A really nice place with an amazing view and a great atmosphere! The service was friendly and attentive, with a very polite waitress who made our experience even better. The food was absolutely delicious. My friend and I had lunch here — the soup was especially tasty, and the cappuccino was amazing! There’s also plenty of parking space, which is super convenient. Highly recommend for a relaxing meal with a beautiful view.

Shell & Bones Restaurant and Bar offers a fantastic waterfront experience right on the harbor, with beautiful views of the water that immediately set the tone. My wife and I sat at the bar and enjoyed cocktails while taking in the scenery. I ordered the clam chowder, and it was absolutely fantastic—rich, flavorful, and easily one of the highlights of our visit. Even though the restaurant was very busy, the service remained great and genuinely attentive, we also had a great time talking with some of the locals which made the experience even better. This is definitely a place we would go back to for dinner, especially during the peak summer season when the harbor is full of life.

Amazing experience! Waterfront dining with amazing views. Even the night fall and semi hidden moon was romantic. I enjoyed the Best crab cake I’ve had in a while, I also enjoyed the baked ricotta with truffle oil topped with crispy onions and plum tomatoes. Our entrée was a Steamed Lobster and sides, and Farro risotto with jumbo shrimp and bacon with a puree corn sauce..excellent!! Our waiter Bo was a great entertainer, as he used to be the announcer for the Miami heats, so just imagine his personality at the table! Great place for any occasion

Shells & Bones Oysters has a great vibe and a stunning view. The staff, from the receptionist to the waitress, were kind and welcoming. We loved the Oysters Rockefeller—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and a safe, tasty alternative to raw oysters.
Unfortunately, the rest of the food was disappointing: the fish tacos were bland, the burger was heavy and dry, and the crème brûlée was just okay. Overall, the atmosphere and service were wonderful, but the lunch menu fell flat. Next time, we’ll try the larger main menu instead.

Food was excellent. Had scallops and salmon. Scallops were sweet, and cooked perfectly. Salmon was juicy and flaky. Pasa Robles cabernet was fairly priced and delicious. Service this visit, however, disappointing. Our server seemed annoyed from first interaction. My friend was chatty and gently demanding, which I get could be annoying…but she did not smile at all and was short on pleasantries. I love this place, and didnt blink at the pricing, still left 20% gratuity, but would consider another option if I incur service like that again.

The scenery alone is worth the visit. We had the pleasure of dining right next to the water on the veranda, with the scent of the ocean in the air, the soft sounds of waves rocking the yachts, and a golden sunset painting the perfect backdrop. It truly set the tone for a spectacular evening.
The highlight for me was the clam chowder—absolutely fantastic, rich, and full of flavor. The oysters were fresh and beautifully presented, and the service was warm, attentive, and professional throughout the night.
My only critique: the seafood pasta arrived a bit cold, which affected the flavor and texture. Still enjoyable, but not at the same level as the other dishes.
Overall, Shell & Bones is a trendy, lively spot with great seafood, a vibrant atmosphere, and unforgettable views. I’d definitely come back for the experience—and for more chowder and oysters!

I had a business dinner on 1/22/26 @ Shell & Bones, New Haven that was absolutely perfect! The service was top notch (thank you, Steve) and the food was delicious. My company was very pleased. The manager on duty that night came over a few times to check in with me to how things were going which was very helpful. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

This is one of the best all-around seafood restaurants in the region. The menu is just expansive enough, and everything is prepared with perfection, consistently. The service is attentive without being overbearing, and the waterfront location is downright idyllic. You’ll think I’m exaggerating; I’m not.

I recently celebrated my 40th birthday at Shell & Bones in New Haven, and the experience was absolutely exceptional. Though my reservation was for 6:30pm, the staff graciously accommodated me earlier without any hassle. I was seated outdoors, right by the water — the view was stunning, and the weather was perfect, making for an unforgettable evening.
From the moment I arrived, the hospitality stood out. The front door staff were incredibly welcoming, warm, and courteous, setting a great tone for the night. Our server, Tommy, was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right throughout the meal.
The food? Incredible. From start to finish, every dish was delicious, and the dessert was the perfect way to end the meal. The combination of excellent customer service, a beautiful setting, and top-tier cuisine made this a night to remember.
Shell & Bones is a beautiful place and the perfect spot to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a night out. Highly recommend, and I absolutely can’t wait to return!

Didn’t like the salad greens. It was that stuff that looks like it came from weed hacking the weed patch. Other than that , my lobster roll and my wife’s linguine and clams were top shelf. Great service. Prices were high but you expect that at a yacht club.
