Kokomo's Restaurant - Old Lyme

Great location and ambiance. Love the heated little cabanas with Christmas lights. We felt very safe, and enjoyed the "outside dining". Looking forward to coming back this summer!

Great location, but the food was served cold. I've been to this restaurant a few times, the food is hit or miss.

Kokomos did a fantastic job with the outdoor dining experience and we had an outstanding time!

This our first time at Kokomo's, spending a nice night out for drinks and food with my wife.

Another wonderful experience at Kokomo's!

Overall a beautiful location, great additions with lit seasonal cabanas for covid times, but besides that beautiful ambiance I can’t give any more credit. No social distancing inside at bar (i just went in to use restroom)- very unsafe in these times. Even your vendors had partitions up separating them from another to be safe - should do same at bar! Incredibly small portions, no flavor in the pasta, slow service, apps delivered with the main courses, and for the price- nowhere near worth it. I get being a beach location and in the summer you can serve who ever right there that will eat whatever is offered, but this style off season will not sustain you in these times.

The individual greenhouses for outside dinning come with their own heater. They were warm and cozy. Created an igloo-like ambiance.

Wonderful afternoon on the beach on a November day. Warm on the patio with heaters. Just perfect! Staff was great and food exceptional!

Going to Kokomos is like being on vacation. the food is good, the service is good and they have half bottles of really good wines. And try the cocktails!

Unusual take on a pig roast but was pleasantly surprised. Everyone loved it. Great place to eat outside on the sound. Good menu selections and variety. Wish they had heaters though. A bit windy.

Eat brunch on the beach! And get the lobster Mac and cheese.

Parents nights out for the first time in a LONG time. Our seating and drinks were a bit rocky but once the fire pit started roaring and our glasses were full we enjoyed every second of our time at this gem. Will definitely come back again for another outdoor date experience.

GREAT spot, right on the beach!! Can't beat sitting at a table with the sand between your toes and the surf crashing just beyond. Food was mostly pretty darn good - can't complain about the cheesesteak, although there can always be more beef! Fish tacos were good, but not great - we've had better (and worse!) elsewhere, so these were middle-of-the-road. (The tortillas weren't real fresh, and got soggy fast.) Salad bowls were really nice, but not too huge, shall we say. Drinks were great - no complaints there! Overall, a solid performance with a great view and vibe, so we'll likely be back!!

Had never been there before but was up in the area and wanted a beach view.
Very nice ambience basically sitting on the sand. We had fish & chips which were good and not greasy. It was relatively quiet because it was off season. Will go back to try the bbq pig roast on Sunday and clambake on Saturdays. Would be great with a fireplace and closed up with windows for the winter.

Thee staffcwas very pleasant. We went on Sunday...their Pig Roast was heavily promoted on line, web, print ads.
When we got there I would have expected to smell a pig on a spit after all it's a pig roast!
What was offered in fact was pulled pork from the kitchen with Mac and cheese. Hardly the build-up of a pig roast with Caribbean's sites!.
Pricing was overpriced for what it was but I get it it's on the beach after all. Food was average but tasty.
Would possibly go back just to be on the beach and dining but that would be the only reason.
Again staff was very accommodating but the build-up before going did not match what was delivered in the dining experience.

Horrible service horrible food nothing else to say I’ll NEVER go back

Good was very tasty. We liked the flavor of the hot wings. Only issue was that the wings came the same time as our dinners.

Came out here for a pre birthday afternoon lunch with my husband and had a great experience. Our server was very attentive yet allowed us time to enjoy the outdoors when warranted. The establishment next door was playing music, so that was a nice touch. Despite the mixed reviews I read regarding the meals, the food was very good. My husband had the whole belly clams and I had clam strips. Both cooked perfect. The drinks however were very weak. I’m pretty sure there was less than the standard pour in the mixed drinks we had. We ended up ordering a few beers as well in addition. Overall, we had a good time and will be back to enjoy the scene. We will just order beer or wine. No biggie.

It was very good. Have been there before. Service very good, friendly staff. Great view.

If you like sitting on the beach and enjoying eating great food, drink and service then come to Kokomo's. Parking is a little tough in the area but they have valet parking so pull right up to the sign.

Cold steamers , took an hour to get a lobster roll and fish sandwich- we were the only other couple there and order was placed then other people arrived after. Great view, nice waitress however food is really just mediocre- however I would go back for the view and drinks.

Great service and laid back beach vibe. Food was great, will definitely be back.

We went on a cloudy Wednesday night post Labor Day but it still had a great vibe. Atmosphere was great, food was really good, frozen daiquiri terrific! Service was great and all were super friendly. Will definitely go back.

Great sunset dinner on the beach! Can’t beat buck a shuck oysters.

Very overpriced and the food was very disappointing. The only good thing were the nice fresh oysters For one dollar on Tuesdays.

Will go back again. Great service, food & setting

You can't beat the ambiance... Sand between your toes is always a good thing. The food was great although the portions are a bit small and everything is a-la-carte... Including refills on your iced tea! To our surprise, they do not serve coffee or desert I suppose so we finished dinner and moved on to ice cream elsewhere. :(

Great place for sunny afternoon or early evening meal. Right on the beach with good social spacing and efficient and friendly staff.

Excellent Service and very fresh seafood with a wonderful view!

I don't know how I didn't know about this spot. It was right on the beach and loved that beachy feel to it. Food was very good and drinks were great! I will be back for sure.

Wasn’t what my girlfriend and I expected. We made the best of it and our waitress and all the staff did a fantastic job tho.

Muscles, and scallop special were really great. The bees were terrible at 1pm ish. Unbearable at some points. I get it there is nothing to be done about it but it really ruined the meal.

Service was prompt and drinks were tasty.

There was no parking available and the lot attendant directed us to their overflow lot a couple of blocks away. Although the lot by the restaurant was free for 2 hours, he told us the overflow lot was $10 for the first 4 hours or $20 for the day. He had followed us to the lot where we paid the $10 dollars and he took our keys. He drive us on a golf cart back to the restaurant. After retrieving our keys and walking back to the lot, we saw a sign that had been blocked when we arrived that said parking was free at that lot for the first 2 hours early. That put a damper on the evening to start.
We enjoyed being on the beach although the music in the lot next door was a bit loud. Patio seating was pretty much inside and a little crowed for our taste. Our server was new, but she was very pleasant, helpful and a plus in our view.

Pretty disappointed it was my birthday and the service was awful! Asked to buy two sweatshirts four times. From the waitress, the host, and the bus boy. We had to ask for our water and the bees were ridiculous everyone around us was complaining. I was overall really just disappointed.

The space was great, the water was Beautiful, refreshing cocktails , delicious food!! Had a great day with my family.

Great food but some Of the clientele was a little rowdy! Great view!

Hot Lobster roll was $25 and literally had 2 chunks of lobster meat, one claw.

The free parking was limited and we had to park at a remote lot - 10 minute walk. The service, while quite pleasant, was slow. The food was quite mediocre - my crab cake sandwich had a hint of crab, with lots of breaded filler with pieces of fish. The bathroom was unisex and not clean. Do not go out of your way to go to this restaurant if you are looking for a pleasant seaside dining experience.

Food was awesome. Eddie needs to be promoted to wait staff. The kid has a bright future in the restaurant business if his baseball career doesn’t pan out.

We had a great time at Kokomo’s. I can’t say that we have ever dined on the beach. How cool. The servers were working very hard but it did seem a bit unorganized as we had to wait for a table even with reservations. We will go back. I think some type of boardwalk down the middle for the servers would be helpful.
