Connecticut is such a small state that there are few secret places left, but when we discovered this restaurant we knew we’d found a true hidden gem. Looking more like a private residence from the outside than a restaurant, Zack’s Bar and Grille is not to be underestimated.

Located in Stonington, the last coastal town before the Rhode Island border, Zack's Bar and Grille serves elevated pub food along with a mouthwatering seafood selection that keeps us coming back for more.
