Bristol's energy was palpable as we discovered a hidden treasure—a bustling fish market smack dab by the docks. The salty air was alive with anticipation, each breath a promise of fresh delights. We grabbed a sandwich, and what a revelation it was! The fish hit the spot with such freshness. This local favorite was a culinary masterpiece, lovingly crafted from the very boats that braved the sea for the freshest catches.
Watching the fishermen at work , The atmosphere buzzed with life, drawing us deeper into Bristol’s vibrant pulse. It wasn’t just a meal—it was a dive into local life, a snapshot of raw energy that defines this city.
Service was good as we ordered and sat outside , this is a small building . We left satisfied and truly in love with this slice of Bristol paradise. This is where the adventure truly kicks off. I will be back!
**HISTORY & CONTEXT**
Quito's restaurant Nestled in the harbor waterway this eatery embodies the region's rich maritime heritage. Fishing here isn't just a job; it's a way of life. Local fishermen have long depended on these waters to provide the freshest ingredients, ensuring every dish tells a story of the sea's bounty and the community's resilience.

I had the baked haddock at Quito’s Restaurant and it was exactly what I wanted. Fresh, flaky, and cooked perfectly without anything overpowering it. We also started with the crab cake appetizer, and that was just as good. Crispy on the outside, packed with crab, and not filler-heavy. Simple, fresh, and honestly just a really solid meal. I’d order both again.

Quito’s is a great spot to go in the summer since it’s right on the water, but I also love stopping there in the winter because of the fireplace and the small bar—without the crowds. They serve delicious drinks and seafood. Don’t miss this spot in the winter; I’m telling you, the vibe is awesome!

Food was acceptable but not great. A little old school in prep and presentation. Service was great - friendly, attentive, timely.

Food was excellent! Pan seared cod was good but the clam chowder was my favorite. Staff was friendly.

Restaurant wasn't open. No notification. Asked me to confirm my reservation, which I did, brought friends from out of town, and the restaurant was closed. Very disappointing. I realize this is more of an administrative problem than a food problem, but it was a problem!!
David
Always a great experience at Quito's! My wife and I visit the restaurant often when we're in the Bristol community. Thank you again for a great dinner and a relaxing atmosphere.
Jerry
Always a great dining experience. Staff are great and food is awesome. Sunsets are a bonus, reserve early.
Sharon
Wonderful evening at Quito's. We started with clam cakes and calamari and drinks, yummy. We split the seafood casserole and and side of fried oysters. Exceptional service, beautiful view and wonderful food. We love Quitos.
Right on the water. Great seafood, beautiful sunsets...right on Bristol Harbor.

Kristen was our server and she was excellent. My wife had the seafood casserole and I had the lobster casserole. I will say the amount of seafood in each casserole was exceptional but the drawback was the breadcrumb topping on each was way too dry, almost like sand so that took away from it a little. We had a dock side seat and it was perfect. We will def try it again.,

My waiter tried to deceive me. Otty did not give me the wine I asked for, instead he served me a wine that was sitting for a long time and then said it was just opened-two strikes. Then he turned to me and said" what's the difference". I was very disappointed. Food very good. Service very unacceptable.
