    Flounder inappropriately described on the menu and when it came out on the plate, it was a huge disappointment. It was not fresh and not as described.

    Loved the grilled seafood. It came with a coconut rice side that was only moderately interesting. The squash soup was fabulous. There is a wonderful discount for seniors on Thursday nights.

    Casual steak house. Food was okay, but not inexpensive. I expect a $60 steak to be better than ok. My husbands steak was done as ordered. Mine was quite undercooked. They graciously put it back on the grill. Staff was friendly, almost too friendly. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu. Basically only beef on the menu other than a couple others. Very nice wine menu but very pricey. Overall, I don’t regret going but will not be going again.

    Relaxed yet slightly upscale vibe overlooking the water in Stonington with a nice menu and good service. Menu prices are a little high but good kitchen and fresh selections.
