Best Seafood Restaurants in Cromwell

We really enjoyed our meal at the Halyard. We ordered several appetizers which consisted of calamari, squid, clams and the ricotta with honey. All of our appetizers were delicious. Compliments to the chef. We then ordered the chicken, short ribs and bolognese. All of our meals were so delicious. The short ribs were perfect for a chilly January evening. All of us were pretty full, but decided to try the desserts. Definitely worth saving room for dessert. The espresso creme brûlée is probably the best brûlée we have ever had. We also had the banana ice cream dessert which was fantastic. Definitely put this restaurant on your trip out east.

This was my first time dining here, and I can see why you need to make reservations days in advance. What impressed me the most was the service. Our server was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. Also, the culture of the service harkens back to fine dining experiences of the past. It just feels like a special treat or indulgence that justifies the prices. Right down to the glassware, and change of utensils with each course. The decor of the restaurant adds to that feeling. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. I also loved that you can make healthy choices with the main entrees, sides, and dessert, especially! How nice it was to have something simple like fresh berries with creme fraiche to choose over heavier desserts. And I appreciate that the berries were the star of the plate, and the creme fraiche was just an accent. Although, the decaf cappuccino I ordered could have been a dessert in and of itself...it was that good. Our cocktails were also perfectly crafted and offered some unique options.

Absolutely lovely! I had a wonderful birthday dinner there last night and from entering the restaurant, the drinks, the food and to the service was fantastic! I will definitely be back! The oysters were delicious and can’t wait to go back for more!

Just love this place, everything is always so perfect there. Service is always great, food is terrific. Ambience is always a lower roar.

Lovely visit, thank you. This was our third time visiting and we’ll be back again!
