I thought the food and service was excellent. Plus - Blue Moon on tap! Yum Starters - Mussels to share. We ordered the Lobster Bisque, which indeed had big chunks of lobster and the broth was to die for. We also ordered the Thai Curry, which I thought was only ok. As for Entrees, we shared... Lobster Ravioli - Wish it had a little bit more filling. Shrimp and Chicken Fettuccine - Tasty, but very filling. Linguine with White Clams - Probably the best I had ever had. Pasta was al dente and clams were perfectly cooked. My favorite dish! Dessert - Very impress with the Strawberry Shortcake. Not too sweet and had tons of strawberries and to top it off it had a chocolate covered strawberry on top. The only negative was the cooling system...it was freezing then it was hot...it was freezing then it was hot. read more

I came here today with my husband and baby (see his review -Winston W.). Totally ruined mother's day for me. They gave our entree to another table. We ordered another one that never came. By the way, the women's restroom was horrible. One toilet was about to overflow. The trash was overflowing too. Paper towels everywhere. Clearly they cannot handle huge crowds. I came with a baby and we sat more than a hour and a half after ordering with no main course in sight. And no one seemed to care. read more

Came for a friends birthday and we ordered a whole bunch of stuff to share. Appetizers were mediocre: calamari, saganaki, order of french fries and clams. Entrees we had the fish and chips, a couple of different mussels, seafood paella and the skirt steak. The fish and chips was probably the best dish out of everything. If you're in the area you can check it out but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. I'd rather go into the city for better paella & mussels! read more

Mussels & More - Maine Mussels: lobster, smoked bacon, chowder, parsley - Seafood Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I really underestimated this place. The menu in the restaurant seems to be more appealing and have more choices then the menu online. I ordered the shrimp scampi with linguine and although the sauce seemed heavy and creamy, it turned out to be really good. I would definitely order again. We also ordered the thin crust pizza with sausage, they did skimp a little on the toppings but overall it was good. Grilled octopus was also really good and cooked perfectly. I'd come back for sure. read more

Been here twice in two weeks and ordered the same three items. All three hit the spot. Linguini with clam sauce (loaded with clams). Sweet potato fries were awesome (awesome). Mussels Bisque (dip the bread into the broth). read more

Came here for lunch and overall it was okay. Steak had good taste, mussels were not fresh, clam linguine seemed to be quickly put together and oysters were decent. Simply was too expensive for the quality. With a place that has mussels in its name, i was extremely disappointed. The mussels were very obviously old and small. The steak was tasty but it was underwhelming for 30$. Not a horrible experience, but definitely not worth the 100$ i dropped on the meal. read more

I came here for Easter dinner. For an appetizer we had mussels in the Lobster Bisque broth and baked clams. I thought both were very good. Everyone sopped up the bisque sauce with the bread....it was so good. I had seafood paella for my entree. It was ok. I am used to getting Paella in Newark's Ironbound, so this was a bit of a different experience. While the portion was good, I enjoy authentic Paella from the Ironbound better. My son had a cheesesteak sandwich with fries. It was a nice option if you weren't in the mood for seafood. Service was ok. We actually had better service from a waiter that was covering one of the other tables. He was very personable and kept on top of the needs of our table as well as the other tables. read more

Dined in here a few times, and I've always enjoyed the mussels. I hardly ever enjoyed the "more" part. My favorite mussels are "Bisque" and "Maine". The seafood pasta dishes aren't bad but I really did not enjoy the branzino or the crab cakes. Both tasted really fishy and not fresh. I wish they had better bread to dip in the mussel broth. It's usually kind of stale. They have outdoor seating which is rare in that area. read more

I really like the atmosphere! Out door seating is a huge plus when it is nice weather! Fairly priced drinks! It was definitely the waitress first time EVER being a waitress, but she was really trying hard and gets an A for effort. Food was average, nothing special. Bathroom was really really weird!!!! read more

I'm glad that Mussels and More has replaced Canteena. The atmosphere is much classier and the food is fantastic. The wait staff is pleasant and helpful---I never felt neglected. The food was fresh and cooked to perfection. I had both the classic and South Asian. Compliments to the chef! Will definitely return--glad to have a great seafood place in the area. P.S. Try the Chocolate Truffle Cake...OUT of this world. read more

