Dogwatch Café Review

The food is absolutely delicious! We ordered take out: Lobster Mac n cheese, New England Clam Chowder, Lobster roll, lobster BLT, chili, calamari no doubt these reviews are spot on. The location is pretty cool right on the water fun atmosphere.

Beautiful view. Very nice place for a drink or dinner

This is a fantastic place to have a drink or dine on the water in Stonington Borough. Great food, great staff. The Dog Pound out back serves drinks.

Great food, nice service. Went with my 78 year old Mom and felt very comfortable with the outside seating. We had a Lobster, BLT and a Kale Salad with blackened scallops and the Wendy's ice cream pie. Everything was really good.

Cutest place by the water in Stonington. They have wonderful views from their dining room and very sweet staff. Seafood is locally sourced, they harvest their scallops right in the bay. There is a variety of seafood and pasta dishes on the menu, as well as salads and great coffee and desserts. In the summer there is a huge outside bar on the docks and the patio in front of the restaurant opens up. The decor is very rustic and nautical but not overwhelming. This place will always we a favorite!

A must when visiting this area. Consistently fantastic food! Many options. Attentive staff. Nice bar and water view.

Food was excellent, really enjoyed the chorizo in the calamari!

Great place for a bite to eat or just a drink. Tucked away in Stonington Borough on the water.

The perfect end to a gray, blustery coastal hangout day. Food was delicious, atmosphere comfortable.

Our dining experience last week was amazing. We were the furthest table from the kitchen and the food came out hot. The staff and the food were both exceptional, can t complain about the drinks either.

We love coming to Dog Watch anytime we are in the area. There is something for everyone with plenty of parking.

a very nice place to go food is very good and the people are very nice and it's right on the the water

One of my favorite restaurants to visit when I am in the area.

Today we took friends to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Lyndsey made our visit very pleasant. Food was delicious and I was so glad ,seeing it was our friends first time there.

Good food, good drinks, in a boatyard - great place

Everything was great today until upon leaving we saw 2 adults with 2 dogs sitting up on chairs in the front of the restaurant This was a real turn off.

Small cafe with great views. Should go early to avoid any crowd. The lobster bisque was pretty creamy. The lobster Mac was a surprise and very unique. Not pictured is a yummy order of calamari and pickle fries. 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent food, but the atmosphere is really what makes this establishment. Have a drink, and take a seat at the inviting dockside bar - where you'll find boaters picking up to-go orders at the "drive-through". Hailed by locals and tourists alike, I'd recommend this place to anyone who wants to relax and indulge in a casual dining experience.

Great food, friendly staff, and wonderful views of the waterfront. My favorite spot!

As always, service was great especially during this time of COVID. Nicole was awesome as was the others paying attention to the needs of the patrons. The food was phenomenal. Broiled scallops and stuffed flounder special......DELICIOUS!

Really cool place with a nice view of the water. Good selection of beer, with a bunch of stuff from Beer'd on tap, at least when I visited.

The Lobster Roll was very delicious. The whole Roll was filled with lobster. I have been telling friends that if they want a good
Lobster Roll they should go to Dog Watch

The food was delicious and service was excellent. I would definitely recommend their seafood entrees.

Fish &chips, coconut shrimp, fried scallops excellent choices.

Friendly, great atmosphere, on the water. Food super!!

Great food,nice location,friendly service,a hidden gem!

Met up with 3 other couples for lunch this week and the Dog Watch continues to deliver top notch fare and service in a great location.

Great view and the food is delicious. Sometimes the wait can be pretty long, but that means you know it's a good spot. Service was very prompt and friendly, and the Bloody Mary and fish entrees are excellent.

Food was mediocre. Veggie burger was mushy. Dog watch pasta with chicken (minus chicken ) was terrible. Fish and chips uggg. Drove from beach to check it out after good reviews on trip advisor. Weekday 2:30. Older crowd. A little more upscale vibe then anticipated. Nice server and friendly with view of pier. But not what I expected. Beer cold and reasonable.

Cool atmosphere on the boatyard dock. Pricey, but interesting menu and the food was good.

Been here twice and each time the food was delicious and the service was great. Staff was friendly and polite.

FANTASTIC!!! The place is Fab! With a view that resembles you are ON a sailboat without the rocking. My meals, yes! More than one were phenomenal ... the service OUTSTANDING. Everyone was friendly!! Loved it!! BTW, as side note, I was the only 'tanned skin' person there. Multiculture safe!! Loved It!!!

A small place at a harbor. Nice friendly service, decent food. Cozy. Have been there twice and would go again.

Great place to enjoy lunch, dockside. Dress is casual. The menu, which is mainly seafood, is reasonably priced and delicious. Seating is limited, so expect a bit of a wait during peak hrs. I will definitely return.

