Timothy's

Frommer's Review

Chef-owner Timothy Grills (talk about names as predestination) was doing just fine in his original contemporary bistro downtown. He's doing even better now, in his more expansive digs in the Lighthouse Inn. While there are always a couple of perky pastas on offer, his menu now has fewer Italian touches. In fact, at first glance, it appears to be entirely conventional, with such stalwarts as Long Island duckling, barbecue salmon, and filet mignon. He doesn't go in for mind-bending innovation, but shoots instead for a high level of execution. His signature dish is the creamy lobster and crabmeat bisque, hardly a rarity in these parts, but with supernal flavorings. Crab cakes, fried calamari, and lollipop lamb chops are regulars, and very good. New London needs more operations like this.
