    Clambake Connection caters a 50th birthday celebration on City Island! A spectacular evening!
    Sally C.

    Clambake Connection did an exceptional clambake for a friend's 50th birthday party at our home on City Island. We wanted this celebration to be a very special evening but with the ease of being waited on at a restaurant. Maria and Derek were excellent from start to finish focusing on all the details. Maria was amazingly friendly and responsive. Derek was on time, incredibly helpful, and steamed all the food to perfection. The raw bar was sensational. Derek was so well prepared that he helped us with set up for the party. I would absolutely use Clambake Connection again and again without hesitation. They made our birthday celebration an evening that people - most importantly our guest of honor - will never forget!

    Maria and the rest of the Clambake Connection employees were an absolute pleasure to work with. They catered my backyard wedding and I cannot say enough good things about them. Everything was absolutely perfect and we did not have to worry about a thing (what every bride & groom hopes for on their big day!). My guests still rave about the best wedding meal they have ever had. Their clam chowder was also so good that my guests ate it in 100 degree weather!

    Let's start out with TERRIBLE and AWFUL ... TERRIBLY AND AWFULLY GOOD ... Land lubbers from the South and Iowa and Washington State had NEVER had a "Clambake". Some of our close friends had joined us for a beach/beachhouse vacation and for a wedding celebration to follow. A couple of our friends also had never visited NYC. This New England experience exceeded their every expectation (ours too!). We ex-New Englanders were surprised and pleased with the variety and amount of food served to each of our friends. On-time setup, serving, waiting for everyone to finish, and clean-up were efficiently and professionally provided. Thank you for an enjoyable and memorable event!

    Our wedding lobster clambake = heavenly!

    Marcia Selden's entire team Were exceptional all around. We…read moreworked with Jennifer and Melissa on the planning, the incredible creative and delicious menu plus staffing. They brought it- they exceeded our expectations allowing us to be guests at our own party. The chef's presentations were the talk of the evening- all night we had so many wow factors and the servers and bartenders were professional and caring-they went above and beyond. This was a large rehearsal dinner right before Christmas in NYC. IF you want to have a worry free event, professionally managed, and a memory of a lifetime- Marcia Selden is your caterer/party planner.

    My niece got married and used Marcia Selden Catering for all of it. There were three days of events…read morewhere catering was needed. It seemed as if it was all of the same staff that worked all of them. They were all friendly, accommodating, and very professional. By the end of it all, I felt as if we had known all of them forever. That was really cool. The plethora of passed apps, dinner buffet, cocktails, and the the brunch buffet were THE best catered food I have ever had in my entire life and 30+ year career in the food and beverage industry. Me and my party that I came with (one of which owns a catering company in another state) were totally blown away. I live on the other side of the country now. But, the Selden's food made me feel completely at "home" again. Truly impressive. I highly recommend them for any of your occasions.

I did purchase some pasta that I'm really excited to try! I ordered a sandwich and forgot the name sadly. It was ham, jalapeño cheese, roasted red peppers, and honey mustard. Boy, was it yummy! Ingredients are all fresh, and the roll is soft and delicious. Will definitely be back!

    I'm going to start with the good…read more When I called to place an advance order, the guy on the phone was friendly. When I picked up the food, the kid at the counter was friendly and helped bring my order to the car. Now, I have to lay out the facts. This was the first time I've ordered food from A&S. I called to place my order based on the catering menu posted on their website. I wanted to order two stuffed breads, a panzanella salad and chicken scarp. Note that the website indicates, "Pricing of all of our items is subject to change [due] to constant fluctuations in costs..." The guy who took my order informed me that they no longer do stuffed breads. "Okay," I said and ordered a vegetable crudite platter on the fly since I wasn't anticipating that. "Oh yeah," the guy said, it is also $45 (not $30 that it says on the website). Begrudgingly, I said that's fine, as it was for a family Sunday afternoon dinner. Next, I ordered the panzanella salad. "We don't make that anymore." The guy informed me. I sighed and said, "Alright, how about a [small bowl] Caesar salad?" The menu listed it as $25 on the website. Lastly, I ordered the main event, the Chicken Scarpariello. Thankfully, they still made this and the half tray was still $60, like the website said. Fast forward to me picking up the food on Sunday. The kid at the counter shows me all of the items, Caesar salad w/ Caesar dressing, vegetable crudite with blue cheese dip and chicken scarp. "That'll be $148.60," he said. "Would you like a receipt?" YES. It didn't sit right with me how much everything cost (for 6 adults, mind you). I asked my wife to read me the receipt when I drove off. Included was a $4.73 'non-cash adj.' which I assume was me using my credit card (on a $140 ORDER). When I opened the food up, I really got angry. My $30 Caesar salad had zero croutons. It was solely lettuce and parmigiano cheese. Essentially, it was likely a 3-head bag of lettuce with cheese and dressing, for $30. Something I could have done myself for about $7 tops. Next, my $45 vegetable crudite platter had broccoli, red & yellow peppers, celery and cucumber with blue cheese. There was no spinach/artichoke dip as indicated on the website. Neatly presented, but it was $45 for veggies (and one, not two dips). Last, the menu indicates the chicken scarp is served over rice. When I opened the tray; SURPRISE, no rice. The food was tasty (specifically the chicken). But for what I paid (for mostly vegetables), I am so disgusted. Not only with A&S, but myself for agreeing to purchase the food in the first place. I have such disdain for this experience, I'm likely not going back. The guy taking the order admitted the website needed to be updated. But again, mostly I'm pissed at myself because I paid a lot for what I got in kind. The cherry on top was the line item on my receipt for using a credit card. I get that credit card companies charge fees, but it's 2023 and if you're going to nickel and dime someone for using a credit card, do it if it's under $10, not on a $140 order. Lesson learned. The problem with running a business this way, is you only can pull that ruse once, otherwise it's shame on me.
