On The Waterfront Restaurant

Amazing seafood! Bang bang shrimp and calamari appetizers were excellent. My baked scallops were perfect. Exceptional service… speed, quality, friendly, sincere staff. Huge heart, great views, perfect New England seafood stop. Highly recommended.

A lot bigger inside than it looks from the out side and it is a wonderful location on the waterfront. The food was fantastic as well as our server. Thank you will be back

Had a delicious dinner, scallops and pancetta over pasta, on our way to the Garde Arts Center. Service was great, staff was friendly and accommodating. The pistachio cake was enormous, delicious and fun to share

Excellent meal. Our waiter was very professional right from the start.
Food was excellent as well. Clean, bright atmosphere.
I've been recommending this restaurant to several people since our visit.
We look forward to dining here again.

The food was great and the service was even better! Our server gave us great recommendations and we all thoroughly enjoyed our delicious food (with huge proportions!), but what happened after we left gave even more reason for this 5-star review! A young member of the team found cash that had fallen out of my wristlet and turned it in to the manager who immediately called me via my reservation info to let me know! They took such quick action we were only a few blocks away. Our party was so impressed with the integrity the young man displayed and hope he has the opportunity to continue developing these great leadership skills :)

Definitely the spot to eat at sunshine, rain, hot or cold! They got the view and a delightful atmosphere! Tasty and fresh you’ll not want to miss!

Great place ti stop on out way ti Boston. Thé service is cheerful and friendly. The seafood is fresh. The soup is really a pasta dish, but the pasta was actually good

Our trip is never complete without a visit here. The food comes out fresh, hot and delicious. I always go for the oysters! Chicken francese is a favorite of mine that I can’t get anywhere in Texas. Lobster rolls were cooked perfectly. My daughter loves the salmon and mashed potatoes.

Not pictured: wonderful cocktails!

A local favorite and always superb service.

Service and food are always wonderful here! Our first time sitting in the front bar area and it was so cozy! Loved people watching from the front window. The water views in the other rooms are instantly calming and make you feel like you're on vacation even if you're not. Calamari is fabulous, the pork tenderloin never disappoints!

It was freezing but inside on the patio is was perfectly warm. We had a beautiful sunset and our dinner was fabulous. Started with crab cakes, followed with surf and turf which was perfectly prepared. Topped it off with their house made pistachio cake. Amazing 👏 🤩

Absolutely one of the best experiences I've had for dining out!!
Perfect view of the Marina and Ocean that is so beautiful and calming!!
Outstanding service!!
I have to say, I was treated like a queen!
Thank you all On The Waterfront Restaurant! ♥🥰😁

I attended a good friend's wedding vows.The food was amazing,the server was friendly and very accommodating.I would wholeheartedly recommend.

Great local restaurant. Seafood with a good range of other options. Many items have a little twist that make them special. Truly excellent service.

I will never stop recommending this as the MUST TRY spot! Over the years I have not once had anything other than wonderful service, and delicious food and drinks. The Bang Bang Shrimp was a new try for me and I loved it! Also the best fish tacos I've had!

Perfect dining location overlooking the Thames River. Sat outside on the outdoor patio and enjoyed the water view that over looked the local marina Staff was friendly and service was great. Restaurant offers a variety of seafood fares and Italian favorites. The drinks were refreshing.

We took a ride and we found this place.
The food was fantastic best fish. Service was great. Definitely worth the ride from Massachusetts. We will probably go again.

We had a great lunch of Bang Bang Shrimp and Fish and Chips. Delicious. Great service as well. I loved being able to sit on the marina deck, which is mostly outdoors but under cover and with heat lamps. Music was fun. The fish batter has dill in it and the perfect crunch. Really good. I’ll be back. The only thing I didn’t like was the cole slaw. It wasn’t really dressed at all.

Having never been to New London before, I was captivated by every nuance of this place, both inside and out. On street parking made things a little tricky, but we lucked out. We got there around 6:45 on a Wednesday night without reservations and were seated within 15 minutes. We had a cozy window seat near the bar, facing Pequot Ave. Our server was both professional and friendly. All three in my party ordered iced tea and the lobster roll with fries. The garlic butter that was served with a crispy warm bread was some of the best stuff I've ever put on a piece of bread. The iced tea was just the right strength, and didn't taste like it had been in a stainless steel pot all day. I've never had lobster roll before, but this was pretty good, as were the fries. This place feels more like a local eatery than a tourist trap.

Tonight on a whim we decided to stop here and we were not disappointed. Try the Cod Mediterranean the next time you eat here. You’ll love it. Their unique butter made with garlic, shallots and cayenne pepper will make you smile.

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner here last weekend. I hadn't been since it was Chuck's Steakhouse and what a change. It is modern, yet quaint and has New England vibes. The food was excellent as was the atmosphere. The wife had twin filet medallions with shrimp and lobster sauce and I had the baked scallops. We will definitely be going back.
