32 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants East Lyme

“We had a two delicious meals. The duck was crisp and not fatty. I had the special with roasted potatoes and spiraled veggies with a delicious sauce. My husband thought his paella was very good. This new restaurant’s staff and owners try very hard to please their customers. We will definitely be back!“

“Have been here several times and always enjoyed a great meal. Surprised by the recent lower rating but decided to go back and try the food anyway.
We enjoyed our soup and entrees. Service was good and staff helpful. Even prepared Prik Nam Pla for us when requested. Will go back again.“

“I liked this place. It’s solidly good. Everything is made to order with fresh ingredients. Their salsas could use some refining - not a lot of flavor & depth to them. but I liked everything else.
The chips are just standard thick corn fried tortillas chips so nothing great about them. I ordered the fried avocado soft taco which was fine except that the avocado was underripe so not ideal. The creamy chipotle sauce was very good but I think the avocado taco needs a savory salsa to offset the creamy avocado. I also had a pulled pork taco which was good - the salsa verse was good but not great. I will stop in again & try some other items.“

“I had bunny chow and my best friend had Jollof rice and egusi soup. We didn´t have anything to say besides that the food was amazing!!!!!? Also the staff was PERFECT MOSTLY THE OWNERS KID JULLIAN MATEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“We’ve been to the old location (several times) and the new one and it’s still one of our top 3 breweries to go to! Great beers, great staff and great pizza! Tox is definitely a must when traveling in or through CT and RI.“

“Good beer great atmosphere“

“Wildly awesome experience! Crazy good ice cream!

Reasonably priced! Especially compared to some other spots locally!

Lots of area for the kiddos to play, lots of crazy good flavors!

Hard pack and soft serve!

“So happy they are here! The foos is always good and the servers are always friendly and welcoming!!! Thank you for bringing a great restaurant to this town!!!“

“Flan is phenomenal! Pernil is perfect, to stones delicious 😋, and the beans are out of this world!!! The owner is always gracious and sweet to me, very personable. They throw in a piece of skin in with the pulled pork. One of my my monthly stops❤️ potatoe balls are also great!“

“Beautiful grounds to walk around with friends or family.“

“Myrcene is a hidden gem within Old Saybrook! We recently hosted a graduation party here with about 50 guests and it was the PERFECT spot to host a party. The owners are incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating. They kept all of their delicious beers, wines, ciders and seltzers flowing for our guests and allowed us to bring in our own food and desserts (this was a game changer for us when looking for a spot to host a party locally). From the time we set up to the time we cleaned up the owners offered to help and were always there to see if we needed anything. The inside space is perfect for a gathering, plus they have a wonderful outside space too for guests to sit and relax and play lawn games. I can’t recommend them enough for your next party or just for a local meet up with friends and family for a delicious drink!“

“Tasty coffee! Highly recommend!“

“The food here is wonderful! Nice atmosphere and a beautiful setting. We go every summer with a group of friends for their outdoor YARN concerts. Highly recommend. 5 stars.“

“Our server, Sher P was wonderful. The resturant was very busy but she was extremely intentional to make sure we were comfortable. Her customer service was outstanding. The food was very good as well. We both wanted salads (cobb salad and strawberry salad) and they were more than we could eat. Thank you Sher for such a great customer service experiance.“

“Stopped here after a girls day out book shopping, this place is awesome! Friendly, happy staff with healthy, delicious food!“

“i just wanted to shoutout Jake's Diner for their above and beyond customer service. i placed an order on door dash because I had knee surgery and its a rainy day. The door dash driver delivered me someone else order from a whole different place and then tried to blame it on the restaurant. when I called the restaurant they made me a whole new fresh order and even delivered it to me and they dont even deliver. That type of service is rare now a days. I will continue to support our local businesses. Thank you so much!“

“love karaoke night, love the bartenders and service“

“Its a binary option; take it or drive around the long way …DUH. The RV ticketing contrast between Cross Sound and Cape May/Lewes is night and day. On Cross Sound, rigs that are 23’ or longer you can only phone order your ticket (and pay double the price). No rhyme or reason why; operator takes the same information and enters it instead of you doing it online. Office hours are yours to guess…not listed. Just remember no guns and shut off your propan.“

