Restaurants in New London

“Best restaurant great hostess”

“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.”

“The best around !!!!! We absolutely love the food and the service is excellent 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Excellent food and excellent service. The staff was incredibly friendly. They made a note to ask if we had any allergies at all, which was veey sweet of them to check before preparing our food. Food was fresh and delicious. Would heavily recommend going for a meal. We will be going back the next time we are in New London!”

“Simply Amazing!! The food is incredible!! The staff is friendly and attentive!! If you are ever in New London, CT then you must stop by Spice Palette. You won't be disappointed!!”

“good morning NL at 5:45am i stop here to get breakfast i saw two blonde women get out their expensive luxury cars ..btw nice rides llady i se business is good..i waved good day to the lady in glasses..she threw me a look of disgust to sitting in my car og well! then it got real ugly i bad vision i used my flashlight to what time they open then the other lady came the door like a pitbull at me LOL thank the lord she didnt bite me on this lovely sunday then they call the police on me LOL so no french toast crispy home fries and the icing on cake she told me never come bacl thank god i has my tylenol with me LOL reporting in NL your food critic ..”

“Small space but it's cozy and great for conversation with loved ones. Beautiful decorations, friendly staff.However, I've lived in CT, RI, and MA and out of all three states (and the many breweries I've tried while residing in each), this brewery has the best stout I've had in over a decade (their other beers are also great but I'm a stout person). I'm very disappointed Man O' War allegedly won't be staying on the menu, but if this is the caliber this brewery can create I'll happily try anything they come up with!”

“I took one bite of the Crab Rangoon and immediately called them (I legitimately needed the staff to know how amazing my order was.) I didn't catch the friendly women's name that picked up the phone. I work at a small family owed sandwich shop, BOH and FOH its extremely hard work. So when a customer calls the restaurant regarding their recent order...You're immediately are like...uh oh. She didn't skip a beat, so professional. The Crab Rangoon was out this world, along with the veggie spring rolls. Usually anything fried ends up soggy by the time you eat it. Not at Rico Chow! When I say everything showed up hot, crispy, and not greasy at all...i speak the truth! I also ordered the wonton soup and it's the best I've ever had. Lastly I had the boneless spareribs with the house fried rice, which are also crazy good. Anyone who leaves a negative review for Rico Chow obviously (is a Karen...) and has no idea what food made with love taste like. As you scroll through the reviews almost all are 5 stars. Don't allow people who are a pain in the butt and complain for no reason stop you from trying this gem!!!”

“Perfectly prepare Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles. Great green salad and fresh spring rolls!”

“If you’re going to have a drink, have it before you go. We went there last night and had two glasses of house wine each and they were literally as much as our entrees. We eat out all the time and have never seen anything like that anywhere.”

“It's a great experience. The food is the real deal, the sazon is on point and the service is a warning as the food. What can i say pure nostalgic. Proud of my boricua heritage.”

“Excellent food, both Boricua and Dominican, I love their cakes, desserts and food in general. And their prices are moderate. They have very good service, I recommend them.”

“Went at lunchtime and the line was pretty long. So we sat and waited about 20-25 minutes for our grinder and sandwiches to be ready. The sandwiches and grinder were freshly made and stacked high...delicious. only drawback is waiting area and the long lines (other people obviously know it's a great lunchplace too.”

“We went to have dinner with my husband
Foods were so tasty and authentic
Sashimi was so fresh and thick cut, we devoured so quick
Service was wonderful

Absolutely we will come back again”

“Great food, daily specials, classic Italian.”

“Friendly staff and of course, delicious ice cream! I had Cowabunga Crunch!”

“Incredibly delicious, authentic and fresh food! Wonderful service! The best real margarita I have had in years. Highly recommend the dobladas ….love going to this restaurant!”

“Thanks for a great breakfast today! My wife loved the decaf latte. Very cool place!”

“Best place. Best employees. BUT if you get the girl with the pink hair I think her name tag said “KARAS” she doesn’t fill the cups to where the others always have and her attitude is not good either.”

“We have visited this establishment a few times and tonight more than exceeded our expectations. The food was superb and the service was exceptional. If you want a comfortable place to meet with a wide variety of food choices that is always top notch, then you must go here.”

