Seafood Restaurants near Uncasville

“When we were booking our stay at the Mohegan Sun, I wanted to make reservations for somewhere special and I picked the MJ steakhouse. The MJ steakhouse did not disappoint. Their team of hostesses and waiters were awesome. I had a few of their "air" -spressos (pic attached) which were delicious. My bf and I shared the Flight 23 and an order of their mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. All of the meat was cooked to perfection and the sides were delicious as well. Their special dessert of the night was creme brulee and it was to die for! Highly recommend this place!“

“Place was very pleasant looking upon arrival. Not very crowded. First put in a very tiny spot one had a nice soft bench seat the other person would have a hard chair. Being the person that would be stuck in the chair and not having a sore back at the time I asked if they had a small both or something similar. She said all they had were larger sized booths and would that be okay? Of course we were grateful and took her up on the offer. We looked over the menu and you can order reasonable or expensive. My husband started off with the clam chowder and I started off with clam fritters. His clam chowder was very tasty but on the watery side he said. My clam fritters were excellent. Just perfect cooked not burnt and super moist with actual clams inside. We both had oysters. The Mystic, Big Rock and Rhode Island. I can't believe how good these were. Perfect brine on each one. Very clean, perfectly shucked and meaty. Nice brine to every one. Next out was the steamer clams. Perfectly cooked. Nice and clean. Not one bit of sand in any of them. The taste however was not strong. Almost nonexistent same with the butter I was dipping it into. I still enjoyed them. My husband's ordered the whole belly clams. What came out looked more like a clam strip with a beginning pregnancy lol. Had the look hard to find the belly. After he mentioned it our server how we really couldn't see if they strips or whole belly. She said I can see the belly. However she told her manager who offered a replacement which he didn't want at that point so they just graciously removed the order from our bill. Our servers name was Ashley and she was very pleasant to work with. I wanted a hard seltzer. The only one available is Truly Berry on tap. Tasted fine but I had it with ice in a glass so I sure didn't get as much as someone who had it with no ice. Next time I'm going to ask for a glass of ice on the side. I will definitely return for the fritters and oyster's!! Never felt rushed. Orders came out as planned.“

“Many restaurants will charge high prices to create an aura of quality and fine dining, only to disappoint when it comes down to eating. Shipwright's Daughter is not that place. The prices are on the high side but wow, do they deliver. Four adults, four very different entrees and everyone left with all smiles. My beef strip loin was cooked perfectly and everything that accompanied it was tasty. Some signature cocktails were discounted for the 5 - 6 pm happy hour and were, again, delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive without overtaking the conversation. If your taste buds deserve a holiday this place is worth a visit.“

“We arrived at the restaurant around 7pm without reservations and were seated immediately (Thursday night in late April). The dining area faced the waterfront, looking clean and classic. Service was fast, courteous, professional and friendly, attentive without being smothering. We ordered bread which is made on site, warm and delicious; entrees included the Seafood Squid Ink Pasta and a glazed salmon and black bean risotto special. Both were cooked perfectly and very tasty. Portion size was good. Coffee was a little bitter; i usually take it black but found myself wishing for some sugar. Desserts were carrot cake and creme brulee which were ok. The small parking lot was full, but we found street parking. Prices were medium high, ok for a special evening out.“

“We traveled to this area to visit Connecticut College and wanted a place on the water and we chose On the Waterfront! I think every seat in the place has a great view of the water. We started with clams casino and a house salad and both were delicious. We had Cod Mediterranean and Scallops in a pancetta sauce over pappardelle pasta. The cod was juicy and tasted amazing and the scallops were cooked perfectly in a delicious sauce. Our server was lovely and attentive to all our needs. The only thing that disappointed us was our meals came out and our appetizers were not finished so therefore I did four stars instead of five.“

“We came to mystic for a weekend trip with our 4 children. I googled places for breakfast and kitchen little came up. I am so thankful we went and checked it out, it is in such a beautiful spot, we walked down by the water while we waited 5 minutes for a big table, the food was delicious, everyone was so welcoming, staff was amazing! I already want to go back for the eggs Benedict. And from ages 13, to 1 all my kids ate. Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area“

“Wedding photographer, Mystic local, and food lover here...Oyster Club is the best restaurant in Greater Mystic for sure. I've been with my wife for a few special occasions but have also photographed a wedding celebration here.Chef Renee and company know what they are doing. If you're anything like me, you'll love the uniqueness of everything Oyster Club has to offer, from the the dishes to The Treehouse. This is New England fine dining at its best.If you're in the area (and even if you're not; just make a reservation and plan a drive), you have to stop for a meal at Oyster Club!“

“Excellent atmosphere, service, libations and fare! Where else can you go to a Colonial Tavern-Restaurant that was built before the American Revolutionary War. I have been coming for years and have found that it’s gotten better if anything! Fireplace in the bar is great. It’s my favorite in Mystic CT.“

