Every time I come to this establishment, it's a great experience. Staff is great, food is great. Ordered the fried artichoke hearts appetizer and they were breaded perfectly, and the flavor was perfect. The steamer clams were also a home run with the clarified butter and extra clam broth. Drinks were good and our server, Michael, was attentive to details and professional. Can't wait to go back.

Always delicious and the waterfront views are beautiful! Try the spicy guava coconut margarita and the scallops if those specials are still available.Parking: Limited parking available, especially when the restaurant behind it (Guilford Lobster Pound) is open for the season.

I went there during low season for lunch and we had a nice experience. It is right on the sea and could see the fisherman cleaning the crab pots. Very nice and quiet

Lovely place on the water. We came for Easter brunch. Overall good food, raw bar, carving station with ham, lamb, and porkcetta, kids' food, and dessert. So many choices that all were happy.

Unfortunately, our experience at the Guilford Mooring fell short of expectations. The owner or manager's demeanor towards children was notably rude and unwelcoming in general. Additionally, we found the lobster roll to be excessively overpriced, listed as market price but charged at $34 per roll, which was disappointing given the overall poor condition of the establishment. Not recommended for those seeking value for their money.

Very consistently good food! Often it’s excellent. They do not offer cream based chowder, but the clear broth style chowder is very good.I like the PEI muscles, seared scallops and shrimp and linguine and clams. They give you tons of linguine!Service is always very good. Nice views of a working fishing dock and ocean.Parking: Parking lot is small and, if busy, you may have to walk 100 yards to park.

A must if you are ever in Guilford. We went for lunch and it did not disappoint. A lobster with a lot of fresh plain lobster served with butter on the side. The roll was fresh and toasted perfectly.

Lovely atmosphere and the food would of been great the fish tacos where cold we were first there and last to be served only one waitress loved the steamers I will go again hopefully there will be more servers I was very disappointed looked
The food was excellent and the service was great. We went out for a ride and decided we wanted to find a place on the water that we've never been to before. We came across this place, and it's a hidden

Late lunch Fri 1/12/24. The service was very good but the food was disappointing. Some of the oysters (8 ordered) were small, one or two less than half the average size. The crab and corn soup was very tasty but the cup serving was small ($11). The mahi-mahi tacos were good - lots of fish - could have used some extra salsa as they were a bit dry. We liked the crunchy bread pieces - had a nice texture and taste. And last but not least, they don't serve Bud Light. I went with another brand, and it wasn't near as cold as it should have been.

I highly recommend Guillford Moorings restaurant with anyone who has food allergies. They were able to accommodate multiple food allergies between me and my son. The food was delicious ! The atmosphere was fun, casual, and is nestled between a marina. The sunset is beautiful to watch!5 stars!

My husband and I were looking for a good spot for a nice lunch by the water and discovered Guilford Mooring . We were not disappointed ! Our waitress Ashley started us off by serving us perfectly blended Cherry manhattans and she gave us lots of time to enjoy them before taking our order . We both had Tai shrimp wraps that were absolutely delicious served with French Fries… we also had onion rings . So good ! We live about an hour from this restaurant but will return and try dinner there . Thank -you Ashley and Chef Anthony Pellegrini for a wonderful experience!
