Noah's

What a charming little place to sit and enjoy freshly made food. We were out yesterday in Stonington, CT. a a mini snow squall kicked up with a brisk cold wind which made our trip to Stonington even better. Driving on Water St. we saw Noah's on the corner flying the American flag at lunchtime. we stopped in . We were greeted by Meghan and seated in a cozy dining area with a few booths and tables spaced nicely. Old building so all the old floors and metal ceiling sheets and a bump out window table caught my eye. This place is a great place to warm the bones and sit and enjoy the atmosphere, there was party of 4 sitting and just enjoying each others company and the comfortable and cozy feel , nobody was rushing them out. We were seated and first thing you notice are the great photographs on the walls. A local artist John Papp, beautiful photography and neatly matted and framed. Colorful exotic birds and some local pictures all for sale. Onto the food, we were there for lunch, breakfast is served until 11:30 then they switch over to lunch. My wife ordered a Awesome Sauce Burger that comes with lettuce, tomato, cheese and smoked applewood bacon, I ordered a Boro Bowl, comes with rice and quinoa.You get 2 choices of sauces along with 4 standards, spicy sesame and ranch dressings I chose tomato, edamame, raw red onion and raw spinach. I added a protein Bulgogi steak. EXCELLENT bowl !!!!! My wife said her burger was great. Meghan provided excellent service with a smile. This small restaurant was a great stop for us, we will definitely be back again. Their menus offer something for everyone, breakfast, lunch or dinner you can't go wrong Top the experience off with beautiful Stonington, CT.

My one big complaint is that the menu states that the guacamole is made fresh and that clearly wasn't the case. The food was fine, the guacamole was fine(just not made fresh). Other than that, it's a cute place that is very quaint with lots of charm and character.

This place has been here since the late 1970,s. It only keeps getting better. Great chill vibe! Food, service and atmosphere gave us the perfect start to an afternoon of exploring “the borough!” Thank You! FYI. If you are traveling make sure you reservation ahead. Lastly the restaurant is on a quaint street. The water view photo is a path near the restaurant. You will fall in love with this quiet corner of Connecticut.

This little place is very cozy. It's in an historic town that gets extremely busy in the summer. Our waitress was very friendly and efficient. There's beautiful artwork on the walls that are available for purchase. It has a bar but we sat at a table. There was a fireplace going. I ordered the Bulgogi lettuce wraps which is Korean style beef with Sriracha mayo as an appetizer, and the baked haddock with rice and vegetables for the main course. For dessert, I ordered the gingerbread pudding cake. The appetizer was fantastic. I forgot to take a picture before diving in. The haddock was cooked to perfection as well as the green beans. Unfortunately, I was served mashed potatoes with it instead of rice. The potatoes were very good but I thought it was a weird thing to serve with the fish. I wasn't a fan of the gingerbread pudding cake and wished I had gotten the spice cake instead. It was served with a sauce that made the texture of the cake too wet. All in all, I enjoyed my meal very much. It was a nice, relaxing atmosphere and we were able to sit and chat to kill time before we proceeded to a program at the Le Grua Center down the road.

Four of us had Great breakfasts here, Including two of us who are vegan. We vegans were happy to enjoy oatmeal and fresh fruit, and more than one plant-based milk available. Great service, lovely atmosphere. We definitely come back the next time we are in town.

It's absolutely one of the best breakfast stops we've ever made. The staff was so friendly and they were kind enough to find us a spot. I recommend reservations for this spot. It's extremely small and very busy, but it's quaint and cozy. The food was to die for. I don't know what they put on the homefries, but they were delicious. The blueberry pancakes are a must try if you stop. I'm definitely going again with reservations.

Noah’s a restaurant located in historic Stonington Village. We had lunch on a Wednesday. Itwas a rainy, cold winter day and was very busy. Not surprising. The food is cooked fresh with fresh ingredients and very generous portions. Our server was a gentleman who was very friendly and attentive. They are open for breakfast, lunch and diner. A must try when in the area.

