We read the reviews and decided to stop for an early dinner on a Saturday. We just got back from a…read more2 hours cruise and we were hungry. I loved that we got seated right away. Water view, not bad. Birria Tacos? Very tasty, 3, big . Calamari: fresh and not overcooked with a generous garlic sauce. Something different. Hubby devoured the burger. Pineapple mocktail and local beer on draft, nice and cold. The only issue I had was with the trains arriving and stopping at the next door station. A little bit too loud for me. Everything else? Not bad at all.

Really promising in terms of decor, but a big let down for the food…read more The $8 charge in chicken was ridiculously high, moving a platter of nachos from $15 to $23, for chicken that is not particularly flavorful nor plentiful. We got a platter of nachos and the only exciting thing was the sheer size of it: one platter served five people, with some more to spare. The nachos were dry, flavorless, and was almost like dipping chips into a generic grocery store queso. All the vegetables were raw, so it didn't add much to the dish. I'd recommend really seasoning at least one element of the tray, like the vegetables, and it would have been decent. The Nashville fried chicken sandwich was spicy without flavor. Another massive portion size with plenty of fries, but nothing I would order again. Sweet Thai chili sauce that came with the Brussels sprouts had the texture of wet corn starch that had been mixed in with a bottled chili sauce--gloopy and oddly too sweet.

This time I had the pastrami wrap with cornbread on the side, along with some onion rings, and everything was delicious! I normally have to be careful with onion rings when I eat out because they tend to give me heartburn, but these were excellent, fresh, homemade, and so good that I'll definitely be going back for more! The service is always wonderful, too. Everyone is helpful, welcoming, and quick. We were a group of about 7 people, and they took great care of all of us. Great food, great service, and another great experience at The Shack! Definitely a place we enjoy coming back to.

Took the family to a late lunch/early dinner at The Shack, a classic old-timey diner if you ever…read moredid see one. We were seated pretty quickly, and the staff was friendly. Apparently this is an institution (at least based on the shirts and paraphernalia they sell with The Shack name on it). The food was pretty standard fare, nothing crazy or out of the ordinary here, maybe some fun names for their everything but the kitchen sink omelettes (The Shanty and The Mess come to mind). Bottom line is they know their way around deep fryers, and they know eggs. My only regret is ordering the banana cream pie - crust was okay, banana pieces were good, the top "cream" part was like an odd key lime consistency and sour flavor that I did not expect or cared for. P.S. They have a massive senior citizen following, but that shouldn't be a negative like other reviewers seem to have made it. They like what they like, and then seniors like The Shack!

On top of the top-notch service, **the food was so much better than before.** Whatever changes have been made in the kitchen recently are definitely working, because every dish was spot-on.

We ordered nachos, and our friends ordered the $27 Bourbon Sirloin Steak. Waited about 30 minutes wondering where our food was. After45 minutes it finally arrived! Nachos were cold and the steak was just awful. It was the size of a single McDonalds patty, tough as nails, and smothered in Bourbon sauce. We called our server over and explained we were far from happy with our meal. Actually, she was the only good part of the experience. I forget her name, I think it was Anise, but she was very friendly and chatty, mentioned she's moving to Hawaii w/her boyfriend this month. (July 2026) Her manager came over and was very apologetic, told us she would take care of the bill. She also gave us coupons for free appetizers and a drink on our next visit. Well, needless to say there won't be a "next visit." We should have listened to our good friends in the first place. We left there hungry and very disappointed. Take it from us ..........

When walking towards the restaurant you are greeted outside and asked if you would like to sit outside or inside. Both area looks a bit small but comfortable.

It was delicious and there was a good amount of lobster meat in it. It was nice and buttery, just the way I like my grilled cheese. It was my first lobster grilled cheese and really enjoyed it.

