Lunch on the Connecticut Shore: Lenny and Joe's Fishtail

We have been having unseasonably warm weather here in Connecticut. December is not usually time to be out and around without a winter jacket. Signs of Christmas are in the air and we decided we wanted to enjoy the sunshine in Westbrook at Lenny and Joe's. 

Nothing beats walking in on a sunny afternoon when there are hardly any patrons in the restaurant. It was 2 p.m. which explains the lack of crowds. The restaurant is decorated for the season and service as usual was fast and friendly.

We were soon seated in our booth and laying into a warm loaf of bread with butter. We both ordered a lunch combination that offered a choice of two fried seafood options and two sides. 

I choose the scrod and calamari and Al had the scrod and shrimp. We both chose the boiled potatoes and coleslaw. 

Faster than you can imagine we had generous portions in front of us with cocktail and tartar sauce to round out the meal. 

They have the best boiled potatoes and coleslaw, not to mention the scrod. It was snow white inside and cooked to perfection. The calamari and the shrimp were good but not as good as the scrod. Usually I like to get the crab casserole which is divine but I was taking advantage of what I thought was a great deal, $12.99. 

By the way, if you need any gift cards, from now until Christmas they are 20 percent off.  We took advantage to get a grab bag gift. 

If you are looking a relaxed and delicious seafood meal on Route 1, I highly recommend Lenny and Joe's.