I called in an order for delivery, but the delivery person was gone for the day so they used a car service to send the food over. Pretty amazing considering 99% of local restaurants would have just hung up the phone. I was dumbfounded that they actually understand the value of a customer. The food was good but no doubt 5 stars for service. Thank you again to the closing team on 5/10/17 you guys made my day. read more

5 stars because the food is a step up from a typical seafood restaurant. Every dish is done exceptional well. We ordered the grilled octopus, seafood paella, and linguini with white clam sauce. We noticed many people ordered the grilled octopus so we gave it a try. Different from your conventional fried calamari, as you bite into the grilled octopus you'll notice the distinct grilled/charred flavor. Easy to say this is probably the best appetizer on the menu. Next came the seafood paella. It was rice mixed with a variety of vegetables and chorizo with seafood infused flavors. It has the perfect amount of saltiness which comes from the seafood its cooked with. You will certainly enjoy it. Lastly the linguini came with several large clams filled with garlic. Each forkful of pasta will be accompanied with smaller clams and bits of garlic that was scattered around the dish. Generally, a wine sauce can get soupy if too much is used but this sauce had the perfect balance of flavor and consistency. When you first step in to this establishment, you will immediately notice it's one of those fancier restaurants. The setting is a simple and cozy restaurant that isn't overrun by nautical themed décor. It may look a little small but there is more seating in the back for larger parties. Awesome place for small reunions or get-togethers. read more

2nd time there and I have loved it both time. Muscles and lobster bisque is the best!! Cajun shrimp and chicken over fettuccine was the perfect amount of spice to go with a glass of Malbec! read more

Mussels & More - Bisque - Seafood Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This spot is a 3.5 star spot. It's overall consistent, one of the better seafood restaurants in Bay Ridge. It will hit the spot, if you're looking to sit outside with a beer and a bucket of mussels. It's pretty fresh, has good flavors but it's not gourmet. I come often so it's average but decent. Order the mussels ! read more

I came here for dinner on Friday night with my sister and mom. We found parking right away, were seated very quickly. After the waiter took our drink order the owner himself came over making sure we were being helped, he also gave us some great suggestions for the 3 of us to share. To start we order the mussel bisque, the mussels lobster and tomatoes which I normally don't eat were fantastic. Then we ordered the angel hair seafood pasta for sides we got the zucchini which was grilled to perfection and spinach. We couldn't stop there had to try the desserts. We ordered the strawberry shortcake and brownie, the shortcake was amazing the brownie was not so great which has nothing to do with the restaurant on the menu it says gluten free, we were not paying attention and ordered it anyway. So for those who are not gluten free like us probably won't be for you, still was good for being gluten free. My only complaint was the fact the mens and women's bathroom are connected and the ceiling is opened between the two, pretty disgusting if you ask me. Thats the only reason they are getting 4 stars because the food on its own would get 5. read more

I usually go to Flex mussels, located in the city, to cure my mussels cravings but now I don't have to trek all the way there! We ordered thai mussels, red snapper, oysters, and their fish and chips. The oysters were very fresh and there seafood was cooked perfectly. I wish they expanded their desert menu but other than that the dinner that I had there was very good. Service was quick and efficient. I would recommend anyone to try this place out if they love mussels and seafood. read more

Even though there is a dining room in back, and a communal table in the center of the bar; but I always seem to eat at the bar, and enjoy it. As far as I know, it's the exact same menu. Always a good selection of oysters, and a variety of mussels (both of which I try to have every visit). Try the calamari, too. I like the fish & chips, which is prepared standard pub style. The bread is warm and tasty and perfect for sopping-up the mussel broth. Portions tend to be modest, but not skimpy. I have been a number of times and will return. read more

