About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
Saybrook Fish House is the spot to go to in the area when craving seafood and great wine. The venue uses quality ingredients that really make their dishes standout. The seafood used comes from the New England coast. Saybrook Fish House is open for business seven days a week. It's a great eatery for celebrations and for fun date nights.From the raw bar, diners can dig into jumbo shrimp cocktail and oysters on the half shell. For appetizers, the restaurant offers everything from fried mozzarella and mussels in white wine, to baked mushrooms and crab cakes. Clam lovers must try the fried whole belly clam entrée, which is fried to perfection. Another seafood favorite is the king crab legs served with decadent drawn butter.

    Restaurant was closed for renovations but failed to notify OpenTable. I was allowed to make and modify reservations on OpenTable.

    The very rudest waitress in my entire life. Because you were short staffed does not give you the right to slam our check on the table, ignore a request for bread or drink refill. We were patient to the point where we were screamed at by waitress. The manager was not much better & should consider learning how to deal with insufficient staff. It is not your customers fault. I was told to never book again. I am a 30 yr customer. There are lots of excellent restaurants & this 1 was right up there. Everyone has a bad night & we were very understanding. But hope they were provided guidance by the owner. Word of mouth is powerful

    We have been patrons since they opened in 1982. Always fresh, delicious and creative. Service is outstanding, attentive yet not overbearing. Same excellent value. Entree includes family style salad, vegetables and fruit bowl.

    Great food and value. Ali is a fantastic waitress and makes the nice even more enjoyable. The family salad bowl and fruit basket when you leave are special touches. Food is great broiled or fried.

    Saybrook Fish House always delivers on a great meal. So much to eat we always have leftovers. Love the fruit basket at the end of dinner. Great drinks, no skimping here. Wait staff is very courteous and accommodating. I have been going here for years, and will continue to do so.

    We had not eaten at the restaurant in many years. We wanted Fish and Chips that we remembered enjoying. The restaurant was not crowded when we arrived , but we were seated right on top of s very noisy table.the noise level was such we could barely communicate across our table. That combined with the mediocre fish snd chips ( the fish was not fried enough- was extremely mushy and hard to eat as well as under fried chips.) For the cost of the dinner the quality could have been better add in the noise and the ok service- we will not go back again.
