Stopped by for lunch and got the bacon cod Reuben. It&#39;s a good sandwich, not too heavy. Washed it down with a local IPA. Casual spot, decent for a quick bite.

A classic seafood shack by the water. The lobster roll was just right&mdash;fresh, tender meat with a little lemon and butter.

Been coming here for years, and the fried clams are the reason. They&#39;re always crispy, never greasy, and the clams themselves are sweet and tender. It&#39;s the one dish I know I can count on every single time. That kind of consistency is hard to find.

Just stumbled off Route 1 and found this place. The sour cream old fashioned donut was so fresh and different. Totally made the stop worth it.

The pizza here is pretty good. The crust is nice and crisp, and I liked the fresh crumbled sausage. It was a bit on the pricey side, but it&#39;s a solid choice for a casual meal.

Always a solid choice for a good, hearty meal.

The rustic vibe is nice, but honestly I&#39;m here for the food. The lamb shank was fall-off-the-bone tender, braised in a rich red wine sauce. Mashed potatoes were creamy and soaked it all up perfectly. That&#39;s what I&#39;ll remember.

Perfect spot to refuel after a beach day. The fried seafood platter is huge! Really liked the crispy shrimp and flaky fish. Service was nice and quick.

Good spot for a quick lunch. The decor is fun. Gets busy at peak times, so maybe call ahead.

Been coming here for years, and their Beef Wellington is the reason. That pastry is always buttery and flaky, and the beef is consistently tender. It&rsquo;s the one dish I order every single time.

The gluten-free pasta here is a game changer. Fresh, made in-house, and actually tastes like the real deal. As someone who has to avoid gluten, finding a place that does it this well is a relief. The texture was spot on.

Solid lunch spot downtown. Got the sushi plate with miso soup for $20. Food came out quick, perfect for a quiet Friday bite. Fish was fresh, soup was hot. No fuss, got me in and out.

Heather was so friendly and attentive. The chef stopping by our table was a nice touch. Really felt looked after.

Solid bagels, good coffee. The bookstore vibe is cozy. Saw a lot of Yale students studying here. Nice spot to grab a quick bite and chill.

We had a reservation mix-up but they were super nice about it and got us a table right away. The server was really friendly and checked in just enough. Felt relaxed the whole time.

The sweet potato fries were fantastic, and they paired really well with a crisp lager. Solid spot for a casual family meal.

We had a family birthday here and they handled the large group well. The custom cake was a highlight &ndash; it looked lovely and tasted pretty good. The main dishes were decent, though the pasta could have been a bit warmer.

Been coming here for years, and their burgers are still the best in town. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The staff here are always so nice and on top of things. My server remembered I liked extra lime with my soda from last time, which was a cool little touch. Makes coming back feel easy.

The fried calamari and zucchini fritters are really good. The space is nice and open, with big windows that let in a lot of natural light. It just feels comfortable to sit in.

The BBQ chicken focaccia was massive, easily two meals for me. A nice, quiet spot away from the usual summer crowd.

The baked stuffed clams were a solid starter, really generous with the filling. Paired them with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, which cut through the richness nicely. A bit pricey for an appetizer, but the portion was huge.
