Was given a choice of upstairs or downstairs. We chose upstairs for the view. Didn't disappoint. Very pretty view. Immediately our waitress Andrea stopped by to drop off water and take our beverage order. We decided on fried shrimp and fries for me and fried clams and onion rings for my husband. The food arrived quickly and once again Andrea made sure we had everything we needed. My shrimp was delicious. Fries were good too. Hubby's clams were good too, as well as the onion rings. Hubby tried a new IPA, I stuck with a diet soda. Wish I could have given 4 1/2 stars. Everything was wonderful. A bit expensive, but would definitely return and do it again! A treat worth paying a little more than usual for us. Thanks for a great meal.

Fair Haven Oyster Co. absolutely lived up to the hype…read more The restaurant is small, intimate, and has a beautiful deck overlooking the water that makes for the perfect date night. The service was outstanding from the moment we arrived - friendly, attentive, and never overbearing. The food was the real star. I ordered the skate wing which came in a buttery piccata-style sauce with capers and a few blistered tomatoes, and it was honestly some of the best fish pI've ever had. It was perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and the sauce was so good I wanted to soak up every last drop. They served it bone-in and de-boned it table-side, which I loved. My husband had the whole fried dorade and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. We finished with the pot de crème, which was everything you want in a dessert - rich, silky, and absolutely delicious. From the setting to the service to every bite of food, this was a perfect meal from start to finish. Highly recommend!

We went to Fair Haven Oyster for my birthday. The service was phenomenal and right on the mark--the…read morestaff was incredibly attentive and always there when we needed a drink. The view from the deck was also excellent, and the cocktails themselves were delicious. A lot of the appetizers were very good. The tuna tartare and the mussel curry were both inspired dishes; the mussels in the sauce had great flavor, though the portion sizes overall felt small. The blistered snap peas with preserved lemon were also delicious. That said, for a place with "oyster" in the name, we expected a wider or higher-quality selection, perhaps including some from Canada, rather than the fairly standard options from CT and MA. Unfortunately, the main dishes missed the mark for us and didn't offer enough food. The sea bass was overcooked. the accompanying lima beans weren't cooked all the way through, and the dish lacked depth of flavor. The shrimp main also fell short, with the shrimp having a very odd, mushy bland flavor. To finish, the pot de crème had so much cream and so little actual chocolate that there was almost no chocolate flavor. On a separate note, navigating the QR code menu was pretty obnoxious. Restaurants should really just offer traditional paper menus; people stare at screens all day and come out to engage with each other, not look at a phone again, and constantly have it on the table. While I appreciate Fair Haven Oyster's creative concepts, their tinned fish with pickled sides, and their great starters, the execution on the mains and the portion sizes left something to be desired, especially at these price points. This was probably our sixth time going to Fairhaven Oyster. We've been going over the past few years and my overall takeaway is that I will definitely return for the drinks, the great atmosphere, and some appetizers, but will not be ordering mains.

When she returned, we still had not made up our minds. So she gave us more time. But then, she disappeared. Finally returned and took our order. I chose the 3 item special-chose scallops, clams and shrimp platter with fries. Hubby chose the clams strips with fries. Portions were generous. I thought the scallops were really good, as well as the shrimp. Clams were ok. Hubby thought they were good, although a bit greasy. I noticed as we were waiting for our food, the waitress mentioned to another customer that the fries could be substituted for the rice. This was unprompted by the customer. So I thought I would have done that if she had mentioned it. Since my order had already been given, I didn't want to make a fuss. But it did bother me. Anyway, the food did taste good. Wish we could have gotten another drink but once again our waitress disappeared. The 4 star is for the food. Service is a 3 star. By the way, there weren't many people at the restaurant at that time. Maybe we visited at a bad time. Will update if we visit again.

It isn't huge inside but they use the space so wisely. The kitchen is open to the bar so you can see and hear all the amazing things happening back there which really adds to the local neighborhood vibe. The bartenders there are very sweet and attentive, they help bring the whole experience there to 5 stars. I came on a Wednesday for the $17.99 lobster roll special and it was easily one of the best I've ever had. It is a quarter pound of lobster and you get actual lumps of claw and meat rather than the shredded stuff some other places serve. The butter it's sautéed in is seasoned delicately to accentuate the fresh lobster instead of covering up the taste. The portion was surprisingly large and it comes on a fresh bun that is lightly buttered and toasted. It even comes with a little cup of extra butter which I totally slathered on because I love butter! Every bite was so fresh and soft. The roll comes with fries and I did the optional $5 upcharge for the lobster bisque. That was also the best I've ever had because I've never seen bisque with such large chunks of lobster in it. It was just crazy good. Everything was well worth the price and I'd honestly come back even on days when it's not a special. They have something going on every night like the $9.99 burger and fries on Mondays, so that will definitely be my next reason to visit. I will be back for sure!

They served us a generous portion of their famous coleslaw which was very tasty so that was a nice addition. The clams came out and looked really good however the shucker needs to be a bit more careful because most of my clams had shell fragments in it. The taste was good but I had to be careful eating them so I didn't swallow shell pieces and that took away from the enjoyment of the clam experience. Maybe the knife was dull. Not sure what happened here but I ate them anyway just on the side of caution. Would try it again because the taste was nice and fresh

I understand that mistakes happen, but it's frustrating when the same item is forgotten over and over again, especially since I visit this restaurant often. Another issue is the portion sizes. For almost $30, I expected a much larger catfish and shrimp platter. The catfish portions were so small that they looked more like chicken tenders than catfish fillets. The manager, Hidi, spoke with us privately about one of the mistakes, which I appreciated. However, after dealing with the same problems repeatedly, I'm disappointed. As a paying customer, I expect better service, accurate orders, and portions that match the price.

When you want high-quality fish that hits the mark every time, this is the definitive New Haven spot. It's a no-frills, reliable establishment that respects the craft of fresh seafood. The fish is consistently fresh and prepared with the kind of precision you only get from a place that's been a staple for decades. It is the perfect anchor for a "two-stop" dinner; the move is to grab your fish here and then head over to Sandra's Next Generation for a Miguel veggie plate. The environment is straightforward, focusing entirely on the quality of the product rather than unnecessary fluff. Pairing a meal from here with the sides from Sandra's is the ultimate local hack. It's an elite combination that delivers the best soul food and seafood experience in the Elm.
