Wellingtons Restaurant is a chef-owned Eatery focusing on Italian and upmarket American dishes. This Restaurant has cozy casual atmosphere with outstanding service. The waitstaff are well-informed of their extensive specials and menu items. Fantastic appetizers offered here include items like Cajun shrimp with roasted peppers, tomato and mozzarella, French onion soup and stuffed mushrooms, calamari made two ways and my favorite Gorgonzola stuffed clams. There is a large assortment of classic Italian fare to choose from, such as pappardelle with chicken and a linguine with garlic butter.  Try the roasted half duckling with Chambord strawberry glaze or the peppercorn demi glaze sauce I had both outstanding! Their salmon special with walnuts and coconut encrusted toppings served over wild rice fantastic.   A well-run restaurant, bar, kitchen with a focus on service! I'm a fan! read more

At first I was concerned about our choice to have dinner at this establishment. The restaurant is compartmentalized into about 3 different dining areas. I felt a bit claustrophobic. Our servers seated us and explained the specials on the menu. From that point on my feeling changed completely. The service is outstanding! The attention given to the diner is of the charts. To start the meal they brought us some warm toasted bread. I am a sucker for warm bread. For our entrees I had the New York Strip and shrimp served with creamed spinach and mashed potato. My girlfriend ordered the pappardelle with grilled chicken and sun dried tomatoes. My son ordered the shrimp fettuccini Alfredo. We all loved our meals. My steak was cooked perfectly and the creamed spinach was superb. The pappardelle was absolutely delicious. And the shrimp fettuccini was perfect. Oh I almost forgot the dessert, we had a crepe stuffed with banana, three scoops of mocha ice cream with a chocolate drizzle, it was absolutely out of this world. The food and service was so good. We will definitely be back to try other items from the menu. Two thumbs up!!! read more

So a vegan walks into Wellingtons Restaurant... Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but the only thing bad about my experience was the establishment's unfortunately meaty name. Make no mistake, this isn't a hidden vegan paradise under the guise of an old-school steakhouse, but I was stunned by the dinner that I was served, right alongside my entirely omnivorous, rather picky family members. Our server couldn't have been more lovely, and immediately picked up the cue when I said I was vegan. She said that it was not a problem at all, and even went out of her way to make sure that there were no offending ingredients in my -dad's- side of vegetables when I volunteered to "help" with them. There's only one dish that is vegan as written, but all you need is one good option to make a meal. Though technically listed as an appetizer, the grilled vegetable tower is a genuine mountain of perfectly charred bell peppers, squash, zucchini, and portobello mushrooms, glistening with olive oil, a balsamic reduction, and basil. It's all very simple in concept, but brilliantly fresh and perfectly executed. I would gladly go back and eat this every day of the week, given half the chance. The punchline is that even though Wellingtons stays true to their roots, it's supported by staff that seem to genuinely care about both the food and the customers. Everyone walked away full and happy- Especially the vegan. read more

The food is as good as as I remember. The bartender Megan and the server Nisi were the most accommodating and knowledgeable staff. They knew exactly what was on every drink or meal, accompaniments and possible substitutions. Over all a great experience! read more

The food is too notch! The venue is small it felt like eating in a basement and the staff seemed really stressed. Looking at the menu online I was hoping it was going to be more of a fancier date restaurant than a casual family restaurant with lots of little kids. read more

Clarett lunch! Amazing food and service! Chris took amazing care of us and made the most fabulous cocktails!!!

