Definitely a hidden gem in New London. Our server Julia was a sweetheart! I’m usually hesitant to order shrimp scampi at restaurants because my dads homemade recipe has put everyone else’s to shame and usually shrimp scampi ends up being shrimp skimpy, HOWEVER, this was not the case this time. I will be back again for this delicious dish that was seasoned perfectly. Portions are super generous and prices are great.
Would love to come here again! We had calamari diavolo, caesar salad, and fisherman’s platter. You could tell from the start that everything is super fresh and just fried, portion was amazing, and also flavor was amazing! $59 total for 2 grown people who can EAT. Also the staffs are so friendly. Loved it here and would come here again!!
I'd give them a 5 star but they didn't have scallops(which is what we specifically wanted) or steak. But so glad we stayed. Everything we ordered was delicious. Service from Matthew was exceptional. Worth every penny.
We were in town for 2 days, 7/10 and 7/11. We showed up with high expectations at 7PM because their own website said they are open until 10PM on Sundays. There were a few people in the restaurant, couldn't tell if they were patrons or employees, but the front door was locked. Went around back and entered their kitchen. Was told they were closed due to the waterfront activities (which by that time were over). I complained that they should have updated their website to reflect that, but they were unimpressed with my comment. Note: there were several other parties that were turned away. We came back the next night (Monday, 7/11) because their website says they were open. Locked up tight as a drum!!! What gives???
We stopped in for drink on a hot afternoon. They had the doors open and the breeze was nice but every time the train would go through or stop at the station (which is right across the street) the crossing bells would sound for several minutes. It was a bit annoying and perhaps they decided the breeze outweighed the noise? We sat at the bar and got beers. The bartender was great. Attentive withourt being pushy - a rare trait. Can't offer much on the food.
The food was the best I've ever had from here (fourth visit)! It was hot, fresh and very flavorful. The coconut shrimp was delicious w/ the honey bourbon sauce (wish it was alittle more on the sweet / honey side), the calamari was not rubbery or chewy at all and the breading was light and crisp, the oysters were literally the biggest ones I've ever had!!! I'm not a fan of them (my BF loves them) but they were very well clean and shucked correctly with minimal surprise shell pieces(which is one of the reasons I don't like them) they were flavorful and I actually ate 3! Then we had a basket of fries and they were hot & fresh and had a very subtle salt/seasoning and were great fries. My BF had the French Onion soup and it looked and smelled good, then last but not least I have the taco sampler (fried fish, salmon and shrimp) (this is also what I ordered last visit, and didnt get to eat it; another story for another time) and they were fantastic! Only downside to this visit was it was not busy at all, literally one table sat and two people at the bar, but the food took quite a long time for how slow it was, but the food was hot and delicious, that's why I didn't give them 5 ⭐... Definitely will return to try something else and was very satisfied with the server/bartender Sherry (I hope I got that right) also prices are very comparable to similar local restaurants...
Ok - was not expecting anything special. But I was served one of THE BEST FISH & CHIPS I'VE ever EATEN. And let me say, I;'ve eaten A LOT.of fish n chips. Great service, friendly waitstaff. It was on a fairly quiet pre season day. I'll put it to the test in-season! So far, well worth the trip from Fairfield County.
We stopped in for dinner last night after picking up our niece at the train station. The fried calamari appetizer was excellent. For entrees we had stuffed haddock, stuffed shrimp and the ravioli. Each of us thought that it was one of the best meals we ever had. Our server, Yolanda, was fantastic, always there when we needed something without ever hovering. The atmosphere, views and decor are second to none. Highly recommended!
Great food and amazing customer service!
Huge portions and incredible flavor. And our waitress was sweet and friendly. We will be back next time we are visiting our daughter at USCGA. Must have the clam chowder and seafood sampler (what little I could have because my daughter kept stealing. Great stuffed Haddock too. Daughter loved her salmon as well. Friendly, warm and inviting. Did I say I loved it?
