Best Seafood in area

by JohnPom

Wow what a find. Food is great and service was as well. Seafood fresh and quality is the best we seen in a while. Why go to the shore if you have a place like this local. Was a real treat and after eating other places that were a huge let down. Please try it you will be very surprised.

• Pros: Great Food
• Cons: None

Always fresh...

by firefighter302

Best seafood anywhere the area. Quality products always presented beautifully in the case. Whether you need seafood or prepared side dishes like the seafood stuffed twice baked potato's, crab cakes, lobster bisque or scallops wrapped in bacon, "Close" in the place for you. Not the cheapest game in town, but is that what you want from your fishmonger? Never dissappointed with the freshness and quality !

• Pros: quality is exceptional and the taste is superior to the grocery store.
• Cons: little more costly, but well worth it when you taste the difference.

LOVE their FRESH seafood!

by aubreyc

I just visited Close Harbour Seafood for the first time last Friday & it definitely won't be the last time! My first impression when I walked through the door: a clean and friendly place. The staff were very helpful and very nice--good/speedy service as well (everybody hustles, which is SO nice to see when you're a customer these days)! Since it was warm out, I sat outside on the patio & I felt like I was at the beach! They had an area with tables with umbrellas surrounded by a rope fence with colorful buoys tied to it--it was great to get that carefree, "dinner on the beach" feeling while being inland! They had good music playing and the patio area was all set up and ready for the summer months even though it?s only April. I can't wait for the live music Close Harbour is going to have!! It's definitely a great dinner place. I love the atmosphere and the food was delicious. I had the lobster roll--excellent choice! I can't wait to go back so I can try other items on their menu like their shrimp or stuffed mushrooms! I also want to try their different specials that are offered each day. I highly recommend Close Harbour Seafood for lunch or dinner and have already told several people about it. I will definitely be back there soon!

• Pros: Relaxing, carefree atmosphere
• Cons: Would like to see more plants around the outdoor patio.

Best Shrimp Cocktail I have ever had

by davecala

Close harbour is an amazing place. They offer the personal touch and very fresh fish that you just cant get at the supermarket. They also have some of the best fried and grilled seafood we have ever had. The staff is very friendly and always has cooking ideas for you. The best of all is there cocktail shrimp. I don't know what they do to these shrimp, but they are by far the best we have every found. They claim to cook them fresh serveral times per day. try this Place ! You won't be disapointed......

• Pros: High quality, very fresh product, very friendly
• Cons: Wish they had more seating
