Liv’s Oyster Bar, Owned and operated by Chef John Brescio, has been a staple in Old Saybrook for 18 years!

In 2014, Liv’s started offering their Connecticut hot buttered lobster rolls at farmers markets across Connecticut. The word spread quickly and the lines grew long to enjoy these amazing rolls. Being the only state that prefers our lobster rolls “the right way” and not as a salad, we commonly use the phrase “no mayo”, which is what has made our Liv's Shack t-shirts a must have!

In 2015, John Brescio expanded his talents, opening Liv’s Shack in Harbor One Marina, Old Saybrook. His attention to detail and culinary IQ has already created the Best Hot Buttered Lobster Roll; now he has created a large, sure to please everyone menu that offers options such as the fan favorite fish tacos, juicy burgers, BLTs, salads served with house-made dressing, fried chicken sandwiches, a large variety of sides as well as a full kids menu and more!

Our menu has been created to please everyone. You can come for the best lobster roll, while your “land lover” friends enjoy their favs, ensuring your whole party will have an amazing dining experience!
