Owl & Dove — Restaurant in Stonington

What a fantastic restaurant - atmosphere, food, service, drinks were all amazing!!! Went for breakfast this morning and the location by the river with the sun coming in was beautiful. I had the Owl Omelet (and home fries and toast) with a side of their Corned Beef Hash, all delicious and way too much food for me, so I had a nice dinner snack for later. I couldn't resist a drink and had the Mikey cocktail which is their take on a Negroni (made with Lillet), which was perfect and didn't have the 'bite' of a traditional Negroni. Added my hydration of fresh orange juice, a nice dark coffee, and plenty of water and I was in digestion bliss.

Do yourself a favor and go for breakfast, Happy Hour, or dinner (or make it a trifecta!!).

Additional notes: the interior is beautiful, bright, and cozy. They have a rotating 'artist in residence' which really added to atmosphere. They also host events - Book Club, Game Night, Art...

Started with Seacoast Mushroom Toast, a delicious appetiser. The Seacoast mushrooms were a taste sensation. Gnocchi with vegetables, herb ricotta, and parmesan came in a half portion or full.

The flourless chocolate cake missed the chocolate flavor I was expecting however, the other flavors from the berry compote, Carmel, and the burnt toffee were very flavorful and a delicious surprise. The Lemon mousse with blueberry compote and shortbread crumbs was a special that didn't quite work for me. It was a lovely dinning experience and the...

Owl and Dove is my new favorite restaurant.

Ambiance is ON POINT - music at the perfect volume for intimate conversation with your loved ones, an amazing perch over the river, rotating art showcases lining their walls...you can't beat it.

Food is ON FIRE - please try the beef cheek dumplings (you might not want to share them), the kimchi ramen, and the hangar steak. I wanted to eat everything on the menu, so I suppose I'll have to keep coming back to continue to rave about the other options.

Wine list is curated and delicious. Creative cocktails. Nice rotating draft beer menu.

The Staff is knowledgeable, prompt, and very warm. They seem like a family, which is my favorite kind of house to walk into.

Really, these kinds of restaurants don't exist everywhere anymore. I highly recommend it - this place has heart, soul, and endless creativity. Do yourself a favor, and...
