We ate here on a Friday evening before it filled. The appetizer called "bag of donuts'" was excellent. It is lobster and shrimp fritters that comes with a tasty sauce. I started with a cup of the Mooring special clam chowder and it was one of the best I have ever had. The lobster croissant was excellent with plenty of... more

We recently ate at the Mooring and had a nice meal. Our table was right by the window and we were there at the perfect time to watch the sun go down. It was beautiful. We tried their three course dinners for $19(salad or soup, entree and dessert). I had the seafood pasta and my husband had the sole. Both... more

I was assuming the portions would be smaller given the lesser price and boy was I wrong. We were fortunate to be seated in a smaller, quieter dining area just as... more

We went to The Mooring Restaurant on the night of a snowstorm while on vacation 12/2007. We were the only diners in the restaurant during our dinner. They did not hurry us and the food was excellent. The scallop chowder was very good. My husband said the veal chop was excellent. We would definitely return to the Mooring on our... more
