    Was in town for the weekend with the Hubby for a little get away and went to Yelp as I had truly never been to the area (other than the casinos - but we wanted to try something different) and the reviews were good so off we headed, let me tell you for being down the end of a pretty dead*ish street this little place was PACKED.. It also happened to be Valentine's Day so I get it. Seating was limited - we had reservations and they were running considerably behind so we jumped to a giant booth in the bar & we werent disappointed. The vibe in the bar was great, the food was even better. Everything was fresh and VERY GOOD... I would almost drive all the way back (we are only in Boston) just for that Risotto. Would def stop in again if in the area.

    Happy Holidays @ Fords Black & Blue!

    It was so nice to be back visiting Fords Black & Blue. We were passing through to Newport and just had to stop at our favorite place to have lobster ... or actually their Lobster Bomb! Missy was our server and she couldn't have been more friendly and personable! Service was top notch and she really took good care of us. If you're going during prime time, make sure you have a reservation as there aren't many tables. Their drinks and wines are also very good so be prepared for a top notch meal from Fords Black & Blue. Enjoy!

    The food was good, and the ambiance was okay, but the service completely ruined the experience. Our waitress, Karie, had a lousy attitude that made the dinner much less enjoyable. When I politely asked, "When you have a moment, can we get a side of ketchup and ranch?" her response was, "I only have two hands." That level of sarcasm was completely uncalled for. She never checked in to see if we needed refills or anything else, and it was hard not to notice how kind and attentive she was to the other tables around us. The contrast was frustrating and disappointing. Honestly, I wish I had more hands--just so I could give more thumbs down.

    Nice little spot down by the shore to enjoy some food and drinks. Everything on the menu looked great and the prices were reasonable. I got the lobster roll with french fries and coleslaw which was delicious. Servers were very friendly and did not have to wait long at all for food and drinks to arrive after ordering. The establishment is a little on the smaller side though so it can fill up quickly. Just something to keep in mind when going.

    Lemon drink. Strong and I like it

    I look forward to dining here every summer when visiting GLP! It's a perfect walk for a few drinks at the bar, and also a great place for a DELICIOUS dinner! They have their full menu in the dining room and also the bar. Im obsessed with the lobster risotto. And of course the mussels and a cup of chowder is a MUST! The mussels broth is so good I may just eat it with a spoon... Jack the bartender made some KILLER drinks and I especially liked his twist on the B&B spritz. Fords B&B always slays!!

    Last night in Connecticut so we wanted to go to Fords! New to us location, we had been several times to Fords Lobster which we love Great menu at Black and Blue, with options to sit in the bar area or a dining room area. Full menus with lots of great looking food. Started out with the clams casino, very tasty an a perfect sized appetizer! I did the lobster bisque bomb, full of amazing lobster, lots of claw meat cooked to perfection! The bread was delicious and the bisque was amazing! I have included photos of everyone in the parties dinner, which we all loved! Great food and staff!

The staff was super friendly and did everything they could to make our experience memorable. The brunch menu offers a nice assortment of options as we had one member in our party who had some eating restrictions. We started off with both raw and roasted oysters, both of which, we some of the best we have ever had. I love Shashuka. I've never had it with tomatillos. This version is now my favorite. I enjoyed the play between savory and acid. I chose my eggs to be prepared over easy expecting the yolks to add the desired richness that tomatillos can handle without overpowering their bite. What set this version apart for me was the addition of the pickled vegetables. They greatly complimented the tomatillos with their own sweetness and acidity that made for a well balanced bite. Others in our party felt similarly, that their meals were so flavorful and so well execucted that it made for a superb dining experience.

I really liked the ambiance of the space, it's quite comfortable and has a nautical aesthetic. We were sat in a cozy little corner by the window, a great spot for watching the bustling of the little seaside town. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable of the restaurant's offerings, noting in their introduction that the focus of the menu is on fresh local seafood, and that everything on the menu is freshly made in house. I was very eager to try a cup of the clam chowder for an appetizer since many other reviewers have said that it's some of the best they've ever tasted, and after trying it for myself I'm more than inclined to agree with them; it had a perfect consistency and excellent flavor. Boyfriend wanted the fried mozzarella so we got some of that, and that was pretty tasty as well. Boyfriend got the chicken parm sandwich for his meal and I got the fish and chips. I didn't end up trying the sandwich, but he said he liked it. My fish and chips plate was pretty good; the fish tasted just a tad under seasoned to me, however the flavorful tartar sauce helped with that and I could tell the fish itself was great quality. The hand cut fries were good, but I wasn't really a fan of the coleslaw. Overall we had a pleasant experience at The Mariner. A very good choice for fresh seafood and a relaxed vibe. I'm sure I'll be in town again at some point; if I come back to The Mariner, I'll make a point to get a bowl of the clam chowder instead of a cup, because that alone is absolutely worth returning for... but until then, I'll be dreaming about it.

Haring's has a terrific, classic New England location in Noank right along the Mystic Harbor. It's a touch north of Abbot's, and is where Ford's used to be. Our family was on a boat and looking to dock for lunch. The Captain's first choice for lunch did not have dock parking available, and I recommended Harings based on social media posts. The Harings employee who helped us dock was very nice, helpful and hard working. He was probably the high point of our experience. We were told that since he had a boat, we would have to eat on our boat and they would come to the boat and take our order when it was our turn. From the point we were told that, here was our experience. Nobody came to take our order for about 45 minutes. I went to the desk and they apologized and sent someone to take our order. She was friendly and helpful. We were told it would take about 30 minutes to get our food. It took longer. A boat that docked about 30 minutes after us had their order taken within about 15 minutes, and they received their food 10 minutes before I had to complain that we still hadn't received any of our food. The person I spoke with was friendly and our food arrived soon after I said something. The food, which was not inexpensive, was not spectacular. Certain items were not delivered. My son said his fries were not warm and were undercooked, and his $18 chicken sandwich was much smaller than cheaper sandwiches he normally orders.The people who ordered hot lobster rolls said they were OK. At this point, so much time had passed, that we did not have time for them to correct these issues. I ordered the Bisquets and Gravy, which was a 1/2 pound of lobster, lobster bisque and cheddar biscuits. The bisque was average. It could have been better seasoned. There was a lot of lobster, but at least some bites were overcooked. The lobster wasn't well seasoned either. The highlight of my food was the oysters, which was a substitute for the scallop crudo they had run out of after I ordered. I have the sense that the people who helped us, wanted to provide good service. It just seemed like the structure of the service was disorganized, and you never knew if they had forgotten you or that was just the normal lag. I ultimately concluded it was mostly that they had forgotten about us. The location is fantastic. Perhaps the food is better when the business is less steady. I did not see enough in this visit to return. This was probably my least favorite New England water side food experience in years. Especially at this price point. 2.25 Stars

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.
