Moby Dick’s Oyster Bar & Grill — Restaurant in West Haven

First time here, we found this hidden gem on vacation and I'm so glad we did. The blue points were completely on point, the crab avocado dip was amazing, the garlic butter oysters were amazing, the lobster roll was one of the best I've ever had and a lobster bisque was the best I have ever had. Let me emphasize the lobster bisque was the best I ever had I live in Ohio and we have a little island called Put-in-Bay off Lake Erie where everybody goes to the boardwalk for lobster bisque we vacationed in main and Massachusetts and let me tell you that's truly was the best lobster best guy I've ever had. The espresso martini was amazing, The old-fashioned was very well done. The owner came over and her nerduced himself and the bartender and waitress Coogan and Courtney we're an absolute delight. Coogan mixtar cocktails to perfection and both were a wealth of information was very social with everyone in the restaurant without missing a beat on service of drinks and food. If you are anywhere near West Haven, Ct or any life state vicinity you should definitely make this if I could just stop I promise you will not regret it. Moby Dick's...

The hype is real.

Tonight I tried Moby Dick’s and yes, all the good things said by people seem to be very true.

If I had to nitpick I would say the fries could have been a little crisper and without as much salt, but I got take out so the first part of that is a little unfair as everyone knows fries need to be eaten immediately no matter where you go.

Regardless, I am happy with my solo meal tonight and look forward to checking...

My daughter and I were hooked after our first meal and frequent the restaurant quite often. Today I decided to stop in for dinner after a rough week . The place is small and almost full when I walked in. I stood at the empty table for what I consider an unreasonable amount of time and not one person acknowledged my presence. Remember, this is a tiny place and there was no way the bartender or waitress could miss me. The bartender and the waitress, Kim, were busy laughing and joking with customers and acted as if I wasn’t there. I had to walk past the waitress to get the other waitress’ attention. I was extremely agitated and made my feelings known. That waitress, Riley, was extremely apologetic, attentive, and made up for what started as a poor dining experience. Thank you Riley for excellent service. Kim, you need some reminding of the importance of...
