Lunch in the Old Saybrook-Westbrook area
We are driving down from Maine and my old college roomie is driving up from Milford, CT. We want to meet in the Old Saybrook area and then take a drive up Rt. 9 to Gillette's Castle, Essex, Chester and all the other pretty towns on the river.
We're trying decide where to meet, have lunch, and leave 1 car. We don't want to sit for hours or spend a ton of money, but would love some good CT chow. Steamers, clam chowder, that sort of stuff. I'm looking a The Back Porch, Lenny & Joe's Fish Tale in Westbrook, Vinny's Fish House, Bill's Seafood and Liv's Oyster Bar.
So waddya think? It will be a Friday afternoon, if that matters.
TIA!

I would also suggest Boom in Westbrook or Aqua in Clinton. Both waterside locations-- bonus.

Old Saybrook is most convenient to Rt. 9, Westbrook next, Clinton farthest, but all are on Boston Post Rd. (Rt. 1). All the restaurants mentioned above are good, but I would also add Jack's American Bistro in O.S. (down the street from Liv's). There is also a Boom clone in Old Lyme, just across the river from O.S. Lenny & Joes and Bills are considerably more casual than the others, and you are correct about Westbrook!

Thanks Don. I'd like to go to Lenny and Joe's just for a tshirt! We certainly don't want anything fancy, just good food. The best clams would be what I'd want most. We also don't want to spend a huge amount of time since we need to hit the road to tour the area. Any personal experience with Vinny's?
