Restaurants near Charles Wagener House

We ate at The Cove on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day brunch. We were seated almost immediately when we walked in by a very gracious hostess. For the Christmas Eve dinner my partner had the Delicata Squash ($24) and I had the Pappardelle Pasta w/braised pork belly ($27). The squash presentation was delightful and my partner raved about this very filling vegan dish. I though the pasta dish was outstanding as the sauce was both delicate and rich and the giant noodles were just right, although the pork was on the sparse side being buried in the sauce and pasta. All in all, both dishes were very filling, and delicious. The wine was a bit over priced. We took a late brunch time (1:00 pm) on Christmas day after most of the crowd had come and gone according to the host. However, several other parties arrived shortly after we were seated. It was not as noisy as it was the night before. Our server was very pleasant and gave us time to gab with our guest before ordering. My partner had the Quiche dish, I had the duck special, and our guest had the Belgium waffles w/fried chicken. My partner raved about the quiche and even said the crust was the best she ever had. The duck was smothered in a delicious reduced gravy over a large serving of fries. The duck was sparse but tasty. My friend was amused when her waffles and fried chicken arrived piled like a miniature skyscraper. She found the waffles to be both soft and crisp with a delicate taste. The chicken was done just right. There was so much that she took over half home. We all thought the food was excellent, albeit not inexpensive, and the service and atmosphere was excellent.

A mellow Monday night before Christmas at Nolan’s. My wife’s filet with lobster was spot-on as was my MY strip. It’s always nice when the owner of a restaurant stops by tables. Thanks Nick for checking on us and the surrounding tables. Awesome service from the very personable Mckenzie!

This was our second time at the Mansion for dinner in the last month. As always, it was wonderful. So beautifully decorated, wonderful food and superb service! We’ll be back soon!! Thank you!

1833 bar and restaurant in the Aurora Inn. We had the NY Strip and Halibut entrees. Excellent. Their fries are fantastic. Our dessert was a cranberry/ blueberry crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Blew us away! Service was impeccable!! We will be back!

Great service. Friendly staff. My wife’s pork was overcooked. My ribeye was perfect. Would definitely recommend it.
