Reviews for Rowayton Seafood Restaurant and Market in Norwalk, CT

Can't say enough about the food, the drinks the service and the atmosphere. The entire experience was A+. From the oysters and... Tuna to the Fish Special and linguini with Clam Sauce, all fresh and delicious. Creative drink menu and lovely heated outsidearea added to the lovely evening. And our server Maria was a huge part of making our evening fantastic. Will definitely beback and highly recommend. Read more

First time at this restaurant. Clean, cozy, near the water. Food was delicious. Didn't give 5 stars because one of the waiters... was very rude, disrespectful, maybe he was having a bad day, but that shouldn't be an excuse to be rude. The lady waiter madefor it, she was friendly, made us laugh. Above all, I'll go back and enjoy a meal again. My appreciations to the Chef. Read more

Loved the fact they managed to squeeze us in for lunch on a Saturday at 1230. Friendly service. One of the best wine lists... I’ve seen ever. Tasty, delicious fish and seafood. Will definitely try to come back! Read more

Great chowder and steamers! The regular coffee was three or four times too strong. The cappuccino was perfect though.

Beautiful location and views with nice menu selection. Clam chowder had a creamy consistency and a smoky flavor from the bacon.... A little different than traditional clam chowder but very good. Crab cake appetizer was delicious, had lumps of crab in it andsauce was great. Cabbage slaw was okay. Fish and chips were smaller pieces which provided more batter to fish ratio. Batter wasjust a tad greasy but really nitpicking. Overall a great dish. Swordfish was very good. Plantain mash was the only item I didnot like. Lacked flavor and seasoning. Will definitely return to try other menu items. Cornbread side was good, toasted andbuttered but when you bit in the inside was cold. Read more

My parents and I had lunch at this restaurant on Father's day, and it was perfect. I didn't make a prior reservation, but they... were able to find a table for us anyway. The food that was served was delicious. Every fish dish was perfectly cooked and wellseasoned. Based on what we ate, I can definitely recommend Barramundi Milanese, Fish and Chips and Blueberry Pie for dessert. The service was also excellent. As far as parking is concerned, the restaurant has valet parking, or you can try to find a spoton the nearby streets yourself. Read more

Visiting NY from Seattle and found this restaurant while looking for a restaurant with good lobster. Parking was a little... difficult but valet was offered as an alternative. I highly suggest making a reservation, as both inside and outside seatingwere completely full, and stay to watch the sunset. The view and atmosphere were great. Free wifi is available but not reachablefrom the outdoor seating along the water near the boat slips. Everything was good. Surprisingly I enjoyed my crab“stuffing” (aka crab cakes) more than the steamed lobster and lobster bisque I originally came for. Read more

This is one of my favorite waterfront seafood restaurants in CT. The food is spectacular and it has a marina view to match.... There’s both indoor and outdoor seating and I highly recommend making a reservation since this place can get very busy on theweekends. We ordered the Minor Platter appetizer (shrimp, calms, and oysters) for the table and a couple bottles of the PinotGrigio. I had the Rowayton Lobster Roll with the truffle fries which was simply amazing and I highly recommend it. The roll isbuttery warm and it’s overflowing with lobster ????. You can choose an included side of chips, salad, or fries and I went withthe truffle fries which I also recommend. It also comes with a very tiny portion of coleslaw. The service is always friendly andI’m never disappointed with the dining experience. Bon appétit! Read more