A real disappointment for sure after so many years going there. Apparently when Sheri and her husband aren't there the services and quality of food really goes downhill! Our drinks were not what we ordered and ingredients were switched without our knowledge until we brought it to the attention of our rather thoughtless waiter! We had to request bread and tartar sauce for our meal and never got our coffees until we again hAd to ask. Fish was overcooked and tasteless. The only really good item was the stuffed mushrooms. read more

Menu is extensive. A lot of specials, but all told by server so be prepared to listen carefully. MUST save room for dessert!!! I ordered steak and it was cooked to perfection. Service was excellent. Definitely recommend. Was told to go during week because rooms are small and gets loud on the weekends. read more

Entrees are very gourmet, but delicious. A little pricy but the quality and quantity are there. The patio is quite nice however a tablecloth on the outdoor open weave metal tables would go a long way as would cushions on the metal open weave seats. We were approached for drinks before we barely sat down and then it took quite a long time to get our meal, I would say 45 minutes or so. It was not that busy. The waitress could have been a little more personable. I was there 2 weeks prior to this and waitress and service were much better. However, at that time I also thought tablecloths would be a great improvement. The tables being metal open weave design, I would think are difficult to properly clean. I did not put my silverware on the table. read more

Long time favorite in Shelton. Consistently very good. Pleasant staff and very generous portions. Be sure to have the Banana Crepe dessert. read more

This was my husband and my favorite date place, it has been around awhile. The food is always good. They have their regular menu and at least fifteen specials every night. We opted for the Thai calamari appetizer which was just the right touch of sweet and heat. I had the sushi grade tuna for my main course which was a hit but serving with an au poivre sauce was a huge miss, in my opinion. My spouse's NY strip with crabmeat was superb. We had the White Russian signature dessert. Still delicious! A definite must, they do it right! read more

We were a party of twelve celebrating a special occasion at Wellingtons, and were very pleased with the restaurant. It's a little hard to find at the rear of a commercial building, but once you enter, it's like you're in an private home that's been repurposed into a restaurant, though a little noisy as the place fills up. Anyone searching the menu online should be aware that there's an extensive list of seasonal specials, provided verbally by the server. I usually hate that, but he repeated the list several times, once directly to a one of our group who is hard of hearing. Service throughout was impeccable. Good-natured and casual, but very efficient. None of this "Who's getting the pork chop?" here. But ultimately, it all comes down to the food. And, although the menu is not particularly creative, everyone found something to like, portions were hearty, and there were very few doggy bags. The place was packed on a Saturday night. I don't know if I'd risk showing up without a reservation. All in all, a satisfying meal and a very pleasant evening. read more

The food was excellent. Service was great. The appetizers were very well presented. Dinner was out of the world. My wife and I had Salmon with rice and it was perfect. Great ambiance. We will be back. read more

We went to Wellingtons for lunch, 1st time out in a long time. We sat at the bar, Megan the bartender was so attentive, made a great French Martini. I ordered fish and chips. I was so impressed with the fries, the cod was so flakey and tender. Home made tartar, coleslaw. I was so satisfied with my meal. My husband ordered penne vodka sauce, absolutely loved it. Wellingtons has definitely maintained their excellent level of dining, thank you for a wonderful experience! read more

This place was so good. Everything we ate was delicious. Garlic bread fondue, thai calamari, tortellini florentine, strip steak (mashed potatoes were amazing). Our server was Kristen, she was so great! Can't wait to go back read more

Love this place! The staff is amazing...they know the menu,delightful and fresh specials. I had the Cod with a crabmeat topping with a light a delicate sauce. Really lovely! Sit at the bar with Carrie or Pam! read more

Extremely accomdating for vegans. My partner and I split the vegetable tower to start, which was delicious and not overcooked. Then, since nothing else on the menu was vegan, the waitor said we could create a pasta primavera. This was amazing as many restaurants have egg in their pasta (why?? so unnecessary and not allergy-friendly). Wellington's custom-made on the fly a beautiful dish with asparagus, spinach, peppers, broccoli, and beans in a garlic and oil sauce. Besides our vegan dishes being great, the rest of my party really, really enjoyed their fish and meat dishes. It's a great restaurant for omnis and vegans alike. Really recommend this place to accommodate a variety of diets! read more

