Best of Connecticut 2012 Guide

Few experiences are as gratifying as pulling into port for dinner at a fine shoreline restaurant like Fresh Salt at the Saybrook Point Inn & Spa. Fortunately for the rest of us, it’s also accessible by land. As its name suggests, this gem overlooks the point where the fresh water of the Connecticut River meets the salt water of Long Island Sound. In summer, take a seat on the terrace to enjoy local oysters, food and drink from regional farms and brewers and the spectacular view; when the weather turns chilly, a table by the fire is just the thing, and the water view from inside is still a stunner.
