Seamore's Darien

"We arrived on what they described as a hectic night. I was enjoying the company so wasn't too upset about it taking 10 minutes to come take our drink order. Food was excellent. I got the skate with lemon caper sauce (FYI, don't expect to actually see capers, they evidently blend it or something). Delicious cocktails, food and the 1 dessert (churro ice cream sandwich) was delicious."

"Food is good. Seafood is my favorite thing and I was not disappointed. Everything I had was very fresh. The problem is that the bar area in this place is incredibly unhygienic. I would NEVER order a drink from here that wasn't just wine or beer. Any drink that has a garnish or even ice is a risk. It was so bad i would not be surprised if I later read about a food borne illness breakout to the likes of norovirus, e.coli. or salmonella. First off there is no washing of hands but I observed the handling of money, people's credit cards, and these Toast brand card swipe devices that everyone is touching to add their tips (and we all know people who visit the restroom and do not wash their hands) and this is what is happening while there is picking up of mint, lemon, orange slices, palming (!) the ice going into glasses and anything else you can think of that wasn't a straight pour. I wanted to vomit I was so disgusted but just decided to never ever order drinks here and maybe insist a printed receipt to avoid what is likely a petri dish masquerading as card swipers. Not once was soap and water used to clean hands. Regular germs are not a problem for anyone who will think I am being over the top. It's how most of us build immunity. Our environment is probably too sterilized today. But it's the 'bugs" that are found because of unsanitary practices (norovirus spread is an example) are not for immunity. This is a place that serves food. Not a daycare. In all serious what I witnessed is pretty scary from a health and sanitation standpoint. Again I would go back because the seafood is good and I have to pray the kitchen has higher standards because the health department would be all over that kind of lax attitude towards sanitation and hygiene, but I would avoid the bar, mixed drinks and demand a printed receipt."

"The atmosphere was so calming which is something we look for while dining out. The music volume was excellent, was able to hear my date when he was speaking. The portion sizes reminded me of Europe, no too much but just enough to be satisfied. Ingredients were fresh! Hostess and. Server were excellent! only negative was the dirty booth seat. They are covered in cloth but they looked a little dirty for me otherwise very clean place!"

"Happy hour 3-5 and they have 12 oysters for $18. Also the shrimp tacos were very good. Lots of seafood options and the drinks were well prepared. The decor has a nautical vibe !"

"My fiancé and I had a nice date night at Seamore’s! We were so excited to check out their first CT location, and it did not disappoint! The restaurant itself was clean and modern with an industrial feel, and the servers were professional and attentive. We loved their menu choices, especially the option for the Reel Deal, which my fiancé took advantage of. We thought the rosemary butternut squash spaetzel was such a unique choice, and it was delicious! All of the seafood was so fresh, and we were really impressed by the generous lobster chunks in the Mac and cheese. The churro ice cream sandwich was an awesome way to end our meal! Such a great restaurant to have in Darien Commons."
