Although we got there early on a Friday night, there was a long waiting list. When we were finally seated, service was efficient and timely. Food as delicious. Fresh, homemade pasta. Good selection of reasonably priced wine. So worth the wait. Don’t miss it if you are in the area.

A small restaurant with some outdoor seating, friendly and efficient wait staff and very delicious food! We stopped for lunch during the week on the late side--not very many customers--but our lobster and crab bisque came quickly, very rich and full of seafood, followed by a Greek salad with perfect nongreasy gyro, and a wrap featuring cod fish--both above the usual and generous portions. The white wine sangria had slivers of Granny Smith tart apple in it-quite a nice touch-and we left pleasantly filled up. The desserts look decadent but we did pass on them....

Wandering through New London on a rainy day, looking for a place to have lunch and we stopped and checked out the menu at Muddy Waters Cafe...great choice! The salads, sandwiches, and creamy tomato soup were very tasty. Easy place to sit, talk, and eat. We'd certainly stop and eat here again...even on a warm, sunny day.

Over the years I have enjoyed the quality and variety at Skipper's. Yesterday I hope was an exception. I had paid for a large order of full-belly clams and was given an order of clam strips. When I brought the food back in one of the cooks acknowledged that they knew they had made a mistake but gave the food to the server anyways. The server obviously did not check the ticket to make certain I had been given the order which was clearly printed on the ticket. I will be back and hope this was an abberation.

I love this place, no questions asked. Their breakfast sandwiches are killer and can count on one hand the times I've been let down by their coffee (and I'm a regular). Plenty of seating, some outdoor as well when the weather is nice, and reasonable prices for a downtown location.

Was fantastic. Honestly wasn't expecting to find such superb Thai food here. Both daughter and husband were blown away by how good the food was .

We celebrated a birthday at On The Waterfront. My first time . Awesome restaurant. Short on parking so plan to go and have to walk a ways, it’s worth it. Seating is comfortable and homey. Service was outstanding on a Wednesday night. Drinks were well made, and the food was delicious. We will definitely be returning soon to celebrate another birthday.

Reviewed By Derek S - Roslyn, New York
The quality of the brisket was pretty good. They have a few different style BBQ sauces which I enjoyed sampling. The mac n cheese could be improved a bit though. The staff was friendly, and the place was clean. Parking was easy. It was a little bit pricey but not over the top.

In town, visiting our daughter at the Coast Guard Academy, we found this little place in Waterford. What a fantastic breakfast! Service was friendly and efficient. Help yourself to coffee where you had a variety of choices. The Organic Dark was delicious. Our daughter ordered an egg special which was a creative take on huevos rancheros. My husband had the breakfast scramble and I had absolutely delicious whole grain pancakes with blue berries. You can order 2 or 3. Two was a huge plate of pancakes.
Not to be missed if you are in the area.
