Things To Do
Bill's Seafood Restaurant
Bill's Seafood is familiar territory to boaters who dock their boats in some the finest marinas on the East Coast, located in Westbrook, Connecticut. Outside, you will find picnic tables on the edge of the Patchogue River, and inside, a center bar/dining room with a nautical atmosphere is the best ongoing party in the neighborhood. When thinking of scrod, swordfish, tuna, big sweet lobsters, cherrystone clams and fried clams or their popular specials, Bill's Seafood is the place to go!
La Marea Ristorante
This is our favorite restaurant. Family owned and the best Italian food you've ever had other than your Nonna's Sunday sauce. Whenever we visit the O'Keefe's family beach house in Old Lyme, we always make a point to have dinner here.
The Essex
This boutique spot is an absolute MUST for any foodies. It skews expensive but we promise you will not be disappointed. Reservations as are a must as books up very quickly. Experience Modern American cuisine that draws inspiration from the land, sea and deep heritage of the Connecticut River Valley, alongside a legion of international flavors. The Essex marks the transition between old New England charm and upscale elegance; a time that calls for refreshment and rejuvenation.
