Our waitress made us feel completely comfortable we were laughing, having side conversations, and genuinely enjoying ourselves all night. By the end of the evening, she even said, "Goodnight, love you!" and quickly laughed saying she didn't mean to say it. That pretty much summed up the vibe of the night friendly, relaxed, and memorable. The food was excellent from start to finish. I had the Caesar salad appetizer, which was very good, and my sister had the calamari, which she said was excellent. For our entrées, we both ordered the chicken parmesan with alavaca sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. To finish the night, we shared the crème brûlée for dessert, and it was the perfect treat. The portion is definitely big enough for two people, so I wouldn't recommend ordering one per person. The location is beautiful and right by the water true to the restaurant's name. The only small thing to note is the parking. There are two parking lots, and the first one is definitely the better option. The second lot leads closer to the waterfront entrance and can feel a little tight and snug when parking. Overall, we had an amazing time and would absolutely go back. Great food, great atmosphere, and even better service.

Great food, wonderful people, and exceptional hospitality keep us coming back…read more My family and I have dined at Nunzi's By The Water several times over the years, in both the summer and winter, and every visit has been consistently outstanding. The food is always delicious, the atmosphere is welcoming. In fact, our experiences were so positive that when it came time to celebrate my daughter's college graduation, there was no question where we wanted to host the dinner. We chose Nunzi's for a celebration with 20 guests, and they exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Owner Al was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, offering thoughtful menu recommendations and helping us create a memorable experience for our family and friends. Also careful to note any food allergies, and accommodate dietary considerations like gluten free and vegan. While his suggestions were excellent, truthfully, everything we've ordered at Nunzi's over the years has been fabulous. The quality of the food is consistently top-notch, portions are generous, and the pricing is very reasonable for the overall experience. The service deserves special recognition. The staff is attentive, friendly, and efficient, making sure everyone's needs were met without ever feeling intrusive. They also have just the right amount of playful sass and personality to keep you smiling throughout the evening, which adds to the restaurant's charm. Whether you're looking for a family dinner, a girls' night out, a romantic date night, or a venue for a private event or special celebration, I highly recommend Nunzi's By The Water.

Since then it has changed Hands a few times and is now run by three lovely brothers. The food is just amazing. They service delicious New England clam chowder and the best fried clams you can find anywhere in the world. They also have many other Choices of items to eat and enjoy. You CANNOT go wrong with a visit to Bigelows. Go once and you will be back again and again. Just amazing. One of my favorite places to eat. Go now. Go now. Go now.

Let me start by saying this began as a hunt for a lobster roll in the vicinity of a doctors visit…read more I usually reward myself for this drive to Long Island with a trip for a lobster roll... but due to a recent fire the location is closed. Searching Yelp I found this place much closer and figured it was worth a try... upon arrival I parked with ease, was seated immediately and greeted with the disappointment of lobster rolls being a weekend specialty and decided to make lemonade with my lemons by trying a fried clam strip sandwich. I was hesitant as fried food no longer sits well with my stomach.... But if they're known for clams.. clams it is!!! First condiments were brought out... plentiful, separate and the lemon cut properly, fresh and juicy. I'm already happy because so many places are sparse on the tartar and cocktail sauce and I run out before I'm halfway through. Not here! Then the sandwich arrives and I realize I'm eating this with my fingers due to the massive amount of clams! Fried perfectly... not greasy, not heavy. TENDER!!! And delicious!!! Hands down the best clam strips I have ever had, and I instantly forgot that I wanted that lobster roll. I had coleslaw on the side which was perfect, finely shredded and chilled which is my preference. I ate the WHOLE thing.. leaving behind only a portion of bun which was butter toasted and slightly sweet.. also delicious. Highly recommend... also I was informed if I'd like the roll on the weekend I can call ahead to have the lobster fresh steamed and pulled for my roll... but at this point I was in love with the clams! Thank you Bigelows!!

This place is second to none. You might find a seafood spot that's just as good, but you'll be…read morehard-pressed to find one better. My boy and I are there pretty much every Sunday during NFL season, and honestly, we sneak visits in during the week too -- sometimes just us, sometimes with the wives, sometimes grabbing food to bring back home. The vibe is always cool, welcoming, and family-oriented. Jerry, the owner, is cool as hell and treats people right. The whole staff really does. Danielle, Jordan, Jose -- all love. Now let's get to the food. The whiting? Amazing. The catfish? Amazing. The fried lobster? AMAZING. The shrimp? Always on point. The mac and cheese is easily a 4 to 4.5 out of 5. I'll never say somebody's mac is better than my mama's, but theirs is dangerously close. The collard greens are solid too. Me personally, I like my greens with a little more soul seasoning and spice -- a little cayenne kick built in instead of needing hot sauce afterward -- so for me they're about a 3.5 to 4 out of 5. But I can tell they season them in a way that appeals to everybody's palate and lets people adjust it themselves. The salmon soup? ELITE. They sell out of it constantly, so if you want it, get there early. The only thing I'd personally add would be some crushed chili flakes and corn niblets to take it completely over the top. As somebody who cooks and runs a catering business myself, I'm extremely critical about food, so when I say this place meets the bar and raises it, I mean that. Jose is usually back there cooking every time we go, so I joke that they got him chained to the kitchen -- but clearly he knows what he's doing. Jerry and the family taught him well. Now for honesty: The potato salad isn't really my thing. I'd probably give it a 2.5 out of 5 because, again, it feels made to appeal to all palates instead of heavily seasoned-food lovers like me. Same with the cabbage -- but I'm Jamaican, so unless cabbage is Jamaican-style, you're probably not selling me on it anyway . But the important part is this: the foods people ACTUALLY go to a soul food seafood restaurant for? They absolutely nail them. And now they opened a Brooklyn location too. Trust me -- make the trip. Once you go, you're going to keep going back.
