We’re in the dog days of summer, and nothing brings instant relief like a nice cool breeze on the water. Throughout the state, whether you’re on the shoreline or along one of Connecticut’s beautiful rivers and lakes, waterfront restaurants are a popular go-to lunch and dinner spot this time of year. While many of these restaurants are open year-round, summer is the perfect time to take advantage of their picturesque views and plentiful outdoor seating (where available). 

To help you decide on your next date night spot or family gathering, we have organized this guide by county. Scroll to or click your local county or the county you are interested in visiting to find which waterfront restaurants are closest to you!
