Welcome to Dad’s Restaurant
A local staple since 1963, Dad’s started next door as the Harbor Drive Inn but it didn’t take long for folks to call it what it really was: Dad’s (after the original “Dad”, Dave Waddington).  What began as a family favorite has come full circle.  Now reimagined as a modern family restaurant in the heart of Niantic with fresh, locally sourced seafood, a cool vibe and spectacular views of Niantic Bay.

Same heart. New flavor.
Whether you’re craving seafood by the water, sharing a drink with friends, or soaking up soundtracks of summer, Dad’s is the place to be.
