“First time having breakfast bagel with bacon, egg, cheese. My taste buds were happy! Coffee was a nice surprise in walking distance of the beach ? Great place.Kid-friendliness: Corn hole, dinosaur for photo ok. Ocean blue picnic benches with umbrellas.“
“A home away from “home”. A necessity and lifesaver when visiting relatives and staying with them locally in this basically disgusting and rotten quirky, creative and Artsy community including many historic disgusting feeble minded vintage car collectors?☢️. Which unfortunately has more in common with similar communities out west or Marfa Tx or inner-state, and offers little else in comparison to Essex, Old Saybrook or Mystic which are steps away from coastal New England heaven like Greenwich or Darien. Typically I would stay is Essex, Old Saybrook when in the area which is a relatively more sober and refreshing environment but sometimes that is not an option.Pros; Comfortable riverside environment, Warm genuine service, Ice cold beer, cool jovial bar and excellent approachable comfort food always brings happiness even in critical or emergency situations.“
“The prices are kind of high but I guess you're paying for the atmosphere that you're in which is beautiful. I love going here because of the atmosphere. Everything is ala cart now which makes it more expensive and the servings are pretty small. There is not a very big selection of food.“
“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.“
“Tasting menu was good. The caviar course was excellent. The onion tart and octopus fritter were both playful, fun twists on classics. My only complaint with the food was the progression. It started out really well, but towards the middle to end it was one rich dish followed by another. I would've preferred mixing in a couple of lighter or acidic things to keep the pallet guessing.“
“This is the best burger joint in old saybrook by far! Forget McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's!! Everything is made fresh! I ordered a cheesy and Onions ring and it was phenomenal! Besides the great and fresh food and shakes, the owner Lori and staff was also friendly and attentive! I will definitely be back!“
“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.“
“This place is a true gem! Nestled unobtrusively in a little plaza, the restaurant doesn't seem like much on the outside. But you walk into a warm, truly cozy, whimsical atmosphere that wows.The staff were all wonderful and seemed happy to be there, and the service was fast and efficient. Great people. I got a small spot of hot sauce on my shirt, and was trying to get it out, and Zoom! Here comes our waitress with spot remover! Wow!The food? OMG THE FOOD! I at first thought the menu was a tad pricey, but when the food came, my plate was LOADED. Worth every penny! And it was utterly delicious! Very fresh ingredients, and flavorful!I can't rave enough about The Shack. We will eat there many more times in the future!“
“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~?“
