If you're ever in the area, this is definitely a must try. Thank you for listening.

Now onto the food: - clam chowder was delicious albeit a little salty. However they do not shy from the amount of clams and potato in there! - swordfish, this was delicious and perfectly cooked. I was a little worried as swordfish is not a tender fish but the relish that went with the dish really complemented it. - chicken parm pasta: honestly I would skip this one lol nothing special - children's Mac and cheese my toddler gobbled it up and left 3 pcs only. Service was friendly, happy to have dined here!

Our waitress Stacy is on her 24th year and we saw Mandy who waited on us the past 2 years prior. My boyfriend beat his record 4 lobsters and 25 bacon wrapped scallops. I opted for 1 lobster and tons of crab legs. And the stuffed mushrooms are delish. But let's not forget we always get a coffee milkshake after dinner and before we hit the dessert bar. We tend to think it settles the stomach. Who knows, but it works in our minds and is SO GOOD! I had a little of everything. I love love love the food here. And I got to see Selma the mini horse. She seemed to remember me. (Let me pretend we're friends). Thank you Nordic for making our annual road trip yet again, the best part of our summer. I love you - you complete me!! Xoxo

OMG!! You will not be disappointed with this buffet. The food was delicious, hot (where…read moreappropriate) and plentiful! I really enjoyed the peel and eat shrimp, the grilled steak and the scallops. Many in my group loved the endless lobster. The dessert bar was another good stop. My suggestion is that you get there early, when they open Friday evening. We didn't need a reservation and thank goodness, because the line grew shortly after we got in. Again, can't say it enough, go early, you'll be glad you did. This way you can enjoy getting what you like with less foot traffic inside.

To weather everyone's expectations, this place is super casual and that's part of the charm. We sat on picnic tables outside. Over the Fourth of July weekend, we started with a dozen shucker's choice oysters, then ordered one hot lobster roll and one cold for the ultimate taste test. Both were amazing, but the hot Connecticut-style roll won by a claw. Hot tip: Abbott's is BYOB, so stop at Universal Package Store on the way. If we're ever back in Connecticut, we'll definitely be back!

I am absolutely obsessed with everything here. I made reservations for 5:45 pm on a Monday night…read more We actually came a little before 5:15 pm, because I was absolutely starving, and they were so kind/accommodating. They seated us right away! I love the vibes of the place, it's beautiful and inviting, but not pretentious. Our waitress was the best. She knew it was our anniversary and gave us a little bubbly to toast to. We also made it for happy hour (5 pm - 6 pm on weekdays, and 5 pm - 6 pm on weekends only at the bar)! All the small plates on the left side of the menu were half off! We immediately ordered drinks (the $10 happy hour cocktail - a blackberry bourbon smash for my husband, and a mocktail for me). We then ordered the shishito peppers, 2 of the pickled beet deviled eggs, and the roasted oysters with chili oil. They came out super fast, and it was delicious. The shishitos had that great char flavor along with a great dipping sauce. You can never go wrong with deviled eggs. Then we decided to order the fried oysters and the bread with corn butter. The fried oysters were the star of the small plates. Cooked so well. Freshly fried, you bite into it and it was juicy and delicious on the inside. Just so good. The bread and butter? Ugh, my dream butter and bread. Just so delicious. The butter was slightly sweet from the corn and had flakes of sea salt on tip, making it the perfect sweet and salty combo. We also got the salad (local produce!), and our waitress knew we were sharing ao she had the kitchen put it on 2 plates. Such a great touch. The salad was fantastic. After eating lobster rolls for a day, this was a much needed salad. It was refreshing, bright, and light! For our main entrees, we got the seared local squid and the strip steak. It was INCREDIBLE. Everything had so much flavor. The squid was cooked well, wasnt chewy. Just delicious. The crispy rice was the BEST THING I HAVE EVER EATEN. I wish we could order bowls of it. My husband finished it, couldn't get enough of it. The steak was fantastic as well. The potato with the bearnise sauce was so dreamy. The little onions on the steak, all the little touches were so well done. We knew we had to get dessert. We got a scoop of the black raspberry ice cream, a scoop of corn and blueberry swirl ice cream, and the lavender honey panna cotta. Guys. You 100% must get dessert. The corn blueberry ice cream was unreal. I dont know how you get all that flavor into ice cream. They dont skimp on the honey on the panna cotta. And it went so well with the more mild panna cotta. The black raspberry was a little icy because they froze whole blackberries in it, but at least you know they were trying to make sure you got blackberries in there. With happy hour, the bill wasn't too bad. This was hands down our favorite meal of our week long road trip. I can't wait to come back. I would 100% make a detour to eat here. Parking is pretty difficult around here. I would probably just Uber if I was coming here on a weekend. I need to come here for breakfast at some point.

