Al Fresco on the Water betw New Haven and Mystic

[few]

I thought I would send a phish out here and see if I can get an inventory of places to eat outside, on the water this summer on the Shoreline East in Connecticut.....

I have been to a few here and there.....mostly around Old Saybrook, Noank and Stonington - -but it occurs to me that I have seen buried in threads here and there over a period of time -- some gems and pearls from alot of different folks

But

I thought a Thead with a good inventory list would be helpful for all of us!

SO????????????

I started this similar topic a short while back: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/515440#3652753

All that was discussed on that thread and this thread (so far) is listed here:

THANKS !

See my review of Dock and Dine. We enjoyed the view but you pay a lot for it with high prices and mediocre food.

Kitchen Little for GREAT breakfast in Mystic

[chefstu]

Aqua in Clinton Harbor marina has a great view and great food with outdoor dinning and giant picture windows for indoor dinning. The Angel hair Aglia Olio is not to be missed.

Skippers Dock, Stonington... great for sunset!

Abbotts , Noank (classic, byob)
Aqua, Clinton
The Wharf, Madison (ok food, great view)
Lenny's Indian Head, Branford (salt marsh, not open water)
The Place, Guilford (not on the water, outdoors with stumps for seats, byob, unique)
Guilford Mooring, Guilford
Bill's Seafood, Westbrook

You've listed just about every place I would. I really like the food at Guilford Mooring and Bill's Seafood. When I went to The Wharf a few years ago the food wasn't anything to rave about, but I think they have new management and a new chef, recent review in Fri Wkend New Haven Register. Dockside in Branford has marina view. Nellie Green's, also marina (opposite side from Dockside). I've heard of Boom - I think in Westbrook and have wondered how their food is.

Boom is great. It's at Pilot's Point Marina in Westbrook. There is a west facing porch, very nice for lunch or dinner. It's above the main channel through the marina so there is often a boat parade to watch. It can get cool with a sea breeze. And the food is great-lots of fish, vegetarian options...I like it all. Reservations are a good idea. We'll go for Father's Day brunch.

The Dock and Dine in Old Saybrook is decent, though I'd say there are better seafood places in the general area (Noah's in Stonington, for example). Dock and Dine has a large outdoor dining area along the mouth of the Connecticut River, with great views of the water and surrounding landscape.

The Saybrook Point Inn and Spa is supposed to be good, too.
