“We were a group of 5 in bit of rush to catch the ferry but came across this as we wanted to grab a quick bite before the ferry. Melora at Little Galapagos was the most fantastic server. She was amazingly helpful with the menu, quick with drinks and food, and went way above and beyond on service level. This was a completely random find for us and we were so glad we came here. Thank you Mel!“
“While working across the street the smells coming out of this restaurant forced me to come in and check it out. Absolutely delicious Puerto Rican cuisine and amazing customer service! Leaving with a quick bite to eat and some sweet plantains on the side for under six dollars was something I didn’t think existed anymore!“
“We recently visited New London’s only Peruvian restaurant, CJ Peruvian aka Pollas a la Brasa! They told us they recently expanded, and the bar/dining room area was beautiful. Though they were out of a couple of items on the menu that we were interested in, the waitress was quick to come up with suggestions of other popular dishes. We decided to get an appetizer of salchipapas - though simple, we’ve just never ordered it before and wanted to check it off our list! My fiancé loves a good Pisco sour and was very happy with the one here. The rotisserie chicken was flavorful and served with a delicious side of beans, and I enjoyed my beef with pesto pasta. All of the food came out very quickly!“
“I am traveling alone for work and am back it CT. I was warmly welcomed and offered to sit at the counter. There were some empty tables and I asked if I could sit at a table. I understand that being the weekend those are reserved for larger parties. However, I was allowed to sit at a table, and proceeded to place my order. I ordered the #2 which came with two eggs, toast, home fries and a choice of meat.The eggs were perfectly cooked to order. The home fries were flavorful and I decided to forgo the ketchup (which I have used at other establishments in order to give the home fries flavor). The cinnamon raisin toast was perfect. The bacon was crispy. If you are in New London sometime you will not be disappointed if you stopped here for brunch.“
“I got the Cuban but I'm a rare person who says there was too much pork on it (I know, don't kill me!)So I like the cuban because of the way everything tastes together and if there is too much of one ingredient it throws off the balance of the flavors. Just my opinion but I have no problem saying once I took half of the pork off (which was very good) I was happy. My other issue which probably won't be too popular either is that I wish they'd just sold a half of the sandwich. Way too much for one person, it won't taste as good the next day and a lot more people could afford it. Just a thought but some places do just sell a half.Definitely will go back; lots to try!“
“What a gem! Really lovely experience and are shocked it wasn’t packed on a Sunday night. It’s a bit of a drive for us, but we will definitely be back.The atmosphere and service gave classy vibes. Tasty cocktails and appetizers. Loved the authenticity of flavors — had our first empanada! We ordered several things off the specials menu, and while my own steak wasn’t a particularly tender cut, there are certainly plenty of options to choose from. Locals are lucky to have this place! Just wish we had saved room for dessert…“
