We experienced The Crocodile on Thanksgiving and again on Saturday 12/7. Service and food were exceptional. The Crocodile is the best restaurant and reptile in town.

A truly hidden gem locally❣️ It is inside a hotel and mostly known to locals. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving traditional dinner at a great price. The portions were large with lots of dark and light meat turkey which was moist and tasty. The stuffing, potatoes,, and other sides had ample proportions. And, even some left for that next day turkey sandwich. It was the perfect place to celebrate and be thankful for all we have❣️🦃🍁

First time there and I was impressed by the whole restaurant both inside and out. Particularly enjoyed the outdoor dining and bar area. Sprinkled with intimate seating areas with fire tables. So charming, will definitely be back!

Our group ate outside on the patio. It was wonderful. The food and service was excellent. After dinner we enjoyed dessert as we sat around the fireplace table.

Our group was large (six) but the service was fine and friendly. They provided the eight-year-old with a separate menu and things for him to do that suited his age (complete with crayons). Very helpful in making the evening enjoyable. Especially loved the homemade tagliatelle pasta that was served with the Chicken Marsala.