“I got the Fish and Chips last night 09/03/2024. Everything was cooked perfectly and the portions were quite big. I usually don’t get to have seafood because I moved down south near Asheville, NC but this place made one of my favorite meals (that I don’t get to have too often anymore) perfectly even the fries were cooked perfectly. Thank you very much!!”

“Great little place with really good food. If you enjoy real food you'll probably like this place. I had a feeling they were going to be special when I saw that french fries were not an option. I opted for turnips and baked beans with my ribs. Also got the Thanksgiving sandwich. I'm so glad I found this place so close to home and will definitely return.”

“Everything is exceptional!!! Food, atmosphere, and staff are the best!! Their coffee can’t be beat!!! Giovanni and the whole crew make it an awesome experience!!”

“Ordered a couple pizzas and enjoyed a beer at the bar while waiting. Staff was great, and the pizza is the best. Will go back often!”

“Love it here, best cocktails, fun vibes. Great bartenders, family friendly, just feels good!”

“excellent breakfast. staff is great. would go back anytime and recommend to anyone.”

“My favorite ❤️ place for pizza”

“Traveled all the way from Austin Texas for a legit lobster roll and Captain Scott’s did not disappoint
Got the small lobster roll with extra melted butter and lobster bisque ?
**HIGHLY RECOMMEND DUNKING THE LOBSTER ROLL IN THE LOBSTER BISQUE**”

“Very, very Small bakery, family run and welcoming atmosphere. All questions were answered, most people that come in are Spanish speaking, which I don't speak, but felt so welcomed, everyone that came and went was polite.”

“great vibe for new London! screw that narcissistic "I need attention" guy. the food is great and I don't need to record myself to promote that!”

“The rice is unsurpassed. The side salads are REAL salads, not just a wedge of lettuce with a green wedge of tomato and a slice of cucumber. These people know food. Chicken is great, their Fish 'n Rice Platter is really really good.”

“Best Ecuadorian food in the state! Staff are very friendly and you’ll rarely if ever have an issue eating there. I recommend!”

“You wouldn't know it by the simple look of the place but the food is phenomenal, an absolute favourite and something I go out of my way to get. The meat is fall off the bone tender and packed with flavor. The jerk chicken is easily the spiciest thing I enjoy fully. Sides are yummy and the portion size means you can easily share one meal or you'll likely have leftovers.”

“Wonderful, flavorful dishes and lots of options!”

“great place great people”

“The food here was fantastic. I had cauliflower tempura as an appetizer. It was perfect, crunchy on the outside and tender inside. My friend had calamari which was beautifully presented and seasoned but just a squige overdone. My entre was short ribs served over creamy, cheesy polenta. Delicious! I’ll be going back!”

“Excellent”

“Great Local Spot. Make sure to "kiss the ring" if you see Sonny !”

“Food and service is great. Music on the other hand a bit loud.”

“This place was impeccable. everything from the service to the decor was on point. When walking in I thought that the food would make me need to use the toilet for 3 hours straight but when I walked in I felt this strange aura as if God himself was trying to give me a sign that this restaurant will wash me of my sins and boy, that’s what I experienced alright! When the server spoke to me, I started blushing and thought he was the most gorgeous person I’ve ever seen. Even though I have a girlfriend(obviously), I went straight ahead and dumped her right then and there. When I stuffed my mouth with the food, it felt like fireworks exploded and melted in my mouth. It was just soooo good that it surpassed every restaurant I’ve ever went to in my life. I’d literally give up my children in order to just have a nibble of the food again. The only downside to this place would be that I can’t ever go to any other restaurant again because they can’t even begin to match the pure satisfaction of just being in the presence of these amazing, good-looking chefs. If I could, I would rate this infinite stars since this place was sent down from God himself. It’s as if the angels came together to lead me to this wonderful place. This is truly the second Garden Of Eden. I believe this is truly the place pure hearted people go when they die. Now I gotta finish this review before my dad comes home to beat me again cause my mom just cheated and he needs someone to let his anger out so byeeeeeee!!!!! ☺️”

“great place with great people.”

“great place, great food, great people, highly recommend!”

