The Essex - Old Saybrook

The food, atmosphere, service, and hospitality all rated 10 out of 10. Highly recommend!

Sat at the chef’s counter for a tasting. Had a fantastic meal, all four of us loved it. Accommodations were made for a pregnant member of the party, one of which was her favorite course! Colt and the kitchen team did a great job, and service from Peter was stellar as always. Threw the bartender Dillon a few curveballs, but he nailed every drink.

Our second visit and second time enjoying the five course tasting menu. An outstanding experience.

As always everything was perfect. Many thanks to Peter and Colt.

The food and service was fabulous. The best dish for our visit was a Tuna Crudo. Peter was a great waiter. You could tell the kitchen took pride in their dishes. Great wine selection as well.
