to share with my partner, pretty sure they gave me one I didn't order. No bartender so I couldn't try any mixed drinks they had listed. Food was bland, boring and a waste of money. The only good thing was the piece of fresh-baked bread at the beginning.

This cozy, energetic restaurant was the perfect place to have a great meal. I love tapas, and I was glad to have a quieter alternative to Barcelona. We shared the cheese croquettes, the tomato bruschetta, the meatballs, the Spanish omelette, and the fried turnovers - everything was great! We might come back to try their entrees, as their tapas were so good (and filling!) that we didn't have any space for a main meal. Our waitress was super nice and refilled our water regularly

Third visit. Consistently terrific! Delicious food, fabulous service by friendly and professional staff. Highly recommend!

Stopped by for an appetizer. Strongly recommend ordering the crab cakes. Delicious 😋.

Wonderful experience, especially since we came during the closing hour. We got the Roasted Duck, Lobster Ravioli, and Garlic Shrimp. Immaculate flavors, and whatever wine sauced used for the duck will have us coming back. The service was perfect, they were nearby but not hovering. I didn’t catch our waiters name(s) but thank you!

Celebrated Father’s Day here and was not disappointed. Good was very good, our favorites were mussels, tuna tartare, beet salad, seafood paella, lava cake and mango sorbet. Bread was very good as well. They have a good selection of cocktails and wines. Prices were very reasonable. I wish they had outside dining. Other than that everything was good. Definitely recommend.
