I joined this year after many years of our family being members of the New York Athletic Club, the Waterbury Club & the Winged Foot Golf Club. I love this place & I am having more fun here every week. The parties here are amazing. The second floor has a full member lounge with a TV & stereo & fire place. The third floor has a full party room that can be rented by members & non-members.
The views from all three floors are as nice as anyplace in the area. ….. What a great club to be a member of. Many of the members will do anything to help you enjoy yourself at the club.

Benny's Restaurant at the Pootatuck Yacht Club is a secret treasure in Stratford, and you might just have to buy a member dinner, just to get in! It's BYOB and the food is quite good. The steaks, the veal dishes and fish dishes are all highly recommended. The fried calamari with hot peppers and Gorgonzola is a favorite. The river view is a great plus.

OK, this one is Stratford's best kept secret. Pootatuck Yacht Club allows non-members to come in for dinner and lunch Thurs-Sun. You can pay with a credit card and you can bring your own booze! This is easily the best high end food in Stratford, replacing Biaggio as my former favorite. The chef, Benny Mujollari has incredible talent and the wait staff is excellent. There is a set menu all the time and there are great items on there (Steak, Chicken, Fish, Pasta) and then there are the specials on a huge board brought to the table. These include everything from Stuffed Salmon, Ribeye,
