The city of New London, Connecticut, has been an important port since the Revolutionary War, when it served as a base for American privateers raiding British Ships. In the 19th century, the revenues brought into the city by whalers helped build what now forms the city's charming center, filled with historic homes, taverns and shops. The masts of tall ships can still be seen passing through the harbor, the home of Coast Guard ships and the site of the annual Sailfest summer celebration.

10. Wings n' Pies

Went in here after a disappointing visit to the Buckley House. Ordered wings, which were very good! However, a place that has wings in the name of the restaurant should not serve a container of shelf stable Ken's blue cheese dressing, and should never announce to a customer we are out of celery!!!! Seriously wings without celery?!?! The reason we went in was for WINGS! The service was fantastic, the atmosphere....is Asian?! However, my suspicion that the space used to be the Asian restaurant next door was confirmed. Maybe remove the pagoda? All in all, the food and service were good....but they need to up their game a bit!

We came her because of the reputation and because we were on a timeline. Well, both were failures.There were only 5 occupied tables in the restaurant, and it took almost 40 minutes for a grinder. The waitstaff was embarrassed for most of that time. The grinder itself was tasteless even though we asked for tartar sauce to be substituted for mayo. The actual fish was thin, 1/8 inch mostly.A failure in all ways.

By far one of the best places to eat. Service was exceptional, food very good. Moderately priced. Thank you to Lori at breakfast who was exceptional in her service. IF you have a change to eat breakfast here, ask for her. You will not regret the choice. Dinner service also was very good. They have a drink menu that offers almost everything you could possibly want.

Classic dining, with a twist. French and New American cuisine, signature deserts, Sunday champagne brunch, special events, and more!

Bank Street near the New London waterfront has become quite the bar and foodie destination in Southeastern Connecticut. Having read great reviews of 385 Bank I bought an email discount deal for the place, knowing I would use it on one of my jaunts between Connecticut and Cape Cod. I sat at one end of the fairly small bar that was mostly occupied by patrons of a "girls' night out." There was my entertainment. While I quietly listened to their boisterous laughs over some risque board games they had played, I relaxed with a couple of 365 Negronis made to perfection by Robin, the fun and friendly bartender. For food I started with a bowl of their lobster bisque that, to my mind, needed nothing extra. It was perfectly seasoned with small but plentiful chunks of lobster. Then came my main course: a generous serving of cioppino. Mussels, shrimp and scallops adorned a plate of fettuccine with a spicy but not overpowering marinara sauce. One of the woman patrons took time out from her laugh-fest to drool at my entree from afar. If you want a bar with quality food, a fun crowd and a skilled bartender who sets a delightfully comfortable atmosphere, try this place. I'll be back.

We like this place in general. We have gone several times to hear live music on the weekends and to order drinks. I think is a well-managed, spacious, and reliable part of the New London scene. Most recently we went for a celebration dinner. We ordered 2 seafood entrees- a sampler platter and snapper. They were good, but we both felt they were a bit overly seasoned and cooked with too much butter. I mean, butter makes food taste delicious, but in this case it seemed like too much of a good thing. Most people say you can't go wrong with their pizzas. I will go back, and I do recommend it.

The quality of your dish will depend directly on the chief who works at kitchen. We visited this restaurant four times, impressions of the first three were above any praises. The fourth time disappointed us. My linguini were, almost, shipped in oil, and tomatoes were sour. It is sad that one unsuccessful time spoiled the previous impressions of visit of restaurant. I do not recommend to take a dessert - the woman who prepares them the hot fan of sugar))

Arrived at Happy Hour for a meal before getting on Amtrak. Was pleased with my $5 Blood Mary, but thrilled to have six fresh oysters for $6 (even though there was no "y" in the month name.) I took my server's advice: the scallop tacos were very tasty and the Gooey Butter Cake with homemade brown sugar ice cream was delicious. My only minor quibble was no chocolate dessert.

Hot Rod Cafe is a fun and friendly neighborhood bar and restaurant featuring 24 kinds of beer on tap and 24 kinds of wings. Great water view and service!
Reviewed By DFS60
I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at Hot Rod. Nothing to look at from the outside but cozy inside and a wonderful outdoor deck with water views. All three of us tatted our meals as very good. Reasonable prices, great service, good variety. My friend always finds it hard to get Prosecco but they had it. My rose wine frozen slush is was outstanding. The chicken wings were amazing with 20+ sauces from which to choose. Their wraps also were very good. The only down side is on street parking and finding a space can be a challengeonwhen you go.
