Great location, right on the water, it is possible to dine either inside or outside. we chose to eat inside as the evening had a chilly edge to it. We ate in the bar end of the building which may not have helped with the service, this was very mixed and it was explained that we had a training server... More

We ended up here after we couldn't find another restaurant, and thank goodness!! The view was gorgeous, very peaceful end to our day to watch the sunset on the water. Our waiter was one the of the best we've had, and made great recommendations. My husband had a seafood platter and loved it. I had a seared tuna on salad,... More

The fishermans platter consisted of 3 bay scallops, 2 small shrimp and a bitterly stuffed fillet of something I think was flounder. The appetizer were muscles my date remarked as "skunky"... The service was poor and the response to any issues were a blank stare... I know that the restaurant will be closing for condo parking or something like that... More

A wonderful dock side restaurant in quaint Stonington. There is nothing better than water side dining in New England in the summer and this location is great. I had scallops and shrimp over penne. When I didnot want the cream sauce it came with, I was accommodated with a light scampi sauce. Very good. My friend had the hot lobster... More

The other day we went into Stonington BOrough looking for an old time restaurant we had been to before called the *Harbor View*. We found it had burnt down :( We then found this place that looked like a tourist trap, something we try not to do,but we wanted to eat so went. Immediately we were drawn to the old... More

My husband and I had dinner here during a recent visit to Mystic. The views were fabulous from the deck (they were even worth it on a chilly evening). Our dinners were tasty and satisfying. The down side to this restaurant was that I really felt that if we were locals, or more specifically regulars we would have gotten more... More

You can eat outside on the dock during the warmer weather, or cozied up to one of their fireplaces in the colder weather. Love to go there for lunch. I usually order my favorite chicken flatbread sandwich, served with spinach, aoli, and other goodies. My husband cannot resist their coquille St. Jacque. We enjoy this restaurant in every season. The... More

We've visited the area several times in the last couple of years and we always look forward to lunch or dinner at Skipper's Dock. Our recent trip on Friday was no different. It was sunny & warm enough to sit on the deck so we did. Service was casual, yet top-notch & friendly as always. I ordered the grilled mahi... More

You would think in the age of trip advisor that restaurant staff would know better than to provide "bad, attitude filled, what are you bothering me for service"! As a lifelong female New Yorker in my 40s, I expect to get the attitude in NYC, not Stonington, CT! My fiancé and I stopped by Skipper's on a Friday at 4pm... More

I visited with five friends. We had a number of different things from the menu, although everyone did have seafood. The lobster bisque is excellent as are the coquilles St. Jaques. The setting and atmosphere is casual, but the food was great.
