Exactly What You are looking For 1/9/2012

We live far from Bleeker Street and that I guess its well worth the lengthy travel completely towards the Mussel Pot. It had been my mommy’s birthday and that she swears that we are honoring it on a sea-food restaurant. His office-mate was the one that told him to try out this restaurant. The majority of us in the family love sea-food dishes, for this reason we instantly love the restaurant. I suppose they're excellent in most of all the things that they do. Their services are good and fast and the meals are superb. The ambiance from the place is great. They'd accomplished exactly what a person is looking for a cafe or restaurant. more

There's nothing I possibly could request on them.

My Deep Appreciation to the Mussel Pot 1/9/2012

Hello to all, I simply went by to provide my deep appreciation to the mussel pot for their Lobster Mac’n Cheese. I’ve had the experience yesterday and bought Lobster Mac’n Cheese and I was a lot more than satisfied after consuming it. It’s a very fresh lobster with hardwood smoked sausage with shiitake mushrooms that I think is ideal for my craving on sea-food meals. Plus their enjoyable place makes you need to stay for longer hours. Nice job Mussel Pot. more

Rich Sauces 1/9/2012

I'm not a large fan of sea-food meals but when I tried The Mussel Pot’s crispy fried calamari, it instantly grew to become my personal favorite. It’s funny cause whenever somebody mentions this restaurant it’s the fried calamari which will all of a sudden appear into my thoughts. They are offered with 3 dipping rich sauces - chipotle aioli, classic marinara and chimchurri sauce. I believe they work pretty much for making tasty sauces. Fried calamari is certainly not without their special sauces. more

Unique Taste 1/8/2012

The Mussel Pot is the first sea-food I ever dined and it was the most excellent experience for I have tried other restaurants of the like after that but I was disappointed. They have their own unique but remarkable taste that penetrates to your senses whenever you dine hear. I still haven’t found this unique taste in others unlike other restaurants that are almost the same. I also love how their staffs treat their customers. They lighten up the day of whoever they encounter to. Furthermore, they had a very wonderful place. Who would never want to go back here? Everyone will sure to learn to like this place. more

Mussels Have Pasta 1/8/2012

At first I never would have thought that Mussel Pot offers pasta. I love pasta ever since. I was used to eating in pastas in fast food chains and other restaurants that is why I’m always searching for this taste. I found this Rigatoni pasta on their menu and ordered. What excites me is that they have plenty of choices of sauces: vodka, alfredo, pesto, carbonara. I’ve already tried all of them except for the pesto and so far I liked all of them. They are very creative and skilled in terms of food preparation. I also love their whimsical ambiance and classy designs; it’s very pleasant to the eyes. I guess that is why many people really love to stay here. more

They’re Good: Sea-Food/Non-Sea-food 1/8/2012

I am not that fond of mussels but I still love the Mussel Pot and the other sea-food and non-sea-food dishes that they are proud to offer. I really love their Grilled Prime Rib Eye Steak with 14 oz. prime rib eye served with sauté mushrooms, broccoli & potatoes. Aside from sea-food dishes they are really good at some other dishes. I’m also glad they had a very fast service that I devoured it immediately the moment the food was served at my table. That was really fulfilling and a very unforgettable experience. I constantly am fond of to go back to this restaurant for it always make me feel good every time dine more

My Appreciation to The Mussel Pot 1/6/2012

Hello food lovers, I just came to acknowledge to the mussel pot’s excellence in creating sea food dishes especially my favorite Lobster Dijon. If you ever tried this mouth-watering dish it’s the one which served with saffron sauce, Dijon mustard, lobster sauce, smoked hardwood bacon, garlic, tarragon, baby shrimp and baby scallops. I’ve been at the restaurant two days ago and ordered the dish and I was more than satisfied after eating. Their chef is indeed an expert in creating these types of dishes. Plus their pleasant place makes you want to stay for hours. The place is simple yet elegant which vibrates a classy atmosphere. I also like their oasis garden with small Koi pond. Amazing Mussel Pot, job well done. more

I like staying here at the Mussel Pot because of their delicious sea-food dishes and lovely ambiance. We’ve been here last week together with my sister.

Perfect For Unwinding 1/5/2012

The Mussel Pot is infusing classic comfort food into the mussels. Instead of just broth they served mussels with some tasty rich sauces that compliment the whole sea food dining experience. They offer more than just a casual, sleek dining atmosphere. One unique feature of the restaurant is an oasis outdoor garden located in the rear of the premise. It is covered with lush greenery and presents a cascading rock-waterfall and Koi fish pond. Whenever I dined here together with a special someone I always prefer to be seated near the garden for it is invigorating and refreshing. The restaurant is indeed an ideal place for unwinding from the busy work. With its refreshing ambiance and excellent food everything would seem to be perfect for you. more

From The Website 1/3/2012

I first found the Mussel Pot on the web so I decided to visit here once together with my brother Ed. Right after our individual work we headed directly towards the restaurant; we were both tired. My brother instantly loves it here for the place was pretty comfy. He considers the place as good for unwinding from the hard days work. The people here were accommodating as well which makes you want to stay for a couple of minutes. We ordered lobsters and mussels which I forgot the names and we find it very excellent.

Amazing Meals and Service 12/17/2011

I am a consistent customer, especially for lunch in The Mussel Pot. Although most of the meals are good and nice, the baked recipes are sometimes a little plain. All the staff is very employed to me and instantly try to address any issues that come up. Best are their mussels and lobsters! Their various non seafood recipes are always delightful. I really like this place and will be coming back again here for some more amazing meals and service soon. I dropped by here for a brunch and was impressed by the dimension and good quality of the both the meals and staff, Where else can you get a brunch meal that can keep you full, employees were amazingly helpful and very friendly and the sweets were amazing.
