“Stopped by for lunch while travelling through the area and was a much better option than the chain options. They have a small building I almost missed as driving by - had to turn around to go back. I highly recommend the burger with spicy mayo and a side of potato salad. Some great options for those that like seafood too.“
“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.“
“I've been staying at Water's Edge this week and enjoyed dinner at the Seaview Bistro on Friday for their prime rib special and entertainment. I was thoroughly pleased with both! My Caesar salad was unique, for me at least, in that the anchovies were front and center, placed right on the salad rather than in (or perhaps in addition to being in) the dressing. My prime rib was cooked perfectly, and the chocolate bomb dessert, filled with chocolate and raspberry mousse, was indeed "da bomb"! :) My server, Serena, was delightful and friendly, and my seat, next to the crackling fire, was hard to beat.“
“Upstairs on the deck is a great place to be on a summer afternoon or evening. The staff is so friendly, there are lots of choices for great food and drinks, and the view of the marina and marsh with egrets and other birds is relaxing and beautiful. We go at least once a week!“
“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.“
“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.“
“What an amazing experience. I first want to thank the bartender Dylan for welcoming us and allowing our night to be the most special experience. We started drinks off and they were really delicious. The food came out in a timely manner and I love how the kitchen is in the same room as you. I ordered the egg toast with caviar and the short rib. My boyfriend got the waygu steak, he said it was the best steak he's ever had. I tried a piece he's not wrong! The bar seats are so comfy and I loved being able to enjoy a fancy dinner. The desserts were very rich. Thank you The Essex!“
“How nice is it to go out to dinner and be treated like you matter?!?! The food is so good, the owner and his wife are delightful! The staff are amazing! If you haven’t eaten here you truly must stop in soon. You will be really happy that you did! Breakfast, Lunch and now serving dinner and drinks too! Enjoy~?“
“My brother in law arranged for our family to gather here for lunch after gathering at Hammonsett in rememberance of the first anniversary of his wife, my sister's passing.We were not rushed in any way. The staff was very attentive, and my clam chowder was fantastic. We were all very satisfied with our lunches.“
“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!“
