The views were gorgeous and peaceful, the restaurant was adorable, and the food was absolutely incredible. We had the lobster roll and clam chowder for lunch and it was some of the best food I’ve ever had. There are tons of outdoor seating along the bay and plenty of parking when we went. Put this place on your list for sure! I lost my ID there and the staff mailed it back to me. Who does that? The kind of people that work at Sea View Snack Bar do!

Great stop at the Sea View for lunch. We had the lobster BLT, scallop roll, scallop dinner and Calimari dinner. The fried items were lightly fried. Everything tasted excellent. Beautiful view. Happy to come back!

Fair on all accounts. Although the photo looks like a lot of lobster in the lobster BLT, it was truly a small amount. Pricey for what you get with 2 tiny slivers of bacon. Flavorful small bun well flavored with buttery crust. The clam fritters were inexpensive and not something any of the four of us would ever get again. All breading with almost no clams in them. We all wanted the clam dinner, but couldn’t handle paying the high prices they wanted. Onion rings as an upcharge as a side was also disappointing as they were thin rings with bland breading. None of us were impressed with the meals due to the prices. The view was nice, but the wasps and bees were constantly flying around the condiments area.

Best lobster roll I’ve ever had. First time on the east coast so this place did not disappoint! Come for the fantastic harbor views and the freshest tasting food. Bread was perfectly buttered, and I loved that the lobster itself was marinated in their specialty sauce. I hate when lobster rolls are dry or they skimp on the meat. Not this place! Overall 10/10 experience!

We ordered the lobster roll and 3 orders of fish (flounder) and chips. The lobster roll was fabulous! The bun was lightly buttered and toasted and the lobster salad had big chunks of claw and tail meat. The fish and chips was also very good. The fries were plentiful and hot, but a bit bland. The view is beautiful a a the atmosphere is fun and family-friendly. Service was quick! We are definitely glad we stopped!

Whenever I come to Mystic, I always stop here. We’ve been coming since was a kid, and the food has never changed. They have the same menu as they did before, and for a very good reason. Their food is amazing, and has a great taste. We absolutely LOVE their clam chowder. It has a great taste and it is just perfect! My wife loved the shrimp and it has a great view of the water. Weather you go during the day or at night, you’ll have a nice view. The benches outside are perfect to sit back and enjoy your food. They have a very large menu with many things to choose from. We love stopping here, and will do it again next time we’re around!

I stopped at this place as I was driving past last month. So glad I did. Fried whole belly clams were perfect. Sweet, and not too greasy. Can’t speak for the rest of the menu, but can definitely recommend the clams. Outdoor seating with a nice view, too.

First time here, but I get the mixed reviews now. The lobster roll was a decent size; the meat was thick and juicy, but as for the flavor, it lacked. There was a slight taste of dill, mayo and celery, but that was about it. It needed some more seasoning. A little more salt, pepper, a spritz of lemon and maybe some butter. The fries were good; crispy outside and soft inside. The coleslaw was good as well. The calamari and crab cakes were okay. Basic fried calamari and crab cakes, but they didn’t taste burnt or like it was fried in old oil. Overall it was edible and the portions were good. As for the atmosphere and service, I have no complaints. Great views and good service. I’d go back again.

Food was good. We had a clam roll sandwich, clam chowder and a lobster roll sandwich. Bread was toasted and buttery. Lobster roll had a touch of dill, not my favorite but still very good. Clam roll was in a toasted and buttered roll with a nice crunch to the clams.
