Stopped by for a quick bite. The stone walls and decor make it feel really cozy inside. Just a chill spot to grab some food and unwind for a bit.

Just a heads up, they only take cash. The picnic tables outside are nice though&mdash;they wipe them down right after people leave, so it always feels clean when you sit down.

The waiter was really on top of things, kept my water glass full and checked in just enough. Friendly guy, didn&#39;t feel rushed at all. That kind of service makes a meal.

The fish and chips were solid, and the fries were nice and crispy. But the real star was the chicken wings appetizer&mdash;huge portion, and that sweet chili sauce was just right.

Been coming here for years, and the live music by the harbor is the main reason. It&#39;s always chill, never too loud. Just a solid spot to unwind after work. The vibe is consistently good.

Love the old-school vibe here, feels like stepping back in time. The service is always friendly and efficient, which makes for a really relaxed meal.

The burger and fries were spot on, and our server was really attentive. It&rsquo;s definitely pricier than your average diner though. I did appreciate their short but thoughtful wine list&mdash;found a nice red that paired well. Just know you&rsquo;re paying for the quality.

Spacious inside and out, and they&rsquo;ve got a big private lot. That alone makes it a solid pick when you just don&rsquo;t want to hunt for parking.

Love coming here with friends! The vibe is perfect for catching up, even if you&#39;re not ordering drinks. The music&#39;s just right for conversation. Food&#39;s always on point. My only note is that the tables are a bit close together, so it can feel a little crowded when it&#39;s busy.

The steak sandwich here is simple but so satisfying. I like how the space feels open and airy, with those big windows letting in all the light. It&#39;s a nice spot to just sit and enjoy a meal without feeling rushed.

The salmon was really fresh, and they had these pretty fresh flowers on the tables. It was a nice, bright space for our group.

The pizza here is pretty good. The crust is nice and crisp, and I liked the fresh crumbled sausage. It was a bit on the pricey side, but it&#39;s a solid choice for a casual meal.

Service got a little slow when they were packed, but honestly, the food is so good I don&#39;t even mind waiting. The flavors are just spot-on.

Huge portions. My plate was still steaming when it arrived. Flavor was solid. Couldn&#39;t finish it all.

The private event space upstairs was perfect for our group. Marissa helped with everything, made it so easy.

The Chicken Diabla Chimichanga was fantastic. The chicken was juicy, the sauce had a nice smoky heat. Best margarita I&#39;ve had in Connecticut, hands down. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet.

Cozy spot with a nice back patio. Feels like a hidden gem. The food quality is solid, honestly rivals some places I&#39;ve tried in bigger cities. Perfect for a quick, quiet bite.

The calamari fritti was my go-to for a quick bite. Came out fast, crispy and hot. Perfect for a short lunch break. The branzino looked good too, maybe next time.

Easter dinner here. The lamb was cooked just right, tender and flavorful. Service was on point too. Really liked the cozy vibe of the place.

The salsa verde here is fantastic. They make it fresh daily, you can taste the tomatillos. It&#39;s got a bright, tangy kick that&#39;s just right. I get extra every time for my chips. The roja is good too, but the verde is the star.

The fettuccine bolognese was pretty good, especially with the ricotta. Their tiramisu was a fine way to finish. Decent dessert options overall.

Came in on Mother&#39;s Day, so it was packed. Honestly, I was expecting a wait. But the staff kept things moving smoothly, and our food still came out hot and tasted right. That&#39;s solid execution on a tough night.

Get a reservation, it&#39;s busy. Had the smash burger and halibut. Burger was solid, really hit the spot. Halibut was cooked just right, not dry at all. Shared the bread pudding after. Good spot for a reliable meal.

The lobster roll was the star. Fresh, buttery brioche, and the lobster itself was perfectly chilled and tender. Could have used a touch more seasoning, but the quality of the meat really came through.
