“Loved Aragosta! Incredible location and gorgeous place. Very tastefully done. The food was wonderful! We went for happy hour and had several items to share. We ordered pizza, oysters, a clam dish and pate. The drinks were wonderful as well. The Aragosta was on my bucket-list and it did not fail my expectations!“

“Best lobster roll in Maine and an unbelievable smoked haddock sandwich. Now serving upmarket breakfast sandwiches, baked goods, potato salad and soups this is easily the best place to eat in Stonington.“

“Buck's Restaurant is beyond a 5 Star restaurant. Having traveled the world over the last 30 Years, I've been fortunate enough to dine at some pretty amazing, top of the top, restaurants. Buck's Restaurant is at the very top of my list now. When you step into Buck's, you immediately feel a sense of elegance, and creative style all around you. I started off with Alaskan Snow crab as an appetizer. It was delightfully out of this world. Presented beautifully, with yuzu beurre blanc sauce, it looked and tasted so great, just right! Next up, a blood orange vinaigrette salad. The salad was refreshing and felt like an energetic, splash of light. A refreshing and uplifting adventure, so tasty, I was all in! The main course was the Rack of Lamb. I was absolutely floored by how delicious and captivating this Main Course was. You can tell that the Lamb was of the highest caliber of meat one can wish to dine on. Cooked perfectly, this was one of my very favorite dishes I've ever eaten. I've traveled to Greece and I can say without a doubt, this was the best lamb I have ever had. Presented with crushed pistachios and a tasteful amount of hot honey, accompanied by some of the tastiest pureed potatoes one could wish to have. I was in pure ecstasy eating this fabulously rich and filling dish. At this point, I wasn't sure I would have any room for dessert. However, there was no way I could pass up trying Buck's Chocolate Mousse. Chef Phil Le Breton informed me that the Mousse was made from a select batch of Belgian Chocolate. I believe him, I was in my glory. My taste buds experienced a perfectly sweet, seductive chocolate mousse that just was frankly heaven. If you want the very best, look no further than Buck's Restaurant. It's privately cool, the food is creative and expertly prepared. The staff is highly professional, always there when you need them, but a focus on giving you the privacy and space to enjoy your company and meal. Hands down, my favorite restaurant.“
