So here’s the thing, I didn’t have high hopes for this restaurant from go. It’s the only place to eat. That’s never good. Corners get cut, less care is taken when there’s no competition.
CRAB CAKES… NO.
I do not recommend the crab cakes. At all. Aside from being cold (and then rudely interrupted by the waitress when I was telling her this) they are almost all breading and filler.
There’s no need of this in a location of this nature. The waitress ignored my complaint & continued to talk over me to my wife about how she doesn’t get them because they are all breading. I was pretty taken back. The crab cakes are also absolutely not made to order. Which we were told they were and were fresh. Nope. They are preformed and sitting around waiting. They smelled. They tasted like the fridge.
Luckily, the fish n chips were good. Great fries. Great fish. Just not a big portion of fish. There could easily , for the price, be 2 more pieces of fish. That would add crazy WOW factor to portion size and make up for downfalls. Cole slaw was bland. It was ALMOST right. It irritates me that seafood restaurants skip the effort. I mean…. Cole slaw isn’t just an expect side to seafood. A lot of us actually WANT to be able to eat it.
I’m disappointed. We most likely will not be back.
Worth noting : it’s VERY small in here. At 4:30 on a Monday, off season, there were 10 dinners. Myself, wife. 2 other sets of 2 and then a 4 table. 3 guys came in and had to crowd at the bar I mean… squish up. It’s not really a bar. 2 sets of 2 came in and were turned away. Then a lady looking for 3. Turned away. Told an hour , hour 15 wait. Yes. I noticed all this. It’s a small room. Besides, it’s my job.

Probably the best meal I have had in Stonington in a long while, in or out of tourist season. Quick service, nice setting, and very good food quality. Unless you are dying for a pizza, don’t go elsewhere.

Highly recommended.
We had a lovely lunch on the outdoor deck. The view was perfect, the food was excellent, and the service by our hostess - Alison - was superb (despite a few unusual requests we had).
One of us had the daily catch of bass/asparagus/coconut rice, and the other guest had clam chowder soup, and a New England lobster roll. They were delicious and tasty.

Great view!! Food is good too!! I will say I was disappointed when I ordered the lobster macaroni and cheese after seeing the picture and reading a customers review mine had a 1/3 of the amount of lobster. Anyway everything else was good.
The service here was good, but that's about all that was good. The smell of stale grease greets you as you descend to the outside deck seating area. The lobster roll tasted muddy and did not come on a toasted roll or with lettuce as it should. The fries seemed very much like the pre-cut and breaded kind bought frozen in big bags and were overly processed in taste and gluey in texture. The calamari appetizer was tasteless and also seemed liked pre-prepared and frozen pieces from a bag thrown into the fryer. All in all a highly forgettable meal.

Fresh seafood right on the water in beautiful Stonington! We enjoyed the beer selection, some local oysters, fish & chips fried to perfection and the lobster mac & cheese. It was loaded with lobster meat and so delicious. Live music and the sounds of the harbor made for a perfect night.
