The venue is not responsible for marketing and we had a pretty low turnout, perhaps due to the huge parade held today in downtown Stamford.

We are a not-for-profit cultural group that has hosted our last 5 events at this catering facility…read more We have given them over $250,000 in business. At our most recent event, they keep raising the price of everything due to the economy, we understood, they did not let us have extra time (even though we wanted to pay for it) because they had an event in morning, we understood. But while my guests were on the dance floor along with our children's dance group, the manager went and pulled the plug from the wall to the speakers to end the music because we were 1 minute past our contract time, that we will never understand!!! How disgusting is that!!!! Never mind the food always comes out cold and they robbed us!! They made us pay for extra meals and when the guests didn't come, I asked for those plates to donate to the shelter, and they said they didn't have them. Staff either ate them or took it home for themselves on our money. Stay away!!! Old management was amazing and human beings, this new crew is all about the money, really sad!!!

We recently attended an afternoon/evening wedding at Tyde. Our first impression was what a…read morebeautiful modern building, and right on the sound. The ceremony was outside almost on the water. What a view! There was a duet playing beautiful music before and after the ceremony. The bridal party and the bride walked down a staircase to the officiant. What a wonderful location for a wedding. After the ceremony we all went in, first for a cocktail party upstairs both in and outside with the magnificent view of the sound. The waiters were all extremely courteous and professional, and the bartenders made great drinks. There were trays of food being passed around as well as several stations. All was delicious with the exception of the mini lobster rolls. There was no more than a half teaspoon of lobster in each one. After the lovely cocktail hour, we were ushered downstairs to a beautiful dining room with a large dance floor. Again, the service was impeccable. My only criticism of the food is it was a bit sodium forward. Other than that everyone loved their meal. Whatever our hosts paid, they certainly got their money's worth. I would recommend it for your next event.

Outside ceremony: absolutely freezing, not enough chairs & couldn't hear a single word the officiant spoke. Inside/outside cocktail hour: again freezing & the hors d'oeuvres sent me immediately running for the ladies room with food poisoning! Inside dinner: very, very skimpy portions & cheap cuts! Who serves a 1/4 chicken (leg & thigh) at a wedding??? Worse than any of that... 8 top tables were set for 12! It was hideously uncomfortable! People were elbow to elbow & butt cheek to butt cheek with the person next to them. I could not move out of my seat without sliding my chair straight back, all the way out of the line of seats. When I was able to get out, I took a look at the room & saw plenty of empty areas where more tables could have easily been set up so that everyone was comfortable, not crammed together like sardines. In one of the more empty areas of the room, stood a table with small wedding cake, getting warm under the lighting, open for anyone to sneeze, cough or spread their germs/hair/etc on... for hours!!! (After seeing that, it's no wonder why the hors d'oeuvres sent me straight to the ladies room.) Long waits for the skimpy dishes! 1 hour from seating to salad course. 40 minutes between salad & dinner course. 50 minutes between dinner & tiny piece of warm, melted frosting wedding cake. Most people at our table didn't eat their whole meal & hardly anyone ate the cake. Worst time ever at a wedding/reception!!! (Note: in order to submit a review, you have to give at least 1 star. However, I would give Tyde at Walnut Beach ZERO stars!!!)

We opted for the inn side rather than the deck side, because the inn side has more entree options. We each opted for our own appetizers. Caprese salad, clam chowder and shrimp cocktail were ordered. Everyone enjoyed their appetizers very much. I had the clam chowder. It was rich, creamy and delicious. The clams were very tender and the chowder was loaded with clams and potatoes. For entrees, most of us opted for the hot lobster roll. It was overflowing with lobster and was accompanied by drawn butter, crisp fresh fries and a very tasty coleslaw. One of my friend opted for the sea bass. The presentation was beautiful and she said it was fresh, light and delicious. All of our cocktails were excellent too. I also must be sure to give credit to the wait staff. They were very attentive and I felt comfortable the entire time, as they were following all the guidance provided by the state. It was nice to relax and reconnect, in person, with my friends while enjoying a beautiful sunset. Such a gorgeous view from the deck! Thank you, Amarante's. We will be back and I'll be sure to tell my friends and family about our great experience.
