The Place Restaurant is a truly unusual outdoor seafood restaurant in Guilford CT where visitors dine outdoors while a crackling wood fire roasts savory clams, smoky lobsters, sweet corn and much more. Instead of chairs, tree stumps encircle bright red tables, decorated with a bottle of freshly cut flowers. One large menu towers over the dining area, allowing diners to see all their options as smiling waitstaff come to take their order. Also bring along any of your favorite sides to pair with your meal and make it a truly personalized experience! Open for the season by or before May 1st through September, then weekends in October. Weather permitting, call for details. Cash or check only, no credit cards accepted.