Nice little restaurant, in a very old, and historic building. The food here is terrific. We stopped in for a bite, while we were traveling coastal Connecticut. Their carrot ginger Soup is very delicious. They have quite a few dessert options. The desserts are in a case so that you can look at them, and make your decision. Our waitress was great, and everything here was perfect. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Stopped in for a drink...amazing service at the bar! Old 19th century vibe with great bourbon selection and some craft cocktails mixed in. I had the "what the Fig?" Fig Brandy, Apple brandy, chartreuse, and lemon. Very well balanced. Loved the drink, but it's seasonal so get it while you can. My uncle got the buffalo trace and coke. I would never mix coke with such a good bourbon with anything, but the flavor was actually amazing!

Returning from a visit with relatives in Maine, my companion and I overnighted in Mystic, Connecticut. The next morning, after checking out of our hotel, we spent a few pleasant hours strolling about the Mystic Seaport Museum before paying a call at Noah's Restaurant in nearby Stonington. Highly recommended by a friend, we thought this would be the perfect spot to enjoy a casual light lunch before heading back to Pennsylvania. Making its debut in 1979, Noah's has become something of a Stonington institution. Located on the corner of Church and Water Streets, the restaurant is domiciled in two adjoining storefronts, one given over to a convivial horseshoe-shaped bar, the other to a pleasant dining area. Homey & Comfortable are the words that best describe the scene; and I sense this the moment we cross the threshold and behold the profusion of meetings and greetings. It's quite apparent that the lunchtime crowd here is comprised almost entirely of locals - on this particular occasion, it appeared that we were the only out of towners in the house - which is usually a good sign. Certain segments of the menu change on a daily basis. The day of our visit, for example, there were possibilities ranging from Turkey & Brie Sub to Grilled New York Strip Steak, Seafood Spaghetti, and Pan-Roasted Monkfish. Then, of course, there's also an assortment of Appetizers, Salads, House Made Noodles, Hamburgers & Sandwiches, and an interesting number of make-your-own Boro Bowls. Of particular interest to us, however, was the section of the menu celebrating Oktoberfest. Included were such substantial entrées as Sauerbraten with spaetzle & braised red cabbage and House-Made Pork Schnitzel with vegetable & mashed potatoes... both of which we deemed a tad on the heavy side for a "casual light" lunch. We settled on the choice of Wurst(s). And, interestingly enough, we both decided on the Bratwurst, which was poached in beer and served with German potato salad, juniper apple kraut, and ramekin of zippy mustard. The dish came in two portion sizes... We both ordered the diminutive version. The shared dessert - Blueberry Pie garnished with vanilla ice cream - was something of a mixed bag. I enjoyed the flavor and consistency of the pie, my companion did not. The real problem, however, was the crust, which was so hard and unyielding that it was almost impossible to cut, even with a knife. Bottom Line: My companion and I really did enjoy Noah's laid-back, casual ambiance... but we were also in agreement that the food (at least what we sampled) could have been a good deal better.

View is phenomenal No EGGS ARE 11! JUST DRIVE 4 HRS! anyway supporting a local small shop so I'll get a sandwich...small local place right off highway But Breakfast is the way to go here I missed it !

Great rainy Saturday lunch at Noah's. We were able to be seated quickly. Great selection of items on their daily menu Two of our party had noodle dishes made with their fresh pasta. Each was very different from the other based on the plentiful selection of ingredients and options. Everything was presented in a timely manner and with very nice plating skills Highly recommend Parking in an open lot nearby

Good service, nice atmosphere, food is overpriced, small portions and limited menu. Pictures on website are somewhat deceiving. I won't be going back there!

Wow! We had the best date night sitting at the bar here. The bartender Ryan was kind and made perfectly balanced drinks. I loved that all the locals know and love him. The ambiance here is like a pub/tavern and the food is elevated American classics as well as lighter/healthier options. I had the Messy Dan Burger. It was so good we ordered a second. I wish that was a joke but it's not. Can't wait to come back!

Dinner for 4 here about a week ago. Very pleasant experience. This is a "modest" restaurant: modest size, modest menu, unpretentious interior. We came here because the wait wasn't too bad. We sat at the bar for about 30 minutes until our table was ready and had an adult beverage; very friendly atmosphere and the staff are really nice to deal with. The dining room is not large, but tastefully decorated. The table bread is very good, I had to avoid overeating it. I split an order of mussels with a companion, they were perhaps lightly undercooked. They tasted wonderful, but perhaps I am used to my mussels being overcooked, as I was a bit concerned that it could be an issue. Pretty much everyone at our table had the scallops (see photo). They were perfectly done, and the sides complemented them beautifully. I'd go back in a heartbeat if I didn't live several thousand miles away!

