Little Galapagos — Restaurant in New London

What a Delicious Gem of a restaurant in the New London, CT area! Less than 10 minutes drive from the ferry. (Came over from Orient on Long Island) Unassuming side parking lot but had some wonderfully fragrant giant rose bushes in front! Service was friendly, drinks and food came out quickly and I truly enjoyed my “Special of the Day” fresh Lobster Raviolis!! My friends said their ribs were tasty too! They also enjoyed their Moscow Mules (only $8!) but I had a 4 hour drive afterwards so I stuck with my Hot Water & Lemons.🫤 Overall, great place, reasonably priced and Thursday night Karaoke was just starting up… they do have daily specials. I would definitely go back if I am back in town because they had several other food choices I would like to sample. Interesting mix of Mexican & fresh Seafood. Definitely double thumbs...

We were looking for a place with a good selection of meals that was good for kids as well. I read the reviews prior to deciding on dining here. Everyone was extremely happy with the meals! Amazing food, and awesome service. The server was very polite and thorough, and the cook definitely has great talent in the kitchen. We ordered the shrimp scampi, ribeye steaks (cooked perfectly and incredible flavor), grilled salmon, and the fish and chips. Everything was perfectly cooked and the flavor was amazing. We will definitely dine here again. Dining room could use a little more lighting and updated decor, but the meals more than made up for this. I would have never gone there just from driving by the restaurant, but after reading the reviews, I'm glad we decided to done...

This is a very well hidden gem. If you drove past this place, you may miss the fact that there is a restaurant here. We happened to come here on pure chance and were pleasantly surprised.

Patronized mainly by locals, away from the piers, this place is worth a visit.

Aside from excellent seafood, look at their Ecuadorian menu. I came here for a grilled salmon or cod but changed my mind and went with the Chaulafan. This Ecuadorian take on fried rice was quite delicious. Great quantity as well.

For appetizers - try the bacon-wrapped shrimp if they are serving that as a special. Excellent.

I gave them less points for the atmosphere because, although very clean, the decor and the exterior could use some updating. It would attract...
