Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in New London

Three of us dined at the Black Rock Steakhouse while staying in the area. Everything about the dinner was great. Our waitress was tremendous. The atmosphere was very comfortable (old fashioned steak joint comfort). The three of us were able to share one of the larger steaks (cooked perfectly) and had plenty to eat with the extras that came with it and by ordering an additional side. We had a bottle of wine that was a great price (significantly less than the same wine at a different restaurant nearby)

Nice quiet restaurant. It was a busy Saturday night. The food was outstanding - both the appetizers and the main entress. There were lots of options.

Loved the pretzel and beverages. The cocktails were excellent as were the house made options. If you like distilleries try this one! The had live music which really made it a lively and relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed the food and the service was excellent. Was a little hard to find the right entrance in the dark and rain but worth it. (The entrance is at the back - behind the hotel/lodge)

Food and ambience is great. The only slight complaint I have is that our wait staff didn’t tell us that there were specials that night especially after I heard from the other table’s staff wait staff which we would have really ordered because they sounded really good. Our orders were excellent so it made up for the slight. Cocktails were superb!!
