**MY EXPERIENCE** Bristol's energy was palpable as we discovered a hidden treasure—a bustling fish market smack dab by the docks. The salty air was alive with anticipation, each breath a promise of fresh delights. We grabbed a sandwich, and what a revelation it was! The fish hit the spot with such freshness. This local favorite was a culinary masterpiece, lovingly crafted from the very boats that braved the sea for the freshest catches. Watching the fishermen at work , The atmosphere buzzed with life, drawing us deeper into Bristol’s vibrant pulse. It wasn’t just a meal—it was a dive into local life, a snapshot of raw energy that defines this city. Service was good as we ordered and sat outside , this is a small building . We left satisfied and truly in love with this slice of Bristo
I had the baked haddock at Quito’s Restaurant and it was exactly what I wanted. Fresh, flaky, and cooked perfectly without anything overpowering it. We also started with the crab cake appetizer, and that was just as good. Crispy on the outside, packed with crab, and not filler-heavy. Simple, fresh, and honestly just a really solid meal. I’d order both again.
While the food is hit and miss, the view is spectacular. We were seated right on the edge of the patio by the water at sunset and got great pictures. I loved the lobster bisque, but my burger and salad were underwhelming. My wife had the cod with broccoli and it was a lot of food. We took more than half of it home. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive.
Ok, let's start off with my server Lauren. She was at my table immediately after I was sat, got my drink right away. I knew I wanted the lobster roll, I was undecided on what soup or chower to get.. As she returned with my drink, I said which one.... she chimed in right away... lobster bisque... you want a bowl... if you get a cup you will want another.. Just get the bowl... I listened to Lauren and shortly there after, the ridiculous bowl of meat shows up with a light, very flavorful bisque type broth covering the insane amount of lobster meat... a hint of sherry perhaps? Bar none, no other bisque has ever come close to this quality as well as quantity of lobster.... not just random pieces, full claw meat chunks... insanity I tell you. I also ordered the lobster roll with the mayo. Th
Food was excellent! Pan seared cod was good but the clam chowder was my favorite. Staff was friendly.