Finally, I had to try it for myself. I have heard good and bad things, but it doesn't stop me from trying! I pretty much ordered safe past Friday night. Meaning I order the typical dishes. I wasn't being adventurous that night. First off....it was a bit odd that the bar area was in front and had to walk through the bar to the dining area. I was pretty stunned when I walked in with my party that everyone at the bar was just staring at us. It was an open kitchen restaurant, which I give them credit for working in that environment. We ordered the Appetizers: Classic Mussels a dozen Raw Little Neck Clams Fried Calamari For Entrees: Fettuccine Seafood Fra Diablo Fried Jumbo Shrimp Beef Sliders with Mussel fries Cheeseburger with Mussel fries I ordered a glass of Rose, I was pretty disappointed. There was no hint of sweetness in that wine. I am a wine drinker, I love my blush wine but didn't love that one, sadly. Then I was surprised they have Twisted Tea on the menu. So I order that. My party and I have no complaints on the food we ordered. I have to say, my Fettuccine Seafood Fra Diablo was delicious! You can taste the freshness on the Little Neck Clams. The Classic Mussels was a huge portion and also the mussels were large. The Calamari was crispy. Everyone in my party enjoyed their dishes. Now about the service, I must say I had a good meal and good service. Which is kind of rare for me when dining in restaurants. Our server name was Ji, he was really attentive to us. Besides him, I notice all the servers check up on all the tables. They are not fixated only on their own table. I like that in a waitstaff, they help each other out. Overall, I will go again and be adventurous. read more

Went last night for dinner, 7/9/12. Ordered the Maine lobster mussels. There were ZERO, not a single piece of lobster in the dish. I have ordered it before, and it was filled with lobster. They must have run out in the kitchen, and just decided not to tell customers that ordered it. It was BS and they shouldnt have done that. Had a bad experience, hopefully it wont happen again. The mussels were still very good. I will give them another shot, but if it happens again they will be dead to me. Update: When I wrote the post above, I was pissed off so I gave them one star. They effed up, but I have been back maybe 5 times since then, and every time it has been excellent. I am putting them back to 4 stars. read more

15 minute in: where's the food? 30 minutes in: where's the food? 35 minutes in: here's more stale bread 45 minutes in: where's the food? 60 minutes in: where's the food? Signal the waiter. Don't worry it's coming. Food finally arrives Lobster is over cooked and rubbery. Weak. For a place with mussels in the name, there's absolutely nothing special about these. I hope the rest of the food was worth the wait. Fun observation: the waiters don't wash their hands after having them wrist deep in dirty dishes. Paella is underseasoned, so disappointed, I really wanted to like it. Penne vodka, really good, didn't expect that. Lobster ravioli, eh, skip it. Better options to get. Like the penne. Side note - the bathroom is tiny, fear the number 2. Wouldn't recommend this place unless the meal is free. Money and time better spent anywhere else. read more

This place rocks. I love their food. The raw oysters are amazing. I've had every mussel pot and it is so yummy. We always get great service. I just love this place. My 13 year old had the pick of anywhere to eat for her birthday and she chose this place. She swears it's the best lobster roll and baked clams hands down. My husband and I also love this place for date nights . The desserts - four people minimum to eat. read more

Pasta was pretty good. Crab cake was the type you buy in the frozen isle. Oysters were fresh, as well as the clams. Shrimp tacos were mediocre at best, and shrimp was over cooked and scarce. Now the mussels, you would think would be pretty good at least. Nope. Terrible. Overcooked and the broths flavorless. Go elsewhere. read more

After weeks of strolling past Mussels & More and admiring the decent size bar and outdoor seating, my sister treated me here during her visit to Brooklyn. For an appetizer, we ordered the crab cakes, which tasted more "natural" than all other crab cakes that I have had, meaning they were stuffed full of crab, breaded, but not greasy. My sister had the pesto mussels, and I had the bruschetta mussels with lobster. OH MY WORD...these dishes were delicious. I would go back and order the exact same thing. We went for lunch, so it was empty, but I walk past here a lot and it always seems pretty busy happy hour and later. The bar, which is separate from the dining room is big, with what looks like nice amount of beers on tap. The outdoor area is right out on the sidewalk is also really nice, and seems to be the perfect place to sit on warm summer nights, eating mussels and catching all the activity on 5th Ave. read more

they have a pretty large menu for mussels. we had the mushroom one and their original. the original was better but excited to try others! thank god it came with warm crusty bread for dipping (olive bread, i believe) their paella is delicious! wish it had clams in it, but mussels will do. their fish and chips are good too! bar in front, seating area in back. nice vibe and friendly service. price is reasonable! read more

Recently did an event here (a lunch) for about 30 people. The service was outstanding and the food was great. Management was very accommodating and responsive, which made the event stress-free for me. The ability to have a private space was also a really great feature. Would recommend without hesitation. read more

