Waterfront restaurants in Connecticut are such a delight. There’s something so special about enjoying your meal while looking out over the water, seeing the waves roll in or perhaps watching boats meander on by. We are fortunate enough to have quite a few waterfront restaurants in the state. One of our favorites is right on the edge of New Haven Harbor: Shell and Bones. This tasty spot offers up exquisite seafood and seasonal patio dining that overlooks the harbor.

Shell and Bones is located literally right on the water in New Haven. This place's exquisite location is matched by the wonderful quality of the food here.

There's an indoor dining area, though really we can't imagine why you'd want to eat inside.
