Rowayton Seafood is a favorite year-round, but especially in summer, it's an idyllic waterfront dining spot. The relaxed yet upscale ambiance gives me the feeling of being at my favorite restaurant in Chatham, Cape Cod, right here at home.
They serve the freshest seafood, whether you're in the mood for grilled catch of the day or their amazing, battered fish and chips and offer steak options for those seeking land over sea. Their cocktails are fabulous, and the service is always top-notch. I've never had a disappointing meal there, which is why it's my go-to for a relaxed Sunday evening dinner after a busy weekend of showings or for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, or graduations.
Whether you're coming from the beach, docking your boat, or simply seeking an elevated dining experience with stellar water views, Rowayton Seafood in the charming waterside village of Rowayton offers a destination that caters to a wide audience and a variety of palates. It is located in close proximity to these beautiful homes, 143 Rowayton Avenue, C and 143 Rowayton Avenue, B.

Townhouse in Greenwich, I think, is sometimes overlooked since it’s not on the strip but it’s really very good.
Kawa Ni in Westport is extremely creative and very delicious.
Oko in Westport/Rye offers sushi with incredible bites
Tsuki Sushi in Greenwich is extremely overlooked because it’s on Putnam Ave. Their Omakase Bar is incredible.

Sunset Grille in Norwalk - It’s on the water and so relaxed and casual. The food is good but the marina atmosphere, fun drinks and live music are perfect for a summer evening.
