Ate takeout during COVID, and ate in restaurant twice this year….amazing stuffed lobster and the always comforting clam strip platter!

This place isn't worth your time the trouble. The food is nasty and gunky. Oil floating on top of broiled shrimp. Totally nasty and the wait staff is extremely rude. First and last time I will visit this dump.

It saddens me to have to write this review, but I do not want others to experience what I did if it can be avoided. Clearly, the Coronavirus pandemic has resulted in restaurants having to change their procedures to adhere to safety standards as per the state of CT. However, it is UNACCEPTABLE for a customer to be berated and disrespected in any way by any employee of the restaurant, let alone the Manager and a descendant of the original owner.
Yesterday, I called the restaurant from the parking lot to place my order literally 20 times, and no one picked up, so we left. I was determined to go to a restaurant that I USED TO love before driving back to NY today, so I called right @ 11:30 AM when they opened. I placed my order @ 11:36 AM, and informed Lisa that I would make my way over to the restaurant, as I was staying at a hotel in Milford (10 minutes away). I quickly checked out of the hotel, and arrived @ 12 PM - 15 minutes after she called to say that the order was ready.
As I walked in to pick up my order, I was immediately scolded for taking 30 minutes to pick up my food. As the timeline shows, her comment was inaccurate. With a puzzled look, I commented that the order could not have been ready for 30 minutes. She dismissed me, and said that I could look at the receipt, which was time stamped, and tossed it at me. She continued to scold me, saying that she can’t hold food because it backs up her kitchen. This also puzzled me, as my bag was the only one on the counter.
As a black woman in this white establishment with Fox News playing on the TV, I knew that it was important to be mindful of my tone. I took a deep breath, gave Lisa my card for $90 worth of food, and signed the receipt. During this time I got a call from my mother, who is a frequent customer. She asked me to describe the person who was being rude. She knew the woman’s name immediately, so I turned to the woman and asked, “Is your name Lisa?” She turned to me with a scowl and said, “We don’t give out names here.” She then turned her back to me and picked up the phone as it rang, not saying thank you, be safe, or anything remotely kind or humane. I picked up my bag of food and left.
If you are a person of color, think twice before spending your money here. I witnessed Lisa treat Caucasian people differently than how I was treated. From what I have heard from others who I have shared this incident with, apparently Lisa’s behavior is not new.
I grew up in West Haven, and my family and I have been going to this restaurant for decades - from dine-in, to take out, to birthday celebrations, to catered large events in their banquet room.
Today was the my last visit.
