The Pad Thai was spot on. Had a nice glass of Riesling with it that cut through the richness perfectly.

Had a relaxed lunch here with a nice marina view. The lunch menu portions were decent. Service was solid even though they were busy. I did wish their wine list had a few more interesting options by the glass to pair with the seafood.

The Dutch Baby with cherries was a special. The savory crepe was good, but the wine list felt a bit limited for pairing.

The open-faced croque monsieur with asparagus is different, no bechamel. Liked it more than the pastries.

The hot sauce bar is a game changer for a quick lunch. Grabbed a chicken burrito and tried a few of their spicy options. Really kicks it up a notch without slowing down the line. Solid spot for a fast, flavorful bite.

We always stop by when we&#39;re in Fairhaven. Love the bookstore connection. The staff is super welcoming. Got the salmon plate again&mdash;cooked just right, skin was crispy. Prices are fair for what you get.

Been here a few times. Server really knew the menu inside out, suggested a couple dishes I wouldn&#39;t have picked. Made the whole thing easy. Food came out at a good pace, no fuss.

The fireplace was the star for me. It wasn&#39;t just decor, it was the whole vibe. Felt so cozy and warm, like a little escape. The staff were just super chill and friendly.

The clam chowder is incredible! Perfect for sharing with friends.

The duck fat fries are so crispy and flavorful, a must-order to share! The ribeye with truffle butter is always a solid pick. Perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends.

Good coffee, solid espresso. Tried a couple different roasts, which was nice. The view of the water from the window seats is a definite plus.

Busy place but worth the wait. The French dip was solid, but the real star was the clam chowder they brought by mistake. So fresh, you could taste the quality of the ingredients. That&#39;s the kind of happy accident I appreciate.

The French dip was delicious, but the portions are truly huge. Could barely finish half of it. Perfect for sharing, I guess!

The Dungeness crab au gratin was a great starter. I really appreciated how fresh the crab meat tasted. The portion with the baguette was just right, not too heavy. It felt like a light, quality beginning to the meal.

The fish and chips are solid. Bigger fish portions than other places, and the fries are real potato.

Got a table last minute on a Friday, which was nice. The space just feels really cozy and lived-in, like a friend&#39;s place. We ended up staying longer than planned just because it was so comfortable to sit and talk.

The &#39;Cups of Kindness&#39; wall is a lovely idea. My morning coffee felt even better knowing I could leave one for someone else.

Coho&#39;s halibut was spot on tonight, flaky and moist. The wine they suggested with it worked. Cozy spot, but the tables are a bit close together.

Love the retro vibe here, especially the old-school neon sign at night. The patty melt was solid, crispy on the outside and gooey inside. A fun little spot for a casual bite.

Stopped by for a family breakfast. Got a bit of everything, sweet and savory. The mulled wine was a nice touch with the food. Server checked on us a few times, which was cool. Solid spot.

Not gluten-free myself, but had to try their gluten-free pizza. The crust was surprisingly crisp, held up well. Really impressed by how they handle dietary needs without compromising flavor. A solid choice if you&#39;re looking for that.

The harbor view from their deck is just incredible on a sunny day. We grabbed a table outside and spent a good hour just watching the boats go by. So peaceful.

Been coming here for years, and the shrimp and grits are always on point. Just the right amount of spice every time.

Cozy cabin feel inside, really comfortable. The food and beer are always solid, a reliable spot. I appreciate how the staff is friendly without being overbearing.
