Main Street Grille - Niantic

Went w my friend and we both loved it!! big portions. i ordered the veggie burger and it was good! fries 10/10. my waitress, grace? 3000/10 loved her she was so freaking nice and accommodating. when you go, ask for grace she?ll make u feel comfortable<3 ????????

Very nice view sitting on on the deck at the 2nd floor level. It could see the beautiful ocean! Each table had an umbrella, if needed. Service was not as quick as expected, but we had extra time so just enjoyed the view and the atmosphere. The hamburgerthat was ordered medium rare was well done, but I didn't return it because I didn't want to wait any longer. Appreciated beingable to substitute a different side dish for fries or coleslaw. I had a very delicious mixed vegetable side instead instead.

The only positives about this restaurant were the drinks and our server, Riley. His professionalism and charm exceeded the quality of the food we received tonight. I appreciate that the kitchen accommodated my request for a substitution with angel hair pasta, but I was extremely disappointed with the dish that accompanied it. Scampi is typically a simple and inexpensive dish to prepare, yet they completely missed the mark. It was even featured as a special, likely to use up lobster that tasted stale and seemed to be previously frozen. There was no hint of butter, olive oil, salt, cheese, or even fresh parsley. When I tilted the plate, a thin, clear liquid resembling pasta water pooled, along with some barely discernible lobster. The flavor was minimal, and the pasta felt old, as if it had been cooked 2-3 days prior. With my extensive experience in the restaurant and food industry, having worked from farm to fork in fine dining, I sincerely believe this restaurant is in dire need of improvement. You can find much better food nearby. I truly wish the team there the best in getting things back on track, as no restaurant deserves to fail like this.

The fish dishes are on the pricier side, but they are well-prepared and fresh. The patio offers a pleasant dining experience, and when we arrived around 5:45, we only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table there, although there was ground seating available. However, the rice pilaf served with the grilled salmon was a bit too salty for my taste. Overall, this is a solid restaurant to consider.

I've visited this restaurant multiple times this summer. Each time, I've sat at the outdoor bar and enjoyed both excellent food and service—thanks to Kara! The ahi tuna salad and salmon sandwich were both delicious, and the drinks were expertly crafted as well. I will definitely be returning!
