Salmon
Vicky B.

Came here for a celebratory dinner and had a wonderful experience! Great food (I enjoyed the salmon), and great service. Their menu is large enough where anyone can find something they like. Highly recommend!

Mia A.

The best! Always love coming here; I have never ordered anything I didn't like. The service is relatively fast and the staff is very pleasant.

Calamari and eggplant stack

Came tonight (10/3) with my husband and another couple. Everything from the service, the drinks and the food was superb. Our waitress was so kind and excellent! We are staying at my mother in laws house in Shelton for a few weeks, so it was our first night out for dinner since our first child was born 3.5mo ago. We had a great night and meal. It's only my second time at Wellington's but I would (and will) definitely return again!

Hadn't been here in many years since first married so decided to revisit for our anniversary. Same great quality all around. Food and service was great. They even did a special dessert for our anniversary. They made it a very special night.

Food was delicious as always and service was fantastic. Completely cozy and we were able to enjoy our conversations without it being a loud atmosphere. Truly enjoyed our meal and dessert.

With all the June bdays between family & friends in the month of June it was only a matter of time before we got around to 1 particular groups fav - Wellingtons. I had never been; heard from many that meals were very good so I was certainly looking forward to it but our 1st challenge was finding the place. Huntington center is a small oasis with some of its commercial real estate sequestered on one side with a shared parking lot with 3 different entrances. Before I navigated into the lot we searched for the restaurant's street signage but didn't notice any. We eventually found the restaurant ( still no signage ) at the far end, off by itself with an outside patio area fronting the door to the restaurant itself. Our Saturday late afternoon table reservation for 445 pm was for an early dinner but we weren't the only group present as the smallish 1st dining room had diners seated & the bar side in an adjacent room was buzzing with laughter & chatter. 1st impressions: Wellingtons interior & redolence has seen better days. A lover can overlook a lot of things but for me our 1st date was starting out a little rocky. Our server was energetic & bouncy. We ordered Caesar Salads & Shrimp Cocktails & enjoyed these starters very much. While waiting for our entrees, the 2nd dining room filled up pretty quickly & wait staff grew proportionately to the volume of customers ( a good thing ) as did the noise level. When our Entrees arrived we were immediately impressed with the generous serving & attractive presentation. Our Sole Milanese & Linguine & Shrimp pasta were outstanding. When it was time to pay the tab our server brought us one tab when 2 would have been more appropriate. One individual at our table had ordered take out to go for a home bound family member. The server essentially tabulated the take out bill on one side of the check & the other side of the check consisted of some strangely coded itemization of our in-house consumed meals that was impossible to decipher. We didn't need separate checks because 1 couple picked up the tab for the rest of the table for the entire in-house meal - but Wellingtons lost points because of sloppy check presentation & insufficient detail. We also had to ask for our customer copy of the receipt. Wellingtons has been serving a local community fine food for many years. That it hasn't reinvested into a few upgrades is probably a business decision based on customer sustained loyalty over the years & the old adage: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Penne Alla Vodka

My best friend and I went to Wellington's on a Friday night. We had early reservations so when we arrived there were not too many people in the restaurant. As we began eating, more people arrived and it did get pretty busy, so I would recommend making a reservation. The place is also quite small so even on an off-night I would recommend making a reservation. To start, we both ordered French Onion Soup. I am a sucker for a good french onion soup and Wellington's did not disappoint. It was full of flavor, just enough cheese and the onions hit the spot. I truly think I could eat Wellington's french onion soup every day. For entrees, we both ordered Penne all vodka, i got chicken in mine which was a whopping $8 up charge. I thought that was crazy for a few pieces of chicken, but it turned out to be worth it because the pasta was delicious. Overall, we really enjoyed Wellington's. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was great. We will likely be back!

Pistachio ice cream. Great art work with the raspberry drizzle.
Jatina G.

Our dinner and service did not disappoint us. The salmon and tuna dinners were great. Wished we'd taken pics of them before we started but did get one of the dessert, pistachio with pastry and whip cream.

Nice fine Italian Champagne
Alex J.

It was our first time at this place. Been living in Shelton for two years now and I've heard the hype in great reviews of this place and want to give it a try. Being from New Orleans, My food expectations are always high. The portions were great and the food was excellent. I had the clams Gorgonzola as an appetizer and the Gorgonzola pork chop for an entrée. It was very tasty and I ended up bringing half of my entrée home. Wife had the fried calamari i and the chicken gorgonzola and it was great as well. There's a lot of dessert options and with my next time I will try one the wait staff was great and a true Shelton gem.