I really didn't want to write this review, but potential patrons should know what they can expect…read morewhen working with the event staff at Shipwright's Daughter - if they plan to have a private dining experience and event there. My husband and I got married last December. We decided we would hold off on celebrating with our family and invite everyone out from California to join us for a weekend full of activities in Connecticut and a special dinner at Shipwright's Daughter during Memorial Day weekend. We contacted the restaurant's events team to work out high level details starting in late January - to book a private room and hold a date and time. From the get go, the communication we received from the event staff was dismal to say the least. Not only did the events manager misquote the estimate for the room reservation, she came back and asked for a much higher price (up charging by an additional 30% of the original minimum fee) two months after we confirmed and discussed the date. She then explained it was due to the holiday weekend. Our date had never changed from the moment we inquired, so we would have appreciated knowing this upfront. Over the course of several months (and an absurd number of emails and a few calls), we tried to solidify the menu and wine selection and made multiple attempts before hearing back from the team. It was about two weeks before the big event when we were able to confirm a menu. It was about four days before the event that we heard back from the beverage director, but by then, my husband and I had already decided we would bring our own wine bottles, not wanting to leave it to chance with this team. I won't go into further details about the frustration we felt regarding their system for communications (they use an internal system that doesn't make it easy for guests to know who is copied on emails and who sees what). That is something I hope they will work out. When the big day came, I walked into the room and noticed there were a number of chairs missing, so I counted the chairs. They had an incorrect number of chairs for adults and not enough high chairs for the toddlers. We had requested a specific number of these chairs (weeks prior and mentioned it multiple times in writing), and I thought it was safe to assume that this was a basic checklist item for events set up. I was dumbfounded in the moment. I couldn't help but wonder what else they were going to miss or mess up that evening. It was disappointing to have our family members wait while the staff scrambled to pull other chairs into the room. From the time it took to take everyone's order from the set menu, the time between courses being served, and the attentiveness for pouring water and wine - all of it was a miss. The level of hospitality that we expected from a restaurant so recognized for its incredible food and approach to sustainable sourcing was completely overshadowed by the lack of attention and care by its staff - since day one of planning this event. Even a few of our family members commented on this during the dinner. At the end of the day, we felt like an obligation rather than welcomed guests, and that is mainly why I'm leaving this review. We had been patrons of Shipwright's a couple of times prior to this event, which is why we chose this establishment - to represent the best that Connecticut has to offer, when it comes to a dining experience we could vouch for. We no longer feel that we can recommend this restaurant. If you care about hospitality, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

The staff was professional and friendly (thank you Dennis) and he put up with the barage of questions my husband and DIL had. Dennis was very patient and kind and you could tell he liked his job.

I made a mistake of bot reviewing the menu before booking which is a must when you have an extremely picky eater. To make a long story short, our waitress was able to speak to the Head Chef who surprised my baby girl with a dish that was not on the menu. Not only were we surprised but we were also very grateful. Our executive here was great, our waitress was very friendly and informative regarding the customers favorites of the dishes. We ended up getting the Roasted Chicken dish, Crispy Salmon dish, 8 ounce Filet dish, Brussel sprouts and gilled asparagus.... Everything was delicious. If we lived in this area we'd make it a habit to dine at Hell's Kitchen regularly. Also the ambiance was great! Will definitely plan to come again the next time we're in CT
