We also had a cup of the lobster bisque and NE clam chowder... both had a lot of flour in the broth, I guess to thicken it, and it didn't work that well. The wines we had were good. Really cute environment with a small sidewalk-adjacent patio and bar seating all over the interior. The service was a bit - I guess awkward? - at times but overall attentive and no complaints. We went mid afternoon and were the only people there.

My family has been coming to the Restaurant at Rowayton Seafood for years, and it remains our go-to…read morespot for special celebrations - this time, a birthday dinner that was nothing short of perfect. We started with the hamachi crudo - yellowtail dressed in ponzu with blood orange segments and crispy shallots. Absolutely delicious. The roasted oysters, rich with garlic herb butter, parmesan, and panko breadcrumbs, were another standout (and this is coming from someone who usually doesn't care for oysters!). For my main dish, I had the classic lobster roll, served warm with butter, just the way I like it. It was accompanied by a massive amount of fries. You can choose your side (fries, chips or salad), and you can also order it Maine-style (as a cold lobster salad). My dad thoroughly enjoyed the miso-marinated cod, which came with white rice, mushroom broth, edamame, and pickled carrots. As always, the seafood was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. Dessert was just as impressive: a rich lemon blueberry mascarpone cake, and my favorite - a bright, zesty key lime pie. The service was top-notch - friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The owner even stopped by our table to check in, which made the evening feel even more special. If you're looking for a memorable experience with exceptional food and superb service, Rowayton Seafood delivers every time.

We just happened to go on Mardi Gras night with a live band! What a great time! The place was so alive and everyone was singing. We stood by the bar and listened to the live band for a while. Then, we went to the dining room side. I had the Mac and Cheese with a side of fries. The Mac and Cheese was so good, I really enjoyed it. The fries were a bit too salty so I didn't finish them. My friend had the Cubano with a side of fries which she loved. I loved the vibe, the food and the staff. Everyone was super friendly and made you feel welcomed. I also saw they have Bingo every 1st of the month, brunch specials and much more. Definitely coming here again!

I personally wouldn't recommend this place or come again. Mostly because of point 3 below…read more 1) The presentation of my smash burger was terrible. The burger came all alone on a metal pan. Normally this is fine. But it was terribly presented lonely on a metal plate. I've had smash burgers before that had way better presentation (see Bar 140 in Shelton, who does this job on point). 2) Drinks. Terrible IPA selection, but at least they put Maine Lunch in a normal pint glass. The biggest issue is my wife ordered a couple Old Fashioned. The first was a "normal" sized glass (see pic) from my experience. She ordered a second drink that came out in a "mini" glass. It was ridiculous. It was the size between a shot glass and a normal Old Fashioned glass. I asked about this, see below. 3) When I asked about the smaller glass size on the second drink, the manager came over and said "the small glass is the normal size, you should be lucky they gave you that larger glass by accident" ummmmmmm hellll noooooooooo. I should feel lucky?????? No sir. The first glass was a NORMAL Old Fashioned sized glass. No way in helllll that second glass was "normal" size. She gets these drinks all the time and they all come in size of the first glass. So don't bullshit me..... The way the manager guy approached this is why i am giving a poor review. There is absolutely no way the second glass was normal size. I just can't accept that. It was a ridiculously small glass. Being put down like I don't know anything is not the way you treat people. You need to approach this type of situation differently.
