The Fisherman Restaurant at Long Point - Groton, Connecticut

Went mid December for lunch and restaurant was decorated beautifully for the holidays. Had a table with a stunning view of the cove. It’s not nearly as busy in the winter and more people should remember that it’s not a seasonal restaurant.

Lobster bisque was very thick and flavorful and came with a large piece of claw and croutons. My son had a lobster panini and fries which he proclaimed to be the best sandwich he’s ever had. I stole way too many of his fries. The lobster Rangoon were also a tasty addition to lunch.

Our server was attentive and friendly and had some great other suggestions for things to try on our next trip. And there will be many!
Highly recommend for anyone in area.

Fantastic Experience at The Fisherman Restaurant! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!!! I recently hosted my sister's baby shower at The Fisherman, and I can’t say enough great things about our experience! From the moment we reached out to Zach, the chef, he was incredibly accommodating and attentive to our needs. Planning an event can be stressful, but Zach made it so easy. He provided us with invaluable advice on how to set up the space to create the perfect atmosphere for our celebration.

We ended up having about 60 guests, slightly more than we anticipated, but the staff - Adam and Kristin, were absolute stars! They made sure everything ran smoothly and took fantastic care of us throughout the event, making sure drinks were full, and people had what they needed.

The layout of the room was beautifully organized, thanks to Zach's suggestions on table placements for gifts, a photo station, the food table, and the cake. It allowed us to truly envision the space and helped us bring our Pintrest board to life! It made everything flow seamlessly.

We decided on a selection of sandwiches, wraps, salads, and the showstopper: the most delicious butternut squash soup I’ve ever tasted! People were going back for seconds, if not thirds on that soup!

They also had these incredible, yet simple toffee cookies, that were thin? gooey and just INCREDIBLE. Every single guest raved about the food, and it really elevated our lunch.

As locals, hosting the shower in Groton Long Point, where my sister got married, made it all the more special. The scenic view combined with amazing service and food turned our day into such a memorable occasion!

If you’re considering a venue for your next event or holiday dinner, I wholeheartedly recommend The Fisherman. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you, Zach and the entire team, for making this day so special. You all deserve an 11/10! 🌟

Was looking for some good seafood and not wanting to drive in to Mystic and battle for parking. Glad we found this little gem. I had the lobster bisque, hubby had the clamp chowder, both were really good. We also split an appetizer and the scallops risotto which was good but the rice could have been cooked just a bit more. Would still recommend.

We had a large group of 20 tonight, and normally I wouldn’t review a restaurant based on that kind of visit since it can be tough to handle—but Fisherman at Longpoint nailed it from start to finish. Appetizers, dinner, and dessert all came out quickly, hot, and correct. Our waitress was fantastic—drinks were refilled without even asking and she kept everything moving smoothly.

The little neck clams are a must—sweet, fresh, and exactly what you hope for at a shoreline spot. Everyone at the table was happy with their meals, and that’s not easy with a group this size. Big thanks to the staff for making it such a great experience. Highly recommended.

Had seafood platter. Whole Belly clams included. Was really worth the price. I skipped the fries. Wife had pan seared Branzino. European sea bass. Was superb. Loved the lobster Rangoons. Service was really friendly and professional. Thanks Gretchen.

I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! As someone with a nut and shellfish allergy, it is crazy to say that this is my favorite place, but I truly mean it! I highly recommend trying these short ribs with their new IPA! The drink menu is great, and there are a lot of options on the menu to choose from. The view is always beautiful. I don’t understand some of these negative reviews on here since everytime I have been here, it has been an amazing experience!! (Shellfish dish was someone else’s but wanted to include)

This afternoon my wife and I took a day trip to the Groton-Mystic area and all points in between. Lunchtime we stopped in the Fisherman Restaurant at Long Pt. on 937 Groton Long Pt. Rd. in Groton, CT. Perfect timing for me, it was around 11:25 so the restaurant didn't have anyone seated great for taking pictures. I will say not too short;y thereafter the place had several parties seated. Very nice and clean restaurant, with absolutely beautiful views of Palmers Cove. Nice bright dining room with plenty od seating and decorated with numerous types of fish mounted on the walls. Enough about the logistics, down to business the food. we each started with a cup of clam chowder. Chowder had great taste and was a filling cup of thick chowder. My wife ordered a chopped salad with chicken, I ordered the seared tuna salad. My wife's salad was good according to her and she also said it was actually more than what she thought it was. my seared tuna salad was without doubt one of my top 10 lunch salads ever. nicely seared tuna slices seasoned just right, melt in your mouth. the rest of my salad was "shredded" carrots, sliced cukes, sliced avocado and a fresh lettuce in a sesame dressing with sliced almonds. Yummy Yummy it was great. The service was great, the atmosphere great and the food was great. I know it's a Wednesday afternoon in February, I can only imagine in the Summer trying to get a table for lunch or dinner. The views of the water and seeing the Amtrak train travel by what a great spot . We will be back for sure.
