The At Rowayton Seafood - Norwalk

The raw clam is must try, very fresh great price $2 each, save your trip to long island , this is much better. Mushrooms risotto taste so good, the risotto cooked just about right and it soaked in all mushrooms flavor $14 side dishes Fish and chips .... The fish batter is very thin, fish itself fresh and just perfect. Fries is good and love their coleslaw too. One of the best Clam chowder is also decent with a big clam in it. Came in here after lunch hour, there's self parking across street next to the pizza place very convenient. Clean bathroom and nice atmosphere, would definitely come back again to try more items on menu.

This is easily my favorite seafood restaurant in CT. My wife found this place when she was invited to lunch by her boss and after one lunch knew she had to take me there. We have gone here just about everytime we want to celebrate something because it is very pricey. This is the kind of restaurant that has the most beautiful atmosphere but usually lacks in food BUT they deliver on the food here. Everything we have tried has been delicious from the clam chowder or lobster bisque to the fresh fish and desert. My wife and I always start off with some fried calamari (she likes the buffalo version) or sometimes we go with the clam chowder. For entrees she always gets the Linguine with clams. The portion is large but flavorful. It has a delicious sauce with lots of clam, crispy pancetta and a nice kick from the red pepper flakes. My go to is ALWAYS the barramundi Milanese. This is my FAVORITE seafood dish I 've ever had. Crispy white fish over a bed of fingerling potatoes, crisp green beans and the most delicious leek, lemon, caper cream sauce. It 's so freaking good. Trust me. And usually they have a Michele 's Pie option for desert. If you know, you know. Love this place. Service can be a little hit or miss but it gets busy so I don 't take it personally

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Restaurant at Rowayton Seafood, and it truly captures the essence of clean, waterfront seafood dining with its charming ambiance and proximity to their seafood market next door. The service was both friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. For appetizers, I savored the fried calamari and Pemaquid Mussels, both of which were fresh and delicious, leaving nothing but compliments in that department. However, while my entree of the Daily Special Grilled Red Snapper was grilled to perfection, I couldn't help but feel that a complementary sauce would have elevated the dish even further. Similarly, the lobster mac and cheese, while creamy, lacked the sharpness of cheese flavor that I was expecting. Despite these minor critiques, I would still gladly return to The Restaurant at Rowayton Seafood. However, for my particular palate, I would likely explore other entree options.

Rowayton Seafood has been added to my list of favorite spots for waterfront dining! The views were stunning and the food was equally as delicious. Their hot lobster roll is one of the best I've had, and the same goes for the roasted oysters. We ordered the clam chowder poutine because of how unique it was, and we're so glad we did because we fell in love! Stunning cocktails and presentations of dishes with exceptionally fresh seafood. All of the staff we encountered were very professional, and they even encouraged us to check out the fire pits and uncovered deck in the back for the best view. Loved the seafood market on the property as well. I can't wait to come back when the weather gets warmer to enjoy it Rowayton Seafood all over again!

I know why this was voted one of the best seafood restaurants in Connecticut! My only lower score (3-star) was due to the noise level or maybe my aging ears. A younger version of myself might consider this an indication that diners were satisfied and happy. We also had a delightfully attentive waiter! Of course, I can't forget to mention the Hydro setting and the care taken to adjust the flight schedule of the appropriate props (swans). Although I couldn't hear most of my group's conversation (maybe that's best), my overall experience was lovely.
