Stopped by for a quick lunch home on a cold February day. The dining area was bright, clean and warm. The view was wonderful and the food was incredibly delicious. We got the prix fixed menu which was a generous amount of food for the money. We were so full that we had to pack up the included dessert but we enjoyed that later once we got home. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Wow talk about a diamond in the rough. This was the first time I had been. The food was amazing. The service was great. The ambiance was right on the water. This place is a clear triple threat restaurant. They had a midweek special. The prices were very reasonable. We will be back.

Food and atmosphere is great, especially now with Christmas decorations and lights up. The staff was very friendly to us and accommodating with a 1 year old. We had a great view of the sunset

Food was good and the service was great too. Right on the water, so the vibe was nice. Best way to enjoy the first day in CT. Getting here and parking was a little tricky, because you miss the turn, and you have to go all the way around and U-turn back.

Very nice place situated right on a bay with a nice breeze coming off the water. We stopped in for drinks only so can not reveiw food. With that said watching staff walk by with plates of food, it looked great.

Every time we drive to Rhode Island from NYC we stop by Stonington just so we can have a meal at the Breakwater. The location is beautiful, staff are wonderful, and the food doesn't disappoint. Great cocktails too. I also really appreciate the variety on the menu, there is something for everyone, no matter what mood you're in!

First time I have tried it, the views were amazing, was seated outside on the waterfront, was just in awe! Greeted by our waitress right away, very friendly and helpful as most of our group were newbies. 2 of us tried the hot lobster roll and house chips, the roll was hands down the best I've had out there. One in our group got the fish tacos and said they were good as well, and the other guest had the lobster cobb salad and that looked amazing. I notices the table next to us tried the hmade slaw and it looked really goo, definitely will try it next. Saw several other entrees and now I'm confused as what to try next time as they all looked very well prepared and made our mouths water. Highly recommend and absolutely will be back!!

On the water restaurant with good food and service - exceedingly rare in Connecticut. First time - in Northington, what a beautiful little town. And lunch on a hot sunny summer day with wife and daughter - with oysters, fish and chips, and nice drinks. On the pier under an umbrella. Perfetto.

I've been here several times with a friend whose daughter lives in Stonington. This time I came here with my wife. I had the Breakwater salad and it was delicious. While we ate, our eyes feasted on the view of the harbor.

We always enjoy going to Breakwater! This restaurant is always consistent with its food, cocktails and service. The wife and I have found that one of the biggest problems with waterfront dining in Connecticut and New England for that matter is lack of consistency in good/great food and service. We never worry about that when we come to Breakwater! The only other place in New England that I would mention is Coastguard House in RI. That to me and I hope to Breakwater is quite a compliment!We will be back again and again this season and for years to come!
