    Seafood offers a special dining experience in an exclusive harborfront setting. The view of the boats and peaceful marina adds a unique charm. The oysters were outstanding—fresh and beautifully presented. Ideal for a scenic lunch or elegant dinner by the water. Excellent food, premium location, and a touch of New England coastal charm. A place we’d return to without hesitation.

    Best atmosphere, food and vibes!! Perfect for a summer evening. Right on the water with gorgeous views. The shrimp cocktail, hamachi crudo, and ribbon carrots were our favorites. Everything was so great and beautiful!! The little market attached to the restaurant is also fantastic with lots of fresh seafood and cute little gifts.

    Just had my first experience here and I was blown away! Not only was the food and the atmosphere great, but they truly went above and beyond for me! As a new mom, this was my first restaurant experience with my 2.5 month old baby. They put us at a corner table to ensure there was enough space for his stroller. I then asked if they had a changing table in the bathroom, they didn’t, however, they immediately brought me upstairs to their private office and cleared a space for me to change my baby. Very grateful for the accommodation and for making this a seamless and wonderful first experience! We will surely be back!

    Rowayton Seafood Restaurant offers a truly delightful dining experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, parking was a breeze with the attentive valet service awaiting us at the restaurant's entrance, providing a stress-free beginning to our lunch. With a reservation in hand (highly recommended due to the restaurant's popularity), we were promptly greeted by the ever-friendly and smiling hostess and escorted to our table on the second floor, boasting magnificent views of the waterfront. The culinary journey commenced with dishes that tantalized the taste buds, showcasing some of the finest seafood offerings in the area. Each bite was a testament to the kitchen's dedication to quality and flavor, leaving us thoroughly impressed. However, it wasn't just the cuisine that left a lasting impression; the staff's professionalism and efficiency added to the overall dining experience. Our server, Arsen, deserves special recognition for his impeccable service. His knowledge, attentiveness, and unwavering professionalism ensured that every aspect of our meal was nothing short of perfection. In summary, Rowayton Seafood Restaurant is a gem that deserves to be lauded with six stars if possible. It undoubtedly ranks among the top five dining destinations in the area, making it a must-visit for locals and travelers alike. Conveniently located off exit 12 on I-95 northbound, it's easily accessible for those passing through. I eagerly anticipate my next visit and wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience.

    A great seafood destination... especially on a summer afternoon sitting outside on the deck. The lobster roll (Connecticut style...hot with butter) was a real treat. If you want a great place...try Rowayton Seafood... you won't be disappointed!