“We were greeted and welcomed on by a nice woman who explained some menu items for us. This was our first time dinning at this local Dominican food establishment. They are Spanish and English-speaking here. Service was great. Our food was delicious and so was there green house sauce. I will be returning. I recommend 👌”

“The gentleman who made my tuna grinder this morning did an amazing job! All the food is amazing. The staff is also friendly and kind! Highly recommend”

“Found this place by accident while waiting for a train, and what a jewel of a find it is. We got there right after it opened and it was quiet, but quickly a few regulars showed up and the atmosphere couldn't have been better. The bartender was nice, funny, and made us feel as welcome as the regulars at the bar too. The decor and just overall vibe was stellar. I can only imagine how great it would be during peak hours with more people and live music. It is on the smaller side, so I can imagine it gets crowded, but that's half the charm of a hole-in-the-wall spot like this”

“Wednesday karaoke nights are the bomb! the bartenders are amazing and so friendly. the food is good too!”

“The food was cheap and very good. Getting our food was very quick. They have a good variety of food and the restaurant isn't busy no matter what time you come.”

“Great first experience for my friend and I. Food was delicious and our server Luis Jr provided service with a smile and was wonderful. We’ll definitely be back!”

“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.”

“Love the food … especially the red snapper.. great customer service too”

“We stopped by because I was craving tacos. We were absolutely blown away by the quality of the food, cleanliness of the restaurant, and hospitality we were shown. We decided that that we need to be regular guests here. Honestly, eat here. It’s amazing. This place is such a treasure.”

“The atmosphere, the food and the hospitality you receive the owners and their team! Keeps us coming back!”

“Best Dunkin Donut experience ever on Ocean Ave. Treasure was fantastic- pleasant, friendly, polite, and offered good suggestions.”

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

“Osmino’s Grill is a gem of New London! The food is amazing, take out is always easy, the owners are the sweetest, and there is always something on the menu for everyone! Their pizza is awesome. I can’t say enough amazing things about this restaurant! 20/10 recommend!”

“They created 2 amazing cakes for my son's first birthday. I gave her the party theme and she went with it. We had many compliments on the design and taste. We will always contact them for future parties!!”

“The food is great and my family and I go at least once a week. All so the people that work there are great to. Love that place.”

“First time in New London and the food was absolutely amazing. I received excellent service. She was friendly and kind and gave recommendations. The view was beautiful and the breeze felt amazing while eating this delicious meals. I’d definitely come back!”

“Went here tonight with my fiancé, i wanted to try the viral Nashville Hot Mozz Sticks which came out perfectly cooked and had the right amount of heat. I also got the Southwest Eggrolls, perfecto. He got the Smokehouse combo with Nashville hot chicken crispers, street corn, fries and brisket quesadillas.
The street corn was mushy and cold, disappointing, but the flavor was still good. The fries were cold and blah. Crispers were juicy and flavorful. The highlight was the brisket quesdilla, the brisket was tender and moist with the perfect amount of bbq sauce.
We decided to try a bowl of chili at chilis and it was also disappointing, so much salt and cumin we couldn't keep eating it. Otherwise, we had a good experience and our waitress was attentive.”

“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!”

“The quality of the food exceptional, great spare rib bone in without being overly thick and nasty and overly greasy or too much sauce. The general tsos chicken is exceptional. Not too salty or oversaturated in sauce and the fried rice is tasty”

“Service was amazing, the place was decorated almost head to toe in beautiful paintings and plants. Food was the best out of it all though, great service, they allowed me to get just the crab meat and add food from another dish.”

“Got to just talk about life and watch him make me a sandwich just the way I wanted it, created wonderful atmosphere with natural smiles and enjoyment in there jobs.”

“I have been stopping here since 2006 and I always have great experience! AJ makes delicious pizza!”

“Huge portions, fresh, great tasting sea food. From blackened salmon to fried clam strips (my go to meal), you can't go wrong! The pasta with clams, muscles, shrimp and scallops in a delicate garlicky and wine broth is a nice change of pace from my usual, and if I had a larger stomach, I'd order it every time too. The Appetizers are also unique. The jerk-octopus is outstanding and there are always daily specials, and unique holiday items on the menu. The lobster rolls are so stuffed with lobster, I almost feel like I'm cheating because I'm not wrestling the lobster to get at the meat, and then I'm finish too soon, but I can't stop eating them. They just added chicken wings to the menu with a variety of sauces that I'm going to try on my next visit. There are many more things on the menu, but I'm a creature of habit and tend to stick with my faves. Finally, the view is outstanding overlooking the boat slips and water, and the staff is always friendly and and work hard to make your experience worth every penny.”