My husband and I ate at Wellington's on New Years Eve. The meal was outstanding. We both had the Filet and it was perfectly prepared! Wellington's is our favorite restaurant. Although, it was a very busy night our waitress Melissa was a cool as a cucumber, making sure she took great care of every table she was assigned to......she had a great sense of humor and never appeared to be rushed. We will be going back in February to celebrate my birthday..... Angela Marshall read more

Awesome dinner service excellent and the evening felt like home. Will definitely be going back, been going there for a few years and never had we had a bad meal or experience. read more

First timer and it was a great experience! Customer service made the experience even better. Eggplant napalitano was fantastic! Caesar salad was one of the best I've had. Filet was cooked perfectly and as long as you don't mind rich, the Gorgonzola sauce was oh so good. I thought lemone chicken was just ok, but my husband loved it. Even bread and oil were amazing. I wish they had a drink menu and a better wine list. I recommend checking Wellington out if you haven't already! I will be a returning customer. read more

This is truly one of my favorite places. First we started with salads. Our arugula salad with beets and goat cheese was devine, and the caeser salad was nice and crispy. The steak was to die for, and the crab meat-stuffed cod was definitely my favorite cod I've ever tasted. read more

My wife and I think this is the best kept secret in the area The service is outstanding and the food is always good This restaurant is a throwback to a nice blend of fine dining and non pretentious menu There is enough variety to satisfy fish and meat lovers The baked cod special is a standout The desert menu is fantastic Highly recommend Wellington's read more

I come for the succulent rib eye but stay for that beefcake bartender Nate The way he shakes those craft cocktails makes me wish he was on the menu too read more

This is a nice restaurant with good food. I would go back on a special occasion. My husband really enjoyed his meal as well.

New to the area and a neighbor recommended to us to give Wellingtons a try for dinner. What a great spot! We went on a Thursday night and we were lucky to get two seats at the bar. Out bartender was great and made us feel very welcome; personality plus! Our appetizer the stuffed mushrooms were delicious as were both of our entrees, a pork chop special and chicken arugula. So very glad we found this place and will definitely be going back. Couldn't find fault with anything about our experience. read more

Amazing. The food is amazing. The service is amazing. Everything is amazing. Just go. Do it. Ask for Maggie as your server because she is ALSO amazing and we adored her and she is everything. read more

Good sized portions, good service, fair prices, excellent food. Best meal out in awhile.

Great food (especially the specials) and the staff is always pleasant. It's easy to get parking and if you order takeout, it's always ready when promised. One of our go to places in Shelton. read more

Wellingtons was not the way I expected from the reviews or their website. I thought would be a very nice restaurant with mood lighting, quiet atmosphere, and elegant feel. It really isn't. There is one room that is set up as a bar, a long and narrow room with tables, and some seating outside. The bar was very loud, and echoed into the smaller room where we were seated. And the ambiance is very plain and spartan, although still a step up from a diner. But the food was spectacular. Delicious, plentiful, and they went the extra mile to accommodate my mother who is lactose-intolerant (despite a chef who likes to add butter and gorgonzola cheese to everything). The staff was also excellent - friendly, attentive, and knowledgable. Overall, I am happy with the experience, even though it was not what I expected. I would recommend the place if you want a good meal, but you'll probably want to choose somewhere else for a "nice dinner". read more

My parents have known each other since they were 8 yrs old abs they are 76 now. They've been coming to this restaurant since it opened. They still love it here, sake owner. I love it! Can't say enough about this place. Love the staff and food. read more

Fantastic dinner for 12 people in a semi- private room (can be purchased as a private room). Everyone had a great time and the service was attentive but not overbearing. Would definitely go there again when I am in the area! read more

Great food. We had a special pork chop with Gorgonzola and cherry peppers. Also tried the chicken Milanese. Both were excellent. Food overall was 2 thumbs up. Nice wait staff. Restaurant decor was average, but the food makes up for it. I was told the chief is a fanatic about fresh ingredients, and you can definitely see that this is true. I will definitely be going back when I'm in Shelton at diner time!! read more