“We have been coming to David's place for a long time - usually very good. This time (7/23) was not the greatest. Ordered sea food salad roll toasted. It was not toasted and they have changed the sea food salad since last month. It was really good before - now it's more "Stop and Shop" type salad with big chunks. Before it was chopped up small and had a delicious taste. Also the chips were obviously the "bottom of the bag" ones. Sorry - just disappointed. We drove quite a few miles to eat there.“

“A great spot to hang and try new craft beer. Sean goes out of his way to integrate everyone who's at the bar even if it is a slow night by doing various types of trivia and/or jackbox. People look forward to bad movie nights on Wednesday night at 8:00 where we make fun of terrible movies. And many live performances from DJ's to bands.“

“Had lunch with a friend on Thursday 4/18/2024. 2 brothers reminded me of Cheers where everyone knows your name❣️ but since it was our first time not so much . The service was great,the pizza we tried was delicious and the beer which our waitress gave me a shot of to try was also tasty. Will be going back for sure.“

“I went here with my family and let me tell you, it is the definition of FEEL GOOD PLACE! It is a cozy little cafe with 80’s or maybe earlier, handheld games spread throughout the cafe. While we waited we enjoyed playing many games I hadn’t played in years! While we were just chit chatting, all the sudden marshmallow come flying at us! My daughter thought it was so cool, we looked over to see one of the ladies shooting them from behind the counter. She came over a little while later to squirt ketchup and mustard at us, it was a prank but very funny! It was really just a string. To top it off, she brings a small claw machine so my daughter could play it and win some prizes. We found out that they feed squirrels that come up to the window, so we inquired and one of the women tried to get the squirrel to come so we could see it. Unfortunately it did not happen but honestly, just left feeling like my soul was warmed. The food was amazing! The coffee was hot and all the women working there were truly a delight! I wish I lived closer, I’d definitely become a regular. Best part- aside from taking some photos for memories, no one was on their phone. Just really enjoying the cafe and experience.“

“We frequent this spot during the summer months and the ice cream is good. Was disappointed last evening though as staff seemed in a hurry and a bit rude. One thing that should be address is the massive spider and bugs above where you stand to wait for your order . A good power wash would be good!! Love the ice cream though“

“Food was amazing!!!!!!!!!!“

“great food, great staff! Only pizza we ever get!“

“Fresh Salt never disappoints! Highly recommend the pork chop! Cuts like filet mignon! Apps (Mrs Tag meatball, and the calamari were so full of flavor ) were plentiful and dessert , cheese cake and a seasonal bread pudding, were a perfect ending to our evening. Worth it for sure.“

“Absolutely love this place!! We go every Sunday and have never been disappointed! The staff is amazing and always make us feel welcome! I have nothing bad to say at all. Thank you Skippers for making our family time great!“

“Have been a few times, once for lunch after the Niantic 5K, and also for dinner on two occasions. Chef Rachel is always coming up with great dishes, I've never had a tapas or main I didn't enjoy here. Overall, one of my favorite shoreline spots.“

“Was pleasantly surprised to see Freds Shanty open for a quick bite to eat! And even more so when Ozzie came out to say hello and that he just recently bought and opened the place! Scallop roll was yummy! And reasonably priced. I treated myself since I’ve been home all winter lol!“

“Absolutely love this place !!! The food is fantastic !!! It’s the perfect beachy atmosphere, with great food. When ever I’ve been no matter who was the waitress we were always greeted with a smile …. It’s a must try …. Keep doing what you’re doing !!!!! Don’t look back…“

“My sister was in town visiting from Maine and stayed at the Holiday Inn. We went to La Luna for dinner and drinks. 5 stars isn't a high enough ranking for the absolute amazing service we had. This gem of a spot needs more love from the locals. Our dinner was absolutely delicious. Additionally, one of my biggest pet peeves at a restaurant is the staff complaining and there was NONE of that going on here. They all helped each other and it was awesome. The whole experience was fantastic 👏“

“Phenomenal Bagels coupled with a creative flair and high-quality ingredients. Simply the best!. Do not miss the Chile Relleno egg sandwich. Beyond delicious. Get it with the spicy sausage. So great to have such an interesting and high-quality bagel shop in our town. Can’t say enough great things about it!“
