Stopped by for lunch and got the bacon cod Reuben. It&#39;s a good sandwich, not too heavy. Washed it down with a local IPA. Casual spot, decent for a quick bite.

A classic seafood shack by the water. The lobster roll was just right&mdash;fresh, tender meat with a little lemon and butter.

Been coming here for years, and the fried clams are the reason. They&#39;re always crispy, never greasy, and the clams themselves are sweet and tender. It&#39;s the one dish I know I can count on every single time. That kind of consistency is hard to find.

Just stumbled off Route 1 and found this place. The sour cream old fashioned donut was so fresh and different. Totally made the stop worth it.

The pizza here is pretty good. The crust is nice and crisp, and I liked the fresh crumbled sausage. It was a bit on the pricey side, but it&#39;s a solid choice for a casual meal.

Always a solid choice for a good, hearty meal.

The rustic vibe is nice, but honestly I&#39;m here for the food. The lamb shank was fall-off-the-bone tender, braised in a rich red wine sauce. Mashed potatoes were creamy and soaked it all up perfectly. That&#39;s what I&#39;ll remember.

Perfect spot to refuel after a beach day. The fried seafood platter is huge! Really liked the crispy shrimp and flaky fish. Service was nice and quick.

Good spot for a quick lunch. The decor is fun. Gets busy at peak times, so maybe call ahead.

Been coming here for years, and their Beef Wellington is the reason. That pastry is always buttery and flaky, and the beef is consistently tender. It&rsquo;s the one dish I order every single time.

The grilled polenta bruschetta was such a nice surprise! The texture was spot on, and the flavors were really bright. A great way to start the meal.

The lobster roll was generously filled and reasonably priced. The booth seating was comfortable, which made the meal more enjoyable.

Most of the food is pretty good. The fried stuff can be a bit inconsistent, but the fish in their sandwiches is always fresh and decent.

The gluten-free pasta here is a game changer. Fresh, made in-house, and actually tastes like the real deal. As someone who has to avoid gluten, finding a place that does it this well is a relief. The texture was spot on.

The tomato pie was so refreshing. Just the right amount of cheese to let the flavor come through.

Solid lunch spot downtown. Got the sushi plate with miso soup for $20. Food came out quick, perfect for a quiet Friday bite. Fish was fresh, soup was hot. No fuss, got me in and out.

This wine bar is so cute, perfect for catching up with a friend. The server was super helpful picking out a wine since the list is huge! We tried a few small plates and honestly, each one was better than the last. Great spot.

Heather was so friendly and attentive. The chef stopping by our table was a nice touch. Really felt looked after.

Parking&rsquo;s a hassle, but the food keeps me coming back. Had the grilled salmon again last night&mdash;cooked just right, crispy skin, not dry at all. That&rsquo;s what matters.

Solid bagels, good coffee. The bookstore vibe is cozy. Saw a lot of Yale students studying here. Nice spot to grab a quick bite and chill.

Always come here for breakfast. Their omelets are fluffy, and the orange juice is fresh. Staff is super nice even during the rush. Just a solid spot.

The vegan options here are actually good! I went with a friend who&#39;s plant-based and she was so happy to have a real menu to pick from, not just a sad salad. We split the jackfruit tacos.
