Good food, great burgers, warm service. Wine menu needs an upgrade.
You have to try the Chelsea burger. Best I have had in Fairfield county.
Overall the meal was wonderful. Calamari was delicious, garlic shrimp just and tasty. Drinks were interesting as well. The goat cheese salad was also a winner. However I was craving a Caesar salad and to my disappointment, I did not get what I hoped for. They give you leaves of romaine (instead of cut up) topped with a tasteless Caesar dressing and Parmesan. On the side is a piece of bread topped with tomatoes. I have had a number of Caesar salads and this one was the worst. I think they were trying to be too creative instead of going with a lovable classic.
Lobster Roll Review. Matt Storch is known for creative riffs on standard fare. But his take on the simple, unpretentious lobster roll? To our delight, Storch doesn’t outkick his coverage. His rendition is a heartfelt homage to the classical CLR he grew up with along the shore: a quarter pound of chopped lobster, slowly warmed in butter, ready for a spritz of lemon. His lone tweak: the bun. Its a sturdy, top-cut pretzel roll, salty and nuanced with umami flavors, but also built to soak up any excess butter without getting soggy (a roll problem that was fairly common at some of our stops. When buttering meat destined for a thin, hot dog bun, drizzle actually works better than drench) The playful plating promises a picnic. Just gaze at the colors and shapes on the plate: the warm, reddish hues of glistening lobster heaped high in the golden pretzel bun, the sea-green stack of citrus slaw, and a bag o home made chips burnished barbecue brown. You cant help but grin. And salivate. Tip: During the summer, Storch also serves a higher end CLR at Match, his flagship in Norwalk.
The ambience is great – lots of excitement and a lively crowd gathers for dinner on a Saturday night. We recommend the Garlicky Shrimp and Poppers appetizers.
