3rd table seated in an empty place. Hour and 40 minutes for food and drinks empty over and over. Don’t go to this rat hole. Rubbery lobster on a hot dog bun. Fish that tastes like a rear end. Clams that weren’t cooked even after sending them back. Congrats, out of six meals the only good one was the stuffed shrimp. Would have been better off buying a grill cooking and selling it. Probably would have been faster service. Automatic 20 percent gratuity

Awful: This is the second time I have ordered for pickup at this restaurant. The first time I ordered clam chowder, they served me the container filled to the top but it didn't have any clam meat. The second time I called I ordered the same clam chowder and I told the person that answer the call what had happened previously that the soup did not have clam meat on it and that I would like them to add some clam to the soup if possible and that if it was necessary to pay a little extra it was fine but everything was worse now the containers were practically empty, they added almost no clam meat and they charged me $2 extra for each soup. I leave you the photos of the containers so everybody can see them. Be careful if you order to pick up from this restaurant, always check the order before leaving.

Our seafood was really good. First time there as we were going to a concert in Bridgeport. Home cooked quality. Scampi was excellent. Would give a 5 star if they had more Portuguese selection. Hard to find in CT.

Stopped here for lunch. Beautiful views, great atmosphere and service. We started with the Spanish clams which were really delicious. I had the paella which was really flavorful and everything was cooked well but the lobster tail was a little tough. My dad got the pescado Frito estilo. He said the fish was cooked perfectly but the sides lacked a little flavor. Overall we had a good experience and would come back.

Dinner with friends at this hidden gem in Bridgeport. Fresh seafood is caught daily, in fact my friends buy fresh lobsters here. Outdoor deck with beautiful waterfront views. Food was tasty with several Latino specialty dishes on the menu. Not in the prettiest part of town, but that part of what makes it a "hidden gem". Service is casual and you can take your time, we went for an early dinner on a Sunday afternoon. There's enough seating indoor and outdoor to suggest that it could get busy during dinner. Not pricey for fresh seafood. Definitely worth a try
8/14/23 We went with friends last night for 7:30pm reservations for the first time to Dolphin's Cove Restaurant and Matine thought we would try a something by the water got to the restaurant at 7:20pm and we didn't get seated until 7:40-7:45ish for outside not a problem it happens, we were given menus as we were seated and told our server will be right with us well 15 to 20 minutes later a dissheveled waitress comes by and asks us if anybody has taken our drink/dinner order. We tell her no and proceed to give her our drink and appetizers order their are six of us so it should be a few minutes, keep in mind there are only 7-9 tables in the whole place, We waited and our conversation was light and fun we haven't got together since last year, at around 8:15 we start to wonder were our drinks are and my wife has gotten up to use the restroom as she's coming back she mentions theirs nobody at the bar except for somebody putting away and cleaning glass, 3 minutes go by and a waiter comes by and tells us our apps will be a few more minutes and asks if we would like any drinks? with a confused look on our faces we tell him the waitress already took our drink order and he's says he'll go ask her, (were like okay) another 10 minutes go by and he brinks out our drinks (1 coke, 1 spicy bloodymary, 3 caipirinhas, and carafe of sangria with 4 glasses keep in mind its now 8:25pm he places the drinks on the table and my wife goes to pick up her glass and it shatters in her hand spilling her drink all over herald the table ( that happens when you take a hot glass out of a dish washer and put cold liquids in it with out letting the glass's temperature adjust to the temperature shift). the waiter looks at my wife and leaves doesn't say anything doesn't offer her a napkin a paper towel nothing then I guess the manager comes over and ask my wife what did she do? She says are you kidding me and we all get up and walk out. My poor wife was covered in her cocktail mind you and its now 8:30 on a Sunday most place close at 9pm around here so we just decide to go home hungry and reschedule. I've worked in the restaurant business for 14 years this was 100% bad/horrible service and poor management you'll get better service from a school cafeteria then this place. I cannot complain about the food since we never got any to try but the "RED" flags are there in Neon colors.

Service was great, the food delicious. The location was not too good, near fishing boats. Thank you.

Any place that accommodates my daughter’s food allergies will get a 5 star review. Touched my heart when the waiter said “tell me what her allergies are and the chef will make it happen for her”. They even made her a special garlic sauce for her tostones.A little bit on the pricier side but being a marina restaurant I didn’t expect anything less. I pay extra for convenienceSo if you are ever around this area please stop by.Dietary restrictions: Allergy friendly
