    Great dinner & atmosphere! Always great service. For some reason through Open Table we've had trouble the last 2 times after getting confirmation, but they've made sure we were taken care of regardless. Thank you!!!

    Had the Bang Bang shrimp tacos and fried flounder plate. Both were properly done and the onion rings were excellent as were the fries. We eat there 2-3 times a month for the well priced lunch specials.

    First time dining here and was very impressed with the service, especially in these post-covid days. The staff was bustling to provide the very best to every diner. No one was kept waiting for anything. Our waitress was great, very personable and provided great menu recommendations when asked. Our drinks came promptly, and our food came out fast and, best of all, piping hot! The food was well-prepared, very fresh and tasty. No complaints at all.

    Food was good, as usual. Table for 2 was inadequate. Not enough room for two with food, bread plate, bucket for lobster shells, glasses, etc. we the corn bread was delicious but the other bread, still in the oven, never appeared. Told the women about our concerns but they were never addressed. Will return but probably not for dinner.

    Close Harbor is located in Southington, CT quite far from Long Island Sound but the Seafood is excellent. They have indoor and outdoor dining with great service and reasonable prices for fresh seafood. We have tried the seafood pie, jambalaya, flounder and sea scallops. The meals and service have always been good and consistent.

    The food was amazing! The drinks were priced super fairly and the food portions are huge. I think everyone had something to take home with. The owner was so nice and the restaurant was so clean. The dinner special was grilled salmon over Dijonaise orzo with onions and bacon and it was fantastic.

    Very Crowded on the Friday eve we dined there, which probably explains the very slow service - our waitress seemed a little overwhelmed by her multiple tables, so I don't particularly blame her for the slow service. Food was good, no complaints there. I'd go back but not on a Friday night!

    Great fresh seafood. Nice menu with something for everyone. Had the raw oysters lobster bisque and swordfish tacos. All delicious. Good assortment of drinks beer and wine. Nice outdoor area for dinning. I’ve been here in the past when it was primarily a seafood store. I has changed dramatically and is now a great restaurant and bar. They still have a seafood counter if your looking to take some home

    We ate in the Dining Room. It was so cold from the air conditioning that we didn’t finish our meal. We asked to pack it up to go. We only saw our waitress Once and then when we asked for the check. She had way too many tables to be effective. Used to love coming here but this experience was less than adequate and we won’t be back. The very pretty hostess was the most efficient and organized person we ever met. Our Order was wrong. She not only had it fixed very quickly but followed up to make sure we were satisfied . Petite, very pretty young lady with dark hair. The other young lady outside who showed us to our table really has zero personality and should NOT be the first person you interact with on arrival!

    We enjoyed a delicious sampler appetizer which included clam casino, oyster, shrimp cocktail, and calamari. It was cooked perfectly. We each enjoyed the pick 3 seafood combo which came with coleslaw and a choice of potato or salad side. The breading was light and crispy, which let the taste of the fresh seafood shine. Our seafood selection was a generous portion. This is a must try seafood restaurant.

    We had reservations but had to wait a bit still even though many tables were vacant outside. The food was mediocre at best. The calamari appetizer was greasy and just warm. I ordered the seafood pie which was the contents in an over floured bland sauce with a stale puff pastry placed on top, Two of us at the table ordered this. My friend who ordered the tuna bowl was satisfied and thought her meal was good . I am now nclined to return

    I would definitely go back again. I think the 3 $ rating is not accurate. I think it should be more like 2 $ based on the menu prices. They seen quite fair. Our waitress was very attentive to our needs and very helpful explaining various items on the menu. When you drive up to the building it doesn't look like much but looks are deceiving.

    We had the most delicious seafood meal on Good Friday. The fish and chips were excellent, crispy on the outside of the fish very moist inside great value for the price. The batter was excellent on the fried fish combo the rest of us ordered....light & crispy which inhanced the flavor of the seafood. We had an excellent waitress friendly & attentive. I would recommend a visit for great seafood.
