Restaurants near Essex Yacht Harbor Marina

We really enjoyed our Valentine dinner here. Everything was superb! Our reservation was a little earlier than I personally like but...🤭when you make it 3 days before V-Day! It ended up being the perfect time. It was not crowded compared to when we finished. We got an appetizer - the fried calamari - it was not heavily coated and the calamari were tender! Warning - if you get this as an app, have more than two people sharing, it is huge! We got one of the specials for Valentine - two stuffed jumbo shrimp and lamb chops. Again, it was huge! We each brought one of the shrimp home for another meal! And I did leave one lamb chop to bring home. Our server, Josh, was great. They did not have the wine I wanted but he checked to see what others they had(we wanted a Malbec)! It was a wonderful evening and definitely on our places to return to!

We went between lunch and dinner and only a few other tables so it was pretty quiet. I’m from out of town and it was my second time- I loved it that much the first time. The lobster bisque is some of the best i’ve ever had! Seafood is so fresh and everytime I’m in town I will visit!

Great food, fair price, great service. Everyone enjoyed their meal

Overall the food was good. However, the crab cake was not as good, to much seasoning and filling less crab meat.

The best crab house around!
