Sandpiper Restaurant 161 Cosey Beach Avenue, East Haven, CT 06512

"Great food and friendly service! Highly recommend!"

"One of the coldest days of the year but inside the Sandpiper, it looked and felt like summer! Loved it. A lucky find on our way home from NYC. The warm lobster rolls hit the spot. We hope to visit them again when we can enjoy the lovely patio and feel the ocean breezes."

"We took an last minute trip to East Haven for a weekend. A great, sleepy little town on the coast of the Long Island Sound. Not much to do here, which is what we were looking for. Our first night in town we had dinner at Sandpiper, which we found while walking down the road. The ice cream shop on the shore side threw us for a moment, but then realized the restaurant entrance was in back. The atmosphere was great! Very quiet even though the dining room had quite a few guests inside. The decor was simple, but you certainly get the nautical theme. Our server, Alexis, was very pleasant and friendly. She gave us plenty of time to look through the menu, which all sounded good. The only thing she missed, was the fact she did not let me know that the dish I ordered had enough food to feed 3!! It was HUGE! I had a fried combo platter, with shrimp, clams, scallops, scrod over fries. Yup....fried on fried on fried!!! And it was fantastic! I would definitely recommend this restaurant if ever in town."

"Based on reviews I’ve read prior to the visit, I had high hopes for this place. Perhaps it is not a fair comparison other than their proximity to one another but Lobster Shack down the street had far better food and service but was little more pricey. When it comes to seafood, however, I’d rather pay more to get fresh, well prepared items instead of feeling like I just had mediocre lunch."

"Customer service from Tristan was 15/10. Quality of food 15/10. I recommend the calamari and New England chowder for apps, the steamed whole Lobster and steamers and or just the lobster were delicious. Dessert was recommended to me black raspberry chocolate chip ice cream. Im a new girl in this town and did not disappoint as my first restaurant in East Haven wow."
