“Great food!! Worth a visit“

“Get the huge beakers. I know it's like $25 but i don't care!!! They are SO CUTE! The banana and strawberry daiquiris are both vegan and it's my understanding that a lot of the other flavors are too. Every flavor is dairy free so you just need to inquire about the alcohol used“

“I stopped here to catch the end of the Eagles game after dinner. The large screen is really cool. We sat down and a server came over right away. We only ordered a couple drinks but our server was still very attentive and checked on us. Overall great spot to watch the game! Go birds! 🏈🦅“

“Just enjoyed amazing cocktails (Gimlet and Curry Barbados) and Nosh (mushrooms had amazing flavor, Korean fried chicken sandwich, salty and delicious, empanadas crisp and yummy) from their Happy Hour menu which is being expanded from 4:00 to 6:00. On Tuesday starting at 6:30 or 7:00 is a jazz quartet which we sadly had to miss but will definitely be back. Our waitress Claire was darling and very informative. Bartender was spectacular!“

“Our server Randi was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. She is a real p.lus for your business. The firecracker shrimp was amazing.“

“Everything was Great!! I walked in expecting good service and good food and I walked out a happy customer. I ordered the bbq and the j*** sauce wings, It was amazing!! I was actually licking my fingers because the sauce was sooo good. I must add the decor was beautiful. It looked so elegant on first encounter and I found myself talking about it during my whole dinner. You won't regret eating at favorites. I promise you, I will be a regular over there.“

“OMG the food was absolutely delicious
Now please don't be put off by the cost yes $65 pp is a lot of money I'm a blue collar worker but it was my 30 th wedding anniversary so my wife and I decided to go for it the waitress had told us that some walk away because of the cost but all I can say to them is your really missing out so for 65 bucks you get to take from a raw bar, charcuterie board, overnight, oats, mixed fruit, pastries, coffee bar, and tea, that's an all you can eat ,then you get to pick from a breakfast menu a main dish and as if that's not enough you get a dessert tower all I can say is OMG all that for only $65 pp what a deal and if you can't finish your food you get to take it home 🏡
This place is located on the roof of soft bakery in mystic stairs to navigate up but easy climb“

“Awesome restaurant. Love the relaxed atmosphere. The service is absolutely amazing. The food is amazing.“

“It takes all kinds of kinds to make this world go round, and the folks over at the Misfit Club have gone out of their way to create a wonderfully warm and welcoming atmosphere for all kinds. Looking for a place to just be yourself while having a couple of fabulous drinks? Misfit Club is the place go.“

“The food was very good! My husband and I shared the Lobster roll it wasn’t overly buttered , you can taste the lobster. The atmosphere eas nice and service was good.“

“Food was great and atmosphere was wonderful!“

“What an excellent experience we had last night! The restaurant is decorated beautifully for the holiday season. We sat at the bar & had impeccable service. The food was outstanding. The homemade bread and flavored butter -- just yum!! Calamari was cooked to perfection and the seafood pasta dish was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to return!!“

“My boyfriend and I are hitting lots of bars in the Groton area as we are looking to get a house soon! Visited this place just once and instantly became a favorite. Owner was SO cool and chatty with us, and the locals as well! Pool was a lot of fun! Amazing and welcoming atmosphere for a young couple. We’ll be back!“

“Staff is friendly. Food is excellent! Best burger!! 5 stars“

“The service was great, drinks were delicious and the pork chop….perfection!“

“They have CBD seltzers, unlike many of the other local establishments, which is very nice for a non-drinker like myself to be able to hang out with the cool kids, so to speak.

Generally good music.
Great regular crowd.“

“Love this place great place to see live music“

“great place with great people.“

“Excellent bar with a surprising food selection. Have been going here for years. Same look inside. Rustic. Delicious Southwestern Salad with grilled chicken. Perfectly cooked chicken, crisp lettuce, better than any sit down restaurant. Great venue for bands, including Aquanett who gave a great concert on 4/18/26.“

“Feels Like Home – Amazing Cantonese Food! Golden Palace in Connecticut is hands down one of the best Cantonese restaurants I’ve been to. Their dim sum is so authentic — just like the kind you’d get in Hong Kong or southern China. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. What really makes this place special is the people. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming — every time I come here, I feel like I’m back home in China. It’s that kind of warm, family-style hospitality that’s hard to find these days. Whether you’re craving dim sum or a comforting Cantonese meal, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“Favorite bonbons that we tried (ranked by most favorite but no bonbons were bad!): Vanilla, tiramisu, hazelnut latte, coconut, apple chai. We loved our bartender and we were pleasantly surprised that each specialty drink also came with a bonbon!“

