    I'm back again and again. Ordered 2 of these and one to go for a road trip back to Florida. Best ones in the city.

    This place is amazing. They got pizza, pasta, and many other things I did not try yet. I recommend the spaghetti with sauce

    Small special
    Su K.

    Our final day in Connecticut began with sleeping in. Ahhhhhh, I HEART vacations. And praise the Lord that my 8 month old also decided to sleep in. After snoozing the alarm for the 20th time, we finally got up and since we wanted to hit up the cider making demonstration at B.F. Clyde's by 1pm, a quick lunch was in order. Pizza Palace was a quick and delicious spot for lunch. Food - We ordered a small special ($8.75), which was a 10" pizza with pepperoni, sausage, meatball, onions, peppers, and mushrooms. The crust was thick and similar to Pizza Hut's pan pizza, only much less greasy. How they managed to get the crust so crispy on the outside without making it oily is a mystery to me. The small is large enough to feed 2 or 3, so if you need more food, the large special is $16.90. We also ordered a small Italian combo grinder ($5.95). We asked them to cut it into 4 pieces, and it was almost like having a sushi-sized sandwich (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lHpGGbjFwTwXvyoTaQGKBw?select=IiGO0PN9cnOmxJN9kGI9ZQ). Mr. Owl may have taken 3 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop, but he'd only need a bite or two to get through these pieces. The sandwich itself wasn't anything out of the ordinary but would be a decent option for lunch. They also have Italian specialties, such as spaghetti, ravioli ($6.50), and calzones ($6.95), and seafood, such as fish and chips ($9.45), clam strips ($9.45), and fried scallops ($11.75). Location - the interior was spacious and would be good for groups. We went around lunch time on a Saturday and there were several other customers. Note: Pizza Grotto is right next door and every time we drove by, there wasn't a single car in the parking lot. You almost have to feel bad for it. It's kinda like they're the stinky kid who got caught picking his nose. I found myself strangely sympathetic towards PG, but judging by the lack of customers, make sure you go to Pizza Palace. Service - was incredibly friendly. They were kind enough to cut the small grinder into 4's. We had less than an hour for lunch, and the food came out quickly and we made the cider demo on time. Great spot for a quick pizza or sandwich in Groton.

    Mozzarella sticks (comes with six, but I ate one...lol).

It's not easy being a woman and being by yourself but Erin the bartender made me feel welcome right away. My battery almost died and she went above and beyond by lending me her personal charger. I was grateful due to the fact that my phone was dying. She handled the bar with ease. Most people seemed to know each other and were very pleasant. I saw a couple pool tables to the side. Keno was playing but I'm not sure what else they offered. TV's were on playing sports and the enthusiast were really enjoying the game. I had already eaten so I can't tell you about the food but from what I saw it looked delicious If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely stop in and hopefully it's Erin's shift.

We started off with both raw and roasted oysters, both of which, we some of the best we have ever had. I love Shashuka. I've never had it with tomatillos. This version is now my favorite. I enjoyed the play between savory and acid. I chose my eggs to be prepared over easy expecting the yolks to add the desired richness that tomatillos can handle without overpowering their bite. What set this version apart for me was the addition of the pickled vegetables. They greatly complimented the tomatillos with their own sweetness and acidity that made for a well balanced bite. Others in our party felt similarly, that their meals were so flavorful and so well execucted that it made for a superb dining experience.

I really liked the ambiance of the space, it's quite comfortable and has a nautical aesthetic. We were sat in a cozy little corner by the window, a great spot for watching the bustling of the little seaside town. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable of the restaurant's offerings, noting in their introduction that the focus of the menu is on fresh local seafood, and that everything on the menu is freshly made in house. I was very eager to try a cup of the clam chowder for an appetizer since many other reviewers have said that it's some of the best they've ever tasted, and after trying it for myself I'm more than inclined to agree with them; it had a perfect consistency and excellent flavor. Boyfriend wanted the fried mozzarella so we got some of that, and that was pretty tasty as well. Boyfriend got the chicken parm sandwich for his meal and I got the fish and chips. I didn't end up trying the sandwich, but he said he liked it. My fish and chips plate was pretty good; the fish tasted just a tad under seasoned to me, however the flavorful tartar sauce helped with that and I could tell the fish itself was great quality. The hand cut fries were good, but I wasn't really a fan of the coleslaw. Overall we had a pleasant experience at The Mariner. A very good choice for fresh seafood and a relaxed vibe. I'm sure I'll be in town again at some point; if I come back to The Mariner, I'll make a point to get a bowl of the clam chowder instead of a cup, because that alone is absolutely worth returning for... but until then, I'll be dreaming about it.
