We were seated immediately and the server came right over, Introduced himself and gave us waters. He gave us menus and took our drink order.
I got a Subduction IPA Stacy got a Malbec.
He came back quickly with beverages and took our order for dinner.
Stacy got Fillet Mignon, and I got seared scallops. Both dinners came out quickly and were awesome!

Nick or server was very attentive and he was also doing double duty as the bar tender. He did a great job.
Overall we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back!

Post script, They give ten percent discount for cash!

I really enjoyed our food and drinks. My husband and I ate at the bar. The location is perfect, and Niantic has many free parking lots. I would definitely be back for another date night. It is small inside, so it will be hard if you want to meet with a large group, so I recommend calling ahead.

Went in at 4:45 to a dining room with 4 people in it. Was seated in middle of room at a 4 top. Asked to sit at one of two empty tables at the front window. Was told both empty tables were taken by reservations. I left. Dev’s never heard this saying: “A bird in hand is better than two in the bush.” They deserve their bad service reputation.

Large menu with lots of small plates options and lots of tasty cocktails. 2 small plates is plenty for dinner if you can't decide between that and an entree! Highly recommend the Cong Cong Ma. It looked like a small piece of short rib when it came out, but it is rich and spicy and was plenty.

Dev’s on Main is just a great dining experience and gets high ratings in all areas. We decided to go tapas style for this dinner experience. There were three of us which is a perfect number for this style eating as many of the small bites dishes have at least three pieces to share. We started by being offer a complementary sample of a Stomping Horse wine from Washington state along with a goat cheese spread on a crostini. This was enough to convince one in our party to get the red wine while I decided to partake in both types of sangria. The first round was Vegetable Purses with two dipping sauces (soy and spicy sambal) and Crispy Pork Meatballs also with dipping sauce. Everything was delicious including the dipping sauces. The sambal sauce was very nice and not very spicy. The meatballs were wrapped in linguini and deep fried which made them crispy. The next round consisted of Steak Florence, Fathead Chicken, Wu Chow Shrimp and Fried Scallops. The Steak Florence was served with a blueberry Chianti sauce. That was a great combination, blueberries and steak. The Fathead Chicken was “slathered with a honey drizzle- unbelievably great. The other two dishes, one shrimp and one scallop, were for the seafood lovers and satisfied that hankering. The accompanying dipping sauces were excellent especially the Tabasco garlic dipping sauce which we used for both seafood dishes. The last and final round consisted of the Tuscan Bruschetta, Garlic Shrimp and Mongolian Beef. The picture of the Garlic Shrimp does not do it justice because it is covered up by the bread. But the shrimp is being bathed in a garlic butter sauce and the bread is for soaking up all that delicious blend. We save room for two desserts and both very interesting and fun. The great thing about Dev’s is the great service and all those delicious dishes; shrimp, scallops, beef, chicken, pork, dipping sauces, signature drinks and desserts, can be experienced in one sitting. There is no better value in dining than that. I highly recommend this restaurant for great dining. Just be advised that if there is a show at the Niantic Playhouse down the street, then it might be advisable to plan your reservation time accordingly.

The atmosphere is great and staff was super friendly. Unfortunately we weren’t thrilled with our dinner choices. We’ve heard so many great things about Dev’s but for us it didn’t live up to what we have heard from others. Maybe our tastebuds were just off tonight. We’ll have to stop by and try again.

Have been a few times, once for lunch after the Niantic 5K, and also for dinner on two occasions. Chef Rachel is always coming up with great dishes, I've never had a tapas or main I didn't enjoy here. Overall, one of my favorite shoreline spots.
