Growing up in an Italian-American family, Chef David’s favorite holiday tradition has always been the Feast of the Seven Fishes. This year, The Shipwright’s Daughter is thrilled to share this cherished meal with our guests on December 15h.

Join us for an unforgettable Feast of the Seven Fishes—an astounding seven-course dining experience that celebrates the best of local, sustainable seafood, made with love by 2024 James Beard Award-winning Chef David Standridge.

Each course highlights the freshest ingredients, bringing the vibrant flavors of the ocean to life.

Please note that reservations are refundable up to 72 hours prior to the event. Due to the nature of this event, we are unable to accommodate shellfish or other seafood allergies.

The Shipwright’s Daughter and The Whaler’s Inn are thrilled to announce a very special visit from Santa Claus on December 22 from 12-3. Santa will be spreading holiday cheer from the festive lobby of The Whaler’s Inn, where the magic of the season will come alive for families and children of all ages.

For a donation of $5, guests can enjoy a personal audience with Santa, sharing their holiday wishes while supporting those in our community who need our help the most this season. All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Always Home, an incredible local organization dedicated to keeping families in Eastern Connecticut housed and helping parents build lasting stability for their children.

Guests dining at The Shipwright’s Daughter can conveniently purchase tickets for their families during brunch service, and donation tickets will also be available at the front desk of The Whaler’s Inn. This holiday season, join us in celebrating the joy of giving back to those who need our love and support most. We’re honored to continue our support of the vital work of Always Home, and we look forward to welcoming our community to share in the holiday magic..
