While you're in Essex head into Olive Oyls (on Main Street heading down to the river on the left) for delicious store baked cookies, cakes and treats..also, good coffee...

How old are the kids? Lenny and Joe's in Madison is very kid friendly. Pizza Works in Old Saybrook has a very fun train theme. Taste of China in Clinton has great Chinese food and is good for a group.

Pat's Kountry Kitchen in Old Saybrook is very good for groups like yours. Lots of things the kids will like and a pretty good job on adult fare, too.