Noah's is a great local restaurant offering fresh and local food options. It's our go to place when in the Mystic area. Servers are always great. Although it's crowded you are not rushed. Local decor.

Had a great meal here! Came around 6 pm on a Saturday evening and they didn't have a table for 3 but we were able to eat at the bar. The bartender was great and very nice and prompt. I ordered the corn for an appetizer and I loved it. The chipotle sauce was so delicious with the cheese. Then I ordered the bowl. It was great to be able to customize it. Very fresh and good sauces to tie the bowl together. The bowl was also a very good size and I was very full afterwards. The inside is very cozy. Overall a great experience!

Always a terrific breakfast or brunch meal at Noah's. The best wild blueberry pancakes ever. Coffee game is on point. Extra plus having the half n half served fresh in a pitcher instead of those shelf-stable small containers. Service is friendly and the ambience is quintessential seaside New England charm. The photos of flowers, beach, etc add to the esthetic.

I have never had a bad meal at Noah's. The burgers are always juicy. You can never go wrong with the fresh linguine. The service is always amazing as well as the food. There are oysters are always plump and fresh. The mussels of the moment are a must. Pro tip go during happy hour you can't beat the happy hour prices. Noah's has the full cocktail list as well as beer and wine. Homemade desserts daily!!!

Reasonable prices, attentive staff used to tourists, and extensive menu but nothing truly unique. Casual

We hadn't been to Noah's in years, and decided to go last night. Maybe it should have been a warning sign that when we walked in at 6:30 it was only about half full. The waiter was prompt, but I was surprised by the lack of premium brand liquor. We had the guacamole which was flavorless even though full of too large hunks of onion and tomatoes. I had the scallops and my husband had the pork chop which were both unremarkable. The brussel sprouts were, however, perfectly cooked. It's a nice location with an attractive bar area, but we would not return.

Oh so good that we had to come back for breakfast! Spent happy hour (every day 3-5) and we were so pleased we came back for eggs Benedict and huevos rancheros the next morning. Had to take a pic of ladies pancakes too. The service is great. Thanks Ryan and Steve for making us feel like part of the Noah's family!

Went to Noah's at the suggestion of many. The place is adorable. Very quaint. We sat at the bar. The service was slow, at best. We were there for two hours. We immediately ordered drinks and the homemade guacamole. It came out 20ish minutes later. It was ok but lacked seasoning. Homemade chips were good. I had the house salad with salmon. The lady next to me has the shrimp salad and wasn't impressed so I changed my choice. It was a solid 5 out of 10. My friend had the lettuce wraps. The lettuce was weird. Not Romain like you normally see but a big spinach leaf- it appears that couldn't hold the meat. She said the meet was seasoned well and tasted good. Nothing here wow'd us! Same with the couple next to us.

Our first try at Noah's was a great experience. We sat at the bar for Happy Hour and everyone, staff and customers, were extremely friendly and accommodating. The nachos and Sagy dogs and drinks were excellent. We will return for dinner and hopefully many more HHs!

Great cocktails, good food! Also this place has amazing views of the harbor from pretty much wherever you sit!

I hate to do this, I really do, but our dinner last night at Noah's was simply not good. It's a cute little spot but it needs a lot of love. My cloth napkin was ripped, the salt and pepper grinder filthy and cracked. Mostly, the food not good. My pork chop special was flavorless. I don't think they even used salt and pepper before they prepared it. The spackle was mushy and flavorless. My minestrone soup didn't even look like minestrone soup no less taste like it. And what restaurant only has two selections of vodka nowadays? My wife's meal was no better. Neither or us finished our meals. The service was very good however. Our waiter was attentive, and the food came out fairly quickly. Unfortunately, Noah's was a disappointment. Maybe the kitchen was having a bad day.

Ehst an awesome restarant. The view of the Essex Marina and River is outstanding in thr bar area. Love yhe service and foof. Believe me when O say you'll love it!

Great food, great staff. It's not just for breakfast, though breakfast is amazing! (Betcha you can't finish the blueberry pancakes, I always think I can but it's never happened.) Dinners are always top notch, home cooking only way better! Fresh, local ingredients, prepared with care and skill. Oh, fabulous cocktails as well. You really can't go wrong here.

