Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in New London

Food was exceptional. We had the Caesar salad and octopus for first course, swordfish and filet mignon for main course, cheesecake and crème brûlée for dessert. All the dishes were delicious. Sweater weather was one of the best tasting cocktails I’ve ever had. Northern lights drink was just okay.

We started in the bar area and loved it so much we ended up spending the whole night there. Bar staff were amazing and would definitely recommend it.

It is always a positive experience here…last evening was no exception…at least 7 people checked on us, served us or just smiled at us…every person on the staff seemed to really enjoy their jobs and team of associates…kudos to Matt, Tory, Cassandra and your teammates!!!!

Our late lunch early dinner was fabulous on New Year's Day 2025. Our waitress, Barbara, was very friendly, energetic, helpful and wonderfully nice-she gets all the kudos for a great visit. We will definitely return to Fresh Salt.

This is our 2nd year at the Bistro for New Year's brunch. We have decided to make a new tradition. The mimosas flow constantly, the food is memorable and definitely enough with the multiple courses. Service was exceptional. We especially love the desert table and crepes station. I was smarter this year and went easy on the courses so I would have room for desert. We plan our visit while the Jazz band in playing in the lobby so the ambiance is pleasing but not too loud. Excellent opportunity to enjoy your family and friends while dining. Valet Parking for $5 well worth it. We will be back next year!
