upon entering the restaurant, the waiter looked at us turned his head down told us there was a long way there was no empty tables. Meanwhile, we’re in a doorway looking a lot of empty tables. We decided to wait, we did get seated after a while. Other patrons were walking in and getting seated immediately , the waiter That did take care of us and bring us. Our food was very very nice. I really felt discriminated against and we were all the way from Illinois. No one should ever be treated like that ever again.

Lenny's- still a fantastic, solid choice for seafood on the CT coast. We ordered 2 batches of steamers- they were tender and very tasty! I tried an app of Clams Casino. Sorry but these are so small, and the breading was mushy and tasteless. Not suggested. The New England Clam chowder is rich, thick and delicious. I always add butter and it makes a 10 an 12! Order the melody of seafood casserole- scallops- tender and delicious. Shrimp very good. Lobster- couldn't find at first- not enough or big enough pieces- the shredded pieces had little lobster flavor. Understandably as they were in the casserole broth. Maybe adjust the menu to salmon chunks or a white fish and forget the little stringy lobster bits. Everyone else loved their dishes of fresh seafood. 10 out of 10 Lenny's. Oh and the

Now let me tell ya, folks — I’ve been on the hunt for the real deal when it comes to shoreline seafood, and I think I’ve just found another treasure to hoist into my logbook: the Indian Head Inn in Branford. I ordered up their clam strips — golden, crunchy, and piled so high they practically needed their own ZIP code. These weren’t your run-of-the-mill clams; no, sir. These were fresh, tender bites of the sea wearing the perfect suit of crisp batter. And as is tradition with me and the missus, we shared plates — so I got to set my sails into her fish and chips as well. Let me tell you… that fish? Big as a schooner plank, with a batter that was crisp enough to shatter yet light enough to let the sweet, flaky fish inside shine. The fries were hand-cut and honest — none of that frozen galle

What a great spot! Great views from the deck coupled with great food make this spot a winner. We stopped in on the way down I95, it’s a short drive off of the highway but well worth it, and instantly fell in love with the atmosphere and the staff. Then the food came, outstanding! We love lobster rolls and Lenny’s didn’t disappoint. Hot buttery lobster greatness and the fries are outstanding. We’ll defiantly be back probably on a drive with the sole purpose of having lunch there again!
