Dinner before Goodspeed Opera House

Going to a 8:00 pm, Saturday night show at Goodspeed in East Haddam in a few weeks. Will be staying in Rocky HIll area. Not familiar with anything in that area as we usually stay closer to Mystic. Any suggestions for dinner somewhere between Rocky Hill and East Haddam? Need seafood and vegetarian options. Love Thai food, American/Seafood/Steak restaurants or even a nice Inn dining room. Don't mind an early dinner if it's not near the theater.

      Thanks for the suggestions! Several great choices. We'll have to go over the menus and make a decision. Personally, the Thai restaurant looks great!

        Typhoon is great (but certainly not upscale if that bothers you at all.)

        I think it's BYOB- maybe someone else could chime in? I remember going a couple of doors down for a bottle of wine last time I was there.
