- DDaveNew York City •24 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoHaving positively and previously reviewed Cafe Routier, I will simply say that it the one restaurant we frequent that never, and I emphasize never, fails to be consistently excellent. The menu choices are always unique and changing (a staple of this restaurant) yet somehow they never miss. This visit was a Sunday night with a late reservation. Despite being last to arrive, everything was prime time perfect and enjoyable. We had trout and scallops which were both excellent choices. This is and remains our favorite shoreline restaurant, and for good reason.More infoCafé RoutierPrice: Moderate• American• Westbrook•4.8
- MMarnaVIPNew York City •21 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe have dined frequently at the Griswold Inn but last night was the first time we dined there with the strolling carolers. It was really quite special such a beautiful historic location to have a holiday meal with the people you love and a little bit of Christmas spirit! The short ribs, as always, were on point and delicious and I don't know you did something extra good to the mashed potatoes last night too! We also loved the oysters and the baked cod was so fresh and yummy.More infoThe Griswold InnPrice: Expensive• American• Essex•4.5

- AAlexandraLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoMy husband and I finally got out for a night and were looking for a unique experience with good food. This was exactly what we were looking for. The waterfall and covered bridge was beautiful. The ambiance was quaint and quiet. The waiter was friendly. And the butternut squash small plate was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.More infoThe Brushmill by the WaterfallPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Chester•4.5
