This is a really solid waterfront seafood place. Our bartender was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. We tried a bunch of dishes, standouts were the raw oysters and the clam chowder (which is pescatarian!). We would definitely return here.

Went here a couple nights ago as it was in our annual dining passport ( basically buy one get one free entree once per restaurant per year). Decor was beautiful and our waiter was really on top of it. The food was nothing more than ordinary, sub par at best. The calamari was 80 percent peppers 20 percent calimari. I honestly would have gotten over it and not posted a review until I found a hair in my entree. I immediately pushed the dish away and notified our waiter who was very apologetic. I did not want them to bring me anything else as it kind of ruined my appetite. Everyone makes mistakes and not every dish can be perfect. The part that really bugged us is that instead of taking it off our bill, mind you I hardly ate that much of it before finding the hair. They counted that as our free entree for the dining pass out of the 3 of us. It got really busy so we did not get a chance to talk to a supervisor about it. To make us use our passport on a dish that was sent back, I mean come on that is kind of absurd. Sadly because of this I don’t think I will be returning anytime soon. But I will reinstate that the decor was top tier as well as the service.

It's always been one of my favorite restaurants. I took my friends from out of town there for dinner last night. They are wanting to go back tonight for dinner so that's where we're headed in a few minutes. Thanks for offering such a special place.

We sat on the deck it was beautiful. The waiter was friendly and nice. We both had the baked scallop special, which was delicious. For desserts I had the mini cannolis and he had the nre york cheesecake. Both were excellent. I would definitely come here again

A wonderful location but food is mediocre

This place is awesome tragic missed opportunity. Such a great location to be wastea with poor service and only OK seafood. Calamari below average, Chili's fish tacos are better. No water brought to the table until 15 minutes after seating. Our server greet us by saying, 'i was told to bring you this' server forgot our beer and no water was ever refilled. 10 minutes to find the server to get our check. Go for beautiful sunset over the water and have a drink don't expect really good seafood or service you won't find it here.

The food was OK, a little over priced for what you got. The swordfish special was not hot, and the accompanying mashed peas had no flavor. I guess you are paying for the water view, which was great with the sunset. The key lime pie had no flavor, and wasn't sure why it was served with raspberry sauce? Being a Sunday night, maybe the usual kitchen staff wasn't present. In the past, the food and service were great. Not so much tonight...

Had their hot lobster roll!Sooooo delicious! Pricey, but worth it for a special occasion. Wasn't fond of the coleslaw but the sweet potato fries were also good.
Sat on the deck on the water on a beautiful day! Gorgeous!!!

Very nice and cozy atmosphere, but the quality of the food left us quite disappointed. There was very little seafood in the chowder and bisque, and the lobster roll and scallops were average at best.

Food was phenomenal! From service to view, everything was perfect. I know reviews talk about a long wait but it was nice waiting with a drink by the water. I definitely recommended these drinks: Aperol Sprits frozen and the bloody Mary. For for food: the hot lobster roll, blackened chicken tacos, fried fish tacos, the burrito, and the shrimp and fries.

The swordfish and the clam chowder were outstanding. The service was excellent, we showed up early for our reservation and they were able to accommodate us right away.

Went here with a big group of ladies and it was a lovely lunch experience. Lobster Loves Lobster. Little cup of bisque and a little roll with house made chips. Delicious. Excellent service.

Great little hideaway in Stonington village! Looking out onto the water was spectacular! Food and drinks were worth the trip! 😄
