“Had a wonderful birthday meal. It was the day before St. Patrick's Day so the specials were Irish oriented. My husband had the whiskey honey glazed salmon which he said was very tasty. My daughter had the traditional corned beef and cabbage and my son had Shepard's pie. Not much was left to bring home in doggie bags. Lots of nice wood paneling inside and we were seated near the fireplace. The grandkids even enjoyed it.Parking: The restaurant is right off of Route 9 in Old Saybrook. There is parking in both the front and the back of the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Walk up ramp for a cess to front door and outdoor seating when the weather is nice.“
“The food was excellent at Aspen, as was the service. This was our first meal there, and it was delicious. I had the braised short rib, which fell apart beautifully as soon as I touched it. Melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness. The creme brulee cheesecake was delightful - a combo of my two favorite desserts. I hope to eat there many more times in the future!“
“Nothing at all negative, everything was absolutely amazing! Sunday Brunch is an absolute treat here! The food stations are thoughtful and varied. You could enjoy something here every day and never get bored! The service is, of course, impeccable, the dining areas immaculate and tasteful, and the food is the phenomenal focal point! A special shout out to Chris's Bird, the hotel manager, who is truly dedicated to the enjoyment of every guest!“
“Absolute favorite restaurant. I cannot say enough good things about this place. The food is amazing. The drinks are amazing. The atmosphere is ridiculously lovely. Would definitely recommend!Vegetarian options: They happily accommodate dietary restrictions. I have brought vegetarian and vegan friends here who have had no problem finding really tasty things on the menu.Dietary restrictions: They are happy to accommodate any allergies. I brought my good friend here who is allergic to nuts and they were very accommodating and helpful.“
“Overall good experience.Appetizer was crispy duck wings which were delicious and perfectly cooked.For the mains I got the poke and my girlfriend, the veggie burger w/ truffle w/ fries. The poke included fresh tuna and the rice was cooked perfectly, however in my opinion the sauce was too tomatoey flavored and overpowered the rest of the dish. The veggie burger tasted good but would benefit from the patty being a little crispier.Had the warm chocolate chip cookie w/ ice cream for desert which was lovely.Overall good experience and would go back. Means of comments above is suggestions to enhance what the restaurant has to offer.“
“Truly one of the best meals I’ve had in Connecticut! The French onion soup was AMAZING—the combo of caramelized onions + crispy onions was ? plus the gruyère!The duck was melt in your mouth tender with an incredible pepper crust, seared to perfection. The crispy polenta cake was also done really well. The swiss chard + pancetta added a nice, zingy contrast.For dessert, I had the turtle cake which was fluffy & moist with caramel + candied pecans.Big kudos to the chef & kitchen staff! My server was also very kind & knowledgeable. The manager graciously sat me at a lovely table even though I was a solo diner.I left my phone at the hotel, otherwise I’d share pics!“
“Nestled across the street from a venerable shoreline favorite, the Turtle Cafe is another absolute gem. Chef Ricky and Mariah, who was at the counter, were extremely welcoming and make for great conversation. The menu is vast and all of the food was amazing. I had eggs Benny with a side of hash, I highly recommend this place.“
“My fiance and I stopped by for lunch because we were on our way to the shore and it was conveniently off the highway. The food was great, we each had a burger/sandwich and it was delicious. The views of the waterfall added to the atmosphere. The service was also very good. I have a feeling this place gets busy for dinner. Worth checking out!“
“The beer was very good, the bartender was friendly and provided great service and explained all the different beers they had and made some great recommendations. The wings were very good, as was their special of day- sausage platter and pretzels. We highly recommend it and will return!“
“Dined here with a party of 15. Private room upstairs was the perfect size. Wait staff was extremely accommodating and helpful in planning and executing a surprise for my father's 70th birthday. Only down side was that our waitresses seemed overwhelmed and forgot to bring out salads. Otherwise, it was a fantastic experience and great food!“
“Lovely atmosphere, warm, calm, and clean. I ordered the scallop pasta dish. The chefs prepared the scallops perfectly, light sear on the exterior and juicy, soft interior. Well done. I was not fond of the pasta, undercooked and tossed with an insipid sauce. Would return to try another dish.“
“Love, love the food and staff of this fabulous breakfast lunch restaurant!Great specials. The sausage and biscuits best in CT.The homemade muffins and breads out of this world! My favorite is the Cinnabon bread. Yum!Outdoor seating if you have a dog with you.Right on Main St, Deep River if you want to pop in one of the local stores after very nice unique gifts and clothing.“
“LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.MUDSLIDES MUDSLIDES MUDSLIDES.Finally getting around to leaving a review at one of our most loved spots down on the water in Chester. What's better than docking a boat, and popping over to some mudslides of your dreams? Pretty much nothing.Lobster rolls are tasty, but on the smaller side. Can't go wrong with the tacos/fish and chips!Already looking forward to Marker 37 again this summer, great seating/menu items/fire-pits/corn-hole and service! During peak season reservations are encouraged!Thanks for the fun in summer 2023, looking forward to 2024.“
“Absolutely delicious. Wow. I liked everything we ate. My buddy told me about this place and we were in Chester for work that morning.Had an omelet and egg and cheese and cookies and a scone and a muffin.They also have a gf coconut cookie which is yummy.We'll definitely stop here next time we're around.Keep up the awesome work.“
“We love everything about this quaint welcoming tavern, especially when Carla makes the margaritas ;)The Ivoryton Tavern has charm, lots of history & the bathroom soap always smells wonderful!Highly recommended if you are in the area or attending a show across the street.“
“We had not been to Liv's for a number of years since our last experience was not positive. We were delighted to find that this time was very different. Our meals were excellent, service was helpful and attentive and our overall experience was most enjoyable.“
