My friend brought me to this tiny little bistro tucked away in between the other businesses of Bank Street and it was one of the best food experiences I've had. I'll admit that I don't remember much about the menu except that I ordered the griled turkey blt and it came with the choice of either pasta salad or three... more

We heard great things about this restaurant from a couple of friends, but we left very disappointed. The menu, though not extensive, did have a fair amount of variety. Service was slow; the staff appeared more interested in talking about their weekend plans than attending to our needs. Food preparation took longer than I would have expected, and the entrees... more

Marieke's is a real gem and a terrific addition to the dining scene in New London. I've been going there for years for what has to be the best BLT around (always freshly cooked, crispy thick bacon with mesclun greens, great tomatoes on a fabulous ciabatta-type roll). Today my husband and I stopped in and shared the special--a ham and... more

It is unlikely that I would return to eat again at the South Side Bistro, but the experience was not unpleasant. The reason is simply that it does offer a good value. Of the entrées we tried, the food was fresh, tasty and well prepared but nothing about it stood out. The portions were barely adequate but possibly just right... more

This place is withoutt exception the best kept secret in the Greater Southearn CT area. There is no place ofering fish as fresh as what they serve, and the other offerings are fabulous. I have never eaten mussels as fine as the ones served here anywhere. This restaurant should be on everyones DO NOT MISS list ! more

Lunch, on the large deck overlooking the Thames River, is a fantastic way to enjoy your lunch or dinner at Marieke's South Side Bistro. There are many delicious choices for lunch....Chicken Curry Salad, Roasted Red Pepper and Smoked Gouda Cheese soup, various panini sandwiches, and more. For dinner, South Side Bistro is BYOB....without a corkage fee! The dinner menu is... more
