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 !“

“We ended up ordering a large pepperoni pie and traditional buffalo wings and boy was this worth while. The consistency of the cheese on the pizza felt like I was in a teenage mutant ninja turtle episode with the cheese pulls. The wings were the PERFECT level of crispy and balanced out with the buffalo sauce. Price is definitely worth the visit. They also offer traditional Latino dishes which look like they're made authentically, so we will be stopping by again! Great mom &pop shop to visit!“

“Such a lovely place with delicious authentic food! The patra and samosa are a must try, and the aloo paratha with chole puri was amazing. What made it even more special was how warmly aunty and uncle welcomed us — their hospitality makes this place feel just like home ❤️“

“Debs was on my list of places to try for a bit! A new favorite spot. My boyfriend and I enjoyed corn chowder, hash, special blueberry pie stuffed French toast, and a special queso Philly cheesesteak “mess” which was like an omelet with all the Philly ingredients plus jalapeños. Deb joked and said I’d need a nap after the meal. Everything was SO GOOD!!! And I do enjoy a nap. Big fan. So many more things I can’t wait to try!“

“Tonight we ordered hot wings- and we are flat lovers! We asked for at least half flats, and our wings came and they were ALL flats! Kudos to the kitchen for accommodating us!

“My wife & I have been enjoying MANY weekday meals at TJ'S for more than several years.

We could more highly recommend this restaurant as a place for you to enjoy a good meal!!“

“I had THE BEST breakfast ever! I have been wanting to go to the Turtle Cafe for a long time and finally got to have breakfast there. I ordered the breakfast crepes with salmon and lemon sauce. It was absolutely delicious. Service was friendly, on time and the chef was great, too.
I will return! Recommend Turtle Cafe to anyone wanting a fantastic meal.“

“This was our first time eating at Otter Cove. We sat at the bar and ordered a dozen oysters and a half dozen littleneck clams. They were delicious and well shucked. We then got a salad to split and Lisa's rigatoni, which was clearly handmade pasta and was very tasty. Highly recommend this local establishment for food and drink“

“Moodus DaVinci - Okay, as if I haven't spammed the internet enough already about this place, I HAVE to post about my wrap. I got the Chipotle Steak wrap. It was a decent size portion. I saved half for lunch today. The best part? it was JUST as delicious upon reheat as it was last night!!! it wasn't soggy. It did not fall apart. Most importantly, it was so so good!!! There's nothing I would have added or taken away. I can't wait to get it again! Since I haven't left a review on this page specifically yet, I'll add that the wings here are phenomenal!! There's many kinds but garlic parm is my fav. So, if you're looking for a good wing spot in this neck of the woods - look no further!“

“If you’re looking for the best breakfast in Old Saybrook, this is it. The food is consistently on point — legit homemade vibes. The biscuits and gravy are a must, and the eggs are always cooked exactly right (which sounds simple… but isn’t everywhere). Prices are more than fair, portions are solid, and the whole place just feels comfortable and genuine. Service is friendly, quick, and makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time. Definitely one of those shoreline go-to spots“

“Joe makes the best Lemon Drop martini! 🍸🍋“

“Wonderfully charming and historic town of Chester; creative menu; delicious food; creative environment; talented chefs; gracious hosts and servers; very gracious and dedicated owner. My party of four had a delightful experience; in fact, our guests consider Grano Arso one of their favorite restaurants.“

“Our first time visiting, what a fantastic spot! The food was delicious and Kate was super nice. I would highly recommended the biscuits and gravy! Every single thing was delicious 😋 We cleaned our plates. The environment was friendly and welcoming.“

“We went tonight for our first time and the food was delicious and service fantastic! Everything is made to order and you can taste the quality! I had the pad Thai, best I’ve had to date. It was a busy night and the staff worked hard and moved quickly ensuring everyone was taken care of, waters refilled, checked on to make sure everything was great. 10/10 would recommend!!“

“My husband and I had a very nice Mother's Day dinner at Cafe Routier. We have been going to the Cafe Routier for 25 years and it has been consistently excellent. The hanger steak is delicious and always cooked exactly as requested-medium rare. I loved the Shrimp and Scallops Spring Pasta, which was cooked to perfection.“

“The best place in Coastal Connecticut“

“My first visit today. ALL the servers were friendly & helpful. We had a 6 month old with 4 adults. They made sure we were comfortable. The food was amazing. Parking took a bit with the snow.“

“Everything was delicious as always yesterday for our superbowl party. Thank you so much!“

“Honestly originally came here thinking it was a typical tavern. Left having one of the best food experiences I have ever had! The food was amazing and so perfectly prepared I have been back countless times since and am always recommending them to friends and family. Definitely need to fit in a date night here really soon!!!“

“Slice Mob Takeover

Nine members of the Slice Mob walked into Sal's Pizza & Pasta hungry. The pizzas never stood a chance.