“Food was overall good. Went for the clam fritters and they were incredibly disappointing. Fritter was WAY too tough and made it a chore to chew. We didnt finish them because they were that bad. There was very little clam inside. Definitely would NOT order again. My husband got the whole belly clams and they were fresh and delicious but not cheap. Worth it in my opinion. I got the shrimp po'boy and it was good, but I didn't love the bread (very chewy and seemed to overpower the shrimp).“

“YESSSSS, THIS IS THE BEST !!!! 5 STARS & THE COSTOM SERVICE WAS EXCELLENCE A CUTE CLEAN PEACEFUL PLACE , I PLAN ON MAKING MR CRAB MY 1ST TO GO TO WHEN I'M HUNGRY & WANT A NICE ATMOSPHERE FOR A GATHERING FRIENDS AND FAMILY OR JUST YOU ALONE IS A LOVELY TREAT LOVELY PLACE ... YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED...“

“Unexpected delight! Great Bloody Mary’s, amazing garlic butter shrimp and hot lobster rolls! Menu has a wide variety of choices and we had TERRIFIC service. We will be back. (Sorry, enjoying the food too much to remember to take pictures!)“

“**Ocean Pizza: A Seaside Slice of Heaven**Ocean Pizza is a local favorite in New London, beloved for its delicious pies and cozy atmosphere. While it may not be widely known beyond the area, its loyal following speaks volumes about its quality. With a variety of toppings and crust options, there's something to satisfy every pizza lover's craving. Whether you're grabbing a quick pizza on the go or enjoying a leisurely meal with friends, Ocean Pizza delivers a taste of seaside charm with every bite.“

“Sat at the bar and had a happy-hour appetizer, mussels, and clam strips. All were great! Scored a reduced price on our drinks as well. It's Right downtown on the main street near the bridge. Kind of dark inside and not sure if outdoor seating is an option...but afterall we were there in April.“

“Great people working here! Actually friendly and welcoming. Ordered a pizza for pick up and ordered one when we got there. With no hesitation they made it and offered plates and napkins to go. Staff were super friendly. My mom recommended this place as we are visiting from out of state and it’s a win!“

“Great food, great quality, consistently delicious.I’m partial to the chicken plate which includes hummus, tabbouleh, fatoosh and grilled chicken with a roll of pita. I usually add on a few stuffed grape leaves as well, and this gets me 2 meals.“

“MY GOSH. I’m GF and this place was SO. GOOD. Here visiting my husband and I was blown away by the fact we could get authentic Chinese food that not only was AMAZING but also safe for me. That’s so rare! I love this place and I wish I lived here just so I could make it a weekly thing!“

“We have visited the place varios times and the food is incredibly good, it is served hot and in good combination of tastes. The personal is always asking if the could help in any way, and very courteous. The price is the "jaquemate" of this eating journey. We strongly recommend this.“

“I took my grandmother to Irenes for the first time and it did not disappoint. Food was great, service was excellent. The restaurant itself is not a bad place. If you want a good meal at a decent price, I recommend going to Irenes. I plan on doing a food review for my YouTube channel in the future.“

“4/21- current lobster roll price is $30. Got the Connecticut style one simply due to the fact that hot butter lobster rolls are superior to mayo based NE ones.The lobster roll was delicious but I thought it couldve has more lobster in it. Overall would recommend“

“We were a group of 5 in bit of rush to catch the ferry but came across this as we wanted to grab a quick bite before the ferry. Melora at Little Galapagos was the most fantastic server. She was amazingly helpful with the menu, quick with drinks and food, and went way above and beyond on service level. This was a completely random find for us and we were so glad we came here. Thank you Mel!“

“Im not surprised most of the other reviews are 5 Star. Let me explain something for the public:I have been an Oyster Fisherman for about 12 to 13 years. Most of that was been working for or contracting with Norm Bloom & Son. I’m pretty sure these guys are a subsidiary or contracted with them. The process from beginning to end of growing these oysters is outstanding and no one does it like we do. We lay down shell we’ve caught over the winter from ground we have mostly emptied(we use a suction boat retrieve the shell stock thats left) every July.There’s one week roughly in July the spawn are released from the Oysters and they sit in the water column. When we wash off the shell into the water, on its way down the spawn attach to the shell. That area is left to grow and we come back and dredge them up when they’re thumbnail sized. Those get shifted out from shore further and then quite some time after that they are moved to Norwalk and two weeks after that they are harvested, processed and bagged and pushed to restaurants like these(owned by us or normal restaurants).This process has an amazing heritage going back to the 1800’s and also, NO other shellfish is as tasty, well textured and nutritious as a shellfish from icy cold winter waters like we have here in CT. Our clams, oysters and even mussels(though they are mostly grown elsewhere as they’re problematic to grow here in the sound) I can say with certainty and authority are the BEST shellfish product you can possibly obtain in this country. Im assuming they can only be rivaled somewhat by our brothers in shell fishing over in Washington and Oregon and then maybe Europe, Scandinavia and Russia with their beautiful Shellfish resource.So ladies in gentlemen, in short and the reason I have made this review is so you all understand how blessed WE all are to have access to such a beautiful, RICH heritage and have the ability to TASTE that heritage, reap its benefits and understand why this product is superior.We are surely lucky, as many in the world will never have access to nor taste what amazing shellfish we have and if they do, it is subpar, warm water shellfish. Those waters are only good for spiny lobster, snapper and a few other fish species as far as taste and quality but the far northern and deep deep southern arctic and antarctic zoned sea food resources are a superior source to all other sources of seafood product I can assure you.Be thankful for the men (AND women more often these days!) who go out in the cold and in the heat, suffering long hours and a lot of sacrifice to their personal time and families to make sure that the companies and restaurants are well stocked with the highest quality product. Its a hard life and we do it because we love the water. Shellfish is Connecticuts greatest natural resource! Be proud of your home!Thanks for reading all!“

