Reviews for RipTide Restaurant & Bar in West Haven, CT
Great experience for lunch midweek. Very nice relaxed but immaculate decor. Top notch attentive service and delicious... plentiful food. Had the grouper special, so glad to be able to get this fish in the Northeast! Friend had lobster grilledcheese, we each found our food to our liking and took home about half our meals. Great view of small Oyster River beach acrossstreet. Read more
The best part of this meal was the oysters on the half shell delicious and fresh, we then ordered various fried oysters clams... calamari and bay scallops. The fish all tasted fresh and was cooked well The only thing keeping this from being a five-starreview is that the breading while crisp and cooked well was under seasoned as were the French fries. The serving portions werevery generous and I was able to have two nights of leftovers which were actually better than at the restaurant because I wasable to season it myself. Be careful of the wine list as it is constantly changing and ask what they have in stock before youorder off the menu as far as wine goes. Overall a very nice experience and will definitely eat there again Read more
Ate here twice in two days because the fresh oysters are simply delectable! So fresh we actually ate two dozens the second time,... we basically breathed it down. The fish tacos are really good too, and we had to order it again. Love the ladies working here,very attentive and accommodating. IPA Draft beer was also really good. Dine with a gorgeous view of the sea, simply devine. Read more
Great lunchtime views of the water when you sit outside. The seafood tacos were excellent. The burger we order was good but fell... apart and was hard to eat without making a mess. Good serving sizes and the staff is friendly. Read more
Okay here's the good. The wait staff was excellent and very attentive. The restaurant itself was very well done and inviting.... The portions were quite large. The bad, the fries and onion rings are tasteless it's like they don't know what salt is. And theshrimp casserole that was recommended was basically shrimp, breadcrumbs and butter and overly rich but not satisfying. The threestars are for how good the wait staff was but the food wasn't. You won't walk away hungry But you won't be satisfied. So if youjust like a lot of food that's not good I would recommend it. I don't believe I'll be going back. Read more
What a great find!!! Specials today was Buffalo fried oysters for an app and egg plant parm for lunch/dinner. Both were AMAZING!... Right across the street is oyster river beach. Great view and great atmoshere. Bartender/waitress was amazing and attentive. Tipof the hat to the 2 guys in the kitchen and our awsome bartender! Read more
Good menu. Not just your average beach food like a heavily fried clam strip platter. The Ahi Tuna sandwich is delicious. Just... the right amount of Wasabi sauce for that little kick of flavor. Great renovations done since the previous tavern closed. Anoutside patio and another outdoor seating area on the opposite side. Read more