Located in Old Saybrook, Sal's is spacious, comfortable, and welcoming, with Italian classics playing in the background and plenty of room for a large gathering. It proved to be the perfect setting for a Slice Mob takeover.

A variety of pizzas made their way to our tables, but I started with the basics: crushed tomatoes, fresh garlic, and grated Parmesan. Sometimes simple is best.

Built on a beautifully crisp crust that held up from first bite to last, this pizza let the tomatoes shine. They were lightly seasoned and full of flavor, supported by the punch of garlic and the salty bite of Parmesan. No unnecessary distractions. Just a really well-executed pizza.

Next up was Sal's Works. Same great crust and sauce foundation, loaded with sausage, pepperoni, bacon, roasted peppers, mushrooms, onions, and mozzarella.

This pie struck a nice balance between meat-lover indulgence and vegetable-forward freshness. The toppings were applied with restraint and purpose, allowing every ingredient to contribute. Salty, sweet, savory, and packed with contrasting textures, from crispy bacon to tender sausage and vegetables, every bite worked.

As more pizzas arrived, the room got a little quieter. That's usually a good sign. The Slice Mob tends to have plenty to say, but when great pizza hits the table, conversation takes a back seat.

What stood out most?

Not a single complaint from anyone.

And if you've ever dined with the Slice Mob, you know that's about as rare as finding a parking spot in New Haven on a Saturday night.

Michael, the second-generation owner, came out to greet us and pose for a photo. Super nice guy, humble, appreciative, and genuinely happy to see us. He also couldn't help but comment on the number of pizzas we ordered. Fair observation. We may have slightly exceeded the recommended daily allowance of pizza.

The restaurant is beautiful. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. And perhaps most surprising in today's world, the prices were incredibly reasonable.

Judging by the smiles around the room, the empty trays, and the steady stream of pizzas coming out of the kitchen, Sal's didn't just feed the Slice Mob. They won us over.

Great owners. Great staff. Great pizza.

Sal's Pizza & Pasta is officially Slice Mob Approved.

Pizza is life. See you at the next slice.“

“great beer selection and bar food is unique and creative“

“Five professional motor cycle riders who eat in a lot of food at different stops were very satisfied. Great prices/ great quality/ good quantity/fast service/ great waitress/ clean modern seating and restrooms/ ample free parking. Its now on our favorite list. Thank you for serving us so well!!“

“I have been going here for at least 11 years. The food never disappoints. I love the daily specials and holiday special orders. Fresh and delicious. The bakery is excellent, the cookies are irresistible. Quaint gourmet sandwich, coffee, and gift shop in downtown Chester. Highly recommend, outdoor seating. Always friendly service.“

“Very Friendly Place. It has a small little local artist shop!“

“I celebrated my birthday at the Seal tonight. We haven't been in a while. I had the Short Rib Ravioli, Mom had the Serloin Steak, my wife had Tuna and our son a grilled cheese. Everything was delicious! Our server said she was new, but did a great job. We finished with warm Carmel apple pie! It was the perfect ending to a great night!“

“Always loved this place. Food and service amazing! Always stop here on my way through town.“

“I’ve been thinking about Jia Mei’s dry cooked food. Today I tried the 5 Spice prawns which was served of a bed of warm lettuce, red peppers, and fresh sliced chilis. It was delicious, flavorful, colorful, and spicy. This cooking technique is a style of Chinese cooking which is hard to find on the shoreline. Yum!“

“Amazing service from the moment I walked through the doors. I had a table of 7 booked for my birthday meal and couldn’t have wished for better service! Food was amazing as always and the atmosphere was great! 😊 Thank you little pub!“

“I’ve been going here for six years and it never disappoints. Any time a friend comes to town I bring them to steamed as a necessary part of the Madison town green experience. Love the teas and the veggie dumplings and my friends adore the soup dumplings.“

“Delicious beautiful place“

“Absolutely delicious food, ready in much less time than I expected, and had food that I could safely eat with a cow milk allergy, and didn't blink for a sec at us masking. If timing on our trip had worked out we would've absolutely come back and gotten more of the delicious dumplings.
Highly recommending this tasty spot!

N/a rating for atmosphere as we were getting takeout.

Vegetarian options: There are a few veggie options. Veggie lo mein was hot, greasy, and delicious.

Dietary restrictions: No ingredients listed on this place's menu, but I selected nothing that typically contains what I'm allergic to.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not a wheelchair user myself, but the shop doesn't have a step up. Counter is high though.“
