The Place Restaurant is a truly unusual outdoor seafood restaurant in Guilford CT where visitors dine outdoors while a crackling wood fire roasts savory clams, smoky lobsters, sweet corn and much more.  Instead of chairs, tree stumps encircle bright red tables, decorated with a bottle of freshly cut flowers.  One large menu towers over the dining area, allowing all to see their options as smiling waitstaff come to take their order.
