Beautiful Restaurant. Seafood is superb. We happen to go on a night that they were hosting three major parties so parking was challenging and Food took extra long… but the lobster lollypops are EXCELLENT. Branzino bowl was Delicious! Salmon burger so so good. We enjoyed our visit – will try to come back during less busy time.

Hot spot for distinctive cocktails, popular and local draft beer, a smaller, but smart wine list, an eclectic blend of menu choices featuring the best of local shellfish, even pizza and tacos, and Live entertainment. Nice bar.

So…I ordered the sticky toffee cake hoping it was similar to Gordon Ramsay’s sticky toffee pudding and guess what!!??? It’s better!! And closer to home!! I can’t wait to go back and order it again. I was part of group of 15, Anatoli was amazing and what a beautiful name. Brunch pizza was also DELICIOUS!! I got the egg well done.

On A Positive Note: The Happy Hour menu offers great variety.
While it was difficult to secure parking, once inside, I enjoyed the water view. The establishment is spacious and the service was attentive. I started with the Salmon Evoo which was dried out. My mother’s order had a visible amount of sauce and significantly more pasta. I would not order this dish again. Imho dishes should be similar in proportion. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the ahi tacos and the hot oil pizza. However, I found the online Taco Tuesday advertisement to be a bit misleading given I could only select one kind of taco. Furthermore, I don’t recall shrimp being an option.
The margaritas were impressive for $5. I must shoutout Erica for providing us with friendly and attentive service.
The Verdict: I recommend the ahi tuna tacos and hot oil pizza. I plan to return to try the dinner menu, in the near future.

The place is amazing, I went there last night with my family for my sons college graduation, and there were 9 of us, and they did not disappoint. The menu is great. We had 4 vegetarians with us, and they were happy with the options, as was everyone else. They have a great drink menu, appetizers, and amazing main dishes. Our waitress and the rest of the staff were spectacular and very accommodating, our glasses were full, and everything we ordered was as asked for. And it was an extremely busy Saturday night, so it was a packed house, and everyone in the place seemed to be having a great time. The place itself is gorgeous as well, even a great place to watch the games as many people were there for that. Recommend 1000%

My mom and I visited for dinner last night for a girls night out and to also support the special fundraiser they were having for the Boys & Girls Club. It was our first time visiting, and I’m so glad we finally made it in. What a charming spot on the banks of the Housatonic! The dining room had a great vibe, and I definitely want to come back in the warmer weather to enjoy the patio. Our server, I believe his name was Robert, was attentive and friendly. All of the food was delicious, and we really loved the piece of German chocolate cake for dessert sourced from the bakery next door. We’re often in this area and definitely see ourselves coming back again soon!

The food was great, and the happy hour made it even better. $5 margaritas, $9 for four street tacos, $9 for a hot oil pizza, $9 for 6 wings? Yes, and they all tasted good. I would definitely come back. The service is also some of the best we’ve had post-Covid

I really enjoyed eating here. Already went two times for birthday dinner. Went on a Sunday at around four o’clock and they have a pasta menu with more choices. They also have a great mocktail menu for people who just wants a fancy drink with no alcohol. The second time the drinks where a little disappointing. But the waite staff was very accommodating. Also when I went there the first time they accommodated me when I didn’t like my food choice. Very nice atmosphere. I love the decor of the place. And the service was also great. Everyone loved their food and I have picky eaters and a foodie. They do sing happy birthday and it’s one of those sprinkler candles that make it feel extra special. Definitely recommend this place.

I had a fantastic experience at Pier 131 a couple of nights ago! The food and drinks were excellent, and the service was top-notch. I sat in the bar area and was pleasantly surprised to find it was trivia night—while I wasn’t expecting it, the energy was great, and everyone seemed to be having a fun time.
The Espresso Martini was a 10/10, absolutely perfect. The Cosmo was a bit on the sweeter side than I prefer but still very enjoyable. For food, I had the Steak Frites and Lobster Lollipops, and both were absolutely delicious!
I’m already looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu. A special shoutout to our waiter—an older gentleman who took care of us this past Wednesday night on the right side of the bar. I wish I caught his name because his service was excellent.
Thank you, Pier 131, for a great night—I’ll definitely be back!

There were 3 of us for dinner at 5:30 on a Sunday evening. Not busy, no wait. Seated outside. It’s very pretty views! Food was good, I wouldn’t say anything outstanding. Basic burger, fries, pasta, tacos. Street corn dip was good! Service was very slow, which was surprising since it was not busy. If I go back I don’t think I would eat outside again, the bugs were terrible. And don’t order the Gummy Bear drink! It tastes like Robitussin. Very limited parking. I don’t know where everyone would park if it was a busier time.
