Reviewed By Donna S

My husband and I were out for a ride on a late Sunday afternoon, around 4:30 pm. We were treated with “We’re out of lobster, lobster rolls, scallops and fish tacos”. We were left with about 6 other seafood choices or a burger. My husband had whole belly clams that were loaded with sand and I had a fish sandwich that was so soggy the bun fell apart.

Lenny's on the beach

Reviewed By cindylee40

My husband and I rented a cottage for a week in August at Hawks Nest beach. We spent many hours at the tiki bar which overlooks the beach. The food was great, especially the sweet potatoe fries and the Tuna/avocado wrap. Prices were also very reasonable, and some days they had live entertainment. The place next door...The Pavilion...well, we're in our mid-40's and that scene...a little too...um... not our thing...

Had lunch with friends on Sunday outside on the deck. Lovely setting and comfortable seating with choice of awning or sun. Food was very good. Ahi tuna salad, steak salad and lobster roll all enjoyed. Server was pleasant and we wanted for nothing.Music started at 4pm as we were about to leave but sounded great. Will return!

Casual waterfront dining located in the Brewer's Dauntless Shipyard. A bit hard to find but defintely worth the effort. Abby's Place serves American cuisine with a flair, specializing in fresh, locally sourced meats and seafood.

Reviewed By Christina M

Terrific veggie burger with pesto. The crab soup was very good and the chicken sandwich was tasty. Our waitress was very accommodating as was the owner. Unfortunately the waiter had an issue when we arrived and asked not to be seated next to the door as it was very cold outside and didn’t want our two year old granddaughter to be subjected to that. We simply asked to be seated at the adjacent table that had a reserved sign on it when he told us that they had a reservation. We informed him that so did we and he didn’t seem to understand arguing that they had called ahead which we informed him that we did as well. Finally the owner came out of the kitchen and placed us at the “reserved” table we had asked for originally. It could have turned ugly but we appreciated the owner settling the issue.

Otter Cove Restaurant

My husband and I selected Otter Cove because it was so close to the Quality Inn where we were stopping for the night. We were pleased. Food was very good and service was prompt and friendly. I had the Mongolian ribs which were fall off the bone tender and very tasty. Husband had baked Haddock with crab and that was very good as well. Would recommend if you are in town

This restaurant is truly a gem. From the moment you walk in it sets a tone. The service was outstanding. The food fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. We had oysters, octopus, ravioli (special lobster and mushroom) and swordfish all absolutely to die for. Our only disappointment is not leaving any room for dessert. I can honestly say that I can’t wait to return. Reservations are strongly recommended we were there Saturday 7:45 and the place was packed.

I reserved a private room for an event during the brunch time. This is my third time having an event at Fresh Salt. Ellen, Liz and other staff were all super accommodating, easy to work with and helped us with another memorable event. Heather was designated to our room and was great at keeping things smooth. The buffet was delicious, plenty of variety for all my picky eaters. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. Our cake (special order) was spectacular. The raspberry mouse filling was delightful, refreshing and so moist. Thank you for meeting all our needs and exceeding all of our expectations yet again! Mgwis,Thank you kindly, it is rewarding to all of our team to receive your compliments. I will be sure to share your positive thoughts with our entire staff, particularly our brunch and pastry chefs, sales and banquet team members who worked closely with your event. We are glad to have met your expectations and hope to have the privilege of your company with us again soon! Please contact me directly with any feedback you may have for us regarding any improvements we can make for your next visit.Well wishes,Janelle MantieAssistant Restaurant ManagerFresh Salt2 Bridge StreetOld Saybrook, CT 06475
