5/28/2025: lobster Mac and cheese
Valerie R.

We went to lunch on Marker 37 for my husband's birthday. It wasn't a perfectly sunny day, but it was warm and a really nice day to be outside. The patio ar Marker 37 is covered, and has a nice view of the river, and the boats coming in and out of the marinas. The food was great, but our service was very slow!! My husband asked for "2 more minutes" to review the menu to order, and our server didn't come back for probably 25 minutes. It was busy, but not that busy. She was checking in on her other tables and then walking away without coming over or making eye contact with us. It was so bad that we almost went back to the hostess to ask to move to a different server's section! But, she ultimately figured it out. The side salad portions were sizeable for $8. I got the Mediterranean summer salad, which was great and loaded with yummy toppings like hummus, artichokes, tabbouleh, feta, and Kalamata olives. My husband got a Caesar salad and was happy with it as well. My tuna tacos were tasty, two was a sufficient portion especially with the tortilla chips on the side. My husband's lobster Mac and cheese was large, the Mac and cheese was creamy and good, and a decent amount of lobster. I'm glad, since I later found out MP was $42 lol. It was worth it for what he got. We were going out again later, so didn't have dessert. We will definitely go back again to try more of their dishes. Definitely call to make a reservation as it was pretty busy even on a cloudy Wednesday at lunch. Once the nicer weather is here, I'm sure it will be packed every day.

Mixed feelings... I was so incredibly excited to try this place that had been on my list for a year. I was seated on the patio with INCREDIBLE views all around me at 6:15. And then waited...20 minutes.... Nobody had greeted me at my table so I got up and went to the hostess stand (which I feel is absurd but whatever) and kindly said I wanted to check in with her because nobody has stopped by our table and it's been 20 minutes. She said she'd take care of it so I went back to my seat. Shortly after someone stopped by and we said we'd like to start with water and the calamari for now. Calamari came out like 10 minutes later. Still no water on the table as I'm eating fried hot peppers with my calamari app. At this point I want to order a cocktail and food and our waitress is nowhere to be found. Finally around 7 (45 minutes after arrival) our waitress came back and asked if we wanted to order. I asked if there was a backup in the kitchen or what was going on because we still hadn't gotten even water at this point. I was told things were backed up and everyone had come at once. We didn't feel confident we'd get drinks or food anytime soon so I politely said we understand but I think we're going to grab the check. After another 15 minutes of waiting for the check (which never came) and she never came back, we left cash under a plate at 7:15 (an hour after we arrived) and walked out. I have never in 30 years just had to walk out of. a place. Luckily there's a whole downtown of restaurants that will serve you quickly in Chester. In summary I'd say views are spectacular, calamari was good. If they could get it together this would be a top tier, unmissable restaurant in CT.

Calamari

TLDR; Beautiful location, great service, great cocktails, decent food. It was a nice day so we took a drive to find somewhere nice to grab a drink and some food. My friends and I had never heard of this spot but it checked the boxes for what we were looking for. They have a large outdoor seating area including some couch areas. Apparently these are a separate service from the regular tables. Because there were only two servers for the entire restaurant they said could not provide service for the area but we were welcome to sit there and order at the bar - so that's what we did. The house old fashioned is delicious! It has a nice oaky flavor and lasting cherry sweetness ( not too sweet! ). The bourbon smash was good too but the OF was better imo. We ordered calamari to snack on because we decided to go elsewhere for dinner. It was fine. Small portion, a little chewy and it seemed like it is not made fresh there. Ended up hanging at the bar and even tho the bartender (Alex) was swamped he still carried conversation with us, shared some laughs and made us feel welcome. Overall we had a great time. I can definitely see us coming back here to grab some drinks enjoy the views.

e was an adorable waitress and the fish and chips were literally the best my husband has ever had. It was a whole fish, very fresh and fried in a very tasty crust. You can't beat the outdoor patio with the view of the water and gentle breeze.Unfortunately the pork taco proved inedible . Besides being very fatty, the meat seemed to be sprouting hair! It was disgusting. The restaurant still gets 4 stars as they took the $18.00 off the bill and apologized profusely. I encourage people to come to this spot, but don't order the pork taco!

Best chowda I've ever had!

