“Im not surprised most of the other reviews are 5 Star. Let me explain something for the public:I have been an Oyster Fisherman for about 12 to 13 years. Most of that was been working for or contracting with Norm Bloom & Son. I’m pretty sure these guys are a subsidiary or contracted with them. The process from beginning to end of growing these oysters is outstanding and no one does it like we do. We lay down shell we’ve caught over the winter from ground we have mostly emptied(we use a suction boat retrieve the shell stock thats left) every July.There’s one week roughly in July the spawn are released from the Oysters and they sit in the water column. When we wash off the shell into the water, on its way down the spawn attach to the shell. That area is left to grow and we come back and dredge them up when they’re thumbnail sized. Those get shifted out from shore further and then quite some time after that they are moved to Norwalk and two weeks after that they are harvested, processed and bagged and pushed to restaurants like these(owned by us or normal restaurants).This process has an amazing heritage going back to the 1800’s and also, NO other shellfish is as tasty, well textured and nutritious as a shellfish from icy cold winter waters like we have here in CT. Our clams, oysters and even mussels(though they are mostly grown elsewhere as they’re problematic to grow here in the sound) I can say with certainty and authority are the BEST shellfish product you can possibly obtain in this country. Im assuming they can only be rivaled somewhat by our brothers in shell fishing over in Washington and Oregon and then maybe Europe, Scandinavia and Russia with their beautiful Shellfish resource.So ladies in gentlemen, in short and the reason I have made this review is so you all understand how blessed WE all are to have access to such a beautiful, RICH heritage and have the ability to TASTE that heritage, reap its benefits and understand why this product is superior.We are surely lucky, as many in the world will never have access to nor taste what amazing shellfish we have and if they do, it is subpar, warm water shellfish. Those waters are only good for spiny lobster, snapper and a few other fish species as far as taste and quality but the far northern and deep deep southern arctic and antarctic zoned sea food resources are a superior source to all other sources of seafood product I can assure you.Be thankful for the men (AND women more often these days!) who go out in the cold and in the heat, suffering long hours and a lot of sacrifice to their personal time and families to make sure that the companies and restaurants are well stocked with the highest quality product. Its a hard life and we do it because we love the water. Shellfish is Connecticuts greatest natural resource! Be proud of your home!Thanks for reading all!“
“Great food! Everything was flavorful, fresh, and delicious. We ordered a shrimp dish with veggies and rice...the shrimp was cooked just right which a lot of places can get wrong real fast. Also ordered the dumplings, lo mein, pan fried noodles, and crab rangoons. Dumplings tasted very fresh and the crab rangoons were on point, not too sweet, just right. Definitely making this place our new favorite to order from!“
“I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT. FB DEFAULTED TO SAYING I RECOMMEND IT. Cocktail was excellent but from there it went downhill. Waiter couldn't answer a basic question about the flavor of Agua Fresca. Also, my drink ran dry and waiter was no where to be found...on a slow night. Worst of all, however, was that the food was lacking. We ordered a chips and salsa flight. If we added guacamole, it's an extra $4...highway robbery. Underneath the top layer of chips was a basket filled with crushed chips! Unacceptable! The carne asada burrito was drenched on the inside making it impossible to gage the quality of the carne asada. Burritos should not be wet on the inside. Also, there was no additional hot sauce. The amount of cheese was tiny...no flavor. I wanted to like this place, but as someone who is well acquainted with authentic Mexican fare, this restaurant falls short. The good reviews are written by people that have never had the real deal. Once you have, you'll realize that most Mexican on the East Coast is a pale imitation of the real thing.“
“Restaurant is well decorated and the tables even have fresh flowers. Service was good and food came out quickly even though we went at an odd time.The crab rangoon were great but be warned they are different from your regular rangoon. If you only like the typical cream cheese, steer clear.“
