History of the Guilford Mooring Restaurant:

Built in 1836 and fashioned from native granite, our little stone building first served as a Guilford shoreman's place of work until well into the 20th century. After standing proud against the fickle waters and errant winds of the Long Island Sound for over a century it soon became home to a series of eating places. Now as the tides continue to rise and fall against our docks, gently lapping at 200 year old mortar, sits the Guilford Mooring restaurant. Our eating place results from the collective efforts of an eclectic group of enterprising individuals who share a common goal: to create a restaurant that successfully marries a poetic and genuine New England ambiance with an outstanding, indigenous and unique flavors of Nor' Eastern seafood cooking and have chosen to offer our menu in a bright, festive atmosphere. We offer a variety of signature items such as Steamers Anello New England Peppered Crab Cakes, Guilford Fish and Chips, Chicken Milanese, and the finest New England Clam Chowder you will ever taste. We start the dinner hour off with a bang every late afternoon by offering half-price pub menu till 7:00. (A half pound burger, char-grilled and backed with lettuce, tomato, pickle, a mountain of fries, and served to you amidst the sweeping panorama of the Sound for just $3.00!) We also have a scenic patio room that is ideal for events for up to 60 people. Chef Robert Anello serves as our banquet and meeting co-ordinator, and will meet with you to plan your event. You choose from our menu or, with the help of Chef Bob, create your own.
