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

A Saturday afternoon and about 6 people inside. I walked in with my service dog and was instantly…read moretold dogs were not allowed by the bartender. My dog was properly identified and wearing a vest and my sister in law informed the bartender that he was a service dog. The bartender looked right at us, rolled his eyes, made a face and shook his head. Absolutely appalling behavior not to mentioned illegal. Our group of five walked right out. Will never return.

I was around for a conference and wanted to get a try of something casual. I even came back a second time to watch the Knicks game and they had a musical bingo night. Definitely get the gator wings.

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.

I tried the…read moreChicken Milanese, it had some weird sauce underneath that overwhelmed the simplicity of the dish. My friend had the steak. Both portions were very small.

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.

One of the friends who was dining with us has allergies and she was fastidious in making sure that nothing got into his food that he couldn't tolerate......she was friendly and just the right amount of present.  The food was fantastic....I had soup + sea bass, which were both tasty....my mixed drink (a Manhattan) was solid as was the Chardonnay. Everyone at the table was similarly happy with their food.

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.

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 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.
