What a beautiful day it was on Sunday! We were eager to visit Costellos in Noank, one of our favorite summer spots. The food is delicious, and the views of the water make you feel like you're on vacation. However, this past Sunday may have been our last visit unless I can find a way to address the issue of wait times for food. It's a bustling restaurant, and it's important to know the wait if you have other commitments. When I inquired, I was told it would be a twenty-minute wait. Sixty minutes later, I found myself at the counter asking about our order. I learned it would be another 20 to 25 minutes because of larger orders. Was I frustrated? Absolutely. Two tired, hungry kids and four (gru...
My husband and I visited Costello's yesterday. After enjoying the lobster rolls at Abbotts last year, we decided to give Costello's a shot. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed. There were maybe half a dozen people there, so it wasn’t very busy for a Saturday afternoon. I ordered the fish and chips, while my husband opted for the whole belly clam plate, and we also ordered some fritters. We found the portions to be on the smaller side, everything was overly greasy, and it wasn't very warm either. Our order had been sitting on the counter for about 10 minutes while our fritters were being prepared. When I realized it was our order, I asked to take it and just wait for the fritters. The v...
My daughter and I were traveling and had a craving for seafood, so we decided to try this place. After placing our order, we looked for a spot to sit. Despite it being a breezy and cool day, we chose to sit on the upper level, and we were rewarded with a stunning view! We waited about 10 minutes at most before our number was called, and we picked up our food. We both ordered the clam strips, and they were absolutely delicious! If I had to find a complaint, it would be that I had to eat pretty quickly in the shaded upper area, as the wind made the food cool off faster. Haha! We both agreed that we would love to return. The girl who took our order was very friendly and helpful, and the views w...
This place is a great seafood shack!! 1 you can't beat the view, right on the marina you get a fresh ocean breeze. There is plenty of seating in the shade or the sun, chairs or picnic tables. 2 The food, delicious!! The tacos had an amazing mango salsa that just freshened up the plate, the scallops were beautifully fried not over cooked. But the onion rings were the surprise. Freshly breaded they were delightful, much better than the fries (which were very basic) 3 the staff was speedy, efficient, helpful, and overall very friendly. 4 priced extremely well for local seafood. Not at all tourist trap pricing. Will definitely return when I am in the area.

We are locals who have been going to Costello's several times every summer for years. We went on a Sunday evening, around 6. It was not crowded and there were plenty of tables available. We waited over 40 minutes for our order of Whole Belly Clams. When we finally got our order, disappointed would be an understatement! The clams were crunchy, as was the Calamari, the fries were not but they were ice cold. Only thing decent was the Cole Slaw. Needless to say, we will not be returning and would highly recommend avoiding this place.
My husband and I were in Mystic for a day in August. We have friends who grew up in Connecticut who told us a traditional dish is fried whole belly clams. This place offered the dish and a beautiful outdoor area to eat. You order at a window and they give you a buzzer. The buzzer lets you know when you should go pick up your food. The place did not sell beer but let us drink our own. The view of the boats at the docks and moorings was fantastic. A great Connecticut memory for us.
The restaurant has beautiful views and a friendly staff. I enjoyed the lobster roll; while it wasn’t exceptional, it was tasty, especially for $24 compared to $32 in Mystic, making it a good deal. The stuffed clams weren't very impressive, but overall, it was satisfactory for a quick meal.
The view is stunning! I was informed that you can see three different states from this location. The sea scallops were exceptional. Although they don’t serve alcohol, it’s a BYOB (bring your own bottle) establishment!

Huge disappointment today eating at Costello 's. We got Lobster Rolls and fried calamari. The fried calamari had a bad oil taste. The Lobster roll was on a sesame hamburger bun. We will not be returning.
I always loved the scallop dinner but laterly when i get maybe 4 big scallops and then the remainder is just batter ends its not worth the price nor the trip there anymore.