Lovely addition to our celebration at Wellington"s

I cannot believe what a beautiful restaurant is available to us here in Shelton. We had lunch at…read morethe Spotted Horse for the first time in January and it has become our Favorite Place! The restaurant is so very cozy and warm. The fireplace is gorgeous. Our servers especially Jenna are kind and attentive. The food is extremely good, I love the Mussels Fra Diablo. Served with a generous amount of toasted Rustic bread . A real pleasure. We went tonight and after dinner stepped out onto the patio for a Reggae band who were rocking the house!! Tonight I enjoyed the Sirloin steak special dinner with mashed potatoes and broccoli . The steak was perfectly cooked and could be cut with a butter knife...that tender. Go to the Spotted Horse and ENJOY Doreen Jurgens

The restaurant is very clean and nice--not too overwhelming in terms of lighting and music. The food came fast. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing (to no fault of the waitress of course). We ordered the beef empanadas, the truffle burger, and the barnyard burger. The empanada crust was burnt and hard, with barely any actual filling. For $15, we were given 2 tiny empanadas. The truffle fries barely had any truffle flavor and the sweet potato fries were overdone. My truffle burger was soggy, with not enough bread and pretty much no flavor. Overall, overpriced for not very good food. The sink water was freezing cold. Maybe today was just a bad day for them, but I wouldn't come here again.

We came here on a whim because wings sounded exactly like what we wanted. Honestly, we were torn…read morebetween two places, but as soon as I saw the fun, flavor-packed menu, I was sold. This was my first time here, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It's a cute little dive bar tucked into the hillside. The parking situation wasn't great, but we found a small lot nearby, so it worked out perfectly. We were greeted right away and sat at the bar. I was surprised there was just a menu for the wings just two full pages--everything sounded so good that choosing was the hardest part. We ended up ordering three different flavors (six wings each). Caramel Soy (my pick): I knew this was going to hit, and it absolutely did. If you've ever had Korean fried chicken with a soy glaze, it had a very similar flavor profile:savory, slightly sweet, super addictive. The best part? It came with a fluffy dipping sauce. So fun. The wings were crispy and tender, easily my favorite of the night. Hot Garlic Butter (my girlfriend's pick): This one leaned more toward a classic buffalo-style sauce. Delicious, with chunks of garlic throughout. Not the most adventurous flavor, but exactly what we needed for a little spice. These wings were more heavily coated, so the skin wasn't quite as crispy, but the flavor held up. Solid 8-9/10. Cilantro Lime Tahini (our mutual pick): A bit out there for wings. I liked the flavor, but it felt better suited for a salad than chicken. Definitely our least favorite, but still not bad. 6.5/10. Overall, we'll be back--I want to try all the flavors!

I ordered the Parmesan Butter Bacon Garlic Burger, which was good overall, but not exactly what I…read moreexpected. I thought the parmesan butter bacon garlic sauce would be more of a sauce, but it ended up being more of a spread. Still a solid burger, just different than what I had in mind. For wings, I got the peanut butter and jelly wings, which were served with fluff, and they were so good and so unique. Definitely something I've never had before and absolutely worth trying. My boyfriend ordered the blue cheesy bacon wings, which were good, although they seemed to have no bacon. He also tried the classic hot wings, which were solid as well. I really enjoyed the laid-back vibe here and would definitely come back to try more of their crazy wing flavors -- there are just so many to choose from.

Happy to have a diner in this area. It's a great spot! Cute little diner. Very clean and the staff…read morewere great. There's a lot of good options on the menu, I ordered the cheese steak wrap with french fries. The wrap was good. It had good flavor. The only thing I would suggest is more meat. There was way more lettuce than meat. Also, the cheese wasn't melted. The fries were really good. I loved the cole slaw, just wish a bigger portion was served. We had a great lunch. I will definitely be returning.

I have been ordering from Riverside dinner about 5 times a week for 1,5 to 2 months now. I work…read morenights and I order it on my way home and it arrives a few minutes or so after I do. I'm a big breakfast person and actually I get eggs for my dog as well but he is not as fussy as I am. I had one order I was not thrilled with but besides that one time dozens of other orders have been perfect. Try and find someplace with delivery that can come close to that. Over medium eggs are exactly that. Not over cooked and not over easy. Many places don't get that part. The bacon is high quality and always crispy not under cooked and rubbery as I have received from other restaurants . They are generous with home fries and hash browns which ever you choose as well as condiments. I have never been to the store so I cant speak to that but their food is fantastic.
