Three of us ate dinner here. We ordered the chicken parmesan, red snapper and the salmon. The only one that was good was the salmon. The snapper and chicken were both over cooked and tasted like dry-jerky. We did have a caprese salad that was delicious. Service was friendly but very slow.

Located in an adorable downtown storefront community, this place has an upscale divey quality if that makes sense.

My friend & I are we’re looking for a place to eat and stumbled upon this jewel. We were a little hesitant but we were hungry! So we went in as soon as we walked in we were greeted. We were then seated quickly. Our waitress was extremely sweet & kind. Our food was sooooo good. Overall we would recommend this place to anyone look for some good food & a good atmosphere. Not to mention all the decorations inside super cute, it has a cozy small town feel. And after you eat and you need all that goodness to settle just a walk in the neighborhood it’s very adorable.

It was crowded and kind of an old dive style place. I prefer darker lighting and louder music but otherwise not a bad place. I had the Red Snapper with mash and asparagus, it was pretty good. My friend had the tenderloin and said it was excellent! For a wealthy town I was surprised when my draft toasted lager was only $6, not bad. Our meals were between like $25 and $35 and they were served up pretty quick, nice place!

Worth the visit…small little restaurant but atmosphere is nice. Nice walk after you eat. Walk the halls of the historic Griswald Inn.

Food was good! I had the crab cake tacos and they were very fresh tasting. A little dry..I would suggest more sauce..but everyone was very happy with their meals. The waitress was great. The place itself is lovely..quintessential New England for sure! Definitely worth checking out if you’ve never been!

Had their steak and cheese here for lunch. What a great little place to go to on a Monday when alot of other restaurants are closed. The steak was real steak and not paper steak. The bread was fresh, cheese was perfectly melted. Great service and great food. Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. P.S the negative reviews do not seem correct. The other folks in the dining room were enjoying their dishes and the waitress kept up with everyone. Very positive experience! Give them a shot!