Are you sure?! Lobster time! Service was great. Food was delish. Good draft selection. Nice outside view of the (bay?) Lobster mac and cheese had alot of lobster chunks! Lobster roll also delish but a little on the small side. Fries were nothing special. Had a local draft in draft which was awesome! Ordered heinis bc the boys did and this trip is all about them. Glad we were able to sit out although it was t jungkook and jimins table

Staff was friendly, but unfortunately the food was very disappointing. The first time I went, I had a burger, and it was incredibly greasy. Husband had the lobster Mac and Cheese and said it was watery and not good. That was a while ago, so we tried to give it another chance last night and was disappointed again. The chicken sandwich I had was horrible. The sauce that was on it tasted like mustard and was terrible. I pretty much just ate part of the chicken alone, which had no flavor, and definitely nothing special. Family didn't like the pork belly tacos either. Lobster roll was good, and French fries were good. Probably won't be back.

I love this location. It's just so scenic and relaxing surrounded by water. The marinas are quiet now, with just an occasional boat puttering in. We were there on a warm autumn night with a full moon rising. It doesn't get any better than this for ambiance. Service both times I came, was excellent . So far Marker 37 hits the mark. My only suggestion for improvement would be to add some tasty vegetarian items to the menu. We ordered every vegetarian item on the menu. I ended up flavoring the pasta dish myself. We enjoyed our evening and will return.

Great patio overlooking the Connecticut River.
Jim L.

Great view, great service and excellent food. This gem is right on the Connecticut River and right next to a marina. Great views from the patio. For an appetizer I got the calamari. It's not easy to cook right. This was done perfectly. One of our table mates ordered a creative clam, corn and jalapeno chowder. The only negative about the food was the guacamole I had had turned and was not pleasant at all. Everything else was as near perfect as possible. PS our sever was enthusiastic about her menu recommendations. We will definitely go back.

We went here on a Friday about 2:00 p.m. The restaurant was semi busy with the bar inside where we ordered a beer and went out to sit at a picnic table on the water. Very peaceful, nice view and a perfect day for it.

Lobster and salad.

See all

I'm so glad I tried the deviled egg - that crispy clam strip was such a nice touch and being Ukrainian, the beet pickling is in my DNA! Excellent brunch choice for our Mystic getaway!

This ranks as one of my all time favorite dining experiences. We recently moved to CT from DC,…read morewhere amazing restaurants are around every corner. There were 6 of us for brunch and none of us had been here before. The Shipwright's Daughter rivals many excellent experiences we had and surpasses most. The staff was super friendly and did everything they could to make our experience memorable. The brunch menu offers a nice assortment of options as we had one member in our party who had some eating restrictions. We started off with both raw and roasted oysters, both of which, we some of the best we have ever had. I love Shashuka. I've never had it with tomatillos. This version is now my favorite. I enjoyed the play between savory and acid. I chose my eggs to be prepared over easy expecting the yolks to add the desired richness that tomatillos can handle without overpowering their bite. What set this version apart for me was the addition of the pickled vegetables. They greatly complimented the tomatillos with their own sweetness and acidity that made for a well balanced bite. Others in our party felt similarly, that their meals were so flavorful and so well execucted that it made for a superb dining experience.

We had the best brunch at Landing & Main today. The folks who owned The Wethersfield Diner come in…read moreevery Sunday to offer an amazing fresh brunch from 9 am - 1 pm. There were so many options...a French toast bake with warm syrup, warm apples in syrup, or sugar free syrup. Fresh made biscuits with gravy, or you could opt for the fresh homemade blueberry or strawberry jams, as I did!!! Breakfast standards like scrambled eggs, ham, bacon and sausage, and some of the best breakfast potatoes you'll ever have!! There was also a yogurt and oatmeal station with tons of toppings, fresh made granola, and the best triple clotted yogurt I've ever had! Don't let me forget the mini quiches, salads, or amazing dessert table with fresh baked desserts, as well as croissants, bagels, and mini muffins. This week they also had made to order corned beef hash made by Brian O'Rourke from the old (now closed) O'Rourke's Diner in Middletown. It was so good and even better than I remembered!! Brunch is $22.95 per person for all you can eat, and included coffee, tea, and juice. Cocktails are available for an extra charge. Service was warm and welcoming and the dining room was lovely! There is space to accommodate groups of any size. Do yourself a favor and check this brunch out as soon as you can! It rivals the best brunches along the shoreline.
