Best fish and chips I had here, Love the summer vibes.
Rarely do I give 5 stars, but this place deserves 6! How is there not a line around the corner to get into this hidden gem! Where to start? Well, exactly where I did: the Pumpkin Caramel Espresso Martini met my best expectation of what that combination would taste like. The rest of the meal did not meet expectations; it blew right past them! If you are a fan of fried calamari, as I am, the Mediterranean Calamari from Constantine's was otherworldly: fresh, simple, yet with the perfect blend of Mediterranean flavors I had no idea were possible in calamari! Unfortunately, it will ruin every other calamari I eat outside of Constantine's, as it was by far the best I've ever had! Next, the main dish: Steak Frites. Asked for medium well and got the juiciest well-done NY strip I've had in a long time, so not bad for their only mistake. The steak was truly delicious, and to elevate things, it was served over a bed of Fries, spinach, tomatoes, and a creamy sauce, all bathed in the juices from the NY Strip! Not only did it look inviting, but the result of the presentation was a unique taste that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. Finally, dessert: a small portion of tres leches, tiramisu, and almond cream cake combined in one plate, each separate from the other, all a creamy delight that made me forget I just ate a week's worth of calories in one meal! All of this feast, where every item was best in class, for a mere $80.51 w/taxes before tip! I ate most of it, even though halfway through I was full, simply because I couldn't put my fork down for more than a few seconds. In reality, this meal, save for the martini, is more than enough for two hungry adults to share. Portions were not stingy, at all. The restaurant is pleasant inside and out, right on the water, so the ambiance is great, and the service was top-notch. I went on the first snow of the season on a Sunday evening, and it wasn't busy. Perhaps the service would be less responsive on a busy day, though I have no idea why this place isn't packed even in a blizzard! Truly a MUST GO TO place if you're visiting Connecticut. As an outsider (travel nurse) with limited exposure to the area, this is my favorite place that I've visited in all of New England. Congrats, staff and proprietor, you have created something truly special here. NEVER change a single thing...

Came here for lunch. Was ok. Drinks were good. My wife liked her buffalo chicken wedge salad. I had the tacos. They were ok. The clam fritters were ok.
Overall, a decent lunch.

Owen was our server today. He was friendly, our meals were exactly as we ordered them and he didn’t write a single thing down. Our food was great and came out in a timely manner. If we’re ever in the area again we would definitely stop by again. Thank you for your help today Owen!

I went to Constantine’s to celebrate my mother’s 97th birthday. The food was awesome! But better, yet, was our waiter whose name was Owen. He was very attentive and knowledgeable about the food. At the end of our meal he brought over a lovely piece of cake with a lit candle and ‘Happy Birthday’ written in chocolate on the plate. It made my mother’s night. We were so very appreciative of his kindness. We will visit again soon and recommend Constantine’s to all our friends and family.
We had the steak. It was great.
