Let's talk about THIS lobster roll ‍…read more Lenny & Joe's Fish Tale did NOT come to play. That buttered lobster roll is fresh, loaded, and worth the market price--every bite hits. I've had a lot in CT... this one is top tier. So good I finished it and said "yeah, I need another one to go" Friendly staff Indoor/outdoor seating Open year-round Now don't leave without dessert. The ice cream is a MUST Oreo sundae for me, Reese's sundae for the kids... no regrets. Summer = ice cream shack outside Off-season = still inside This place is the whole experience.

Food isn't very tasty…read more This place is great if you have a family and don't care what the food taste like. Lobster roll is bland. $30 for an experience that makes you crave biting into a lemon for flavor. My wife's fish was so dry and flavorless that you would think you are eating a fish sandwich in Arizona. Clam chowder is an insult to New England. It's soupy and not creamy. Only come here if you don't care about spending $$$ for food that genuinely makes you question your life choices. The atmosphere was nice. Service wasn't great but that was understandable given the dinner rush. Owner: i respect that you read feedback and respond. I wanted to love this place but was disappointed. Please include a lemon with your fish dishes. That little of a difference may change a lot of opinions about the food quality here. I'm only writing this because this was my first lobster roll in 2 years and I was heart broken.

Where can you go in Madison to get better seafood then M & J beach grill.

The ocean view from the picnic tables is priceless! Lenny and Joe's is good but M & J seafood Grill is better. Give it a try you won't be sorry. Stoped in with wife and grandchild for lunch. Great Cod sandwich out of this world. Once this place closes for the season you will be out of luck. Get to M&J beach grill, you will not be sorry!

We returned to South Lane for burgers & fries as the burgers are locally sourced or so they claim…read more Usually the burgers are on the small side but tasty. However, there have been repeated issues with fries. They are frozen store bought, as per waitress as they have a small kitchen she said & could not handle fresh cut orders. Fine. But no reputable restaurant would serve small, half inch potato fry ends that comprise a third of the portion. It was both unappetizing & off putting. We won't be returning, but just so others can get an idea, I post South Lane versus other places in Manhattan -no less - where rents are absurdly high and yes the cost of it is a fraction more. It is a lovely space, though.

I feel like this kitchen can make any sandwich you can imagine. My eggplant sub was saucey and heartwarming. The freshly made pizza (sorry, not pictured) looked great, and was pretty darn tasty. BUT THE STAR were the CANNOLIS. Good lord, they were fantastic, and I miss them. My Mom stubbornly was like "the best ones are somewhere else" but she's cray. These were phenomenal. And BIG. Don't listen to my Mom, and GO HERE for cannoli goodness. The savory stuff was good, and great ingredients. I feel like it's missing a tad bit more flavor. Maybe I didn't get creative with toppings. But it was all good. Will def go back, next time I'm in CT.

My family and I enjoyed a delicious meal at The Anchor in Chester, CT. Very good selection of…read morecomfort food. We had the Cubano (perfection), the veggie burger (fresh and flavorful), and the pulled pork mac and cheese (enough for my teenage son to eat with leftovers). The French fries were hot, crispy, and perfectly salted. Service was very fast. We decided to get some cookies for dessert later. The selection was eclectic, and they were all so tempting that we got several of them. Each cookie was wonderful, and they were still fresh when we finished them the next day. The restaurant was spotless and the staff was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The Anchor also had games available for customers to play while in the restaurant, and doggie treats for the pups. Overall, a thoughtful and comfortable place. We will be back!

Here's a tip, get your own, don't do splitzies like we did. I also had a dirt bomb to start with my Americano. The two definitely complimented one another so when in doubt, just go for it. The owner threw it in on the house because we kept mulling it over. This place is cute & quaint & located right at the marina. The customer service was top tier and the in house baked goods are to die for! They are cash only but there is an option to pay through venmo. This is definitely a locals spot. Great gem so stop in!

Atrocious service. After waiting for more than 30 mins the server comes over and told us that…read morethey're out of an ingredient for one of our orders. So my daughter had to select another sandwich. She apologized for the delay stating that they had printer issues back there. So basically she was not checking on the status of our order for over 30 mins !! There were only 4 tables with customers and 2 were done eating. There were 2 servers! Our food was finally delivered after the other table, who arrived way after us. After waiting for an hour our food was not even hot! My daughter's sandwich had burnt bacon (this is the new replacement for what she originally ordered). Our server was nowhere to be seen after we were done so we asked the other server for a box and our bill. Finally our server arrives with the bill. No apology for the delay or poor service, no acknowledgment of the service failure at all. Paid full price!! We will not come back and sharing that one of the waitress is just awful!

Noah's 63 is a great spot for a relaxed and satisfying brunch in Essex. The restaurant has a really…read morenice nautical atmosphere that fits the shoreline setting perfectly. The décor is tasteful and modern without feeling overdone, and it gives the whole place a comfortable, coastal vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer over your coffee. Service was excellent during our visit. The staff was courteous, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive, which always makes a meal more enjoyable. The brunch menu has a lot of tempting options, and everything we ordered delivered. I had the soufflé with sourdough toast and a side of bacon, and it was delicious. The soufflé was light and flavorful, and the sourdough was a great accompaniment. We also tried the Nutella-stuffed French toast and the breakfast potatoes. The French toast was a great indulgent brunch dish, and the potatoes were perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Overall, it was a really enjoyable brunch experience. If you're in the Essex area and looking for a comfortable spot with a great brunch menu, Noah's 63 is definitely worth checking out. Parking was a little tricky, as the lot next the pizza place next door was full despite there only being one other diner in the restaurant. But if you go down the driveway next to the museum you can park next to a boat in the boatyard and the entrance is down there.
