    Outside looking at the back of the restaurant

    Excellent spot for a bite to eat. Whether it's a sandwich or an entree. Scenic seasonal restaurant at the marina with plenty of covered outdoor space and nicely decorated indoor space. We shared an appetizer special with fresh made hummus and delicious falafel balls, diver scallops with lobster risotto and mud pie. Service was great. Enjoy it before it closes for the season. Only reason why it's not 5 stars is my mojito lacked muddled mint

    Caprese salad

    Beautiful restaurant with nice hostess and waitress however, the food is not great. The caprese salad was 16$ and it's barely a half of a tomato. It's lacking cheese and incredibly sloppy. My husband had a salmon sandwich which was very fishy and just so-so. We've given this place a try a few times now but unfortunately, it doesn't get better. Hoping they can take the off season to re group and figure out how to make positive changes. They should be doing much better than what they are.

    Jalapeño infused margarita with Szechuan pepper salt rim.

    Cute place on the marina in a scenic coastal town. The place has a great vibe. I arrived on a Thursday evening after meeting the manager at another place the day before. She told me they made their pasta in-house everyday. How could I pass that up? I ordered the "Cowabunga, Dude" margarita (pictured below) at the manager's recommendation. Jalapeño infused margarita with a Szechuan pepper and salt rim. It was good but I immediately took out the half slice of jalapeño because it was spicy enough for me when served. When the server came over to me to take my order, I asked about the fresh bread smell I encountered when I walked in. She told me that they made homemade foccacia. So I, of course, ordered some of that. She told me it might take a minute since the kitchen was cutting up a fresh batch. In addition I ordered a half-dozen oysters, a cup of their clam chowder and an appetizer size portion of their homemade fettuccine a la Carbonara. 30 minutes later.....the focaccia finally came on a cold plate which matched the temperature of the bread. Very disappointing. The Cape Cod oysters were good, although their mignonette could have used more shallots. It was also served with no fork which I found odd. Then my chowder and pasta showed up at the exact same time which was disappointing given that you don't want to leave that freshly made pasta sitting there while you're eating your soup. The chowder was good but nothing like the chowder I ate at Donahue's the day before (check out that place in Madison). The pasta left a lot to be desired. The texture of the pasta was good, but the sauce was dry and gummy. There was loads of pancetta and a good amount of cheese spread throughout which I believe attributed to the gumminess of the sauce. The dish was heavy and needed a fresh element. It was not what I had hoped for at all. The food service was subpar as well, with long wait times to receive your orders, ill-timed food, and long gaps between server visits after a shift change. I really wanted to love this place. They are a newer family-owned and operated venue just starting to get their legs under them in COVID times - so I give them a lot of credit for that. I overheard one of the waiters tell another table that it could get tough when employees called out because they were running lean as it was. If the shucker called out, then he would have to shuck. If the dishwasher called out, they'd have to call his mom in to help. I truly hope they can fix their issues and become one of the great local spots on the map. If I could I would have given them 3.5 stars instead of 3. But with the faults in service I just couldn't round up to 4.

    There's a nice view of the water and a marina from the patio. But if you are looking for delicious food - go somewhere else to eat.

    Great atmosphere and small plates. Service was top notch. We recommend sitting on the deck.

    My wife and I had a great meal at 374 when we spent a day in Niantic. We started with the buffalo…read morewings, which were excellent. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. My wife ordered the tomato soup, which she also said was very flavorful. I had the hot and cold lobster roll combo and loved the option to try both styles. The lobster was fresh, generously portioned, and delicious! The cocktails were also outstanding and complemented the meal perfectly. The restaurant has a very cute, welcoming vibe and we stopped by between lunch and dinner times, so it was not busy. It was perfect. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Niantic!

    Came here to celebrate a birthday with a group of 5. The dining area has soft lighting that made…read morethe dining experience feel more intimate. In the summer, the 374 environment can be a little chaotic, but it was perfectly relaxed/comfortable now that's it the winter. For appetizers, I had the pork belly and liked that, some others in the group didn't care for it as much, expecting it to melt more in their mouth. For my entree, I had the Yuzu BBQ Ribs. The serving size was very generous. The ribs, mac and cheese, and cole slaw were all good. Service was attentive and friendly. When we had desserts, they brought out a candle with the birthday girl's dessert and sang. My only nitpick is we were not a big fan of the desserts. We tried the cheesecake and bread pudding this trip and were not huge fans of either. In the past, we had gotten crème brûlée and were not big on that one either. Overall, the food was very good and we will definitely be coming back in the future!
