   The bar was a little busy for a drink before dinner but once we sat we were served. When it was time for our reservation we sat outside on the river and the sunset was beautiful. Food was incredible delicious chowder 1.5 lb tender, buttery lobster- we had the lobster dinner for 2 and did not disappoint. Will definitely return.

   Clam chowder was very tasty. Fish Tacos were ok but lacked favor. Salads were good. Outside dinning view was scenic and enjoyable.

   I wish I could leave a better review but the truth is we never ate a bite here or spent a penny. We were called in the afternoon to ask if we wanted a table inside or out, which I thought was nice. I replayed that I preferred to sit outside. When we arrived a few minutes early, we said we would wait in the bar, but every table in the bar was set for dinner and there were no seats at the bar. We tried to get the bartenders attention but we’re unable to, so we sat down in the lobby to wait. When we were called, we were sat at an inside table. No wine menu, and the food menu had food particles stuck to it. We waited about 20 minutes - someone came to pour us water and left. Then another wait person - not ours - asked if we had been served. When we said no, she said she would find ours. Finally, someone who I assumed was our waitress came by. She didn’t greet us, give us a name or say anything about being our server, much less apologize for the wait. She just asked if we wanted anything other than water to drink. At this point, it was clear that we were not going to have any sort of good experience, so we decided to leave.

   I have been to the fisherman many times and the food is always very good. This past Saturday we took friends from out of town and the food was on par as always however the service was very surprisingly poor. It took almost 20 mins after the host sat us for a waiter to come over and just take our drink orders. Very upsetting.

   Food was great, the waitress took the time to understand our food allergies. A few things to note are the reservations don’t mean much - if you want to sit outside there is a separate wait list and inside is very noisy and we were almost 30 minutes past our reservation time before we got a table outside. This was earlier than inside where we actually had the reservation. Overall if you don’t mind waiting it’s good food and experience.

   On a Saturday night in summer, the noise level indoors was deafening. And despite having a reservation, we had to wait at least 10-15 minutes to get our table. The food, on the other hand, was excellent -- both the entrees and smaller things like salad and bread. And the views, as advertised, were memorable. The service lagged at times, which was not surprising given how packed the place was and how many tables each head server oversaw. But our head server, Jason, still made it a personable and rewarding experience. I'll be back. But probably not on a summer weekend.

    We left shortly after getting there. The online menu is not up to date and we wanted to try the swordfish. They did not have it. Very disappointing. It looked like a nice restaurant.

    We sat outside on a sunny day with a beautiful breeze Coming off of Palmer’s Cove. I had a deliciously fresh watermelon salad followed by clams casino which is one of my favorite dishes at this restaurant. Hubby had a huge fisherman’s platter and Mom had tender scallops. Food was excellent as was service. Will visit again soon.

    We had dinner after the Esker Point concert on a Thursday night. Our waitress was super efficient with a cheerful demeanor. (I wish I remembered her name) I had the power bowl with salmon and I’ve been craving it since! My hubby had the fish tacos and said they were delicious too. Well done Fisherman!

    Moderate at best. Food was tasty but overpriced and lacks any creativity. Service was definitely lacking- seems like they did not have enough staff. Blond lady at front desk/host was very rude. I would not rush back.

    We ate out on the expansive deck alongside Poquonnock Cove. The setting and the view are spectacular. The hostess(es) took awhile to seat us even though we had reservations, but it was worth the wait. Our waitress was fantastic. We ordered two appetizers, roasted oysters and crab cakes. I didn’t like the oysters which were sort of warmed over raw. The crab cakes were the best I’ve ever had: succulent. For entrees, I got something called a Noodle Bowl and my friend got Salmon. The fish was excellent. My bowl however was very disappointing. The description said it was made with glass noodles and veggies with a chili sauce, invoking to me an Asian flair. Instead I think the noodles were angle hair pasta, the veggies chunks of steamed carrot, avocado, and roasted cherry tomatoes. And there was no sauce. When the waitress brought it after we asked, it tasted very much like something from a bottle of Kikkomans at Stop and Shop. The desserts, cremebrole and blueberry crisp, were fantastic. Worth it over all, just be sure if your food choices.

    I don’t mind spending big money on small portions of spectacular tasting cuisine or generous portions of value cuisine. Here I received neither. For $39 there was nothing spectacular about the flavor of this fried fish platter and the portion was super small (see photo). Excessive breading and minimal meat, French fries mostly small bits nothing special. Friends’ dishes were similarly tiny in portion and lacked anything special in flavor. Steamers we’re good but not served with traditional cup of broth for rinsing/dipping. Bottled beers were served too warm and water glasses not kept full. Bay view from dining room was nice, but at sunset patrons had to lower the shades because of the glare. I can afford to indulge at good restaurants and will not return to this one due to underwhelming flavor, portion, and service that left me feeling ripped off. Plenty of other seafood restaurants serving the area.

    Took about 30 mins after we were seated for a server to come over after we had waited inside at the bar for our table to be ready. Lobster roll was small and dry, had to ask for a side of hot butter when most Automatically come with it.

    TERRIBLE waitress she didn’t even smile once very rude no salt pepper or oyster crackers with the chowder that I had to send back bc it was barely warm beautiful restaurant though excellent bread and little necks entrees sub par especially for the price supposed to be a special night celebrating my anniversary but unfortunately our waitress ruined it with her negative energy and overall crusty demeanor strangely she treated another table with friendliness and personality maybe it was bc she saw my husbands long hair and my tattoos she thought we weren’t worth the effort???? I won’t return to this restaurant very disappointed

    Another great experience at The Fisherman. Dined outside next to the water. Service was great (thank you Jason!). Food was delicious as always with interesting specials and seasonal cocktails. One of our “go to” spots, particularly in the summer when relaxing by the water with great food and delicious cocktails in the early evening is so enjoyable
