Mussels And More - Brooklyn

As always, it was wonderful! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. This restaurant has been one of our favorites for years.

I recently dined at this charming restaurant with two friends on a Friday evening around 6:30 PM, and we had a delightful experience. The restaurant features two areas connected by a narrow corridor. The front section has bar seating and a few tables, while the back area, where we were seated, has more comfortable table seating. It has an inviting and dimly lit atmosphere that sets a cozy vibe. Upon our arrival, we were promptly seated in the back, and since the restaurant was still fairly empty, we enjoyed a calm dining experience. As our meal progressed, more guests filtered in, and by the time we left around 7:15, the place was bustling. We ordered a variety of dishes: the Soup of the Day (Lobster Bisque), Linguine Seafood with White Wine Sauce, Lobster Ravioli, and Fra Diavolo Mussels with a side of linguine. Although we had the option of choosing French fries, we decided that more pasta would be a better choice! The soup was served promptly, and soon after, the rest of our meals arrived. The lobster bisque was hot, rich, and creamy, packed with generous chunks of lobster that made it feel like a cozy hug on a chilly autumn day. The seafood linguine was also rich and creamy, enhanced by a slight tanginess from the white wine, creating a wonderfully complex flavor. The dish was overflowing with fresh calamari, shrimp, and mussels. The lobster ravioli was impressive—large pieces drenched in a creamy tomato sauce. The filling was delicious, with gooey cheese and minced lobster, and it was topped with even more lobster chunks. As for the mussels, they came in a delectable light yet spicy tomato sauce (which was more like a soup than a sauce). The sauce had fantastic flavor and just the right amount of heat, with plenty of fresh mussels to savor. While the side of pasta was a bit plain on its own, it paired beautifully with the other dishes and could easily serve as a simple pasta dish for kids. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. They kept an eye on our water glasses and refilled them without us having to ask—definitely a nice touch! They also promptly brought us hot water upon request, which can often be overlooked in other places. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this gem of a restaurant. I've visited a few times before, and each experience has been equally enjoyable. It's a true neighborhood classic, with fantastic food, top-notch service, and a cozy atmosphere, all at reasonable prices. I’d rate this a solid 10/10 and can't wait to return!

I dined here for the first time and had a wonderful experience. The service was excellent, the prices were reasonable, and the food was delicious. I will definitely return!

When you eat at Mussels More, you really do get mussels MORE. You get mussels AND Jim AND delicious food AND amazing hospitality. After reading so many great reviews about this place, we decided to check it out to see if the reviews were true. We originally ordered take-out because we had our baby with us so we thought about just bringing the food back home and eating it from there. By the time we got our food, the baby fell asleep in the stroller and we realized we should take advantage of the time and eat our food there instead. We asked Jim if it would be ok if we can sit down and eat our take out at the restaurant and he was so gracious to let us do that. And then he served us at the table even though we kept telling him that we were not really sitting down to eat since we did not know how long we had with the baby asleep. We were so incredibly touched by his kindness and the hospitality that he and his staff gave us. Not only that, the food was also delicious. I recommend the classic mussels and fried clams.

I had an unexpectedly fantastic meal at Mussels and More yesterday while celebrating a baptism. The food was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented—far beyond what I had anticipated. I can't help but wonder why more people aren’t posting about this place! The restaurant was buzzing with happy customers enjoying their food and cocktails in the lovely bar area. Our group had a private room in the back, and every detail was perfectly executed—the lighting, the outdoor space, the seating, the music, and the service were all impeccable. And the food was simply amazing! Have you been there? What's your favorite thing on the menu?
