Sea food should be cooked to order. Wife and I ordered the steamer dinner. Steamers were cold and under cooked. Very mushy. Red potatoes were cold. Corn was cold and water logged. Scallops were seared in burnt butter and some season. Just ok Shrimp dinner said 8 shrimp. We got 5 very boring season. Over all good atmosphere but food isn’t worth the price or the wait .
It’s sad considering it’s a direct waterfront restaurant.

Got the Twin Lobster Dinner for Father's Day and nothing beats it. Best deal on the shoreline by far. Plus, kids meals for only $9?? Hell yeah.

Outdoor restaurant. You can order food and drinks from a small building. You get a number, and it is called over a speaker. Pick up your order and be seated. Alcoholic beverages are sold under a tent on the deck. The view is beautiful. Food is good.

I was there last week kayaking on the Niantic River for over 3 hours. I couldn't wait to get a hot lobster roll and a cold drink afterwards with my friends. I am a local and know all about lobster and rolls.
The lobster roll was hot, but had a bunch of spices that have no business being on lobster. If you advertise other specialty lobster rolls, that's understandable. However, there are only hot or cold rolls. A hot lobster roll should be meat, bun, and butter only. It doesn't need whatever disgusting spices you add. Cold lobster roll the same. Meat, mayo, and bun. Maybe some cut up celery. Nothing else. Go try Dad's up the street. Much better

The food this time was not good and the people were not great maybe because of the time of year to bad

What a great spot! Right in the Niantic bay. The location is incredible and the food even better. Come down for a beer and some seafood at a better price than anyone in town.

Secret hideaway on the Cove in Niantic Bay . Open table on the deck overlooking the inlet or under an enclosure on the deck with bar service. Order at the kitchen window get a number and wait for a fantastic fresh claim strip dinner or scallops. The menu has something for everyone. Fantastic atmosphere
Great service. ❤️

WOW we were amazed by how good the seafood was here! Really cool atmosphere along the water and it was so easy to order. There was a short wait time to pick up our food and the broiled scallops were perfection.
