Rowayton Seafood

The Best Restaurants In Fairfield County, Connecticut - Fairfield County - The Infatuation

"There’s no place more quintessentially Connecticut than Rowayton Seafood, where you can enjoy a $36 lobster roll while watching Polo-clad locals descend from their boats onto the docks out front. You’re paying for the waterfront location as well as high-quality chunks of lobster, prepared either Connecticut-style or Maine-style. Skip the fries—they’re pale and under-seasoned—and instead, opt for the crispy onion rings or homemade potato chips on the side. Other welcome additions to your meal would be anything from the raw bar or the parmesan roasted oysters, which might beat lobster mac and cheese in the unlikely competition of “best rendition of hot shellfish with cheese”. Be sure to make a lunch reservation in advance if you want a table with a view, since this place gets packed, even on weekdays." - chloe zale, ciera velarde
