    Amazing food always
    Sareth P.

    Haven't been here in a while, but decided to have dinner here on Valentine's Day. Everything came out amazing and delicious like always.

    Haven't been here for a long time. It was a beautiful fall evening and we wanted to sit outside. I recalled they had a very nice deck out back overlooking a brook. When we got there, they said there was a wait in the dining room but we could sit in the bar. We asked about the deck and they said it was available. We were just 1 of 2 or 3 tables out there on a beautiful evening. Anyway, food was solid, fish tacos and a lobster roll, and the company beautiful. All in all a very good night out!

    Pear and walnut salad

    We went in for a late lunch and shared small plates. The restaurant was surprisingly pretty welcoming and I like the openness of the dining room, because it was late we were the only one eating. We started with the lobster nachos it was different with wontons chips light and tasty, fried lobsters fingers were delicious, the medallions steaks with the sauce were yummy and tender, pear and walnut salad had too much dressing my husband also had the New England clam chowder he loved it

    Westbrook Lobster in Wallingford brings summer vibes to you! The menu is made for seafood lovers and offers so many different lobster options including the lobster nachos made with flour tortillas and topped with cheddar cheese, black beans, corn salsa, pico, scallions, sour creams and a bang bang sauce. Another favorite was the surf and turf burger with warm buttered lobster, gruyere cheese, lettuce, tomato and a lemon aioli with a toasted brioche bun. To wash it all down I had their staple beer called the "livin like Larry" Pilsner from Kent Falls Brewery. Then the waffle cone sundae was the cherry on the top with moose track ice cream, crushed chocolate covered pretzels, marshmallow and peanut butter sauce, and crushed Oreos. I would literally go back to order just this alone. Alex my server made the experience so pleasant with her friendly and bubbly personality. I had a great time and a great dinner!

    Indoors feels welcoming with the high ceilings. Food was quick and servers were very kind. The food was delicious and exactly what I was looking for as a healthy alternative for traveling.

    A perfect location after a show at the Oakdale. My family decided on a late lunch after seeing the Cirque Dreams Holidaze show. We were far enough away from the theater to avoid the crowds, but the drive to the restaurant was only minutes away. We were seated right away and in a booth that looked out over their patio. The restaurant was decorated tastefully for the holidays. The staff were friendly and attentive. To start, we ordered a Punch, Apple Cider Margarita, non-alcoholic beer & a Shirley Temple. We also decided on the fried calamari with peppers and marinara. It was tasty. Crispy, but not overcooked. My son even ate the peppers and loved the marinara..most of it made it into his mouth. I'm sorry to whoever had to clean up after him. My mother-in-law had the fish tacos and enjoyed them. My husband and son both had a burger with fries. The burger was on the larger side, so my son couldn't finish his. Of course I couldn't decide, so I put together the Crispy Salmon Bites appetizer and asked them to add them to a Caesar Salad. The only thing that would've made it better was a spicy dressing. This will definitely be our go-to after shows at this he Oakdale!

    Fried Seafood Platter
    Greg T.

    This place used to be pretty good. Covid destroyed it. They minimized their menu and have not gone back to a full menu like they used to have. Selection is much more limited but the price is high. Portions are way down also. Ordered the seafood Platter and it came with 4 shrimp, 6 scallops and about 10 whole clams. Even the fries seemed minimal and they were unsalted. Looks like if I want to pay high prices for more food I need to head to the shoreline. Wallingford is just not the place for seafood. Service was on point but the place was pretty empty and now I know why.

    Calm Chowder
    M N.

    This was a pleasant place to stop by at, in Connecticut. I heard they have $1 oysters on Thursdays so that's what got me to stop by the second time. I'm a lobster fiend, of course, so I had to enjoy one of their lobster rolls, good both times. I enjoy them hot, and the roll was toasted as well just the way I like it and comes with a side of fries, no complaints. The first time I ordered the oysters, and they were great. The second time on $1 Thursdays, not so much, a bit too salty the 2nd time around. The chowder is good here, they have two kinds, for those with a specific preference. Also, cannot forget the adult beverages, there is a full bar, so don't you fret. It was slightly pricey but that is expected from a seafood establishment. The atmosphere here is kind of, "sexy," so I'm assuming for romantic purposes this could be good. Low lighting and aphrodisiacs, what more could you ask for in your seafood. I was greeted fairly quick and the staff I have encountered both times were all fantastic, efficient and helpful if necessary. The parking lot is big, but this place can get packed, I lucked out twice in a packed lot. I would come back again.

    Surf Turf Burger!
    Jim S.

    Great service by people who are genuinely happy you are there. Surf&Turf Burger was absolutely amazing!!! Indoor and outdoor seating and no rush to finish your dining experience. Awesome place.

    Connecticut Style Lobster Roll
    Mif M.

    I saw the new Clinton location on local news and d discovered this location already existed in Wallingford. Glad I made a reservation since I saw a few people waiting upon entering (very spacious seat indoors). We had a really sweet and bubbly waitress and she took our order pretty quickly - however it did take 30-40 min for the food to be brought out. One unfortunate detail I want to point out is there were two bugs near our windows - which was pretty gross. Perhaps, some summer cleaning which is the only reason I'm taking one star off. Now coming to the food - majority was amazing! The Brussel sprouts had a nice sauce coating and the fried goat cheese tasted really good in the salad. I probably enjoyed the lobster tacos the most. The rice on the side was also super flavorful. The dark/stormy salmon dish was pretty good and clean, but I liked the rice from the lobster tacos more then the wild rice pilaf. Also, coming to the lobster roll, it was good, but I was also getting so full that I'm not sure I had a proper chance to taste it. I do wish it came with a side of coleslaw for something refreshing. The fries were bland and needed salt. Overall, minus the summer time (giving benefit of doing here) bug situation - the food was pretty good. I'd probably come again when in the mood for seafood and try out a new item from the specials.

    So excited

I ordered it medium rare but it came out rather well done, not pink at all. This seems to happen almost everywhere and the reason I usually don't get burgers out anymore. However, the burger was hand pressed and full of flavor. Good, but not great. Their sweet potato fries are really good though. My husband had "It's a Wrap" and is still talking in about it the next day. He wasn't sure what exactly made it so great, but he did really enjoy it. My daughter had the turkey panini and really liked it. My husband and I each had 2 drinks and for 4 meals, it was $125 plus the tip. Seemed mid-range. The atmosphere is your typical corner bar. It is a little tight. My daughter kept getting bumped into by some drunk guy but we were able to move the table. We like places like this, unpretentious with good food and good drinks. I was able to try a bourbon I had never heard of. I like that they have a bourbon of the day. We'll definitely be back.

Called a few days prior to see if we could get a table and they kept saying they were booked unless we wanted to come in at 10:00am.

So I called again and they said we could come at 12:30 which is the time we preferred (it was either that or 1:00 - can't remember the exact time). Upon arriving, the room down below appeared to be full, but there were many tables up top that were empty. Maybe there weren't enough servers to accommodate more tables, but it definitely wasn't booked up so not sure why they kept telling me they couldn't accommodate us at the time we preferred. Ambiance really nice - overlooking the golf course. We walked around after brunch around the cart path. Nice walk - even in the cold. I got the Lyman's Egg Benedict with gluten free bread and fruit on the side. Boyfriend got the Western Omelet with bacon instead of ham. Home fries very tasty however lukewarm.

Along with the diverse items for lunch, they also have a great beer on tap menu which includes their local cider. If you're in the area picking some fruits or vegetables, definitely stop in and have a beer and some lunch.
