I took the train from NYC to Westbrook and waited here to be picked up at the Highliner as it is…read morereally just a train stop with no station, but the Highliner is right next door. The bartender was friendly and made me a very large aperol spritz (it came in a tall glass) and I could tell that everyone else was a local here to watch sports. Not being a local I felt a bit out of place but not in an intimidating or unwelcoming way. A fine spot to wait for a train, but not somewhere I'd probably go unless I was a local. Note: Cash Only but there is an ATM on site

First time coming here after visiting Lavender Pond Farm. Dog friendly outside with seating area…read more We ordered the McBarrel nachos which came with ground beef, tomato's, pickles, melted cheese and their special sauce (tasted like thousand island/big Mac sauce) We also ordered a cider but it wasn't as bubbly, tasted flat, but they were happy to swap if for a canned Down East cider I also got a plain spicy margarita. Very basic. Asked for flavoring and they have more sweeter stuff: strawberry, pomegranate Food and drinks were all out quick We were specifically looking for dog friendly places online and found an ad for "Yappy hour"; dog friendly food and drinks. Although this was an ad from last year unknowingly, we were still able to get a puppy bowl for our dog (hamburger, hotdog carrots and treats). Who I'm assuming was the owner, came out, greeted us, made some small talk and was on his way. Staff were friendly and food was good.

In the warmer months, there are several picnic tables to enjoy your meal outside (this area is dog friendly too!). My friend and I sat at the bar and were lucky enough to be greeted with some live music. The bartender was friendly and attentive. The menu isn't large, but it has a good variety of food and drink options. I opted for the Cowboy Griddle Wrap with chicken and a pumpkin cider. The wrap was flavorful with cowboy caviar, avocado, and cilantro lime aioli with chicken and melted cheddar cheese. If you are in the area, it's a great spot for a quick drink and bite to eat.

Hands down the new best restaurant on the shoreline. Creative menu that updates seasonally,…read moreabsolutely delicious food, cosy ambiance with great music taste that's not played too loud, and very attentive friendly service. I've been several times since they opened and almost always get the salmon. What I love is that it's not always the same dish, it changes but always heavenly. The last time it had pumpernickel breadcrumbs yum! I had the faux foi gras(yay no tortured ducks) and it was not only beautiful but delicious. Then I recently tried the tofu appetizer which was equally delightful.. hope it stays on the menu a while, I love tofu done well. I've also had glazed carrots with hummus, trout, and brussel sprouts.. all top notch. Great wine selection and well made mixed drinks. Definitely my new favorite spot. You'll need a reservation for a table most days and get there early for bar seating.

Cozy confines Fun decor…read moreOutstanding food My wife and I came here on a Saturday night for a date and found it a delightful surprise. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and prompt without being over-present. The menu was rife with tasty options - we went with a salad special that incorporated grapefruit and a peanut Thai dressing, a Tavern burger, a mushroom bolognese, and the house special Kentucky butter cake - each was phenomenal. Our drinks were also prepared well. The surrealist artwork all around was a subtle touch in what at first appeared to simply be a neat and tidy dining spot, just with a little more imagination than it first appeared to have. A really outstanding spot - over an hour from my home, but we'll certainly be back. Highly recommended.

The beer was cold and the food was pretty good. The had lots of different options. I would have liked to have seen some more traditional English dishes though like bangers and mash, or sausage rolls, or even a shepherds pie maybe. But they did have fish and chips. I opted for the Chicken and Waffles, and it was just what I wanted. They used a siracha maple syrup which was different, yet pretty tasty. I also sampled the Mac and cheese and the French fries--All very good. The place was pretty big, in fact it seemed bigger than its parking lot size. They had both indoor and outdoor seating and lots of it. On a Sunday afternoon, they weren't too busy. It is a place I would return though.

My friend is a huge fan of karaoke, I'd much rather watch others then sing myself, occasionally I…read moremight sing too. While in Old Saybrook we came across Comfort Cafe, it's right next to Quality Inn Hotel. I think the guests of the hotel might be in on a pleasant surprise if they stop in here on a weekend night. Comfort Cafe aesthetically is nothing special, it just looks like a dive bar. They also serve food, I'm not familiar with it, we never saw a menu, or anyone order anything. My friend and I sat at the bar and had Twisted Teas to drink. This place ended up being a lot of fun! Singer after singer came on the dance floor, and brought the place to life. They even handed out instruments to random people. What a great touch! I've never seen this at a karaoke bar before. There were shakers, and tambourine drums, and the DJ himself had a djembe drum! This was so unexpected and lovely! People were dancing, singing and having a great time! I'm glad we discovered this hidden little gem.

Swung by here on a Saturday afternoon, and they were open. Apparently they close for the winter,…read morebecause I've tried a couple other times. We sat outside to enjoy the view. Our waitress was lovely. We ordered cocktails, which were pretty good, and the bang bang shrimp- yum!!! As well as the fried calamari (pretty good). We followed up with a second round of drinks- another cocktail for my husband, which was unique and tasty , and a glass of wine for me. Honestly...my rating may have been a 5 if the pour on the glass of wine wasn't so stingy. My husband said "it looks like that was what was left in the bottle and they didn't feel like opening another." As we were there midday, we opted for sandwiches: lobster roll (a little pricier than most places, but I get todays market), and a BLT, which was very much enjoyed. The fries were delicious. Our waitress, Abby, was delightful, and the food was good. Again... it wasn't cheap, so a bigger pour on the wine would have been appreciated, but service and ambience go a long way. Summer is just beginning, so we'll probably be back.

8/4/25: We were traveling back home on 95 and started to get hungry for lunch…read more Thanks to Yelp, this 5 Star "Turtle Cafe" just happened to be near by. This place is nothing fancy inside, but an ultimate hidden gem! We walked in and the small place was packed! The server said the food wait was a while. We didn't mind. It ended up being maybe 15 minutes. The three of us ordered: BLT Eggs Benedict, French Toast, English muffins and a fruit cup. All the food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! There's only one short order cook. He does a one-man show cooking 4 to 5 meals (maybe more) at one time. It was incredible watching him. Overall, Customer Service was great. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. There's one very tiny restroom in the back of the restaurant. Regarding parking, we just grabbed a spot on the street. Looking forward to stopping back into the Turtle Cafe!
