Lenny & Joes vs. Bill's Seafood, Westbrook
Excellent feedback and much appreciated! I live in the Albany, NY area and thanks to your help, I won't be flying blind!
Lenny & Joes vs. Bill's Seafood, Westbrook
Which is a better dining choice for the six adults and six kids who need somewhere to go for a 40th birthday party this Sunday: Lenny & Joe's Fish Tales in Westbrook or Bill's Seafood in Westbrook? My wife, whose birthday it is, loves fried clams, as does my 9-year-old daughter.
Nice fried clam dinner (in winter) in Hartford area and in Old Saybrook area
All of this help is excellent, thank you...and it sort of confirms what I was planning: On our way through the Hartford area we're going to stop for dinner Saturday at the Saybrook Fish House in Rocky Hill...then Sunday early afternoon we're going to have a birthday dinner for my wife at Lenny and Joe's Fish Tale in Westbrook. 'Cause my wife and daughter like fried clams...and those two places have them. Unless someone has a better suggestion...

Thanks. Tinkers may be a bit too, too casual. But Chowder Pot looks like a good possibility. I wonder if I should opt for the Chowder Pot in Hartford over the Saybrook Fish House in nearby Rocky Hill????

Thanks...Tinkers may be a just a bit too, too casual...but I checked out the Chowder Pot web site. Looks like a good possibility. (not sure if I should stick with. Not sure if I should stick with Saybrook Fish House in Rocky Hill or switch to the Chowder Pot.
Nice fried clam dinner (in winter) in Hartford area and in Old Saybrook area
We'll be traveling from southwestern Massachusetts next weekend, going just south of Hartford then getting on Route 9 in New Britain to go over to Old Saybrook. I'm looking for a place my wife and two daughters, ages 4 and 9, can stop for a nice fried (whole belly) clam dinner Saturday night on the way or once we get there. Prefer not too fancy or too upscale. I currently have reservations at the Saybrook Fish House in Rocky Hill (near Hartford). Any better suggestions? Johnny Ads in Saybrook will be closed by the time we get over to the coast. Then, we may be looking for a nice fried clam dinner over in the Old Saybrook vicinity (or a neighboring town) early Sunday afternoon for my wife's birthday party (6 adults, 6 kids). Someplace "nice" for her birthday would be nice, but again, not too upscale. I'm thinking Lenny and Joe's Fish Tale in Westbrook 'cause I can't find anyplace else that's going to open around 1:30-ish and serves fried clams (no fried clams at the Hideaway, Boom, Doc and Dine, Aspen, Penny Lane Pub or S&P Oysters in Mystic). Am I missing someplace?
Where around Old Saybrook for small birthday party?
It's going to be Sunday early-to-mid-afternoon and I'm thinking more along the lines of lunch/dinner...definitely not brunch...definitely need something more than simply burgers and tacos...something special and memorable in terms of setting and/or ambiance and/or food, but nothing super fancy-schmancy (there will be six kids uner the age of 10) or really expensnive, since I'm picking up the tab for six to ten adults. I'm open to suggestions on cuisine...not wedded to anything.

Don't know anything about the area, but I need to find a restaurant in the Old Saybrook, CT area (a nearby town would be fine) for my wife's 40th birthday party on Sunday, Jan. 25. Needs to be relatively kid friendly, reasonably priced but still "special." We're looking at six to ten adults and six kids ranging in age from not quite 2 to 9. Don't necessarily need a private room...a big table or two would work as well.
Anniversary Dinner...with young kids!
My wife and I will be celebrating our 10th anniversary next Friday evening (Aug 22) in Montreal and we're looking for a memorable, special place...but with the "catch" that it would have to be appropriate for our 5 year old daughter and 9 year old daughter as well, since they're coming with us. So elegant, romantic, super-fine high-end gourmet dining is probably out of the question. I'd love recommendations for a "neat" place that my wife and I won't soon forget...but also one that one where our kids won't feel out of place (their tastes tend to run along the lines of chicken nuggets, burgers, pasta and pizza). Thanks!
