Fairhaven Oyster Co.!

Resurgemus t1_jd53xqb wrote on March 21, 2023 at 10:06 PM

Yes. Or Shell and Bones. Do not fall for Florian which seems so conveniently located downtown. They use poor quality ingredients. Don't let the decor fool you. Trash.

I hate to be a dick but shell and bones missed the mark both times we went. I wanted to like it so much. First time the pasta I got was so overdone it was mush. Then we went with husbands family. Was meh.

ETA grammar

I've had more bad meals than good at shell and bones

Right? My time to eat nice is limited, so it was a huge disappointment. We stick to Ralph n riches in bpt. Never had a bad meal and got engaged there 🖤

Ugh. Don’t like that place at all.

Fair Haven Oyster is much better.

Nooooooooooo! I haven't been in some time. I hate hearing this news though I do appreciate it.

gregbrainard1 t1_jd5klge wrote on March 22, 2023 at 12:02 AM

I agree. Shell and bones (and the rest of their restaurants) has great ambiance, but their food should be much better, especially considering how expensive it is

Independent-Hawk-699 t1_jd6h3cp wrote on March 22, 2023 at 4:22 AM

Agreed. So expensive and so inconsistent and underwhelming.

How is it? Tavern on State is good but that spot on Front Street has had a lot of turnover.

oenotherah t1_jd5ag5i wrote on March 21, 2023 at 10:51 PM

It's fantastic! I went in the Fall. There is really nice seating along the deck and also inside. The food was fantastic, really well executed very much a high end farm/sea to table!

Good to hear, I hope they do well!

It’s excellent. Wouldn’t expect much less from Emily and her team.

I’ve been very impressed by what she’s done with Tavern and provisions. Always good to see small businesses do well!

Tavern on State

lolaya t1_jd60qnk wrote on March 22, 2023 at 2:01 AM

Definitely a lot more expensive than sherkaan

handydoody t1_jd5ohw4 wrote on March 22, 2023 at 12:30 AM

Tavern on state is our favorite restaurant! Camacho garage is a fun atmosphere and the food is good. Adriana’s is delicious and classic New Haven

This is such a good list.

Shell and bones, enjoy the sunset!

Resurgemus t1_jd540f9 wrote on March 21, 2023 at 10:07 PM

This would be my first choice.

I’m a sucker for their steak frites.

I’m too late, but these always impress guests: The Luke, Rockfish, Nolo, Tavern on State, Fair Haven Oyster, Camacho, Hachiroku.

lol I just looked up tavern on state bc a bunch of people recommended it…. That was the most pretentious menu I have ever seen. And I’ve watched top chef since S1. Did they just throw a cat at the keyboard?
