We went to Lenny and Joe's while traveling through Westbrook. We were looking for a lobster roll and this restaurant delivered. The roll was very good with an adequate amount of lobster meat. It came with homemade cole slaw and fried zucchini, both of which were very good.Service was good. This restaurant is busy and a little noisy but we didn't mind. They had exactly what we were looking for.We recommend

Lobster Salad Sandwich & Medium Lobster Roll and 2 soft drinks over $70 with tip.We then found a table in the tent. Then the very loud band started and blasted us out of the tent.Now the foodLobster Roll was all claw meat that had no taste because it was over cooked. My wife only ate half of it.The lobster salad was different in a negative way. Onions and tomatoes do not go well with lobster. The lobster mostly claw meat was also over cookedSo if you like loud music and over priced tasteless food then Shanks would work for you. We only tried Shanks because Lobster Landing was closed for the night.

I planned a retirement gathering for a colleague and it was spectacular. From the booking, to the actual event, everything was perfect. They gave us our designated area that was great and served the food we ordered on-time and amazingly prepared. The location of this event was new for my group which fueled more people to attend than originally anticipated. This was not an issue and when I needed to order more food the mangers took charge and worked with me. Gluten free and vegetarian needs were met as needed with no hesitation by the staff. We never felt rushed and our retiree was extremely happy with our location choice. They even insisted on us taking the leftovers home. They could not have done anything to make this event more memorable and special.

We specialize in a fresh caught steamy lobster roll made to order. Also fresh clam chowder made daily, homemade stuffed clams. Not in the mood for seafood? Grab a nice hot dog by the sea and enjoy the view on our award winning deck overlooking the beautif

Better plan on spending some money for a group of four. Skip the stuffed clams. Too much mushy breading and barely any meat in it. The lobster was good and tasted great. Good amount of butter. Just wish I could have gotten it whole. Also skip the soup. Not worth it. But we are trying it every place we go and this would be on the bottom of our list for flavor.

We saw a story on the Food Channel about The Place and wanted to try it. Drove from Pittsburgh, PA to Guilford, CT for dinner. We weren't disappointed! Grest, casual outdoor restaurant with stumps for chairs. We had the lobster, clam special, shrimp, vegebob and the classic New England Birch Beer. Everything was fantastic including the service. It will be our stop on future New England adventures. Life is all about adventures and experiences and The Place gets 5 stars from this family.

This is a popular restaurant and if visiting at the weekend worth booking ahead. Loved the Menu - not too large but a few unusual offerings which was nice. Recommend the Oyster sliders and the side of Brussels Sprouts with Apricot and almond was delightful. Service was good and staff were lovely. We will be back when visiting Madison in the future.

Rocky's is located in Cedar Island Marina overlooking Clinton Harbor, Cedar Island and Long Island Sound. Enjoy the never ending activity with the constant boat traffic, the southwesterly trade winds on one of our two beautiful decks.

Rocky's Aqua in Clinton has the best lobster rolls on the east coast! Hands down, it was the best in every way. We tried several different places up and down the coast, but nothing compared to Rocky's Aqua. The photos really do not do it justice. The lobster roll was packed with biggest chunks of lobster meat (see photos), while the other restaurants simply shredded little pieces of lobster meat and then added filler to it. Rocky's was the only one that gave you big bites and nothing else. The staff was amazing, and i must say, more than just a little attentive...they were right there for your every need. The place was packed, and yet the staff never faltered. We liked the place so much that we came back again the next day and tried different things on the menu--including the best seared Ahi Tuna steak, Lobster Ravioli, and Swordfish--which i hadn't tried for 35yrs--and it was cooked to perfection! But wait! It got better...they serve homemade ice cream on a beautiful patio as well. And they offered several flavors of homemade ice cream. It's the best! The restaurant overlooks the water. Everything was superb, and the staff was excellent in every way. I cannot recommend this place enough.Frank,It was our pleasure to host you while you were traveling! We'll catch up again soon! Thanks for the kind words!

This deservedly popular restaurant has the most beautiful view of LI Sound and across to Long Island. Right on Madison Beach, the covered veranda is a choice spot for meals while watching sailboats right offshore. Connected to the gorgeous AAA Four Diamond-rated Madison Beach Hotel in the pretty town of Madison CT, this was a perfect spot for our summer lunch with friends. The food was exceptional - everything we had was delicious from mussels, sandwiches and salads. However although the waitstaff was very pleasant, service was really odd. We had to ask twice for our table water glasses to be filled, some of us got lunch menus and others got dinner menus (replaced with apologies), no spoons were provided with the soup, a couple of glasses of wine took 15 minutes to arrive as did later coffee and a plate was snatched from one diner while they were reaching for a french fry. Not what one expects from such an upscale place. We are always happy to be patient when a restaurant is popular and busy and no one of these issues was really terrible, but the cumulative effect was one of inattentive service. That said, we would definitely go again and would guess that a Sunday brunch here would be wonderful.Dear VoyagesByTwo -Thank you for your review! I regret that our service was not up to par, and appreciate your frank and valuable comments. We take great pride in our level of service and I regret that we missed the mark with your table. Please come again so we can provide the experience you expected and deserve. And, yes, we have a fabulous Sunday brunch!