All around fun experience. Great outdoor bar sitting along a dock that makes the wait for a table fun. Fire pits with Adirondack chairs for lounging around. Fun food and drinks. Great atmosphere. Efficiently run. Friendly.

Nothing good with food here. Beer list is sad for a pub. 2-stars, but an extra star for their dog rescue efforts

Delicious bbq chicken flat bread and New England clam chowder. Great atmosphere and view of the water. Nice people and quiet town

Great local bar with moderate prices. Always has a wait for tables and bar seats.

OMG! Fantastic food. Do yourself a favor and go immediately... you wont be sorry!

Very good food and drinks and dinner. Exceptional service. Would visit again!!.

Shared several apps, all super fresh seafood that were just perfect. Server was friendly with quick service even with no empty tables that I could see. Always a win here, thank you.

Great location on the water. Atmosphere is casual and very comfortable. Fried oysters, bacon wrapped scallops and chicken all delicious. Very attentive wait staff. Fun!

Love this place except they took off the sword fish a little disappointed. Love the lemon cello dessert so yummy

Great place, great food and awesome views!! Gift shop is cool too!!

The food was FANTASTIC, the lobster BLT, pasta w scallops, n salad w salmon on top..DO GOOD

Fresh Clean oysters, codwich is crispy white perfection, great service, can't beat the view

Was told 50 minutes by the hostess then told in 50 minutes that she said an hour and 15 minutes.

I ate there this past Monday. ( A 1st Timer) The place looked so inviting and the service was great. Unfortunately, I got food poisoning the next morning. I thought I was gonna die, and all I ate were the Calamari. I've eaten Calamari before, at The Hard Rock Cafe, and I never had a reaction like that. Hopefully they look into that. Will I go back? Yes. Would I order the Calamari again? I'll pass.

Was recommended by a nice group of people I met earlier in the day. Very happy I took their advice. Everything was simple but fresh and executed well.

Food was great and our server Rose was what every server everywhere should be.

This is a very cosy restaurant with a great view on the marina. The staff is friendly and the service is fast once you get seated. We did have to wait 20 minutes before we could go to our table because the restaurant was packed. There is a large menu with daily specials as well, everything we had there was tasty but not super exceptional. They also serve very, very stiff drinks, keep that in mind when you order a cocktail!

Great menu
Fair prices
Perky young wait staff
Very pleasant experience

Great casual bar/restaurant
Foods good prices reasonable. Ennoy.

Excellent food, excellent service, and excellent location. 1st time there for my wife and I, but will certainly become a new stop on our list.

Great food, drinks and view. Service was friendly and prompt. I got the wrong drink by mistake and she fixed it right away without issue.

Great Atmosphere and food is good and service is great.

I would recommend this place 100%. The food is amazing, staff polite. I had the lobster salad roll and it was good. I highly recommend the fish tacos. They're unlike any fish tacos I've ever had. I also recommend the open face steak! It was a Very excellent cooked steak that melts into your mouth and had so much flavor ! The outdoor dining is also very nice and peaceful especially after a long day at the beach. I also recommend bringing and appetite because everything on their menu sounds amazing!

Nice place the clam chowder is really good and the views are amazing

I love this place. The ambiance, the food, the service, even the dog logo. It's all fabulous!

Great food and drink selection. Clean and cozy environment. There are no dogs though but that's ok.

Belly-up to the bar and rub elbows with well-heeled businessmen and local fisherman finding common ground over great food and entertaining bartenders; or sit in the indoor or outdoor dining area and enjoy the same with great views of Stonington Harbor and world famous Dodson's Boat Yard.

The food here is inventive and fresh. You can find typical bar fare as well as top notch seafood, steaks, and chicken. Fun atmosphere in the "Dog Pound" outside in warmer weather with games and summer drinks, and an ice cream tent.

Great food, great staff, great crowd.

The food was delicious, as usual. Bigger umbrellas on the dock would be nice, especially on rainy days.

Excellent meals and their half-size entrees are a great value. Service was top drawer.

Excellent choice for quality food, excellent atmosphere and nice view of docks

Try to get to Dog Watch whenever we are in Stonington. We were their Sunday April 9th for dinner. I had mu usual which is the salmon sandwich which never disappoints. My wife had chicken piccatta which she has had several times before. Always good as it was this time as well, however my wife is not a big eater, and did complain that there was only two small pieces of chicken. She did leave on the hungry side and a little disappointed, however we will return. She did want to make mention of it, but it was to busy.

I've been to Dog Watch Cafe multiple times and it's never a deception. Great food, friendly service and the atmosphere is casual and cozy during the winter and wonderful sunset views during the summer. Tuesday Pasta specials are great for a quick dinner. Will definitely go back again and again!
