A comfortable deck and water view adds to the delicious food and good service. I will bring my guests from out of town here to savor the food and enjoy the view.

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!

First I must comment on its location, driving through the beautiful historic town of Stonington you will find this beautiful restaurant on the water - kinda tricky to find if your from out of town as it is nestled between the pretty old buildings/homes but we did get to drive around some cool historical cannons.Service was absolutely spectacular from our hostess who was super friendly to our waiter Keila who made us feel very welcome.We had the fried calamari, mussels marinara and blue cheese fondu with toasted French bread to start - all very tastyThe main courses we had were the sword fish, grilled seafood medley and fish tacos - all fresh and delicious - just what everyone in my party craved and enjoyedI would defiantly recommend if you are passing through and in the mood for fresh tasting seafood

I echo so many of the posted reviews. View is wonderful and the food is always excellent. However, the standout for my husband and me is the amazing service. All are cordial, helpful if you have a few unique requests, and extremely attentive without being overbearing. My husband and I have been coming to Breakwater regularly and will continue to do so in 2022!

Amazing location in Stonington Burrough. Water views are special. Decent sized parking lot. Had half a dozen ninigret oysters. Excellent as expected. Fish and chips was good. Plan to try more of the wide selection of seafood dishes. Service was attentive and prompt. A little pricey but not crazy.

What a lovely place! We had dinner, right at sunset. The food was wonderful. Seafood pasta and swordfish. Try the local Beer'd, that's correct, on tap. Wheat with a citrus flavor. Great friendly wait staff. Eat outside if possible.

This is a gem kind of off the beaten track from the touristy Mystic area that the locals know well and love. The meals are a cut above, service is warm, friendly and exceptional, prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and you can't beat the waterfront views. We ate out on the dock. We enjoy parking at the Stonington point past the Lighthouse and walking to the Breakwater for drinks and dinner. Truly a favorite of ours!

I attended a networking luncheon at The Breakwater this afternoon and the staff could not have been more accomodating. We ended up with an additional guest which prompted a cimplete shift in the table configuration to accomodate. They did this with grace and ease while we took a group picture. Daniel was extremely attentive to our needs and was full of positive energy. The menu has a wide array from small bites, inviting salads, sandeiches to full entrees. My pork bowl was fresh bursting with color and flavor. I highly recommend!

When a restaurant does well, it’s easy to compliment them. When they have a few mishaps and their response is over the top gracious… you want to tell everyone you know. Long story short, I live here and I would have been happy to bring people back here again per the view, the service, and the food, but because they responded to something small, appropriately, swiftly- and dare I say grandly, I can’t wait to bring visiting guests again and again. Many thanks Breakwater—- you rock!
