Greeted in a very friendly manner. Taken to a table outside, as requested. All staff was very professional yet friendly. Food, both appetizers and entrees were prepared well. The only objection is that the food was served too fast without time in between courses. Highly recommend!

my friends and I had a great lunch visit. The only sorry thing was that Stonington still has not learned that it does not have enough parking spaces for all the businesses that are allowed. We had to walk in the rain from Church ST. BTW we are all seniors.

This was our first venture out to a restaurant in a year, due to covid. We stayed at a local hotel, and went to the Mariner for dinner. It was wonderful, and we ordered everything from appetizers to main courses to dessert. All the food was excellent and service was great.

Honestly, it was a perfect experience. Our server, Pam, was wonderful- very attentive and friendly! The food and drinks were superb. Honestly, the only thing I can even nitpick about is that our entrees came out a little too fast, before we had the chance to finish our appetizer. But honestly, I’d rather have it come too fast than wait a long time. Thank you to The Mariner for a lovely Valentine’s Day!
