16 Best Seafood Restaurants near Colchester

“My husband and I went to Casa Real today and when you walk in, the atmosphere is so welcoming and beautiful art everywhere. The staff is amazing and friendly. The food was delicious and came out quickly. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I spent one night at the Hampton Inn next-door to the lighthouse restaurant and instead of driving into Burlington I decided to walk to the lighthouse restaurant. Wow wow wow! I was really surprised how fantastic my meal was and the drinks were Over the top great.

I asked If the tuna was fresh and it simply was fantastic. There are some reviews that are subpar on this website but personally, I think these people just had a bad night. I come to Burlington often and stay at this hotel and there’s no need for me to drive into Burlington, search for place to park since now I have my new favorite. Nice people and great food.“

“A positive experience which began the moment I stepped inside the door. A pleasant space and a positive atmosphere go a long way. Even the cocktail had an aesthetic that seemed personal. Exceptional food, not just the expected (I knew I would love the trout) but the unexpected (I tried a turnip dish and they changed my attitude towards turnips).“

“Firecracker is my absolute favorite take out go to!!“

“The dining experience was average overall. $30 lobster roll had as much lettuce as it had lobster and lacked flavor. Lobster bisque was very good. Great views. Open tables all around but the four tables of guests were crammed into one corner of the building.“

“Excellent customer service! At my first visit, I was given some incorrect information by an employee regarding the origin of the seafood I purchased. I left a comment in the follow up email receipt I received and was immediately credited for the mistake without even requesting retribution. I probably would not have been a return customer, but thanks to the exemplary customer service, I'll give them another try.“

“Wow! We've been loyal Tiny Thai customers for years, but decided to try Suvi's because it's so much closer. The rice is fluffy, the vegetables are cooked perfectly. Very fresh tasting. Love the yellow curry dish, the stir fried chicken with cashews and pad thai are sooo good. And the spring rolls and crab ragoon are just lightly fried. Deelish. Husband wife team are super nice. New favorite place for take out.“

“A wonderful place to be on a warm sunny day. Shade or sun options. Good menu. My group had coconut shrimp, fish tacos and a falafel burger. All excellent with fast, friendly service. Plenty of seating available for lunch, even on this beautiful day in July. Lots of paid parking available.“

“Mom and pop shop. Counter service only. A solid creemee but I always come back for the clam chowder and fried haddock roll.
The clam chowder might be the best in the state. The haddock roll I always add lettuce, tomato and onion to- it’s always cooked perfectly which means it’s a flakey and messy sandwich. The buns always buttered and the produce is always fresh on the sandwich.“

“Booked a table and was ready on time.Surpringingly Busy i think for a Wednesday.The waitress was great and you would think i would remember her name.She was very attentive but not over bearing.WE did eat near entrance bit didn't affect our dining experience.Food was delicious but oysters were a bit small but Tasty.That could be the way they come at this time of year.The food was very good and first time there.stayting at best western and Restaurat is like 1 minute walk.Will be back as my wife is a patient UVM.Would laos go by myself has a good atmosphere.Might sit at the car if by meslef.Thanks for the great meal and great service,“

“Disappointed by the lack of customer consideration. The late-night menu is advertised to begin at 10 PM, yet when we called at 9:30 PM on a busy Saturday night, we were told only pizzas were available. This is misleading and frustrating. The posted information is not accurate, and unfortunately, it doesn’t reflect the needs of a busy harbour location where late-night dining options are expected. It also shows on google you are currently closed. Please consider updating your hours and menu details to reflect actual service and better support your patrons.“

“I go here for banh mi, love the pickled veggies from scratch, and hot peppers added in.“

“This restaurant has been our favorite for 20 years! We go several times a year and have never, ever had a bad experience. The staff is so knowledgeable and top notch. The food is superb (especially the sesame chicken dumplings and dry fried green beans…..and the cauliflower….and the lemon shrimp…..and if there’s any fish specials….)“

“Super-fun experience at the culinary experience at the Essex Resort in Essex, VT. Our instructor, Denise, led us through the recipes and techniques to create a wonderful Vermont dinner that included roasted root vegetables, braised chicken (in dark beer and demi-glacé) with shallots and a variety of mushrooms, and a lovely kale salad. We were given the opportunity to decorate autumn themed sugar cookies as well as dip tiny apples into a luscious caramel coating. A small group of 9 students made the experience very intimate. Our meal was served with wine and fresh bread accompanied by an herbed compound butter. Denise was a perfect instructor and I would recommend the experience to anyone who loves to cook.“

“I had the Rotisserie cater an event for us. From start to finish ...it was a wonderful experience. The catering woman Diane. Is a gem. From booking to set up...We had no stress and food was amazing“
