Fish Sandwich

WHAT??? WHY??? After growing up in and spending so much time in New England how did I find the world's BEST fried scallops on top of a PIZZA while sitting at a bar near the Coast Guard Academy? I almost didn't want to write this review because I don't want anyone else to know. Consider me shocked! Honestly, I was disappointed when I saw that the scallop and bacon pizza came out with red sauce. I was a little grossed out. I never imagine that combo. I was thinking it would be a white pizza but I guess I didn't read the menu. But, I picked one of those scallops off the pizza and I no longer cared! I immediately removed all the scallops off the pizza and into my plate so that my partner (who ordered the fish sandwich) wouldn't get any! Thee juicy, tasty, succulent deep fried circles of joy had my eyes rolling in the back of my head and looking at my calendar to see when I could make time to come back for another meal of just the scallops. I ate them all except two, which I'm begrudgingly let him try. I didn't even want to try his fish. "I don't care what that tastes like, I've achieved mouth nirvana over here." After collecting myself, I did try the pizza, which by now was just bacon and DAMN! It was some quality bacon! And a ton of it. The pizza was good, too. (Although I bet it would have been good as a white pizza all together...just saying.). I guess the clam pizza is white. We did reheat the pizza the next day and it was still awesome. More typical New England style Greek pizza, but not as crunchy/hard/tough/dry edged as most of your basic "House of" places. I also heard that the fish sandwich was fresh and delicious. Whatever. I'm #TeamScallops. We sat at the bar, it was Saturday afternoon, 10/29/22, and I'm sorry to the lovely female bartender with the gorgeous mane of dark hair because I can't remember your name because I would hire you in an instant! She has a great personality, an eye for when you need something, good timing and that particular New England quick "hustle" that is a rarity in customer service these days! She's accommodating but I bet if the locals got out of hand, she could take care of it herself. YOU ROCK! This will become our first go-to when we are in town again. The service is great, the beer is ice cold and I don't know who Mr. G is, but you all made him very proud! Cheers!

The bread from the pizza...no toppings.  All bread!

I am very disappointed in this place. Been around for a long time and the food and people are the same. They have not advanced or changed to the world around them. No wonder everyone in the place is overweight, unhealthy and I could hear their arteries clogging as I waited for my food! The pizza was all bread and no toppings or cheese. Cheap, greasy and disturbing in taste. The "buffalo wings" are not buffalo wings. They are small and all breading! I'm sure the oil they were cooked in is as old as the joint! No need to waste your time unless you are unaware of any other decent places nearby. Even then, go to a different town and get fast food. You'll thank me later.

Generous food in a very casual atmosphere. Bar is noisy but dining room has quieter vibe. Service was good when we stopped in for lunch.

We stopped here for lunch on my birthday for a lobster roll. Nice amount of lobster though not much…read moreflavor/sweetness. I substituted onion rings for a small upcharge. They were good. My husband had a plain steak and cheese with fries. You order at the counter here. We might return in the future, but with so many great seafood options in the vicinity, I'm unsure. A solid 3.5 stars and since I can't give a half star, I'll bump up to 4.

Oh how we missed Skippers in Old Saybrook, CT!! We even placed it better than Johnny Ad's, a viable…read morecompetitor. So, since the Old Saybrook location closed, we set our sights on visiting the Niantic location, looking forward to what we missed so much. Sadly, this was one of the worst experiences we have had! Our order consisted of a kid's hot dog platter, an adult hot dog, side of onion rings, 2 small coleslaws and a side of clam strips. Let's begin with the hot dogs...Both the kids and adult hot dogs were the same size in different buns. The adult in a foot long bun and the kids in a regular bun. Again, same size hot dog inside. Moving on to the onion rings...for $7.00, I counted 19 shoestring onion rings. Not a nice pile, but flatly 19 and shoestring ones are incredibly deliciously thin. The kids platter arrived with just the hot dog on it. No fries. When I went back, I was told it did not come with fries. I disagreed and after some time, curly fries were placed next to the hot dog. I asked about regular fries and I was told that they did not carry regular ones. The nice boy behind this all stated that they did and it was corrected. Hot dog was now ice cold. My side of clam strips for $14 consisted of maybe a cup of clams. Sad portion! We ate what we could shaking our heads in disappointment. So sad our expectations were dashed! When we left, it was decided that a short walk (and I mean short because my mother can't balance for long) might be nice in order to forget the fiasco at the restaurant. As soon as we stepped away from the car, we were chased by their parking guard who said that we could no longer park there if we left the car. I explained that we had just spent almost $70 in their establishment and would be taking a short walk. She continued to chase us. We kept walking. Our walk took approximately 7 minutes. Upon our return, the man parked next to us entered his car with 2 bags and coffees from Sift Bakery. Obviously NOT a Skippers customer, yet he was not chased! So, sadly, we will NEVER again be visiting Skippers in Niantic. Johnny Ad's is meh, but this was way worse. I hope that they can fix things so that others can still enjoy eating there.

