Best Seafood in the STATE!!! The lobster Bisque.. incredible, the Calamari Alla Vodka…Next Level, The Scallops MELTED in my mouth with a light flaky flavorful crunch. Clam Strips were the freshest I’ve had outside of Cape Cod

Their staff were welcoming and pleasant.
Our salad was fresh. So were their grilled salmon and grilled scrod. Their sweet tea was refreshing and not too sweet.
My husband described his lunch aa “delicious”!
The dock has pricey boats and beautiful flowers.

Great food and drinks. Gets very busy but staff is still attentive. Dirty buffalo wings were 9/10. A little salty but still very good! Coconut mojito and old fashioned were also very good.

TLDR: Perfect Coastal Gem Before Your Thimble Island Cruise
We had such a wonderful experience at Dockside Restaurant in Branford, this spot is a true hidden gem on the shoreline.
From the moment we arrived, we were seated right away on the outdoor patio, where the view overlooking the marina was absolutely beautiful. The breeze off the water was refreshing, and even though the place was buzzing with regulars and locals (always a good sign), there was enough space between tables that we could relax and enjoy real conversation. The whole setting felt peaceful, coastal, and authentically New England.
The seafood options are outstanding, especially for those of us who prefer our seafood fresh, light, and simply prepared not buried in deep batter and fryers. Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly and tasted so fresh.
My husband had the tuna steak, and it was tender and flavorful.
My in-laws each tried something different: the swordfish steak, and the blackened salmon were both excellent.
My mom and I both had the lobster roll, but I opted for mine served over rice instead of roll, and it was absolutely delicious. Light, satisfying, and full of flavor.
Everything came out hot, fresh, and plated with care. The service was easygoing and kind, without being rushed or too formal..just the way it should be at a shoreline restaurant.
This made for the perfect lunch stop before our Thimble Island cruise, part of our Branford shoreline tour. The food, the views, and the breeze made the day feel extra special.
We’ll definitely be back!

In the past 10 years this restaurant has been up and down in food quality. The last time I was extremely pleasantly surprised best seafood I’ve had in a long time. I had a lobster pie. It was over the top in a couple New England IPA beers, the evening was perfect. We sat on a balcony overlooking the water and the boats picture perfect but I’m glad to see the food has really come around. The people I were with also enjoyed their meal

What a delightful place to enjoy a meal! Six out of the seven people in our group got the lobster roll, and it was a fabulous choice! We also had the fried calamari as an appetizer, and everyone enjoyed that too!
The service was excellent and the food came out fast. We enjoyed our meal on the outdoor patio.

Love trying different places that serve lobster rolls. The entire experience was excellent. Best fried calamari with fresh tasty breading. The lobster was succulent and roll perfect. Fries were also, hot, crispy and great.
Chrissy our server was pleasant and attentive. My new favorite spot for seafood.

The food was good, clam chowder, lobster roll, clam bellies delicious. The menu is mostly fried food. It over looks a boat dock. Reasonable prices, staff was nice. Nice low key casual spot.
