Mussels & More

“They have outdoor seating and a inside bar it's a really good spot to visit and hang out.”

“They have a bar at the front, go towards the far right, walk through the little hall and you'll find the dining area.”

“Different from your conventional fried calamari, as you bite into the grilled octopus you'll notice the distinct grilled/charred flavor.”

  1. I was a bit thrown off by the Yelp reviews and the photo of the moldy bread (yuck), but it didn't stop me from going to Mussels & More (mostly because I love mussels and this place is a dream and I'm also not a fan of bread).  Their prices online are wrong (convincing me that I could get a heaping of mussels for less than $15, also a dream), but probably regular price for the amount they give you.

    There's a bar area and a large dining room in the back.  It filled up quickly around 8pm on a Saturday night.  As for parking, there probably is none unless you get in on the side streets.  Anyway, our waitress was super nice, we had a bucket of bread and some pickled red pepper I believe — it's similar to that Indian sauce you get with roti.  Avoided the bread, and headed straight for the mussels.

    We had the Maine and the Bisque and let me tell ya, if you don't like food to consistently taste the same all through out, do not come to a mussel place.  Or order mussels anywhere because that is all it will taste like.  The bisque is exactly like a lobster bisque — the bread might come in handy here.  There's a lot of lobster claws too.  And the Maine, oh gosh — lobster and bacon? Yum.  The bacon got kind of soggy (expected) but the lobster claws were generous – at least 6 in there.  And of course, tons of mussels flavored in a nice creamy, parsley broth.  So good.  And yes, I guarantee you that one order is enough to make you full.

  2. Was a little confused about their organization.  The bar area is up front.  Have to walk towards the back along a narrow hallway to the main dining area.  The tables and seating area looked nice and comfortable, but the kitchen area kind of just ruined the whole image.  The shelves and the kitchen area looked old and not renovated compared to the bar and dining area.  The prices on their website is wrong as other people have mentioned.    

    Had their baked clams, half rack of ribs with mac n cheese, and bisque mussel pot.  The baked clams u could probably skip.  Wasn't so good and a little salty.The bisque mussel pot was ok.  Wasn't as good as other places I have tried.  Mussels were a little on the small side.  A decent amount of lobster pieces.  The complimentary bread that is given for dipping in the mussel sauce was one of the worse bread I seen in a restaurant.  It was cold, hard, and kind of stale.  The ribs were kind of a surprise.  It was the best dish of the night.  The ribs were a little crispy and falls right off the bone.  Tasted better than a bbq place.  The mac n cheese was also pretty good.

    Overall, the service was really good and attentive.  The mussels were disappointing.  Kind of pricey for the quality of the food.

  3. We've been wanting to explore more of Bay Ridge so we decided to check out Mussels & More on a Sunday evening.

    Upon walking in we thought we were at the wrong place. The dining area is towards the back past the bar. Our server was super friendly and attentive. She quickly took out drink orders and answered questions about the menu.

    The ambiance was clean and sleek. With the wall full of floor to ceiling Windows a lot of natural light came in which was really nice.

    Fresh bread was brought to the table while we waited for our food. It came along with some type of tomato based spread that we were not fans of. It truly lacked flavor. I ordered the fish and chips with a Caesar salad. Everything tasted good but not overwhelming delicious. My boyfriend ordered Thai flavored mussels. I tried a few and they were delicious. I'm slightly ashamed to say that was my 1st time having mussels but at least now I know that I like them.

    Overall we enjoyed the experience. We'd definitely return and try more mussels!

  4. A well night spent here for Father's Day watching the Golden State vs Cleveland game, we requested to sit at the communal table by the bar instead of the dining room in the back, we were accommodated immediately. The staff was very nice about it.

    We ordered two buckets of mussels in two different flavors, one spicy the other white wine. We ordered three lobsters, one boiled and two baked. And a seafood fettuccine with a side of fried sweet potato fries. We were not stuffed at the end but everyone had a decent amount of food.

    I must say, those mussels are, so, tiny!
    But every bite was tasty. I preferred the spicy flavor, I could dip a brioche in there a take a few bites.

    The lobster was meaty, I liked the boiled one better, must give an honorable mention to the grilled veggies on the side, so very tasty and juicy!

    Finally the superstar of the meal was the fettuccine, I make good fettuccine already, this was cooked to a perfect texture, that spicy cabonara seafood was delish! I should be back for some more mussels and drinks.

  5. I've been here a few times and enjoyed their mussels. I think I enjoyed the broth more than the mussels itself due to size of it. It's not exactly that big. All the other food here is pretty basic. I don't find this place to be ludicrously great either. It's a very local place for people to have a nice dinner and brunch.

  6. I'm assuming night time gets extremely busy, but lunch on a weekend seemed particularly empty. Split into two halls, one for drinks at the bar, and the other for more dining experience.

    Complimentary bread and tomato sauce. (Save the bread or ask for more later if you're getting the mussel bucket).
    Not a fan of the octopus – it was a charred fish cake texture.
    The rest of the food was pretty good, but not over the top for its price.

  7. I must have forgotten how much I liked this place but i am glad I decided to come here yesterday! I fell in love with their bisque mussels and their pesto pasta was just as good as I had remembered. The waiters service was impeccable and I love that they gave us bread which I used for the bisque sauce… (Heavenly!) If you don't know which mussels you want go with the bisque! And chunks of lobster is just an added bonus! My friend ordered their angel hair seafood pasta, didn not like the giant clam that was served.. We must have gotten bad ones or something cause it tasted like sewage, their angel hair pasta was good but a little plain for my liking… Overall had an amazing experience and would definitely be back! Love this spot and would highly recommend it!

  8. I've been here before and I have to say I can see why they've dropped down to 3.5 stars. The service here is TERRIBLE.

    I came here for an early Mother's Day dinner and made reservations for a party of 5 for 715. So we arrive and there is absolutely no one there to seat us or ask for information regarding reservations. I had to walk all the way to the back of the restaurant to find the manager and be seated. But it gets worse. After acknowledging and confirming our reservation it took them another 45 mins to actually seat us at the table.

    You would think they'd try to make up for the long wait time but no instead it took them 20 mins to get us water. After we ordered our food came out after over an hour… And the whole time our waiter did not walk by once to update us on any of our food. This was a terrible experience.

    The only reason for the 2 stars is because the food quality is not bad. Since the last time I was here Mussels and Moore has degraded in customer service. I will not be coming back.

    Too bad the gratuity is taken automatically for dinner, not a good idea if your service is not worth tipping. This obviously made the entire wait staff try less and care less about customers. Terrible terrible terrible.
