Feedback
Nestled by the water, this restaurant draws patrons in with its stunning views and lively atmosphere, especially during sunset. While some diners enjoy excellent dishes like lobster grilled cheese and mac and cheese, others express disappointment with the food's inconsistency, describing items like nachos and mussels as lacking flavor. Service can be hit-or-miss, with reports of staff being overly relaxed. Nevertheless, the addition of live music, an outdoor pool, and fun activities like giant Jenga and corn hole enhance the experience. With new ownership bringing fresh energy, it remains a popular choice for locals and visitors alike.
I dined there last night, Saturday. The waitstaff was okay, but they didn't check back to see if we were satisfied with our meals and seemed unaware that we were unhappy with the nachos. Unfortunately, the nachos are no longer a favorite of mine. They've started adding their own queso, which resembles gravy and doesn't taste very good. We used to come here just for the nachos piled high with cheese. Also, they charged $12.95 for the nachos and an additional $4.95 for guacamole, which felt excessive. The margaritas were pricey as well, served in an 8 oz plastic cup for $11. Perhaps the higher prices were due to the live band. On a positive note, the fish tacos were quite good.
I appreciated his "help" and set out to find someone else to take my order. It was frustrating to see him just standing there without being able to assist. Finally, I spotted another customer and thought, well, looks like we’re on our own to find our waitress. Thanks, Tony, for the warm welcome to Connecticut!
I enjoyed fresh Blue Point oysters on the half shell, along with a delicious bowl of lobster bisque. Both dishes were excellent. The bartender was friendly and attentive, and the view was absolutely stunning.
Last night ever was 2 days ago. End of an era !
I absolutely adore this place! I heard that new owners have taken over, and I sincerely hope they don't change it too much. The menu features fantastic options like lobster grilled cheese and lobster ravioli, along with great drinks, live music, and a stunning view—make sure to visit for the sunset! This has become a wonderful spot that I plan to return to every summer. Thank you, Sunset Ribs team!
