Connie & Ted's: A Trendy Seafood and Sandwich Haven in West Hollywood

I don't understand how this place is closing when the line to get in was out the door, but we had the best time here on our visit to L.A. Delicious, refined New England comfort food and amazing fresh seafood. Service can make a good experience a "great" experience and our server Joey was absolutely phenomenal! He had us cracking up the whole time, gave excellent food and wine suggestions and took great care of our group. The manager or owner who checked on us was kind and friendly. Loved it!

Connie and Ted’s will always be one of my most favorite seafood restaurants. I highly recommend and thoroughly enjoyed their Jo’s Wicked Good Chowda (Sampler of Three - New England, Manhattan, and Rhode Island Clear), oysters and lobster!!! I always look forward to coming back.

Came here for Valentine’s Day because we had been craving seafood and had a wonderful experience! The food and drinks were great, and our service was top notch (thanks Joey!) We ordered the oysters, calamari, hot lobster roll, and the Portuguese fish stew. Everything was DELICIOUS! They made a perfect-ratio dirty martini and even had blue cheese olives!!! (My fav) We left feeling very satisfied and can’t wait to come again!

Connie and Ted’s continues to do what few places in LA manage—serve up seafood that actually tastes like it came off the boat this morning. I had the sockeye salmon, cooked to that perfect midpoint between flaky and tender, with just enough char to bring out its richness. But the surprise hit? A new vegan creamed corn that deserves more fanfare than it’s getting. Silky, savory, and a little sweet, it somehow pulls off indulgence without the dairy. Service was exactly what you’d hope for at a place with this much polish—attentive but unintrusive, with a team that clearly knows the menu inside and out. Whether you’re a regular or just stopping by for a seafood fix, Connie and Ted’s holds its own as a West Hollywood staple. Every plate that hits the table reminds you they’re not phoning it in—freshness and execution are the whole point here.

I came to experience, George’s of Galilee, Rocky Point, Lidos beach and other memories of the Rhode Island summers I remember as a kid. It did not disappoint! The chowdah and clam cakes were definitely a higher level that those RI slots but very good. The whole fried clams (with the bellies) outstanding and what I originally came for. They were exactly as I remember and more! My server Lawrence very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back!! It is NE clam heaven right here in LA

Upscale but relaxed and casual- nice vibes. We had a great view of the open kitchen from where we sat. However, the good feelings waned along the way. It was a very busy restaurant without doubt but we were still a little unhappy when told some items were sold out as it was only 7.30 p.m. I felt the food was pretty ordinary or perhaps my expectations were high. The chowders were diluted and I highly recommend giving it a miss. The portions were rather small.

I've been coming here for years now each time I'm in LA. The care that they put into staffing their business really shows as its not only quality food, but the service detail is always impeccable. If I could share just one reason why I continue to go; its the lobster bisque... not kidding; it's just so right. So if you're ever wanting authentic modern seafood or just the best lobster bisque in the city, go here. You won't be let down. But do schedule a reservation on the weekend I've found they can get quite busy!
