Dog Watch Cafe

Came in from NJ for a 4 day getaway. Wanted to eat close to where we are staying (THE STONINGTON INN). Made 6:45 reservations and got seated right away. Service was friendly and prompt and my husband said his beer was ice cold, just the way he likes it! For APPS we had the clams casino and bang bang shrimp. FRESH AND FLAVORFUL are 2 words that come to mind...they BOTH were DELICIOUS! Hubby had the fish and chips and I had the smoked brisket grilled cheese sandwich. Both were plentiful and very tasty. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !

We got seated outside and had beautiful views of the boats. Our meal was enjoyed by all, especially the salmon sandwiches (bread was fresh, salmon was cooked perfectly). Overall it was a great lunch.

I’m starting to find when I travel that I don’t discover hidden gems; it’s more that I search for the already reviewed gems and reinforce them. Like this one. Google maps wins again. Loved the location and the atmosphere. And the food. And the customer service. All spectacular. Wish I lived closer!

I’ve been coming here for years—my in-laws used to have a place on the Point—and the views and food are always top-tier. No complaints there. But last summer we showed up with a reservation near opening time and the check-in process was honestly a mess.

Zero clarity, zero welcome. It felt like we were being bounced around for no reason. Apparently the terrace has its own entrance and staff… which is great, but maybe tell guests that before they go on the scavenger hunt? It’s not obvious, and it put a weird vibe on what should’ve been a smooth experience. We still had a nice meal (fried clam platter was completely

Food was amazing! I can't wait to go back and try more menu items. Cool space with a bar top, indoor seating, and outdoor seating on the water. Great service as well!
