Reviews
However, the good feelings waned along the way.
It was a very busy restaurant without doubt but we were still a little unhappy when told some items were sold out as it was only 7.30 p.m.
I felt the food was pretty ordinary or perhaps my expectations were high. The chowders were diluted and I highly recommend giving it a miss. The portions were rather small.
Service was exactly what you’d hope for at a place with this much polish—attentive but unintrusive, with a team that clearly knows the menu inside and out. Whether you’re a regular or just stopping by for a seafood fix, Connie and Ted’s holds its own as a West Hollywood staple. Every plate that hits the table reminds you they’re not phoning it in—freshness and execution are the whole point here.
I love everything about this place. The food. Service. Ambiance. Design. It really makes you feel like you’re in New England with a touch of the West Coast!
We had reservations for Mother’s Day and arrived about 15 minutes before our time but we were seated right away.
We started with the halibut crudo. WOW. The fish was cut perfectly and the plate was beautifully decorated. And the quality of the fish was amazing. So soft that it literally pulled apart with the gentle tug of the fork. The fish was soft, light, and the pickles and citrus notes on top made the perfect pairing.
Now for the main dishes. The fish sandwich was simple yet perfectly executed. The brioche was light and fluffy. The coleslaw was crunchy. And that fish was so perfectly fried, the batter was light yet so crunchy and stayed crunchy while eating the entire sandwich. Fries were fried to perfection, crispy, crunchy, lightly salted, and tasted just like fries should!
The shrimp chilaquiles are seriously some of the best you’ll have in LA. Those chips stayed crunchy the entire time we ate through this dish! And the sauce had a robust, spicy, savory kick. It was cheesy and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. And those gorgeous yolked eggs on top were the perfect kiss.
Now the Lobster Croque Connie. Oh my. It might be easy to think “let’s just throw some lobster into a croque monsieur” oh no no . . . we gotta make it Connie and Ted style! The toast was light but so crispy and held it’s shape to soak up all the sauce. The lobster I think was just ever so slightly overcooked, like 30 seconds, but it did not ruin the dish at all. It was still soft and so sweet. Gruyere cheese for the perfect richness and that figaro sauce – basically a tomato hollandaise – was nuts. Not only did I run my croque through it with every bite, I used the french fries from the fish sandwich to dip it in the sauce too!
The best part – desserts!
The key lime pie was ON POINT. The crust was dense, rich, toasty, and oh so good. The key lime filling had pieces of lime – outstanding – it was smooth, tart, creamy, delicious. And that merengue – you know they toasted it to order because it was still warm when it arrived! I love that! Light, sweet, airy, amazing.
And that newly made special Orange Creamsicle Ice cream? Wow. Creamy rich ice cream, decadent caramel, tart orange and kumquats, and candied walnuts. The best sundae ever.
I definitely need to come back asap.
