“Had a nice visit today at Stonington Vineyard. When talking to the staff found out one had some mutual fur babies. One of which was a spunky calico. Had to share this photo when I got home of my calico checking out my purchase.. Love the wine and staff! Always gracious and the wine is perfect.“

“Its harder and harder to find GOOD beer. Beer'd always delivers with an exceptional IPA menu, unique seasonal brews and always Midnight Oil... one of the best oatmeal stouts I've had. The culinary scene in coastal Connecticut is incredible, these guys definitely deliver the brews to start off any night or enjoy with the best dinner. (We found that many restaurants in the area serve their offerings). Definitely a must try when in the Stonington / Mystic area! Cheers!“

“A culinary delight! I took my family to Oyster Club on a Saturday evening after some shopping in Mystic and had a wonderful experience. The oyster happy hour was fantastic. As a raw oyster enthusiast, I was elated at the quality and price. I had a dozen oysters myself and had to stop myself from getting more- they were SO GOOD! The blackfish I had for dinner was excellent. The ramp hummus was a real highlight. For dessert, we had the maple ice cream which was the most delicious ice cream I have ever had. It was a real treat to come here. You can tell that the food is made with heart and served with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. I’ll definitely be back soon.“

“Great place for a great bite. Locally sourced meat, non seed oil fried foods, tasty sauces and reasonably priced. They offer grass fed beef and have the same locally sourced meats used in their meals for sale in the refrigerator near the counter.

Favorite sandwich is the Buffalo chicken sandwich with their spicy crispy chicken!“

Scrumptious. Definitely recommend ordering ahead of time and scheduling a time to pick it up if you can.“

“Best Ice Cream. Chocolate was delicious. Husband had Rum Raisin, loved it“

“The coffee is excellent! No acidity and smooth.“

“We stopped by here on a whim while on vacation and were incredibly impressed by this place. All of the 8 beers we tried on the flights were delicious and the location is a cute old home with tons of character and atmosphere. You should come here too, you won't regret it.Shout out to Captains Daughter and Autumn Winds for being our favorites.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! Planning a secret 80th birthday celebration for my father from 200 miles away in NJ, they made this event memorable in many ways. Jerry, Alyssa, and the whole family and staff went over the top. They provided us with a dedicated area and servers that didn’t miss a step. The texture, temperature, and seasoning of each dish were delectable and authentic. Jerry’s meatballs were all that. Cannoli’s the best we’ve had. Great ambiance, great service, and sumptuous authentic Italian food. This is easily one of, if not, the best meals we’ve ever eaten. I cannot recommend this place enough! Assolutamente favoloso!“

“Everything I've had at Nanas has been excellent! my favs are the drinks, risotto balls, pizza and hot donuts! The staff is the best!“

“This is a must stop place to visit! The baked goods, everything is so delicious the best cider doughnuts ever eaten 🤤 😋…Not only is this place educational for watching and learning how cider is made the old fashioned way but because the ppl are so amazingly friendly its family owned and 3 Generations work on the grounds and love what they do! I personally met and spoke to 2 of many, John who is in the mill making the cider and will tell you all you need to know about it. As well as Amy (Nurse on site, John’s sister and her mom makes the cider doughnuts, she goes in at 3am to do so😳) who was so friendly and helpful she and some of the workers and some patrons helped my father,who has an inner ear issue with vertigo. Came on all of a sudden right at the register these ppl were so helpful and came to his aid got him to a chair during this scary 😟 time for him. I can’t thank them enough but go show your support and enjoy some hard cider 🍺 and pick up wine and apple pie 🥧 for home! Dogs 🐶 are welcome!! Thanks everyone and thank you again Nurse Amy your the Best!!!🥰“

“We had an unforgettable experience! It was a snowy Saturday in late February when we arrived. We indulged in a variety of IPAs at this charming classic home, built in the 18th century New England style. The layout was superb, offering plenty of tables and seats to choose from. The bartender, Justin, proudly informed us that all the murals were original, leaving us in awe! They were reminiscent of the Wadsworth Atheneum (CT), showcasing their age and historical significance. Whether you’re here for the beer or not, this building is worth exploring with its iconic status. What an incredible opportunity to tour such a historic gem! We’ll definitely return to enjoy more delicious beer.“

“Must try, when visiting Mystic! Go multiple times and discover something new to enjoy on each visit!“

“Best cold pressed juices! I’m a new Weekly “stopper”. I place an order on line generally 24hours prior to pick up. (So easy to order) pick up being just as quick and easy. Staff is always so kind and accommodating!! To be 💯 honest, these are THE FRESHEST juices around! I have tried many other cold pressed juices and these are not comparable!!! Karma uses fresh ingredients and the difference is in every sip! Literally Karma Kitchen juices WELL SURPASS ALL OTHER JUICES I’ve tried! No turning back!! I’m so grateful I found this place! 🥕🥒“

“Super delicious, fast service, cool decor/venue and prices are great! Highly recommend!“

Our regular waitress is Irene and she always remember us and our preferences. The food is good, the view is great and the service we receive from Irene is fantastic! See you again in the Spring!“

“Good wings and burgers. And the service was excellent“

“Today, 3 of us had lunch at your restaurant. Our server Valerie was great and the food was delicious. We’ve just experienced a devastating fire at our apartment complex a little over a week ago and some of us lost everything. We’ve been staying in a nearby hotel as massive repairs are in the works. When Valerie came with our check, she asked if we wanted to buy a raffle ticket to which we explained our situation. As we were getting ready to pay our bill, Valerie came over and said our lunch was on them. We couldn’t believe it. Thank you Valerie and management of the 99 Restaurant in Westerly for your kindness to us!“

“such amazing care staff! never a wrong order! love this starbucks!!“

Overall, I would recommend the Windjammer Surf Bar in Westerly, Rhode Island. It is a great place to go for a fun night out with friends or family.“

“Although I still love the atmosphere of the place, I think both food quality, menu choices & service have all declined. Two last times I went I found servers less friendly than in previous years, menu not as varied & food not as good. An example would be the sides that they give you with a sandwich is no longer french fries or homemade chips, but instead a potato salad or greens which was ok. The server did split things when asked but not exactly friendly about anything. I've been coming here from the very beginning when they first opened and I've seen a slow decline. The hostess who greats you & parking attendants continue to be friendly & welcoming. I think the dining servers need to step it up a bit & the food needs a little tweaking with both variety & quality.“
