Amazing! Best lobster roll in New London County…read more And the most accommodating staff in NL. This is a must go-to

Captain Scott's lobster rolls are the best part about New London. I've tried both hot and cold…read morelobster rolls here and I personally think the cold ones are better. The cold lobster rolls have a sweet and tangy mayo flavor and are less fishy compared to the hot buttered rolls. The restaurant is packed in the summertime and service can be quite slow, however, the location is amazing. It's nestled near a boat dock and you get to enjoy beautiful water views as you're chowing down on your lobster roll. Overall, I think Captain Scott's is good and not great because nothing really compares to the lobster rolls in Maine. For Connecticut, it's pretty good for what you get though. The clam strips and onion rings are a nice touch but they're nothing to write home about. However, the ice cream here is pretty good if you have room for dessert!

This was my first time in their new location, which used to be where La Stella was for a long time…read more I was happy to see that meant there were many more customers than I ever saw in their old spot. The space is very bright, some LED string lights and flowers make the ceiling pleasant to look at. Lots of seating across a couple of dining rooms now. The service is off a little bit. Old location was small so they didn't really have anyone that was a waitress, just the bartender was the whole front of the house. The waitress was slow, and treated me like a white dude who had never eaten Mexican before, despite our conversation. I don't know, I don't like being assumed to be ignorant? The ceviche tostadas are what I most associate with El Traviezo, I dream of them, and they do not disappoint. A pile of shrimp, some lime, salsa fresca, crema, on a tostada. Simple, brilliant. The chimichanga also lacked. Some crispy, but then slathered in sour cream to make it soggy. This time I got al pastor, and there were some firm bites of pineapple, but otherwise everything inside was neutral. A lot of cheddar cheese that had no flavor drowned out anything else. In the past I've gotten carnitas inside and will have to return to that to see if the quality of the food has gone down or just that I'm not a fan of their al pastor. Overall, I still love El Traviezo and recommend them, but this was not a five star visit.

The shrimp presented in the cocktail were cold, crisp and fresh and the sauce had a great taste and consistency. We also enjoyed the DPI skewers that included a bit of steak tip, a sea scallop and a fresh shrimp that was that was grilled to perfection and drizzled with a bit of horseradish cream sauce. The staff members are always welcoming and the aura of the visitors -since we became a nation seem ever-present. Bravo DPI... See you soon. On a visit to Mystic, I could not wait to find a restaurant that served more seafood than I could easily settle on. Sitting in the Mystic Marriott lobby, yelp pointed us to the Captain Daniel Packer Inne. What a find. Although the building was restored in 1979, it's origin dates to 1756. Everything seems to have been preserved -including the aura. As you would expect with a building older than the signing of the Declaration of Independence, it is small in size but large in hospitality. Without reservations, we did not stand much of a chance in the upstairs dinning area, but a flight of stairs down to the pub in the cellar... and we were seated in 20 minutes. For appetizers, we had the phyllo dough lobster lollipops and an order of artichoke hearts that were resting in a light lobster sauce (the artichoke that is) that invited us to soak up what was left with the delicious homemade bread we were served. For our main course we had the halibut steak that was sitting on top of freshly mashed potatoes with a smattering of fresh corn kernels. The customer service attendants were mindful of their tables and visited at opportune times. -Not when you start to take a bite and never did we wonder where they might have gone off to. Parking was a bit of a challenge but by far worth the hunt. If you are looking for a very friendly restaurant with a historical beginning and great food... Look no further. DPI is a definite re-visit for us.

Honestly, on a cold winters…read moreday there's no better place than the cellar bar to sit in front of a fire, have a pint, and soup. The best. The building itself is gorgeous with thick beams and great finishes. It's a beautiful place even if it is a little tight. With that said, we had a party of 10 and had reservations in advance. Parking is always tricky, but we got a good spot in the lot and were very happy. The wait for the table was maybe 10 minutes which was not too bad. The waitress was very good and she took care of our water, drinks, and bread right away. The place was busy but we really were pleased with the service! I ordered the fish and chips. Most of the table ordered a steak, veggie, and mashed potatoes. Truffle fries was the appetizer that landed on my end of the table. They were not my favorite. Those who had the steak seemed happy with the meal. Both of us who had the fish and chips were not happy with the meal. We had fish and chips at Steak Loft the night before- and they did not compare. They were perfect. The order I had at Daniel Packard were heavy and filling but I was missing the light tempura batter, the crunch and soft fresh fish, and the great tartar sauce that is the standard for fish and chips! I didn't take my leftovers which is not the norm for me. I'll swing by in the winter for a pint in front of the fire no doubt, but I think another dinner is not in my future.
