    Dinner was excellent, the service was excellent, and the wine choices were also excellent. This restaurant is very cozy and quiet. It almost makes you feel like you’re in a quiet restaurant in Cape Cod. I highly recommend the Saybrook Fish House.

    I love Sally's and have eaten here at least once a week since it's opening. I visited last night and they brought our starters and dinner at the same time. This happened once before. I made it a point on a previous visit that I wanted them to hold the dinner. Other times that wasn't required. I am not sure if it is the staff or the kitchen that creates this inconsistent experience. I recommend ordering your apps first and hold off on ordering dinner separately if this matters to you.

    Although we had reservations we got seated with a little persistent kind of quickly. Unfortunately I felt really bad for the hostess she did as best as she could with what she could control. My biggest concern is that it’s literally been about 5 years since I’ve visited this location and reason being the place is over crowded to get in. I think for a well established restaurant that the management team would be more proficient. The  waitress we had was very friendly and lightened the mood from being frustrated. And with that said I really hope that Red Lobster can address and correct this matter. As I would like to return to my favorite restaurant. Sincerely Gary Wilson