“The best Penne Vodka in town! Everything we ordered was delicious and the service was wonderful. We love this restaurant! We take everyone who visits here and they love it too. Highly recommend!Kid-friendliness: Nice selection of kids entrees.“

“Been here a few times now. Raw bar is excellent. Tried lobster roll, and specials each time we’ve gone and the chef does a great job. The vibe and service are perfect for this area on the water in Waterford. Definitely worth a visit for date night or the kids since they are a family friend place now.“

“Well we started off with staying down at the mystic Marriott hotel in spa Looking for some places to eat and we hit Google then Yelp and Ryan's pub came up So we took a drive we couldn't find the place it's actually a little hole in the wall pub/bar next to a smoke shop, the food was excellent we had some bang bang shrimp, I had a bacon barbecue Burger With a couple Of Jack and cokes and my significant other had like a seafood platter & I will say the food was great. I wish I had gotten some pictures of the food as it was the last thing on my mind. The Atmosphere is like a pub/bar & friendly So don't be afraid of that I definitely recommend this place, Hit them up for lunch or dinner But either way I can say the food was awesome better than most restaurants.“

“Always delicious- everything we have tried has been great. Prices are very reasonable and they deliver to us with easy online ordering. Can't say much about the ambiance or physical location since we always do delivery but the delivery folks have been kind and quick each time. Try the sesame chicken, the lo mein and the egg rolls are the best!“

“I'm biased. I grew up in Flanders and went to school with the family that owns it. That being said, they offer classic shoreline fare, as well as some neat and exciting takes if you're looking for something fancy. It's got new England charm with a touch of class, so it's definitely a step up from most seafood joints. Everyone is super friendly, the food is great, and it's a great place to take your family.“

“It's what you'd come to expect from an excellent Diner, and it definitely has something of a family atmosphere, as well as one of "community" from the locals who live in the area. It's a diner, and not some highbrow restaurant, but considering what it is, I gave it five stars across the board. The portions are not tiny, but they're not tremendously large either, but it certainly is delicious, the service is friendly & decent-good (some visits I've had to flag-down my waitress to ask for a coffee refill, which I then soon recieved; & the staff is good with removing finished plates & trash from your table), & it's busy but roomy "diner" atmosphere is nice.“

“We had a great dinner from Woodfellas! Saw it as I dove by earlier in the day and decided to give it a try. We did take-out but the atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting! Our next meal here will be dine in.The owner greeted me as I walked in and was very pleasant! We ordered the love salad and a cheese pizza. The salad was amazing! Full of garlic and pepper and cheese and salami! Authentic Hughies Love Salad!! The pizza was great! Sauce was good with a nice wood fire crust! Fabulous dinner and can't wait to dine in!“

“Great food! Everything was flavorful, fresh, and delicious. We ordered a shrimp dish with veggies and rice...the shrimp was cooked just right which a lot of places can get wrong real fast. Also ordered the dumplings, lo mein, pan fried noodles, and crab rangoons. Dumplings tasted very fresh and the crab rangoons were on point, not too sweet, just right. Definitely making this place our new favorite to order from!“

“We regularly visit the place every summer, this year the food is top notch. The taste ,the quality can't beat it. We had the cauliflower fries, chicken and lamb gyro with curly fries. The fries are so fresh and crispy, the gyros are fresh,well seasoned making it mouth watering tasty. I don't know what changes they made this year, the food taste a different level ( best) than previous year. Tasty,fresh good quantity.“

“Tony D's isn't your typical whole bunch of flavors I've cream location but they look fun. Service was quick and efficient but I wish she would have suggested options since I was lost. The actual location has no sitting but the house next door seems is where you can go and sit, and it looked comfortable. What I liked about this place is that is just outside the hectic downtown Niantic and accessibility is perfect and has ample parking“
