Really good oysters. Amazing seafood paella. We shared a steak just to get a taste of what might be at Mooo. Everything was good. Nice liquor list too. Tasted whistle pig for the first time here.

I have been coming here for over 20 years. Since meeting my now wife Tina in early 2020, today was the 4th time we've been here. Never once in all that had I/ we sat at the bar. Very cozy atmosphere. Food, as always, was outstanding.

New Bedford

About the restaurant

Serves fresh, bold and innovative food that reflects the history of New Bedford and celebrates the New Bedford fishermen, their catch and their culture.

Menu focuses on local fishermen’s catch of the day, old school seafood favorites and a sprinkling of modern seafood interpretations. Menu ranges from raw bar, to warm and cold lobster rolls, baked cod, bacon wrapped scallops, bouillabaisse and grilled NY Strip.

Large bar and spectacular views of the artful New Bedford Fishing Fleet. Large covered outside deck overlooking the fishing boats and harbor. Centrally located beside the Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Ferries. Large parking lot.

And, of course, the hospitality is second to none. Service is what built the business.

We got a great table with a wonderful view. The waitress was very personable. The food and drink menu was quite adequate. The quality of the seafood was excellent as expected, seeing that we were overlooking the busiest fishing port.

What an absolute treat. Perfectly paced meal from the chilled oysters, fried clams to steak frite. Beautiful ambient whale theme shows a true love for the sea. Off the crowed street the quiet and quaint restaurant had a bustling staff working toward a excellent dining experience. I would suggest an espresso machine to complete the experience.
