    This was our first visit and it was outstanding all the way around. The staff, including the owner, was super friendly and welcoming. We’ll be going back and taking friends. Lastly, it was nice to have dedicated parking in an area of town where parking can sometimes be hard to find

    We did St; Valentines Day dinner at The Café, and it is one of our more memorable dining experiences. The scallop appetizer was stunning. We both had the lobster tails - yes two - really nice sized and extremely well cooked crustaceans. I would rate this place for special dinners a smidgeon better than Ramsays at the Casino. They have music on special occasion evenings and jazz on Sunday evenings. Great dining experience.

    We timed it right. We had a clear night, we were seated in the rotating restaurant area, and caught a beautiful sunset. Service was outstanding, great suggestions and very attentive. Food was unique and delicious. The "smoke box" old fashioned was a wonderful table presentation.

    Watch Hill Proper is a must-visit for bourbon enthusiasts and food lovers alike. Their selection of bourbon is vast and impressive, offering something for every palate. The service was exceptional, with Chef Michael Crouch personally introducing the specials and checking in throughout the meal to ensure a top-notch experience. The mussels were delicious, and the special short ribs with brussel sprouts were cooked to perfection. Every detail, from the attentive service to the expertly crafted dishes, made for a fantastic dining experience and evening with friends. Highly recommended!
