In Old Lyme, as in many surrounding towns on the CT Shoreline, there are an abundance of "average to mediocre" restaurants serving pub/diner food.

What are they thinking???!!The place has been restored to perfection, the art is nice,the wine/spirits are quality grade BUT the food is not worthy of its surroundings.The foods we ordered for dinner were of poor quality with no taste .
