“Really nice CT hole in the wall spot. A bit away from the busy downtown area of Niantic, and right past the famous Book Barn, if you're coming from the North. Inside is nice an cool, with enough space for people to eat. As well as outside tables by the porch or the front of the venue if it's nice and cool. Eventhough it was busy, these people were fast. Once you get in, you go right to the front desk and order. If there's a line, make sure to have already picked what you want. Don't wait last second to figure it out. It's not polite. Then pay and get your receipt and your number. Take a seat and make sure the waiter and waitress sees the number for your food. We had a pleasant time. They have two doors so you dont have to leave the same way you came in and bathrooms. If you have children or wheelchair, make sure to have someone to order for you since the first step of the venue is tall. Making it hard to get in for wheelchair ♿ people. Decent parking space. Just pay attention with the ongoing traffic. People drive too fast and they stop for nothing when you are leaving the plaza.”

“I cannot express how pleased my family and I were with the Light House Inn in New London, CT. The scenic location and views, the historic building and architecture are truly breathtaking. We were so impressed with the food and service, we decided to have our son's wedding rehearsal dinner there. Alwyn and his staff went above and beyond to make the evening special, and indeed our guests were absolutely delighted. We cannot wait to visit again!”

“01.06.25 'Big Al's Reel Reviews' Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant Es Tu Casa 'Mi Casa' (Is your home my home) in the City of New London? 🤷🏾♂️ Well I am sure that I will be back for more delicious Mexican food. I gave them two 👍🏾👍🏾 due to serving me two amazing meals this evening! I will be honest and admit that the prices are a little bit "heavy" compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area but overall I really enjoyed my meals and the atmosphere at Mi Casa's a lot!

The grand prize includes two game tickets, hotel accommodations, flight vouchers, and a $300 Visa gift card. A hundred runner-up winners each receive a $25 El Pollo Loco gift card.
