This was my first time visiting Flor Do Mar at Parkville Market. They specialize in Paella and…read moreseafood. It doesn't seem like you should be able to execute paella this good in a Food Hall where people are expecting quick turnaround on their meals, but I thought my Valencia Paella was very good. Per the menu, it had shrimp, clams, octopus, squid, peas and seasoned rice. The clams and different sizes of shrimp were most visible. I especially loved all the baby sized shrimp. The seafood had good texture and everything was well seasoned. People who are hardcore paella purists may say, "yeah, but it didn't have the crispy rice parts that meet the pan (the socarrat)." I wouldn't expect that out of a Food Hall paella place, but if that's what you're looking for, you may need to find a nice sit down Spanish or Portuguese restaurant and wait a while for that to be cooked. 4.5 Stars.

I saw them in front of state house square for years. Today I finally decided to try them out. I had…read morethe sea food platter. Instead of the regular fish fry, I went for the Cajun fish. Cajun fish was good. Clam strips were soft and good. Shrimp was ok. Fries had a lot of oil. Overall the food was oily. But it tasted very good. There is a number of sauces in front of the truck including tartar sauce, ketchup, Frank's hot sauce and relish. There are 5 tables behind this place where public can sit and eat. Those benches were part of Morton's stake house many years ago. You can sit there and enjoy the food.

Like others, I've seen this truck for years. But I resisted for a while with the thought that…read moreseafood from a truck seemed a little...off-putting. Happy to report that my fears were misplaced. This place is a good fish-fry. I got the clam plate and it had a bunch of tasty (and salty and fried) claims with a side of fries. A real good portion for just $10. It was hot and fresh too. Service too was friendly and prompt. About all that you can ask for out of a food truck. Solid.

I went there last night with my family and found the experience to be very average overall. We…read moreordered a variety of dishes, including lobster, oysters, swordfish, a seafood hotpot, and even a regular hamburger, and all of us agreed that the food was just average in taste. The atmosphere, however, was very nice and had a festive, holiday feel. The staff was friendly, including our waiter, Chad. At one point, we considered changing our reservation to another restaurant in West Hartford Center for our party of six. We then learned that cancelling the reservation would result in a $25 per person charge unless it was cancelled at least 24 hours in advance. Based on this policy alone, I would not return to this restaurant. While I understand the reasoning behind it--and recognize that some other restaurants have similar policies--it left a negative impression and was enough to deter me from going back.

City Fish Market has become my absolute go-to for fish and chips. It used to be Johnson Fish…read moreMarket, but this spot has taken the lead for consistency and quality. While it can be a little pricey at times, you get exactly what you pay for--freshness that most "fast" options can't touch. The real advantage here is the ability to kill two birds with one stone. I can grab a high-caliber prepared meal for lunch and pick up my raw seafood in the same trip. While I know spots like Apple Tree and A Dong Supermarket are good, they just don't carry the variety of seafood that I actually eat. City Fish Market fills that gap perfectly with a selection that meets my specific standards. Pro Tip: Call ahead for your order. The lunchtime line can get crazy, and you don't want to be caught waiting when you're just looking to get in and out.

Moist and delicious. My Shrimp was lightly battered seasoned well. Just like I remembered it to be. The Clam Chowder was lack luster. To me it seemed to be pre made from a bag. The broth was on the beige/tan in color. The concept to order cooked food whether it is to go or here you would get in line. Order and wait to be called by number. We opted to stay.

This may be, perhaps, the best Happy Hour I have ever seen anywhere. It's EVERY DAY from 3:30-6. The food item options are huge (20-25) plus three dessert choices. There's are also seven quality mixed drinks, three beers and seven wines! OMG! The bartender recognized me! I haven't been here since January 2025 (1 1/3 years ago). She is even knew where I sat! The menu is unchanged except for a few minor things. For my first drink, I'm having the Max Manhattan made with Old Overholt Rye, Cinzano Sweet Vermouth, orange bitters and orange twist. This has a nice garnish and tastes great! For my first food item, I'm getting a Caesar Salad made with romaine lettuce, garlic croutons and Parmesan cheese. The smell of cheese is quite strong! It's a good portion. This tastes good! Crunchy croutons and tasty lettuce. For my next food item, I'm having a Salmon lettuce cup. Nice presentation! It's on a bed of ice and a lemon to sprinkle. This is quite good! Next up, I'm having a Cup of Clam Chowder. I believe these are house-made croutons. This came out quick! It's nice and hot! Tastes great! Well, with a little hot sauce that is...I like the classic music here. For my next drink, I'm having an Old Fashioned made with Old Forester Bourbon, simple syrup and Angostura bitters. Damn! Nice presentation (the Amarena cherry on the wooden stick) and a great tasting drink! The bartenders are good here! Very attentive! For my next food item, I'm having the Steamed Mussels made with soppressata, capers, shellfish stock, spring herb butter and Pernod butter. I love the focaccia! It is heavily buttered. The mussels are real good! For my next food item, I'm having the Scallops A La Plancha made with mustard spatzle, pea puree, asparagus and mushroom cream. This is good. It's heavy due to the pasta. It's like an entree. To wash this all down, I'm getting a bottle of Pellegrino sparking water. I like this stuff! For my next food item, I'm having four (Buck a Shuck) Cherrystone clams and four Oysters of the Day (only $1.95 each). These are good! I love the cocktail and vinaigrette sauces (with the crushed pink peppercorns). Sprinkle that lemon! For my next drink, I'm having a Happy Hemmy made with rum, grapefruit juice, lime and vanilla extract. What a great drink! Very unique taste! This has kick! For my food item, I'm having the "Baltimore Style" Shrimp Cocktail made with Old Bay Seasoning and stone ground mustard. OMG! The shrimp are big These are great! I love that mustard! For my next good item, I'm having the Blackened Fish Taco made with pineapple salsa and aji verde. I love it! This is easy to eat. For my last appetizer, I'm having the Happy Burger made with lettuce, tomato and cheddar cheese. I miss this badly! This is delicious! It's a well-seasoned burger let me tell you! For dessert, I'm having the Creme Brulee. This is the cutest Creme brulee ever! On a Happy Hour menu?! This is a first anywhere! My favorite dessert! This is great! For my final drink, I'm having the Gin Gimlet made with Greylock Gin, simple syrup and lime juice. This is good! It's light so it's easy to drink at the end of my meal. That's 11 food items I ate and 4 mixed drinks. What a fantastic meal here!

The clam chowder was just as good, thick and loaded with flavor and ingredients in every bite. The grilled octopus with potatoes was a standout -- perfectly tender (not rubbery at all) and packed with flavor. Oysters were fresh, crisp, and just straight up delicious. For the main, the paella was -- rich, loaded with seafood (shrimp, scallops, calamari, mussels, clams), and cooked perfectly. Paired it with a light beer which helped cut through the richness and kept everything balanced. Service was on point and the ambiance made it a great overall experience. Definitely a spot I'd go back to.

Snow crab was nice and sweet. Just a little hard to get out of the shell. Wish we had one of those pic like instruments. It would have made it easier than just the cracker. The mussels were really good and the shrimp were great with the sauce We both went with a Soho special which is their signature sauce and we did two scoops for the heat level. It was perfect. Just a little bit of heat. Not too spicy.