This is a restaurant that you want to go back to because it has the perfect balance of everything. I'm not a fan of mussels, but this place has so much to offer on their menu that it never worries me! So when you walk in, it's the bar area, but hidden behind the wall and through a small hallway is a larger dining space; it's dimly lit so it gives off a quiet ambiance. If you don't know what to order, I would recommend the scallops with risotto or their crab cakes, they're pretty good. As for mussels, my friends were raving about the dijon one so you might like it too. I would say that for the selection on their menu, they do a pretty good job of making sure everything on their menu is good. I think this place is worth a stop-in AND they take reservations! read more

Desperate to find a venue that supported a large party of 8 for a make up Thanksgiving dinner on a saturday night, our family is spread out over Queens, Manhattan, and Brooklyn, and last night was a wonderful family reunion for us. First up the service, top notch, attentive, considerate, wasn't phased by the 2 kids, something I highly appreciated. The wait was not bad at all and there is plenty of space in the restaurant. The large bar area in the entrance room was nice an cozy and the early christmas declarations was warm and welcoming, my brother in law was able to snap some beautiful pictures with the whole family near the candle lit pseudo christmas tree. The bar area was a good place to catch a game or just sit, it was family friendly and clean. There were tables in that area where diners can sit at a 6 person table without a long wait. The indoor room was a cozy dining room with small, medium, and large tables. We saw many couples having dinner there and the lighting was very intimate. Our large table had just the right amount of space to chow down on some seafood. We ordered the Lobster Bisque Mussels and the Maine Lobster Mussels which should feed 4 people. The Bisque was a rich, herby and flavorful broth that works into the mussels very nicely, the broth is so rich that it would be great to dip into bread or mix with pasta. The Maine Lobster had nice pieces of lobster chunks inside and the broth was milder but unique and velvety. We ordered a dozen raw clams and it was fresh and had a nice meaty texture, much fresher than raw clams I've had in the past. The dozen raw oysters were larger blue points and nice. The half rack of ribs just fell off the bone and was done perfectly. All in all, quality service and a great experience, highly recommended. read more

We were seared in the back dining area. Pretty busy for a Thursday night. Service was average but the menu was impressive. They offered a nice selection of mussels and more! There's pasta, meat, fish and many appetizers to choose from. We had the mussels in white wine sauce. Very simple and nice. The pork chops were thick and juicy. Seasoned to perfection. The linguini with white clam sauce was also spot on. Service was average but acceptable since it was so busy. Would definitely be back to try other things. read more

My husband and I recently dined at the location again and the meal was okay. The mussels were small and the lobster ravioli tasted as if it came out of a box. I'm won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Seriously I'm amazed by the delicious food served here. I wasn't expecting much when I came here on a Sunday for brunch. They were playing the football game so we decided to waltz in. The menu was expansive, the staff was friendly and attentive. Ordered the dijon mussels, pizza, and penne pesto shrimp pasta. I was hoping the food was average at best. After all, it was empty, I've never been here, and on an empty block. The mussels were outstanding. Tangy broth, but not too mustard-like. I was dipping the bread in it and pretty much drinking the broth like soup. It tasted phenomenal. I wish the portion was a bit larger for the mussels, I definetly could have ate two orders of this. The pizza was great. We ordered it with onions, and the marinara sauce on it was sweet. The crust was thin & crunchy. Perfectly sized for two people to share. Now the PASTA, holy.....it was simply OUTSTANDING. It was penne pesto with shrimp. The pesto was CREAMY, with lots of garlic bits, amazing with the parm cheese. The pasta was cooked perfectly and soft, there was A LOT of shrimp. But seriously the best pesto I've ever had. Absolutely delicious. Not too greasy like most pesto. CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK HERE. read more

Came here for bf's birthday dinner and the food was just eh. I ordered the bruscetta mussels. This broth came with lobster meat that was so over cooked that the lobster tasted really dry and nasty. The meat inside the mussels were about the size of a penny, not exaggerating; it was also very bland. The soup broth was flavorful though.The seafood paella included bland calamari, shrimp and mussels with soggy rice that wasn't good. The only things I enjoyed here was the fried zucchinis and fried calamari. I doubt i'd come back here again. read more

