The Mussel Pot is a wonderful place to sit and appreciate meals, from brunch to dinner; its advantage is its location. It's a really looking place and with a fantastic meals with a very versatile family atmosphere. It has admirably higher objectives if you are prepared to pay a little additional for the fulfillment of good meals. When I was at this place, my major issues were creating a decision between so many fantastic mussel entrees. I would be happy to tell everyone to have a look at out their day-to-day set collection, it’s actually quite fantastic value for income. And they really offer fantastic seafood. They really offer fantastic value and an assortment of alternatives, sure to make everyone in the party happy, whatever their choices may be.

A group of our circle of friends, 6 of us were going out for my best bud's birthday celebration and a few individuals on Tweets lately have been tweeting about The Mussel Pot. So we determined to have a look at it out. The images do not do this wonderful eating place proper rights. When we got there we requested to sit in the playground but since there were no big furniture available then, we sat in the lounge but still near to the terrace so we can see the fountain. No biggie cause it was a bit freezing out anyway. We determined to take in wines and purchased a few containers. We purchased a few different mussel recipes to try and contributed everything loved ones design. Everything was delicious. The mussels were clean, big and hot and provided in these lovely containers. We now had an enjoyable and an excellent eating place for celebrations. more

I am very much very pleased to be one of the clients of The Mussel Pot. Why? It's because of them I acquired to really like having mussels. They have a lot of different types of worldwide mussel recipes. And I really like it so much. Also, the assistance is really excellent. No issue how fast paced employees is, they will really try their best to help you with your needs. They will squash you in to their fast paced time. And lastly, the location itself is the best. I'm ridiculous about the options of the having location. The designs on the walls, the outside terrace, the furniture, and the bar. Truly incredible. more

I went to this restaurant on a romantic and I really had a good time. The meals was wonderful and the service on factor. My date doesn't eat any seafood but there were a lot of non-seafood dishes to select from on the list such as rice, chicken, meat and lamb. I had the Indian Mussels and they were amazing. If you want to impress your date on your wines collection this is the best location since everything they have is wonderful. Even the home red & white-colored which we both tried were amazing. The lawn fountain is awesome and the outside sitting entrance and rear is big plus. You can come here as casual or formal and not be able to experience that you are out of place.. more

This is my first review on Yelp even though I'm an avid Yelp user.lol Anyways my fiancee and I had a horribe dinner experience at yelp and sent an email to the Mussel Pot Manager and webisite about our experience. I'll paste my email I sent them on the bottom so everyone can read it, Dear Mussel Pot, I had dinner with my fiancee earlier at 5pm at the Mussel Pot. Our experience was absolutely horrible from the moment we walked in the door. By the bar up front we saw 2 female employees applying makeup on each other. We were seated in the back near the kitchen where we hear the kitchen staff and other employees joking around and talking about their personal business,cursing,and could even hear someone calling the other person a "a hippie chick". My fiancee then complained to one of the people in charge and we were reassigned a seat far away from the kitchen to avoid the noise but we can still hear the noise that was coming from upfront too! Then our mussel entrees came and while we were eating the meal was okay then as my fiancee was eating his food he found a piece of plastic that was later told from the manager on duty that it was from the shipping of mussels in his food when my fiancee complained. The manager apologized and didn't really do anything about the situation.He was busy doing paper work with another employee. We were very disappointed by the whole dining experience and very unprofessional service.We were so much in a rush to get out of the restaurant due to the bad experience we forgot a best buy plastic bag that contained a present for my fiancee's mother. We were looking forward to eating at your restaurant but this whole experience ruined it. more

It gets very busy on the weekends. I recommend making a reservation and be prepared to wait a few minutes for your table if your reservation is between 7-9PM. I don't mind waiting since their bar area is so cute and welcoming. The bartenders always have a nice conversation and the drinks are tasty. Each time I ate here I tried a different mussel entree. I have had the New Yorker (spicy), the Lobster dijon (amazing) and the Thai (tasty). If you like rich dishes then definitely try their Lobster Mac n Cheese. It's incredible and everyone raves about it. more

A month ago I was looking for a good place that had something different on the menu besides the usual items. Then I found The Mussel Pot. I sat in the outside garden and it was a beautiful and cloudy day. I ordered the new york mussel pot. This dish was so delicious. I am planning to come back this weekend to try some of the other lunch dishes or dinner dishes. My best friend is coming to town next week and I will be taking her out to dinner at this new gem of a restaurant. I know she will be glad if I will brought her here. And I'm going it a memorable day for her. more

Last week my friend invited me to dinner and she wouldn't tell me where we were going. She just told me its a new place she read about and it has been getting great reviews. When we arrived I saw the name on top of the awning "The Mussel Pot". At first I was very hesitant but still we went inside. The look of the place was so nice. One of the staff took us to our table and I was stunned on how beautiful the outside garden was. The server came over and took our drink orders. We just got the house wine which we were told was very good and boy was it and this was the best I've tasted. My friend convinced me to order a mussel dish even though there were plenty of non mussel dishes on the menu. So we ordered one. And Oh My! So this is what mussels taste like. I grew up in a house where my sister made me dislike seafood. But not anymore. Now I am a mussel lover. more

" The Mussel Pot is truly one of the finest restaurant I have even been to. Though I am not really fond of eating mussels, but they have other types of seafood available. The environment outside is nice, they are having garden theme. The inside was more classical. Seems like only rich people can afford to come here, but actually it's not true. The are affordable, at the same time delicious. My experience here is really unforgettable. " more

