Shell & Bones Oyster Bar & Grill

Consistently excellent. Really great fresh seafood, meats, veg and salads. Very well chosen wine and beer selection. Weekday Happy Hour specials are extraordinary value if you find the regular prices too hot to handle. Excellent food. Great service. Located in a very scenic location with the view of the light house. Excellent staff. Food slightly over priced but worth it as the presentation was good and taste was good. Will go back again for sure.

Best view in New Haven for dining or drinks! Excellent seafood and excellent drinks. Sit at the bar during Happy Hour and chat with the bartenders - they are good conversationalists. Service is also very good - ordered mussels and was given a complete second order on the house because the cooks weren't satisfied with the first order. Enjoy!

Fantastic food and decor. My utmost compliments to the Chef! I had the Salmon and a baked potato. Really tasty Salmon! Thimble Islands draft beer was as good as Guiness Stout.

A beautiful restaurant and bar with one of the best crab cakes I've had so far. Our bartender was so much fun to talk to. He knew when to let our group chat amongst ourselves and when to crack a joke or throw in a topic. I can't for the life of me remember his name but he was delightful. I can't speak for the dinner atmosphere as we went for drinks and appetizers, but it's an overall lovely place.

The food here is amazing. The location right on the dock is perfect. There's a great vibe the moment you walk in the get seated. And it's just amazing to look at. Great drinks. I had the salmon with the veggies let's just say I don't eat mushrooms etc and my plate was empty. Will be going back again. Went in a large group and they were very accommodating. Can't wait to go back.
