Guilford Mooring Seafood

Reviewed By Scott M

I planned a retirement gathering for a colleague and it was spectacular. From the booking, to the actual event, everything was perfect. They gave us our designated area that was great and served the food we ordered on-time and amazingly prepared. The location of this event was new for my group which fueled more people to attend than originally anticipated. This was not an issue and when I needed to order more food the mangers took charge and worked with me. Gluten free and vegetarian needs were met as needed with no hesitation by the staff. We never felt rushed and our retiree was extremely happy with our location choice. They even insisted on us taking the leftovers home. They could not have done anything to make this event more memorable and special.

We have been going here for years. The meals here have always been well portioned, consistently great, and the staff has always been friendly. Highly recommended! Our favorites are the Irish nachos (waffle fries with corned beef, cheese, jalapeños), the homemade chips with house made aioli dip, the cheeseburger wrap, and California panini. Also you MUST try their house made honey mustard and also the house made hot sauce. They also have Sam & Oliver sauces, made by a company based right here in Guilford. Awesome beer selection is always rotating and can be viewed on the BeerMenus app! Great for families with kids too.

Sunnyside Up

Reviewed By daddi0s

This is a good stop for a simple breakfast which they are able to do. The place only has a dozen or so tables but the waitress did not seem particularly attentive to this lone diner. She seemed more engaged with socializing with regulars rather than making a new one. My simple diner-like eggs and home fries were fine as was the coffee.

Guilford Lobster Pound

We specialize in a fresh caught steamy lobster roll made to order. Also fresh clam chowder made daily, homemade stuffed clams. Not in the mood for seafood? Grab a nice hot dog by the sea and enjoy the view on our award winning deck overlooking the beautif

Reviewed By TDRANCH15

Better plan on spending some money for a group of four. Skip the stuffed clams. Too much mushy breading and barely any meat in it. The lobster was good and tasted great. Good amount of butter. Just wish I could have gotten it whole. Also skip the soup. Not worth it. But we are trying it every place we go and this would be on the bottom of our list for flavor.

The Marketplace

Reviewed By Al-Sue-Maine

It's a large place with a whole variety of foods, and activities (restaurant, grocery shopping, etc). Very good deli section, soups, salads and great sandwiches. The people are friendly and helpful (which is good, as the system can be a bit confusing). We like it for lunch, and we'll go back.

We love South Lane Bistro--the ambiance is cozy and comforting, the service is warm and welcoming and the food is consistently wonderful. Our favorite is the grilled salmon sandwich on brioche bread--it is absolutely perfect every time. The wine list is good, too.

...this place has been around for as long as I can remember, and every now and then they mix things up and make a HUGE improvement. This visit was no exception. The ingredients tasted extremely fresh (especially the hamburger). The fries are crisp and hand cut. The atmosphere continues to be comfortable and homey, the service is quick and friendly.

The Place

Reviewed By TeamFord83

We saw a story on the Food Channel about The Place and wanted to try it. Drove from Pittsburgh, PA to Guilford, CT for dinner. We weren't disappointed! Grest, casual outdoor restaurant with stumps for chairs. We had the lobster, clam special, shrimp, vegebob and the classic New England Birch Beer. Everything was fantastic including the service. It will be our stop on future New England adventures. Life is all about adventures and experiences and The Place gets 5 stars from this family.