The majority of these reviews are clearly fake. That's pretty pathetic, and just goes to show how desperate they are to get people into their doors. Not to mention the large number of deals they have with a variety of different online coupon companies. That's desperation. If you go on yelp and read reviews that mostly real, you can see that even at 50% off people are still dissatisfied, and the management doesn't seem to be making an effort to change a thing. So how do I know these high reviews are fake? First off, they ONLY list positives about the restaurant. Sure, there are some legitimate reviews that only have good things to say, but most will at least mention a small negative (ex. Amazing food! The decor is pretty boring, but you don't come here for that.) Another thing that makes it obvious that these are fake reviews are that the "reviewers" usually mention every aspect of the restaurant, and a good number even list features that are coming soon. Yeah right. These aren't reviews, they are advertisements placed on here by management/employees. Excellent service? The yelp reviews would beg to differ. And how many times are they going to try and sell the wine and garden in these fake reviews? Pathetic. Learn how to write fake reviews. I'm looking for a job if you want to pay me to write some for you. more

I always like looking for new restaurants and to try new things. I went here with some friends a few days ago and absolutely loved this restaurant. it is so cozy and beautiful and the outdoor garden with waterfall and pond is breathtaking. We started out with some nice drinks that were very tasty called grape and ginger, Yummm. Then we had the calamari app with 3 dipping sauces which were all delish. My friend had the lobster cobb salad as an entree, it was huge. I had the Valenciana mussels and my other friend the salmon. Everything was cooked perfect and very tasty. I cant wait to come back and try another mussel dish. more

Me and my husband came here for happy hour last week. The $1 oysters and $4 sangria pulled us in. We decided to come on the weekend and try the full menu and were so glad we did. The food was great and the service could not have been more polite and attentive. We sat in the amazing back garden with a waterfall and fish pond. You feel like your out in the country side and forget your in manhattan. This place is one of my favorites now. We must come back to try more mussel dishes. more

I went here last night with a group of my girlfriends. What a beautiful restaurant with such a lovely staff. We order the tuna tartare and lobster mac n cheese to start which were both to die for. Then we went on to share the New York, Chefs best and the Thai and they were all amazing. I highly recommend to try this place if your on a date or with a large group. The ambiance and decor are breath taking. more

Went here with a group of friends & had an awesome experience. It's always cool to find a restaurant with a unique concept. We ordered a bottle of a full-bodied spanish wine that was recommeded by our waiter, and it was a great selection. We ordered oysters & the lobster sliders for an appetizer which were delicious. We each ordered a different mussel dish so we could try several and they were all rich in flavor & the mussels were fresh. I recommend the Indian which has has red curry & a great bold flavor. We ordered a round of oyster shooters as well which was a great cap to the dinner. We'll definitely be going back. more

To: Joseph, Alex & Leo Baskin - Ok, we got a 50% off discount coupon (good up to $25.00) off a discount site - will not name. It is a brand new restaurant on the block of one of our regular restaurants that we frequent. We truly were looking forward to enjoying the whole dining experience, nice place - good looking outdoor garden area. The concept of the restaurant we thought was unique in itself. We sat towards the back of the restaurant right in front of the glass window for the outdoor garden (there is a bench seating in the back, why the host wanted to put us originally by another couple with all the available seating was a mystery to us but my wife took care of that...). The glasses for water were unusual to say the least, they reminded me of the little Glade jar candle holders you see on the shelves in supermarkets but none the less, a glass for water is a glass. Our waiter seemed like a college student that was pretty disinterested in his job or perturbed by the thought of customers coming in to eat in his area. We placed our order, I ordered "American/Louisiana" ($23.00) and my wife ordered "Italian/Ciapino ($22.00). You could ONLY get greasy French fries fried in oil (obviously), as a choice to go along with the order as rice or PASTA was NOT an option with SEAFOOD – FIRST TIME EVER!!!! How ODD… So if you have a restricted diet due to starch or potassium content, you were S.O.O.L. (S?!t Out Of Luck)! Now what was most surprising was upon placing and waiting for our order, we knew something was wrong when we looked around and noticed that none of the tables had a bread basket on them. We thought that odd especially for a seafood restaurant - even your neighborhood diner offers you a bread basket. When we asked our waiter if it was possible to get some bread while we waited on our "dinner", his response was "I think I can see if that can be done"...DUH, WHAT!!?? OK, a "bread server" comes out and puts what looks like a mini muffin on each of our plates and then abruptly walked away. We looked at each other and laughed. I'm sorry, were we not supposed to ask for bread???!!!! When our server brought out our food, there was great anticipation seeing this HUGE sliver looking pot. Upon opening the pot, we were shocked to see that for such a HUGH pot, there was ABOUT 1/4 of the bottom with food (THAT IS BEING GENEROUS in my description!). TOTALLY OVERPRICED for what was little more than a double appetizer. The "bread" that is placed on top of the dish when you open the cover is a rectangular piece of bread approximately 6 inches in length. DARE you ask for anymore bread - WE DID! Every "seafood" place we have ever been to in our life, offers bread to sop up your broth if wanted. When we finished the original "piece" they "supplied", I asked for more which led to a different "bread server" coming out with his basket and silver tongs to give ME ONLY another carefully cut 6 inch piece of rationed bread, ONLY for me to remind him that it would be great if my wife got another "piece" also. This highly intelligent individual’s response was, "Oh, I have to get more, I will be right back"...it is really as if the bread was RATIONED out for the night! Wouldn't a BRIGHT individual see 2/TWO people at a table and if bringing out bread or water bring for both parties. Come on people; let us use our heads for something else besides a hat rack! The "SEAFOOD" - they give you 3 - 4 medium size shrimp and then the rest of the "shrimps" are like filler that a cheap Chinese restaurant uses in their egg rolls as was noticed in both of our dish and the scallops where the same in my wife's dish. We actually both thought they were tiny pearl onions until we figured it all out! We were shocked to say the least as was the table near us. more
