    Like to place a lot especially because you can get half portions and the food price value is good. It was very noisy and the night I was there.

    We were delighted with our lunch yesterday at Aspen. The clam chowder was delicious, prepared in a well seasoned creamy broth, seasoned perfectly with fresh herbs , combined with the right amount of clams and potatoes. We highly recommend giving this chowder a try. We would say, it is the best in Connecticut! For lunch we had shrimp and fish and chips, both dishes were terrific!
