Dinner outside at this establishment on patio was great...view of where the West river meets the Connecticut. And for the most part the food was very good...(yellow fin tuna w/wasabi sauce), Strawberry-spinach salad with swordfish steak, clam chowder....all excellent. Chocolate martini tasted like they took vodka and mixed it with milk and a bit of chocolate syrup...no creamy taste at... More

The food is good not great but good. The view is very nice by the water, hence the name. Sunday brunch buffet is very good, A nice selection of local beer to choice from. The service many times isn't great.

If it's a nice day, the outdoor seating area overlooking the West River can't be beat. We recently had lunch outdoors, and my chicken sandwich and onion rings were very good. My wife's burger was cooked way beyond medium, so that was a disapointment. The dark and stormy I had - OK, it was actually 2 dark & stormies- was... More

ANY seafood or shellfish is going to be delicious -- always fresh and the finest quality. Great bar. Only downside is when it's a bit too crowded and more than a bit too noisy.

20 years of good food in a lovely setting blemished tonight by a really bad meal and really bad service. Fish tacos were just bad, side of rice was a cold blob, waitress ignored us after one member of the party asked for some limes (attempt to bring some life to the tasteless tacos) . Not like it was busy...our... More

I know it has been a while since I went there last but it was a wonderful night on the open deck with great food. Loved the lobster mac & cheese

I had not been to the restaurant since they re-built. What a great job! The atmosphere is terrific and the food continues to be top notch. Loved the garlic bulbs for an appetizer and their burgers continue to be my favorite.

Loved the view of the west river. Such a friendly place to stop for a drink and a great meal. Had great Mac and cheese, salad, wrap that we requested swap of steak instead of chicken. Had a steady stream of customers mostly locals. Watched the river on a sunny day. Saw many great meals go around us all looked... More

The Marina, as the name suggests, is right on the water with a splendid view of the West River. And this was on a mediocre early March day. In the summer I would expect a variety of moored and moving boats. The food was good (though the chili was VT style, rather than NM), as was the service, but it... More

Only the view is good. After their reconstruction we hoped to be regulars. However, each time we visited over a six month period the service was dreadful and food terrible. Even complaints to the manager did not help. So we vowed not to return and have not.