After a Second Chance, I'm Officially Bowing Out This was my…read moresecond attempt at giving The Social Bar a fair shot, and unfortunately, absolutely nothing has changed. You would think a spot would be packed for Sunday brunch, but we walked in to a completely dead restaurant--just two couples sitting at the bar. We got seated, but it quickly became clear that the bartender (who I assume was also the manager) was the only person working the entire front of the house. The Service & Wait To say the service was slow is an understatement. It took so long just to put in an order that we were highly tempted to walk out. The only reason we stayed was because we had an hour to kill. While the bartender was genuinely friendly--and even nicely gave me the last of the batch he had mixed--the good attitude simply couldn't make up for the agonizingly long wait. The Drinks & Food The Mimosa: It was a premixed blend that was about 90% orange juice and 10% champagne. The Fries: The lone bright spot of the meal. They were nicely seasoned and easily the best part of the experience. The Side Caesar Salad: I really wanted to love the Caesar dressing because it actually tasted homemade. Sadly, it was so incredibly overloaded with salt that I'm genuinely shocked I'm not blind. After two strikes and two back-to-back fails, I'll sadly have to bow out from giving this place a third chance. There are too many other spots to choose from to waste time on slow service and unexecuted food.

I went here for my first time on a Saturday night when guest chef Anna Brown was hosting. The…read morerestaurant was beautifully decorated and the staff was very welcoming. While browsing the menu, Anna came out to greet our party and ask if we had any questions with the menu- this is a kind of service that you don't usually expect nowadays. The food was outstanding and the waitstaff was attentive to our party throughout the event. The menu was eclectic and original and the presentation was out of this world. Everyone at the table got different things and we all left with clean plates. I think we all agreed that this was one of the best meals we've had. I understand that this was a unique event, but this was an amazing reflection of La Belle Aurore and the care that they put into food and atmosphere. I'd recommend to anyone looking for some awesome, unique food.

We were here for a private event, but the food was still from the menu for dinner, and the hors…read mored'oeuvres were available on the menu too. As a result we were able to taste a number of their starters, a real winner was the crab rangoon tart there. For dinner we ordered tasting sizes of the pasta alla vodka and beef bolognese. I really like the thoughtfulness of having smaller plates be an option, for whatever reason you want it for. Also, they used campanelle pasta, rather than your standard noodles. Some real awareness of the right pasta pairing for the sauce evidenced for you. The only quibble there was the lack of seasoning in the sauce, but there was salt on the table to bring that up. The service is wicked friendly and attentive. The ambiance is certainly bohemian, with mismatched furniture and faux foliage hanging from the ceiling. The biggest ding is accessibility. One of the people at the event was in a motorized chair, and in order for them to move about or get to the restroom was a production. The tables and chairs are tightly packed, so I'd imagine someone on crutches or a walker would also have difficulty of movement. The menu changes as local ingredients come in or out of season. The current menu is available on their website. It is not large, so you know they're doing a few things and doing them right. I can recommend checking this place out.

The bartender was friendly, funny, and made us feel right at home. The support waitress was just as welcoming--chatty, attentive, and genuinely kind. Even the regulars added to the experience, making the atmosphere fun, relaxed, and entertaining. The food was outstanding! The snow crab roll was an easy 10/10--fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The truffle fries were perfectly crispy and addictive. And the wine slushy? 1000/1000! It was the perfect summer drink. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food and service, which made the experience even better. Great food, great people, and a great atmosphere. I already can't wait to come back to try the wings and prime rib... and of course MANY more snow crab rolls! Highly recommend!

I stopped by Charlie's Place in Niantic, CT & inside was such a cute little spot! It had a nice,…read morecozy feel to it & I liked the atmosphere. I ordered the pot roast, which came w/ mashed potatoes & asparagus. The pot roast itself was good & had a nice, tender texture, but I wasn't a huge fan of how much gravy they put on top. They were VERY heavy-handed w/ it, & unfortunately, it was overpowering. It took away from the actual taste of the pot roast. I think if they would've gone a little lighter on the gravy, it would've been SO much better because I really wanted to taste the pot roast itself. The mashed potatoes were creamy & really good, & I also enjoyed the asparagus. I liked the way everything tasted, especially the sides. I just wish there wasn't so much gravy because I think the pot roast would've been much better with less of it. I also sampled the Mac & cheese & it could have had more cheese in it. As for the service, our waitress could've been a little more attentive. I actually had to flag her down just to get some water, which was a little disappointing. She was nice, but I would've appreciated her checking on us a little more throughout the meal.