I totally loved this place! I went with my bf to have lunch for our 1 mont anniversary and we had a really good time. He ordered the "grilled octopus" which was great and I ordered the "grilled salmon" that came with roasted lemon potatoes and delicious veggies (broccoli, zucchini and carrots). The salmon was incredibly it tasted so good!! We're def coming back. The average price for a plate is like $18. Which I believe is good if we look at the area, lol idk I just love bay ridge. read more

I've been to Mussels & More a couple of times after my initial terrible experience. Let me start off by saying the service is hit or miss. Depending on how busy it is, I've had instances where I waited 15-20 minutes just to get menus. If you can look past this or come during off-peak hours, you're in for a treat. For mussels, my gf and I always get the bisque. The pot of mussels arrive at the table swimming in a pool of creamy lobster goodness. At the bottom of the pot, you'll find chunks of lobster that will cause fork duels on who gets the last piece. For pasta, I'd recommend the penne a la vodka. The seasoning and consistency of the sauce is just right and not overwhelmingly creamy. Again, the service could be better but it's hard to not come back when the food is so good. read more

Disclaimer: This review starts out bad and gets good The first time I went I sat outside and the waitress didn't seem to understand the menu, didn't understand the question when we asked where the oysters and clams were from, brought the food in the wrong order (side of fries with appetizer), and forgot to ever bring me one of the beers I ordered. Everything took forever to come out and she never really stopped by our table (so I was unable to even politely remind her about the beer). However, when the mussels came they were very good for the price, although not mind blowing. (I just got the regular mussels in white wine sauce and my wife had fra diavlo.) The second time we went we sat inside, which had a decidedly different atmosphere - maybe they just have the bar waitresses tending to the customers outside and they were overwhelmed or under prepared. Maybe it was just an off day. The dining room is really nice and the service was much better. This time I got the mussels with clams and bacon, which was fantastic and my wife got the mussels with shrimp and pesto, which was even better. My advice - eat inside, try one of the more interesting mussel combos on the menu, and whatever you do, do not get the mac and cheese. It is awful. Also - there is one unisex bathroom with like, six stalls. It is very strange. read more

We had a delicious meal here. Just because they specialize in mussels doesn't mean other proteins get shortchanged. The skirt steak was over a foot long, perfectly grilled with a salty/sweet glaze. Grilled octopus was meltingly tender & charred to perfection. The mussels are carefully cleaned, and the portion is enough for an entree or as a shared appetizer. Yes, the domed serving tureen is larger than what it contains, that is normal. Americans have to stop expecting everything 'super sized'! The pizza's are appetizer size -just right for sharing at the bar up front. But they make a great starter to dinner in the spacious brick walled back room. Chocolate truffle cake was luscious. A cheese plate would make more sense than the yogurt w/ cashews & honey as a dessert option.... Oenophiles will find smart choices on the wine list at reasonable prices. read more

One of my favorite restaurants for dinner if I want to stay local, but get seafood and carbs. Their mussel pots are pretty much a staple, I always get the Maine one, because I think the soup base is so good. It has chunks and bits of lobster, and bacon and a hefty amount of mussels. They do use small mussels and not the fat ones, but still really good. Get bread on the side, because you will find yourself eating the bread with the soup. I have also tried a few different pastas, the Cajun Chicken and Shrimp is by far my favorite so far. I got the seafood linguini this time, it was okay, but could be more flavorful. But they give a generous amount of seafood in their pastas and these entrees are recommended for sharing. They give enough for a party of 2. I got the beer battered fried clams as an entree, because I wanted to get something new. The batter was way too overwhelming and just too much. I ended up just breaking it apart and eating the clam inside because it was just too greasy to eat the whole thing. They have a bar seating area in the front and a back restaurant seating area, service has always been decent, waters are refilled! Great restaurant in the area and parking is super easy to find. read more

I was looking for food at Bay Ridge area, so I searched Yelp and found this place, seem like everyone like the food but some complaint about the service, so I decided to give it a try. start off with nice clean place, the waitess, not much smile but friendly, the wine list, not really have any good wine, but everything gets better. first, the oysters (blue point) very fresh, little neck clams also good. the thin crust pizza was ok, love the greek style gill octopus. then come to the main dshes, mussels in lobster bisque are great, i can drink the sauce as soup. rack of rib fall off the bones and finger licking good. Penne Volka just the right balance of creamy/tomato and no over cook pasta. over all, very please for this dining experience, i will go back for more mussels. read more
