We went here for dinner this evening. We order chicken wings as a appetizer they we very yummy. Waiter was on point tonight. We order our dinner both items off the special menu. My man got a steak and I order thick cut pork chops. The food came to the table look amazing, unfortunately I cut into my thick cut pork chop it was completely raw. We sent it back to the kitchen, they brought the dish back out same piece of meat just cooked a little more I cut into the middle of the pork chop and yet still completely raw. The server tried to make it right by giving us a huge discount on our slip. But honest the manager or the owner should of address the situation and never once showed their face. We will give this restaurant one more try. Hopefully better outcomes.

On the evening of January 18, 2026, I went to this restaurant with two sisters to celebrate my sister’s birthday. We had a reservation at 6:30 PM. Due to snowy weather, we arrived at 6:55 PM, and we had already confirmed our arrival when the restaurant called us beforehand.
Upon arrival, we were seated at a very small square table. There was another table next to us that was still occupied, so we accepted the seating. After ordering, once the food arrived, it became clear that the table was far too small to accommodate all the dishes. When the neighboring table became available, we asked our server if we could add that table so we could fit our food properly, and the server agreed.
Everything seemed fine until around 7:50 PM, when our server came over and asked if we wanted to pack our food to go — in a very pushy manner. We felt rushed, especially considering we were there to celebrate a birthday and enjoy our evening.
We paid by card and left a cash tip under the receipt. As we were leaving the restaurant, a woman (presumably a manager) chased us outside and asked how the service was. I honestly told her that the service felt poor because we were rushed, while the table next to us was not treated the same way.
Her response was extremely unprofessional. She said, “The waitress only made $6 for one hour,” which made us feel blamed and uncomfortable. Our home is 30 minutes away, and we came with the intention of enjoying a special birthday dinner — not being pressured to leave.
To make matters worse, she then told us never to come back to the restaurant again. I have never experienced such disrespectful and inappropriate behavior from management.
This experience completely ruined what was supposed to be a special celebration. I would not recommend this place based on the service and the way customers are treated

Food was absolutely amazing and better yet, it was all free through the Amex Platinum Resy credit. The chicken wings were out of this world. Would go back just for those alone.

Fish and chips and sushi were delicious. Friendly staff. Lots of variety on the menu and a little of something for every palate.

Me and my sister went here the other day and it was a pretty nice experience. Our waitress was super nice and attentive. The vibe of inside was pretty nice and kinda relaxing. We got two rolls of sushi to share and they tasted pretty fresh. I ended up getting a special, the handmade spinach and garlic ravioli, which was pretty tasty. I’d definitely come back and try out some more dishes.

We had a large party who came from NH for dinner here (18) ahead of a show at the Loos and the entire staff was outstanding! Our server Kayla was so nice, attentive and at ease. A true professional! Everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks and the accommodations were perfect for a fun night all together! 85 Main is a gem! “Chefs kiss!”

Great place for a beer and some fresh oysters. Oysters were phenomenal quality. Kudos to chef James for having top quality ingredients in such a small town of Putnam. No wonder why they are so successful. The mignonette for the oysters was to die for.

This place is a hidden gem food wise. Apparently, it’s three restaurants connected so you can get sushi, which was very good. I just ate it before I had time to take a picture, but I got the spicy tuna roll with tuna on top. It was called the Red Dragon. Then for my entrée I got the seared pepper tuna with yams and Chinese eggplant. My goodness it was fantastic. The tuna was perfectly cooked and nice and peppery. The yams were almost caramelized. It was so good creaming just melted in your mouth. And the eggplant had a balsamic glaze on it that was to die for. The place itself could use some updates, but that doesn’t mean anything towards the food. The food is amazing and worth the trip. Well Done 85 Main Well Done.

Had the pleasure of booking the wine celler room for a rehearsal dinner this past weekend and experienced service and cuisine beyond our wildest expectations. Sushi appetizers, main dishes exquisite wine beer drink and service staff. Can’t wait to go back.

The food at 85 Main is always absolutely delicious. The wait staff and bartenders are also cordial and efficient. However, lately it seems like they’re on a bit of a money grab here. I requested a Belvedere martini straight up before my meal. I get the check at the end of dinner and I see that my modest sized $14.50 Martini has been marked up another $3.50 because I got it straight up, or for some other random reason I do not know. I do not normally fuss about such things. It’s short money after all, but when I asked the bartender what that was all about she looked at me and shrugged her shoulders. I realize this is a higher-end place and it has a really cool eclectic vibe but don’t add insult to injury on the drinks.