We were on our short visit to the little beautiful Stonington town and were feeling cold on a rainy day in December. We came across Noah's while driving through the tiny streets and decided to take a break and have a cup of coffee. But surprise!! It was happy hour. And surprise again!!! They had oysters on the menu. No-brainer! I had the raw oysters and also the baked ones. Both were good. I liked the raw ones more. The problem with the baked ones was too much bread crumbs. But both of them were fresh and delicious!! They have a nice menu and everybody in the restaurant appeared happy. The menu is a bit pricey. Do visit if you are in town, especially if it's happy hour.

Excellent service, ambience and food. This is a smaller place and I imagine at dinner time, it becomes a drinking hole. You are greeted with a smile and I truly enjoyed the breakfast and the fair price.

Really cool place where we often make over an hour drive to get to. Just had an awesome lunch if Asian noodles and a BLT sandwich followed by Key Lime Pie. Delish! Knock off one star for the clean but sketchy bathrooms.

My partner and I were celebrating our first anniversary this weekend. The overall aesthetic of the restaurant was cozy. In an old sea town, it certainly has its charm. She got the avo toast, and I got the duck comfit salad. It was a healthy balance of fat, acid, and heat. Our server was pleasant and attentive. We would definitely go back again.

I have been a Noah's customer for about 40 years. The food is all from scratch Deserts all made in house, daily specials update on their web page. Fresh bread for sale. Serious wine list, The owner is on the job all the time and the staff is very friendly.

Amazing buck a shuck Tuesday and great food over all! Korean Bugulbi nachos are amazing the specials are always great!!

I love to support local businesses that being said I need those businesses to also earn my support. I walked into Noah's at opening and was less than impressed with how dirty the floor was to start with. I ordered the French Toast and Portugesse Sausage excited to try when the plate arrived I was shocked to see one sausage and what appered to be very burnt french toast. When the waitress asked how our food was I was truthful the sausage was very hard to cut with a knife and the french toast was charred. I was given the reason they need to cook it thoroughly. I have photographed many breakfasts at many restaurants and never have I seen French Toast that dark. My wife's breakfast was not any better. She ordered the pepper frittata served thin as a tortilla and had absolutely no flavor. She also ordered home fries that were also way over cooked and did not appear to be very fresh.

A comfortable place to meet a friend or two for breakfast or brunch. In a charming village setting. Variety of food choices & interesting artwork displayed. Parking can be a challenge. Find out about evening specials, @ note the history of movies made there with "hometown girl" Meryl Streep!

Cute restaurant in a row of quaint homes and businesses. Food was wonderful and the service was excellent We were warmly greeted on our arrival and were seated immediately. We had a cup of corn chowder....fresh and excellent, I had the scallops they were YUMMY and my sister had a burger that was perfectly cooked and delicious. Nice ambience, noise level was on the quieter side even though the restaurant was filled. So good we are, we are returning next week.

We ordered Cobb salad (very good) and BLT (pretty good). Service: not so good. We had to ask for a menu after several staff walked by us. Then it took 35-40 minutes to be served. Pleasant setting.

I was truly surprised at this little jewel. I met a friend there upon his suggestion. Not being familiar with the area, I took his lead.. Not a bit disappointed. The food was wonderful and the service impeccable. Our waitress had wit and humor and was quite efficient. I would highly recommend this hideaway for a contemplative afternoon luncheon.

Updated review: I had a lovely dinner here the other night and was well taken care of. The local scallops are quite delicious and the ice cream sundae was, honestly, one of the best I've ever had. The caramel was layered all the way through, which is expert-level sundae-making work. Buck a shuck, every Tuesday, as well, is very much worth your time. Delicious. My only tiny critique would be portion size. For the price point, I was hoping for slightly more veg, potatoes, and scallops. That said, my new review is closer to a 4.5, as this was a minor critique. Great people. Lovely place.

Jan 2023. Got to change the review unfortunately. Something changed here over the past year. Flavor and menu very different. Almost seems optimized for economy .... Been coming here very long time - only few blocks away but hoping food and menu returns to how good it once was.

Great food, great service. Always very busy, and that's cause the foods always fresh n tasty! Breakfast is outstanding!

