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!

Quaint restaurant in downtown Madison, Connecticut. Open roof in back for summer early evening dining. Good for Vegetarian, seafood and Asian fusion cuisine.

We have been going here for years. The meals here have always been well portioned, consistently great, and the staff has always been friendly. Highly recommended! Our favorites are the Irish nachos (waffle fries with corned beef, cheese, jalapeños), the homemade chips with house made aioli dip, the cheeseburger wrap, and California panini. Also you MUST try their house made honey mustard and also the house made hot sauce. They also have Sam & Oliver sauces, made by a company based right here in Guilford. Awesome beer selection is always rotating and can be viewed on the BeerMenus app! Great for families with kids too.

Lots of good grease! We had an early dinner. Excellent service. We ate way too much. The portions are more than ample. The fried oysters starter was very good. The lobster/shrimp special was excellent. And the seafood platter is enormous and good. Could not finish it. If you like fried seafood, this is the place. They have other selections but why not order good grease??

We had a couple of very good burgers. A large beer selection and drinks. Service was very good. Parking lot is kind of small and fill up fast. Bit costly, but worth the extra for burgers that are this quality. Right on route 1 so very easy to find. We will be going back.

The booth seats are wooden. I finally stood up to relieve the discomfort. The "noise" emitting from the speakers was annoying. I did not go there to listen to their selection of "music".The sandwiches were adequate, but higher in price than comparable nearby. The onion rings....don't bother.The service was excellent (I take back the above "not one good word". Upon departure I was informed they have pads for the hard wood booths. Nice timing. Oh my sore....

We had eaten here before and found it to be good. We met here before heading over to spend the afternoon at Hammonasette State Park, it is conveniently located a short distance from the park.We shared the fried avocado appetizer, then all ordered the Reuben which we enjoyed very much. The food is good and reasonably priced. The service is OK.Â

Chow!!!!This place is awesome. Iâve heard about it. Iâve driven by it and today was the day to try it. Definitely stood up to the word going around town on how this little resturant is rocking the food waves. The wonton and burnt end apps... delish. Half rack of dry rub ribs with Brussel sprouts... delish. Oh yea, they also produce some pretty good looking pizza pie. Weâll try that next time. Parking, indoor and outdoors seating. Bar seating. To go orders seemed to be slamming busy. So, Iâd say give Chow a try either eat in or take out.

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!
