Best Date Night Restaurants in East Lyme

We had a great night at the Griswold Inn. Love the singers! Thank you for adding a gluten free dessert to the menu - it was delicious!! (You did not have one last year and I was disappointed.) We will be back again next year.

Outstanding dinner, waitress and ambiance! We started with a grilled octopus appetizer that was so tender and delicious. For dinner my husband had salmon and I had swordfish- both exquisitely cooked and presented - the best meal out we’ve had in years!

As usual, dining at David Burke’s is always an incredible experience. I had the lobster tail and filet special. It was delicious and cooked to order. My husband had the sea bass, which was a light meal, but excellent as well. We also had a dessert martini flight to finish the night. It was a unique dessert, which was wonderful. I liked that they had a special Christmas Eve/ Christmas menu. Although pricey, I would highly recommend dining at David Burke’s.

Everything was spectacular, from the crab cakes to the center cut filet (I recommend the bourbon cream as the sauce). Service was great. We went two days before Christmas so it was not very crowded. Great place for a special occasion.

Everything was great. All 7 of us had great meals and there were no complaints as far as I remember. The ribeye was huge and flavorful. The mac and cheese app was very cheesy with a wonderful hint of smoke flavor. The seafood salad was very tasty as was the oysters on the half shell. I had the honey glazed salmon which was perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Service was also very good. Phenomenal experience overall.