Really nice restaurant with a really cool atmosphere in the bar room. Drinks are great! They have hand-made pasta. Good for groups under 6.

Just had lunch here. The salmon dish was good judging by how quickly my brother cleaned his plate. My mothers sweet potato chips were delicious but her roast beef sandwich was difficult to eat because it was too fatty. My arugula pesto fettuccine was blander than expected. I couldn't taste the arugula and the cheese didn't have much taste. The decor of the restaurant was cozy and welcoming.

I've been seeing this restaurant pop up here and there when I'm looking for new places to eat around the area. I've been dying to try this place for months and finally did last night. Honestly I am very disappointed, my margarita was all the way watered down. My drink tastes literally like sour water yucky. The food was decent nothing to brag about barely any seasoning on my food. My mashed potatoes didn't even have one speck of pepper ob it. Basically wasted 100 dollars on tasteless drinks and food that I could have made at my own house cheaper. Safe to say probably not going back here again which is super upsetting because I was hoping for it to be one of my new go to spots.

We went there for breakfast at the urging of a Friend of mine that used to eat there a couple of times a month 20 years ago. We were staying in Mystic and on the way to providence so why not? Really quaint little place in an adorable town. The drive there alone was almost worth it. The food and service was excellent. We had coffee and pancakes and left very happy.

We were walking around the Boro last Sat night at prime dinner time and happened to pop in to see if we could get a table. Luckily we took the last one- perfect timing! Service was prompt and very nice, great beer selection on tap. I got the homemade fettuccine with pesto/salmon (multiple combinations of meat & sauce choices) it was incredible. My wife got the Asian noodles with veggies/organic chicken, perfect healthy dinner she was hoping for. We couldn't decide so we got our own desserts to share of each LOL Coconut Rice Pudding & Chocolate Pecan cake with an espresso martini WOW it was all sooooo good! Can't wait to come back again soon.

honestly my new favorite spot. it's been on my to try list for a while now and i finally went. made a reservation only an hour in advance and so happy i did because by the time of the reservation there was a wait! so cute and you can feel it being a local spot. happy hour is everyday 3-5 and it's worth that. i've heard brunch is the scene!

Staff gets a big zero. Unapologetic, late and attitude. Great food but unfortunately can't get the food without dealing with the unhappy staff

My wife and I are staying in Mystic for our honeymoon, and wanted a nice breakfast. I looked on google and saw one picture of the blueberry pancakes at Noah's and knew we had to go. The service was great, and our food was also. I got 2 slices of Challah French toast and 2 scrambled eggs. They were both cooked to perfection, and the coffee was great! My wife had 2 humongous blueberry pancakes and 2 scrambled eggs, and said they were delicious. A great hidden gem!

I want to give Noah's 10 stars. We are so pleased we walked upon this charming place in Stonington. The extra special touches are appreciated. The owner places fresh cut flowers from his garden on each table. They freshly make their own bread and bakery products. They smoke their own Canadian bacon on site. The wild blueberry pancakes are exceptional! They even include "real" maple syrup without an up charge. We saw the bartender mixing up some bloody Mary's and decided to try one too...also excellent! The prices are also very affordable even during these challenging times. The staff is helpful and so friendly. Great place in Stonington, CT.

Great breakfast spot... best to make a reservation as it gets busy! Pancakes, eggs, oatmeal, homemade toast all good! Bottomless cup of coffee the best!

Sunday supper was a very nice 3course meal with an app, fish as the entree and dessert . Tortilla pasta ands sauce lacked flavor and needed more sauce. The waiter gave check then remembered I got dessert . He asked if I wanted it. Strange as it was part of Sunday supper. He was not very attentive and had to flag him down to get a second drink. Which took forever. It was a bit loud and the place could use some updating.

fantastic food, great staff, try the lovely home made desserts! all in a pretty antique building

Food and atmosphere were great. Portuguese eggs and blueberry pancakes were superb. Easy, casual, relaxing and friendly is a great way to start any day.

The Cobb salad was very good, BLT just so-so. Service was half-hearted. We had to ask to be seated, ask for menus, ask for someone to take our order, ask for a check. Pleasant setting, though.

Nice place; no clam chowder anymore, which we were hoping to order. Online Menu needs updating.
