Best Seafood Restaurants in New London

As always, the Coast Guard House lived up to its excellent reputation for outstanding food, service, and friendliness. The menu options and wine choices are also excellent. Very highly recommended. It also happens to be a very historic building that was repurposed very appropriately into the excellent restaurant that it is and continues to be.

We ate at the bar. Nick, the bartender, was very accommodating! Such a pleasant person. He helped us decide what to order, was always there when we needed him, but never hovered over us. Such a wonderful person. His partner was very kind and accommodating also. We went for our anniversary and could not have asked for a more special evening. It was a night to remember.

Chris was an excellent server. This was our first time dining here and we would 100% come back! He recommended the best starters and entrees. We were also celebrating an Anniversary and he made sure to make our experience one to remember, including a complimentary desert and glasses of champagne to toast.

I have been to Hemenway's in the past and this restaurant never ceases to be top notch. The Service (shoutout to Mia!) was fantastic and the food and atmosphere outstanding. I highly recommend Hemenway's. We were celebrating an anniversary and it was pretty cool that our table was sprinkled with rose petals and we were greeted numerous times with a hearty "Happy Anniversary! by a number of the wait staff and greeters(?). Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants anywhere!

Great experience and value! wines chosen were great pairings with our meal, the Somm presenting was outstanding - just the right amount of information and then walked around the room answering deeper questions from the audience. Meal was very good and for the price great value!
