Denville Seafood Codmothers Cafe

Chilean sea bass lobster bisque were excellent. Service was great! The waiter had told me they dropped my dish and had to make it again. He apologized profusely and a complimentary shrimp cocktail was brought to our table.

This used to be a favorite place, sadly no more, I believe it lives on its’ reputation, which had been exceptional. Not too long ago, we did takeout, and I was surprised about not just how much costs had gone up, but that they seemed to be trying to pad the bill. Just the same, the food was adequate and we decided to return yesterday for a special birthday meal, the last meal I will ever eat there. Even at 5pm, and with a reservation, we waited an excessive amount of time for a table, service was slow, food was just ok, and when the brought us the cake that we brought, they just brought the box to the table, with tiny seafood forks, claiming that they were out of clean standard forks. The restaurant wasn’t especially crowded, but the service was really poor, food unexceptional and not worth the price paid. I’m not sure if they may have changed owners, but sadly it no longer the place we used to love!

What a gem of a place for outstanding seafood! Service and food were excellent. They do not serve alcohol but do allow you to bring in a bottle of wine if you would like one to accompany your meal. I had the Mussels Diavolo (Wonderful and on the spicy side of you like that) and the Swordfish which was cooked to perfection. Thank you to Denville Seafood for an excellent dining experience.

My son and I had a great experience. He is a picky eater and in particular doesn't like fishy smelling seafood. I brought him here in the hopes to find a fish dish that will break his impression that all fish taste fishy. The broiled scrod did it for him. He loved it. I had the broiled lemon sole dinner with cole slaw and double portion of broccoli. The chocolate lava cake was the perfect finish for the meal.

Great seafood. We were in the mood for fresh oysters without the big price tag and this place sure delivered. The mussels in garlic sauce were very flavorful. The bread was nice and warm. The New England clam chowder was filled with thick chunks of clam which we always want and rarely get at other establishments. Would come back.
