Rustic Southern Italian kitchen with strong influence from Tuscany. All professional staff with over 30 years experience."It is most certainly a gourmet establishment with a menu from top to bottom that is exquisitely creative with tastes and flavors and choices that make selections so joyously difficult--and with a wine list to match food and pocketbook. Consider this the now best Italian restaurant in the state. Three cheers for Biagio the chef.""Concealed jewel, but easily accessible off the parkway. Esteemed staff that goes about taking care of your every need, especially the maitre d'. Exceptional menu with meals that make you crave for more. The homemade pasta dishes are unequaled to any place in the state. This is an elite restaurant that I will entertain my family and my business clients at.

Created with a passion, the restaurant has been exquisitely designed and beautifully finished with materials from all over the world. No stone was left unturned and time was not a factor in finding exactly what was required to make the "vision" a reality. The atmosphere created is one of quiet comfort in surroundings reminiscent of an Italian villa. The friendly and courteous staff, the outstanding food, and the efficient service all contribute to the ambiance felt by those who visit the restaurant.

We wanted the best possible quality meat program, seafood towers overflowing with oysters, clams, shrimp, and mussels, and the kind of cocktails that are impossible to get sick of, all in a beautifully designed, unique space. And we wanted it not in New York – we want it right here in Shelton, CT. Enter Chaplin.

My experience at the Stonebridge Restaurant was exceptional . From the moment I stopped to ask the gentleman where I should park my car, to the desert placed in front of me was amazing . The wait staff were very friendly and ready to help us at any time. They even came by a few times asking us if we needed anything or was everything okay . And the food … well that was heavenly . From the Aloha Bowl that we started off with and the crab cakes, to the vanilla cake and ice cream was superb. Decided to have the fish and chips .. out of this world !!! I highly recommend this restaurant and give it 5 stars . You won’t be disappointed!!

We had an amazing time at Dockside! We reserved the Candy Cane Lane igloo for our annual pre-Christmas outing. The igloo was so fun, themed so well, supplied with heaters and even a speaker so we could play our own music. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. She was kind, fun and made sure we were all having a great time. The food and drinks were amazing. Thank you so much for a wonderful time!