“My friend and I stopped in for a quick bite to eat and a drink! I had a fabulous martini and delicious Margareta Flatbread pizza that was cooked to perfection! Rachel was our bartender and she was pure perfection! She was attentive, friendly and kind! And the expresso martini was the best I ever had! Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“We stumbled upon Dive Bar accidentally and we weren’t quite sure what to expect as we descended down the steps into the bar itself. While this isn’t a spot you’re going to find any cocktails they can throw you together a little something as long as they have the ingredients for it. The vibes were good, the music was at a perfect volume allowing us to hear our friends chat & the Photo Booth was a cute little touch that had us running back for more! If you’re looking for a chill place to end the night, check out The Dive Bar!“

“Love the steak bomb for lunch.“

“Kendall the Server was in my Personal View has Been Outstanding between taking our lunch order with ease,&Ultimately the Kitchen Staff Delivered The Same if not Greater than what Could have been anticipated!! I've NEVER been to this business before though I'm Definitely looking forward to returning here to #36 Town grill&tap Very soon. (5 Stars 🌟 Sal.v)“

“Great place good people cold beer 👍“

“📅 11.15.25 *WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews - EP.181 Noah’s Restaurant 👎🏾 Stonington Borough, CT Tonight I headed into the historic and absolutely beautiful Stonington Borough for Episode 181, and I started my evening with a quick stop at the nationally known Lobster Trap Tree. They just finished putting it up on Friday. You will see a ton of dope custom painted buoys, the whole display looks incredible. It’s only two blocks from Noah’s, so after checking that out, I took the short walk through the Borough and made my way over for dinner. I arrived early, around 4:30pm which was before the full dinner rush, but people were already flowing in. By 5:35 PM, in the dining section alone (10 tables total), 7 were filled and more guests were coming in minute by minute. Inside, Noah’s gives you that classic New England charm. It's beautiful. Warm lighting, rustic décor, and dope local prints of New London, Stonington, and shoreline scenes all across the walls. It genuinely felt like stepping straight into a Hallmark movie. My server tonight was Ryan, friendly, attentive, and had water waiting at my table right from the start. He also brought out bread with a plate of butter, which was a good touch. Service was friendly, but overall super slow. I waited 40 minutes for my main dish even though the restaurant wasn’t fully packed yet. Alright, let’s talk about the food... 🍽️ THE FOOD 1️⃣ Steamed Mussels- $14 Garlic, butter, white wine, parsley I really wanted to like these and I love garlic, but these mussels were overpowered. The garlic was extremely strong, to the point where it drowned out everything else. Worse, the mussels had a slightly sour taste, and the broth wasn’t enjoyable. I literally choked down 2 mussels on bread and I was done! I couldn’t finish them. 👎🏾 Thumbs Down 2️⃣ Oven-Roasted Chicken Wings- $13 (I chose BuffaBlue) The wings were a no-go for me. Dry, bland, over-baked - just not it. And the “Buffalo Blue” sauce? Yo Listen… I spent $13 for seven unseasoned chicken wings that were dry, over-baked, and came with a little tin of Frank's Red Hot sauce with a dollop of blue cheese dressing mixed in. That wasn’t going to cut it. No way. That was an insult 🤷🏾‍♂️ and that’s why these wings earned a 👎🏾 Thumbs Down 3️⃣ Fettuccine (Arugula/Walnut/Pesto)- $16+ Stonington Bay Scallops- $20 This dish saved the entire night. The pesto was fresh and flavorful, the pasta looked and tasted incredible, and the Stonington Bay scallops that are caught right off the boats here were sweet, tender, and absolutely delicious. This was the one plate that delivered. 💣 BOMB 4️⃣ Apple Crisp- $8 A rare move for me, I actually ordered dessert tonight. It was to cheer me up from the disappointing dinner. It didn't cheer me up but it was good. 💬 FINAL THOUGHTS Noah’s is a landmark here in Stonington, it’s been part of the Borough since 1979, and the atmosphere inside is truly beautiful. The town is charming, the décor is gorgeous, and the vibes were perfect. But the food tonight with one hit (💣), two major misses (👎🏾👎🏾), and slow service didn’t help. The mussels and wings were a disappointment, but the fettuccine with scallops was excellent. Based on tonights visit, Noah's Restaurant did not pass the Big Al's Reel Reviews 👎🏾 And as always, these are my honest opinions based on what I experienced. You know that I always keep it Real to Reel, and you can always go try it yourself and decide but for me, it's a no-go 👎🏾 "See you on the rebound, Peace✌🏾Out!" ☝🏾❤️ - Big Al Mayo “Always keeping it Real to Reel”“

“Great place to see live music. Bartenders are great.“

“Sept 16 Par Four hosted the 45th Class Reunion of Fitch High School! The sunset & cool, breezy evening was matched only by the excellent wait staff and delicious buffet! We all had such a great time!“