There is a road bridge that crosses the river way above so it does not impact views of the water. We were promptly seated outside where the umbrellas provided shade and the sea breeze was gentle. We were fortunate to catch a beautiful summer day that was not humid or extremely hot. I started with Niantic Bay oysters which are local. They were expertly plated, plump and delicious served with a mignonette sauce. Next I ordered the Chilled Seafood Salad which is listed as an appetizer but was plenty for me. The salad had Stonington scallops, Long Island scungilli, large shrimp, hot peppers with a lime vinaigrette. It was nicely seasoned including the shrimp and scallops. Although the scungilli was sliced thin, they were somewhat tough and a little chewy. My friends enjoyed their selections which ranged from burgers and fries to salads and chowders. The wait staff were pleasant and efficient. The inside decor was very pleasant. Prices are within range of what one would expect.

The service is always great, so kind and quick, no complaints ever. Even with summer hires they are great! The setting is beautiful, nice outside patio, great raw bar seating, and even in the winter the indoors is comfortable and warm. A few months ago our meal was off and seemed poorly made with lesser quality ingredients, but we let it go as we thought maybe it was just a bad night. We came back again this weekend and it was more of not worse of the same. Our staple go to here has always been the crab cakes with Kimchi. I love it so much that I sometimes order 2 of it as my meal, with extra kimchi on the side! We have also tried many other options though, both kinds of lobster rolls, scallops, ravioli, always 2-3 things from the raw bar, and generally get an entree and drink special too. I'm not sure if staffing/decision making in the kitchen changed or they are cutting costs but something is definitely off. The crab cakes are no longer what they were, they have no signs of the large lump crab, and honestly tasted like a frozen version made with imitation crab. Add to that that they raised the price and I am baffled they thought it was ok to serve. The kimchi is no longer actual kimchi but plain raw cabbage chopped and lightly dusted with what could only be the leftover spices from a poor attempt at kimchi mix. The entire thing was so bad we had to send it back. When I asked about what had changed I was met with a firm denial that it was any different than it had ever been. We have eaten them around 15-20 different times and I honestly couldn't believe they were trying to convince me it was the same. The lobster roll was awful, tasted almost day old. If we had done what we wanted we would have sent our entire meals back and just left. On top of all of this, the prices have been consistently raised and yet the food quality has gone way down. I think if it were not for tourists and the location this place would suffer greatly from the changes and cutbacks they have made. Sadly, we will not be returning.

I recently celebrated a big birthday dinner with a group of 14 friends and family at this…read morerestaurant which has been special to us for over 13 years. Even though the name (Kawa) and menu have changed a bit over time, the heart of this place has never changed--and that's what keeps us coming back. One thing that truly stands out is that this is a family‑owned restaurant, and you can feel the care, pride, and love they put into their food and service. It adds a level of warmth and authenticity that you just don't get everywhere. Our group ordered a wide range of dishes, and not a single plate was left with food on it. Several guests tried the special fried rice, while one had the chicken fried rice. Everyone loved their meals so much that I even ordered an extra fried rice to take home. We also enjoyed a great selection of sushi, including a few rolls we had never tried before. Their sushi roll prices are the best in the area, yet the quality remains consistently excellent. The sashimi we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and did not disappoint. One guest ordered the noodles with shrimp and said it was the best they'd ever had. To top it off, the restaurant has a surprisingly wide variety of Asian beers at very reasonable prices. The beers we tried were a big hit with the group and paired perfectly with the food. The service was another highlight of the night. Our waiter was wonderful--attentive, friendly, patient, and on top of everything our large party needed. Managing a group of 14 isn't easy, but he handled it flawlessly and made us feel well cared for. My fiancé asked him a lot of questions on some of dishes and he was very knowledgeable. After more than a decade of visiting, this birthday dinner reminded me exactly why this place has remained one of our family favorites. Delicious food, great prices, warm service, and the heart of a family‑owned business that truly values what they do. Highly recommend for both special occasions and everyday meals. There is plenty of parking for a big party and lots of space inside. They were packed and it was 5 days before Christmas.

Worst crab boil I have ever had in my life! As someone who has a grasp on culinary affectation AND…read moreknows Lowcountry cuisine on account of my upbringing... No. Being located in Connecticut versus New Orleans, Georgia, Florida or Maryland does not give you a hall pass to sell over-priced seafood that is not up to edible standards/fresh. No crab seasoning dusting AT ALL. Crab was freezer burned with grit on the shell. I got the special sauce + the hottest level. Red water. So diluted and devoid of flavor. The "boil" was literally the consistency of water. That's not a boil. They likely have pots of unseasoned water that they ladle in the bag post steaming. So bland, zero love and not at all authentic. Also-- small russet potatoes were not cleaned prior to being cooked whole and are rigid/raw in the center. Over-cooked shrimp. Boil base has ZERO flavor and likely just MSG + coloring. Disrespectful. Wrong potatoes, wrong process, wrong chef, wrong seasonings, aged crab, wrong everything. My meal was 'to go'. If dined in?! Absolutely not. Nope. I would have left it on the table! Trust me-- I'm calling my bank and if they want to FaceTime the food in the trash... fine by me. I can't eat this. There is dirt in the sauce and all of the elements because they did not clean the crab, shrimp + potatoes. There were two rotten potatoes in my bag and freezer burned snow crab clusters... disgusting. Hit "The Boil" in NYC, "Juicy Crab" in MD-- even "Hook & Reel" in Orange, CT. That's where you get real Cajun flavor profiles and actual spice! This restaurant has zero business serving seafood boils. Really, really subpar.
