“As many know I review lobster rolls, I’ve wanted to come here for a while to review their roll on account they have been getting a lot of traction in the lobster roll game. First we will start out the Crescendo, the atmosphere was spot on with the fine establishment being right on the water, furthermore I was shocked and excited to see the out door eating area was completely enclosed with clear material for the winter weather. That’s a plus, a lot of places loose the eat by the water vibe during the winter season, but not this place it’s absolutely excels, adapts, and overcomes anything that gets thrown at it. Now on to the service, everyone was very nice. I didn’t know they opened at 11:30 and I called at 11, that however wasn’t a problem for them they took my order anyways and said it would be ready at 11:30, that however wasn’t the case. We were actually waved into the restaurant by a server with a smile on her face saying our food was ready. I saw the big guy at the bar himself Captain Stu! While she got my food, I was greeted by him with a smile and asked how my day was going. It’s a weird feeling when a restaurant does everything right, it seems like restaurants took about 10 steps back when it comes to costumer service since the pandemic. That’s not the case for this place, it’s something warming about going into an establishment and being meant with kind people who look like they are loving their life and job…. I digress, now for what this whole review is about. The Maine event if you will, the lobster roll. Upon looks I knew this one was different, as I closed my eyes and took the first bite I could hear the seagulls, the waves crashing. I could feel the salt in the air, kids laughing and making sand castles. The lobster meat, truly never frozen, no lemon flavor to cover up sub par lobster meat. Truly buttery and you didn’t even need teeth to take this one down. It was like captain Stu himself of the SS Dock 10 caught a pot full of Maine lobsters from the harbor, put them straight into a pot poached them in home made butter. The smells of the lobsters hit you as he toasts up a delicious fresh brioche roll he got from the bakery fresh and still hot from being made. He builds this magical roll, but no no no he’s not done it’s not over he chops up some green onions from his own garden that’s morning! To make each bite truly an orgasmic experience. But ever story, and dream comes to an end, all that’s left for captain Stu to do is bring you back to the dock where you reflect on a lobster roll you will never forget. I only review the best and the worst lobster rolls and let me tell you this meets the best lobster roll in ct tear. It use to be one roll to rule them all. No more it’s 3 establishments who have consistently setting the standards higher and higher. I’m pleased to say this establishment is now one of those top three who deserves best lobster roll in ct. My one critique to make it even better but this is me being nit picky, would be to include a side of that extra amazing butter for people who would want more warm butter as they eat. That’s it! Amazing place, amazing food, and service that is second to NONE! I will be back, you can count on that. Until next time Captain STU!“
