Beautiful Long Island Sound views are a bonus at this fine-dining establishment next to a marina at the Saybrook Point Inn & Spa.

The buffet is stocked with an amazing array of foods, including oysters and clams on the half-shell, prime rib, wondrous salads and desserts, and made-to-order omelets, pancakes and pastas. There also is an attractive bar area and an informal outdoor bar at dockside. more...
