Super personable and super helpful. A definite people person who can immediately build a rapport with the customers. This is only my second or third trip to Fred's. The last time was probably 25 years ago. It was a bit of a drive from Hartford, but I am so glad I made the trip. If you have never been, you HAVE to go. The food, service, and location are all fantastic. As you can see in the photos, there is a good variety of food options, and it overlooks the docks. Coincidentally, they have MONDAY LUNCH SPECIALS, so my burger, fries, and small beverage was only $8 and some change! Therefore, I followed it with a raspberry shake for the ride home. :) This is a place you will want to return to again and again!

I'm not sure why I had to catch attitude from the teenage girl working in the window, but I guess that's neither here nor there in regard to the pizza being a quality product. Not sure if I would go back or not to be honest. I definitely don't need unsolicited sass to simply pick up a pie.

Came here before visiting the New London Ledge Lighthouse for a quick bite to eat…read more We shared the create a plate and got the fried shrimp, clam strips and calamari. Everything came out hot and fresh! We also got a lobster roll. It was hot and FILLED with lobster. Just wish we had some more hot butter on the side! We also got some ice cream too at the ice cream window. I got the Nutella Sugar Waffle. The waffle was fluffy and warm with bit of crunchy sugar within the dough. All topped on 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream with the choice of strawberries or banana, I got strawberry ! I was so full I couldn't finish it all! Everything was very good. The prices are decent and the portions are big

The taco itself was meh but the seafood is the star. I even came back the next day and I got the fried calamari and fries. The pickle ketchup was awesome for the fries. The tartar sauce was a little lacking but I mixed in some hot sauce which really helped. The cocktail sauce had way too much horseradish. The lines are LONG at peak lunch hours and it's in the open sun. Service is kinda slow with only one register so the line does not move quickly. I will be back for the lobster roll and to try all the other great seafood.

The portions are great and everyone who works there is warm and welcoming. I have been searching for years for good wings in this area. Astin J's wings are light years ahead of anyone else. They are absolutely monster sized wings unlike some of the places that serve teeny tiny wings. They offer tons of different flavors and I believe the sauces are made in house. I typically order either the garlic buffalo sauce or the garlic parm and both are equally awesome. The garlic parm fries are wonderful as well and they are loaded with garlic. The birria tacos are delicious as well. I just absolutely love this spot and will continue to support this wonderful local business indefinitely.

It was our first time at Port of Call, and we absolutely loved our experience! The ambiance is…read morereally great. We saw folks on dates, folks with their families. We originally planned to order the lobster pasta, but ultimately, due to the bartender's (Stephanie I think!) recommendation, decided to order the French onion burger and the mussels. We were really happy with that decision. The French onion burger might be one of my favorite burgers ever, and the fries were so good! The mussels were also delicious, but the broth was a little sweeter than I expected. In terms of drinks, my partner ordered the non-alcoholic sake highball, and I ordered the other Japanese-inspired drink on the menu. It was pretty strong, but so delicious! We will be back to Port of Call.

Currently docked in: Paris!…read more Wow. Truly a phenomenal dining experience all around and I'm very sad I didn't think to take pictures. We went for an early seating yesterday and bravely brought our 8 month old. This was already a bold ask because this restaurant doesn't scream children but port of call took it with stride. We were accommodated with a highchair and several staff stopped to say hi to our baby. (For his part, our baby was relatively chill although a loud babbler, and no tears which we would call a win). Now onto the product. Absolutely phenomenal. We were wowed from start to finish. Every single drink, dish, and dessert far exceeded our expectations. The happy hour menu is very generously priced and had several favorites off the actual menu, as well as some items which I believe are available all the time. Our server (I'm very sorry I can't think of his name) was fantastic and offered excellent recommendations to like drinks on the current menu based on drinks we said we usually steer towards. Every drink (we had 4 different ones) absolutely knocked it out of the park. This would be an awesome spot for cocktails and apps with friends but is also a superb full service date night spot. We can't (and won't) stop raving about port of call!!!

We had a late breakfast on a Sunday morning and arrived well before the closing time and "last…read moreorder" time. Parking lot is small and tight. Since it was a weekend, only breakfast options were available on the menu and some items are more expensive than they would be during the week. Inside is typical diner decor with clear plastic over the wood tables. The food was good, but everything else was disappointing. First is the noise. Not only is there lots of yelling between the staff, the music was incredibly loud and obnoxious. The staff generally were not very friendly. Our server was visibly short when taking our order and following up, but spent time chatting with regulars at the counter, so it wasn't due to being busy. My son was actually so stressed by her and the overall vibe in the restaurant that he rushed through his meal so we could leave quickly. In hindsight, there are a number of earlier yelp reviews that call out friendliness and get a harsh response from the owner/manager, so I fully expect one here. Point is, unless you're a regular, don't expect much warmth. Coming back to the food, everything our party ordered tasted great and there were mostly empty plates when we left. I really like seeded rye toast with my eggs, but they don't have it as an option. Prices were in the $10-15 range if you don't order something with meat. In summary, a loud diner with solid food and hurried vibe.

Last time I will be visiting Abbott's or Costello's…read more Completely over hyped and seems like they just want to take advantage of you. Today's order was, clam chowder New England style, Lobster bisque, clam fritters, and 3 1/2 pound lobster rolls. The clam chowder was the only item that was as expected. Lobster bisque was watery and lacking any lobster. Clam fritters were as dense as can be and not sure if there was any clams bits in them. The lobster rolls were bland. Oh yeah we also ordered corn on the cob. It came out with kernals that were wilted like it had been cooked yesterday and reheated today. If you're looking for good seafood go elsewhere.
