Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Groton

We recently dined at Sol Toro, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The standout dish was definitely the fajitas—probably the best we’ve ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors that made every bite memorable. The service was fantastic, with a friendly and attentive staff that made us feel right at home. We also tried the Valentine’s Day margaritas, which were a special treat. Watching them make the margaritas tableside added a fun, interactive element, and the drinks were as delicious as they were beautiful. Overall, everything was excellent, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend Sol Toro for a great meal and an even better experience!

Amazing experience. Our server was amazing, the food was cooked perfectly and delicious. Had the meatball soup to start, was perfect starter then the Dever Steak and NY strip. Both were seasoned and sauced perfectly.

Great service, pizza was very tasty. Stayed for Saturday evening music, was a very fun and energetic evening.

I’ve probably posted a total of 10 reviews in my life and this will be the 3rd positive review for the Fisherman. We had a large party of nine (9) of both young and old and Ava, our kind and caring server, performed like a seasoned veteran despite her not having 20+ years under her belt. Those frontline employees are critical in locking down the overall experience and Ava locked us up and threw away the key! Lol. Ava helped us navigate the menu and offered suggestions and workarounds that fit us perfectly. She even delivered a special request to our bartender, apologize for not having her name here :(, and she handled my common, common to me that is, but weird drink request flawlessly. I simply said….”ask your drink-maker to go off-script and make me a bourbon drink of their own creation”. That’s it. Soar high and do what you’ve only dreamed of doing and you know what? She soared above the clouds and delivered a delicious drink that I wouldn’t have known to order myself. You need to try this- it works every time. Now to the main attraction- the food. From the appetizers, to the main dishes, and the deserts, Zach and his team delivered! We all left filled and delighted. Zach has consistently demonstrated since the Restaurant reopened as the “Fisherman Restaurant“ that “he” IS the new OG of this revived gem. I am sure Mr. James Woviotis, the original OG, owner / chef of the Yankee Fisherman who has since passed, would be proud of the work you all are doing. I had the pleasure of working with Mr Woviotis as his mini OG back in the day and learned so much from him. I’d offer Zach a few tips but he’s proven himself very capable and way above the rim for me to be able to lend a helpful tip. We can’t wait to go back and for any of you in or coming through the area, do yourself a favor and stop in to see Zach, Ava and the rest of the crew and tell them the original OG sent you.

The place has delicious food!! The service is superb and with attentive staffing. I selected 3 stars for the ambiance bc it can be drafty, we played musical chairs to settle into a cozy spot. The bar gives decent pours together with a serving of chocolate torte for dessert! I highly recommend trying this place out. 💫
