Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Shelton

This was our fourth visit to Chaplin and they continue to impress. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, steak tartare, sea bass and duck confit. Everything was delicious and exceeded our expectations. The drink menu is thoughtful and we enjoyed a well made martini and manhattan.

we love going to terrain!!! we love walking in to the store and being overwhelmed by all the plants. the menu is always full of choices, making a selection challenging.....from the yummy complimentary bread and cocktails to the pork tenderloin and salmon...and finally to the cheese cake .....a good time was had by all!!!

As usual Artisan does not disappoint. It is consistently wonderful. Thank you.

Everything was awesome! We love going here for dinner or any special occasion

Our dinner with friends at The Essex was beyond expectations. Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and well paced. We opted for the three course price fixe and were pleasantly surprised by the appetizer course we were served before the salad course. At $79 per person the dinner was very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. Our first and main courses were outstanding. My strip steak perfectly cooked to medium rare and the whole table enjoyed the frites. The halibut and scallops along with the sauces and vegetables were excellent. Dessert choices were very generous although I hit my limit after a few bites of the baked Alaska. The menu was heavy on seafood which restricted our friend who has a fish and shellfish allergy. But once aware of that and a nut allergy, every dish was carefully adjusted for nuts. Dining at the Essex is a wonderful treat. We will be back.
