Reviews for The Mattabesett Canoe Club in Middletown, CT
Beautiful place to enjoy their food at their patio. We had clam chowder, a hamburger and the salmon dish. We also ordered Piñas... coladas and red sangrias. Everything was on point. Our waiter was very friendly and polite. Read more
This restaurant on Connecticut River has been open for over a hundred years. Because of the mandated coranavirus closings, we... are happy for all states allowing restaurants to reopen with outdoor seating. Friends of ours invited us to have dinner withthem this Memorial Day weekend and we were glad to oblige. This is where we decided to eat after a fun drive in our friendsconvertible. Staff asked us to wear face masks only while walking around, not tabled, and if anyone didn't have one, theyoffered them for sale for two dollars each which would be added to the final tab. Our two friends agreed. Seating was spaced,and we were brought to the upper deck. Nice view. We ordered our drinks. For those of you who have read my reviews, I was happyto hear they had Myer's rum available and asked for one with club soda and lime. Our server came back to tell me they just ranout and so I picked the common Bacardi white, over the other CT bar favorite, Captain Morgan's spiced rum, as it's probably mylast choice. Everyone else was fine. The drinks had a good pour. Drinks and food are only served at this time in disposablecups, plates and utensils, so everything is plastic. Our calamari appetizer to share was so small, we had to laugh and eachpicked three or four pieces out of the bowl. It tasted fine, but we eat this all the time and there is often so much we canbring some home, however high the quality. I waved at the server to order our meals as none of us had eaten yet and it wasaround four. Three ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the chicken quesadilla. Our friend who wanted to leave after thecalamari dish serving, was glad to hear the server tell us the fish and chips cooked real fast. Still, it took awhile to getour food, but everyone was pleased with their dinners. The fish was haddock and my friends thought it was fresh. I had a tasteand it was pleasing to me. I couldn't finish my quesadilla, so I brought a slice home which heated up nicely. I hav Read more

I recently threw my mother a surprise birthday party and the Canoe Club and they couldn't have done a better job. Aside from the... professionalism of the staff and owner, the food was outstanding, and nothing beats the panoramic views. I highly recommend thisspot for your next party or even for dinner upstairs on a clear evening. Thank you so much for everything, Patty. You guysnailed it! Photos by Beth Zink Photography. Read more
My party was treated terribly. We made a reservation 2 weeks before, called one week before to confirm and they had no record of... it. When our party arrived we were told we'd have to leave 2 hours after arriving. Multiple menu items were not available,multiple beverages were incorrectly made. Beer and white wine were warm, a cranberry soda was flat. The lime served with mytacos looked like it was cut yesterday, with browning and shriveling near the cut edges. (Photo included). We were given thelunch menu when we arrived at 5 pm. The table seated next to us at 6 received a different, larger menu. We also were told therewere no specials, though the table next to us were told there were. Far, far overpriced given the poor quality of the food andthe poor management. Read more
