Connie & Ted's

This place is always packed, so make a reservation before you go. Seafood was fresh and portions were generous. Loved the seafood tower and herb crusted fish. The jumbo shrimp lived up to their name (they were very large). Even though I'm not a big fan of zucchini, the side was delicious. The zucchini spears were tender and prepared with slivered almonds and two sauces on the plate. The server was polite and attentive. The only drawbacks were the uncomfortable chairs and tables too close to each other. It was a bit noisy. Also, valet is $17, but there was plenty of metered parking on the street.

Fantastic! We came for brunch and can’t wait to come back for dinner. Probably the best steak & eggs we’ve had, the melted butter, steak itself and hash browns were as good as can be. Everything was fresh and made perfect. Also their Blondie with ice cream dessert is a MUST try!! Couldn’t stop eating it, it’s all made in-house there and you can taste how fresh it is. The ice cream was incredible and blondie itself was WOW. Probably the best blondie we’ve ever had too. Great service, atmosphere, super cute decor and food is really top notch. Can’t wait to be back!

A bit pricy. Quality level was not at the same price level. Fish sandwich was really spicy. Fries were salty. Crab roll too greasy.

Connie and Ted's is simply marvelous! 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.

Went on a Friday evening without a reservation and was sat outside. Got the gumbo, hot lobster roll and fried calamari. Gumbo is super good but lacking some salt. Hot lobster roll was amazing and the fries that came alongside them were also great Skip the fried calamari, very flavorless and soggy. Service was good. Would come back for the lobster roll.
