Excellent views, generally good food…and when the risotto and sauce aren’t the great servers make it right.
This place is a classic summer institution for a reason. It’s that good.
The ribs are outstanding but everything else on their menu is strong…especially the seafood in season if you are a seafood lover.
Never had a bad server. Always a couple fongreat beers on tap and they rotate some new brews every so often. Entertainment on the patio is not uncommon.
And the prices are reasonable for the meal.
Recommended – especially outdoors in the summer.

Nice spot with good views, tables adhered to social distancing rules. Food was fresh and hot, a little expensive in my opinion but the food was great!

The location is perfect for enjoying summer seafood in the afternoon (around 4pm in the weekend). Despite the menu is very generic, the service and atmosphere there is very amusing! Good experience over all!

Have never eaten here but love the landscaping . They always put large Queen palms out for the summer and it always makes for a nice picture

I wasn’t impressed with this spot. Usually when you get to a place that looks like it needs a little care, the food and service make up for it. However, this wasn’t it. My party arrived when it was relatively slow, slow enough for staff to be standing around and chatting to each other, which is fine. But my party didn’t receive any service for almost 10 minutes while the staff just talked with each other. Eventually we got menus and ordered and the wait for the food wasn’t bad. However the quality of food was severely lacking in flavor, so I’d recommend just drinks and super basic foods here. On the flip side, it’s by the water with an awesome view, and the music was actually pretty good.

Love this location. Happy hour or dinner on the deck overlooking the Niantic River is always just beautiful. Food is always very good, service is better upstairs than downstairs (upstairs is the dining room, downstairs is a very busy bar). Live music on a regular basis – which can be too loud when sitting outside unless you’re there specifically to listen to the band. We’re regulars here!

Nice location, but the food isn’t great. Steamed mussels were dry and tough, nachos were dry with very little cheese and anything else, and the ribs seemed reheated and had bottled sauce. The steak sandwich was good though.

The service was great and very friendly. We were seated quickly. But they were out of champagne and other wines, cucumbers and beef ribs.
They are shutting down for the season next month so the menu is getting sparse.
Two of us ordered the prime rib sandwich. One had a huge thick piece of prime rib cooked medium. Perfect.
Mine was a thin barely there piece that had the consistency of shoe leather. Good flavor but so tough. Part of it was as thin as shaved steak, while the other side was 1/4″thick.
Clam chowder was good. My husband enjoyed his pork ribs. He ordered strawberry shortcake and it was in a margaritas glass. Strawberries in the glass with a piece of cake on top of the rim with whipped cream on top. Really hard to eat with a plastic spoon.
First time there. Don’t know if I would go back again at the beginning of the season next year.
