Would be helpful if the server provides the associated price of the specials while reading them off to the customer. Would benefit the customer's decision making process. Or, note the specials on a board as was the past practice. Would save the server and customer much time .....

Since the club has taken over the restaurant the food quality and over all service has improved drastically. It’s nice to be able to make reservations on line. now that the wait staff has the iPads to take orders on, the wait time for beverages and the meal has gotten much quicker. I am disappointed that the antipasto was taken off the menu. We ate outside during dusk and the mosquitoes were strong maybe the club could hire someone to keep them in check.

The food was outstanding, the service was superb. Only room for improvement is that we felt bad for Jann the bartender. With a sold out day, an additional bartender would have been wise. It also took a long time to get our wine as a result. But overall thank you for a lovely day.

Considering that these are very trying times, the south Norwalk Boat Club is doing a very good job of serving its members while following all required health guide lines.
Only suggestion would be to have fewer chicken dishes and more diverse selections on the dinner menu. Also paper menus would be so much better and appreciated.

The Sea Bass was great. Jess was our server and was excellent as always. James’s drinks were awesome as usual. It was great to get out to dinner again at the SNBC. Thank you to the whole board for your hard work and creating a nice night out for us during these difficult times.

We loved the food and recently have looked forward to eating at the club. We were very disappointed the table cloths were gone- that was going in such a good direction to upgrade the room and the entire feeling of the club. Also a good thing are more waitresses. (waitpersons?) The AC was working, thank God.!

The clam chowder was cold. It was too salty.
Three people in our part had the sole and we all thought that the portion was very small. Too much arugula was used on many of dinners to give the illusion of a generous portion.
Bottled water was served in the bottles when we asked for water and when asked for glasses we were given plastic cups.
The food that we had was tastefully prepared.

As a member of the club we are so happy that we are gradually opening again. The food is excellent always to perfection . The service started very very slow but it was understandable given the circumstances. And now it continues to improve each week and last night was excellent. And the chef coming to each table is so important but not often done. We go to several area restaurants and in NYC and that is not common. Our only suggestion is a little more seafood on the menu (tuna, halibut, swordfish) given we are a waterfront community. And additional steak or pork chop options. Overall great food and great job

Food needs to be served hot from the soup, the entree, and right down to the coffee. Did not make for enjoyable dinners.
Why can’t dinners be priced more reasonable, it’s a private club not a restaurant.
The Penne a’la Vodka was not good.
You asked.
