“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!“
“We dine at Westbrook lobster at least once a week! We love the specials!Today I had bacon wrapped filet mignon, asparagus and fingerling potatoes!My mom usually has the mussel appetizer which is a meal for her!My husband gets a different fish fish each time.The seafood is always fresh!I love the peartini! My husband loves all the bears on tap and the beer flights.The desserts are great too!The service is beyond out of this world whoever you get. But we usually have Robert who always takes great care of my mom.Today she also got the seafood stuffed mushrooms that were on the special list for dinner!They have an outdoor dining area for the summer!It’s about $10 per appetizer and $20-40 per dinner see menu in pictures!“
“Visited here over a year ago and cannot stop thinking about the best ever Lobster Roll..... planing a trip to the region and trying to figure out how to sneak in a two hour side trip!Update: Still the best. Traveled the northeast coast and tried several other places and decided to change departure plans so we could have it again. We bragged so much that a couple of friends from New Jersey made the drive to meet us.“
“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.“
“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.“
“We’ve been here dozens of times over 30 years.We just returned from out of state back to CT and live west of Hartford now, but have tripped back down to Essex twice lately.Both times we ended up eating at Black Seal.Both times we had a great lunch.My wife had the Cheese Quesadilla and I had their burger.Awesome grilled flavor.Service is great and the restaurant has a great atmosphere.“
“We come into town every summer!! Best place we have found! Lobster grilled cheese is amazing!! Everything is fresh and tickles the taste buds!! Owners are personable and enjoy their business. I would walk at least a mile to get here. Love that they are right by the water and the marsh! Views are incredible!!“
“My family and I had a great dinner at this restaurant that I believe was recently remodeled. Food and service were excellent and they made the place so nice inside- very cozy, warm and inviting. Two great bar areas inside as well. Looking forward to more dinners there!“
“Ordered takeout and it was spectacular. Five spice prawns were absolutely delicious. Lightly fried and cooked to perfection. Vegetables were cooked but still crunchy. Basil chicken was really good. Chicken was super tender. We ordered at the counter and it was ready in less than 10 minutes. The two hostesses at the counter could not have been nicer.“
“I wish I could give Lenny & Joe's 10 stars! I LOVE Lenny & Joe's. I now live out of state & can not get fresh seafood that I like (cod & scrod). EVERY time I come home to Connecticut, I ALWAYS make my 1st & last stop. YES, I stop here 2 times more if I can LOL. Thank you Lenny & Joe's for being the BEST restaurant in the WORLD!- HAPPIEST CUSTOMER EVER“
“Overall, it was a great experience and atmosphere. The location was amazing as well. The service was great. It was a blue grass weekend, and they had a live blue grass band and a special menu. Tried their pork ribs and crawfish. Pork ribs we great, but unfortunately, crawfish was served raw. We also tried their fried chicken and poppy seed salmon. Both were delicious. Drinks were well made. Will definitely be willing to give them another try.“
“A very pleasant place, quiet, with a cozy fireplace, a bar and of course delicious food. The service is very nice, pleasant and friendly waitresses. I was there with my friends who almost a year ago moved to the US. They got in love with that place! Separate children's menu with good selection. Delicious cocktails, thanks to the bartender! And of course I was delighted with the food, thanks to the chef and his team! I ordered stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer- just great! I also ordered a harvest salad with pieces of steak - oh God it was just magical! My friends ordered smokehouse burgers and were absolutely delighted! I highly recommend this place! Me and my friends want to go back there in the summer to enjoy eating outside because they also have tables outside!“
“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.“
“Great lobster rolls and beautifully cooked fries at Kim's beachy "shack" right by the sea in Old Saybrook. Lots of quality lobster meat on a beautifully grilled brioche roll. Fries were crisp, hot and delicious, made with really good potatoes too.“
“Always a great experience! Whitefish salad, bluefish spread, Asian Calamari salad... picked up some cod to make miso cod... I did not have time for the oysters today but they are always wonderful! Everything's always fresh and the staff is super helpful and smiling!“
“Very family forward spot. Camping here is great. They have lots of activities for the family including, but not limited to: movies, bingo, canoe trips. The nature center at Meigs Point is small but offers a wide slate of activities both hourly and daily. Kids love it.“
“I enjoyed Lenny and Joe’s so very much. The staff working there are so friendly! I ordered baked stuffed shrimp and it was truly out of this world. The stuffing is very flavorful and light. I also ordered the boiled red potatoes and Cole slaw and both were yummy! The only thing stopping me from a 5 stars is the atmosphere. The restaurant is clean yet is it worn and somewhat dull and tired looking. The bathroom could use a facelift too! That being said, I will visit L&Js every time I visit CT!“
“Very consistently good food! Often it’s excellent. They do not offer cream based chowder, but the clear broth style chowder is very good.I like the PEI muscles, seared scallops and shrimp and linguine and clams. They give you tons of linguine!Service is always very good. Nice views of a working fishing dock and ocean.Parking: Parking lot is small and, if busy, you may have to walk 100 yards to park.“
“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.“
“Ten stars if I could, what a phenomenal place. We eat all over and know good food. From the portions to the service I can not say enough good things. The scrod Florentine was amazing! This place is a must try and we will continue to go back. Thank you for a delicious dinner and great night.“
