My husband had the grilled seafood medley which was excellent. We also had the panzanella salad with burrata special and oysters (the oysters were just ok, not awesome, the cocktail sauce needed more horseradish). The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. The view is incredible, we enjoyed watching the sail boats and others coming in and out of the dock.

We took a seat at the bar where we could take in the view of the ocean and see the sky as a major snowstorm was approaching. I ordered the chili and my friend ordered the chowder bread bowl. They were just what we needed on this cold winter afternoon. The service was efficient and friendly, the decor was all about the sea and the location outstanding.

Great atmosphere, cocktails, and bartender. Glad we stumbled upon this place. Highly recommend.read more

Danger Bar - Mystic, CT…read more If you're looking for a hidden local speakeasy type vibe in Mystic, Danger Bar is it. The cocktail menu is outstanding--creative, well-balanced, and full of flavors that make you want to linger and try more than one. The space itself is small and intimate, which adds to the charm and makes it feel like you've stumbled into a secret spot. Service can be a bit slower since there's usually just one person running the show, but honestly, that's part of the vibe here. This isn't the place to be in a rush--it's the place to relax, sip something special, and soak in the atmosphere. The overall energy is welcoming and laid-back, making it a perfect stop for anyone who appreciates a good drink and a cozy setting. Highly recommend if you're in Mystic and want a cocktail experience that feels both personal and memorable. Cheers

Connecticut, Stonington (near Rhode Island border): Charming spot on the main road in Stonington,…read moremade it a perfect pit stop for lunch after spending the morning in Watch Hill and driving around. Fabulous and friendly service... we split roast beef wrap because we knew we were having a big dinner ($19). They kindly split the sandwich and kettled cooked potato chips (sweet potato combo). Loved their coastal artwork dotting the walls (apparently the art changes). Warm, inviting, casual.

This was not the experience I was used to at Noah's. First of all we had a reservation. We arrived…read moreon time only to be given the smallest table in the restaurant in the middle of the restaurant where the service kept walking back-and-forth every five minutes. There was a booth, but I guess that was reserved for their regulars and screw the people who come up for only two weeks during the summer.!! Food was so so. My sister and I both had burgers that were OK however, mine did have some grizzly in it and the clam chowder I believe was somewhat flat and needed some help. The service was OK and that's about the only thing good that I can say about the place after this last visit. Needless to say it goes on the bottom of my list of restaurants to eat at in Stonington.

Sweet with a taste cinnamon and the tequila is infused with the cinnamon and honey. Dipped in graham cracker and cinnamon spice! Delish! Nacho chips and selection of dipping sauces was great!

We will be back!

This is much more than your local taco joint; the flavors are delightfully complex and preparation is on point. The service is always impeccable and attentive. There's some pretty great restaurants in the area, but I think honesty, this is currently my favorite location.

Currently docked in: Paris!…read more Wow. Truly a phenomenal dining experience all around and I'm very sad I didn't think to take pictures. We went for an early seating yesterday and bravely brought our 8 month old. This was already a bold ask because this restaurant doesn't scream children but port of call took it with stride. We were accommodated with a highchair and several staff stopped to say hi to our baby. (For his part, our baby was relatively chill although a loud babbler, and no tears which we would call a win). Now onto the product. Absolutely phenomenal. We were wowed from start to finish. Every single drink, dish, and dessert far exceeded our expectations. The happy hour menu is very generously priced and had several favorites off the actual menu, as well as some items which I believe are available all the time. Our server (I'm very sorry I can't think of his name) was fantastic and offered excellent recommendations to like drinks on the current menu based on drinks we said we usually steer towards. Every drink (we had 4 different ones) absolutely knocked it out of the park. This would be an awesome spot for cocktails and apps with friends but is also a superb full service date night spot. We can't (and won't) stop raving about port of call!!!

Let's start with the positives:…read more Strong flavor choices, boldly executed, with notable skill and expertise. Uniquely thoughtful menu with beautiful ingredients. This restaurant provides a higher quality meal than 99% of restaurants in CT. To the detriment of an otherwise fantastic experience: The overall experience here lacks some of the polish you'd expect from a restaurant operating at such a high culinary level. There seem to be consistent breakdowns of the overall communication, planning and operations throughout the restaurant experience. While the service team is friendly, capable, and professional, there are recurring lapses in communication and organization that affect the overall flow of service. These hiccups express a system lacking in polish and organization, perhaps due to a breakdown of cohesion, a weak overall structure, or management issues...? The intimate dining room is a part of the restaurant's charm, but it also leaves little room for error. Seating logistics and pacing require careful management, and we've experienced a few situations where communication between the front and back of house appeared to break down. To the staff's credit, any issues we've encountered have always been handled directly, graciously, and professionally. Port of Call remains a top dining choice, but the operational inconsistencies keep it from feeling like an automatic recommendation every time. Food: 5/5 Servers: 5/5 Finesse/Operations: 2/5

I actually expected it to be really busy when we got there around 10:45, but there were quite a few open tables. They sat us in a queue table right in the window near the water. I couldn't decide what to get because everything looks so good. I ended up with the Patatas Brava which had soupy in it. I haven't had soup in years and they made it really stand out with the home fries, eggs, and crema. My wife had the basic breakfast, and everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. We ordered an apple crêpe for the table that had caramel and toasted almonds on it. The staff was also great. We had one waitress, but a second one was always there to check on us. The service gets five stars for sure! I wish we had a place like this near our house. It's right on the line of Westerly Rhode Island so we were able to walk around downtown Westerly which was really nice.

What a joke…read more.. We were just here 11 days ago and it was completely fine. This visit was a different story, and honestly still hard to believe. Our waitress was walking away mid-sentence while we were trying to order. She never asked my girlfriend what side she wanted, just assumed fries without mentioning other options. The appetizer came out wrong and had to be sent back. When entrees came out, everyone at the table had food except me. My shrimp taco showed up 10 minutes later, clearly forgotten, and I was supposed to get four shrimp but only got two. Gone in one bite. When I brought it up, the manager didn't offer to remake it. She just knocked 50% off the price since I'd technically gotten "half" my shrimp. Not an apology, not a fix, just a discount calculated like a math problem. I've maybe written one review in my life. This experience was bad enough that I couldn't not write this one. Forgotten orders, wrong sides, missing food, and a manager who couldn't be bothered to actually fix it. We won't be back.
