“Ate there Saturday, Sept 7th for the first time with my daughter! Service was awesome and the food was to die for! Had Brussels Sprouts with honey, bacon and balsamic vinegar! 😋my daughter and I had a Partisan burger and truffle burger! Delicious! Onion rings melt in your mouth! Can’t wait to bring my husband back! Food is all from scratch and we are foodies! 😋❤️“

“Been going here for over a decade, and Harvest remains the best breakfast/brunch/bakery in the area. They have fresh baked items in the bakery case daily that are priced reasonably, and their scones are THE BEST with great flavor and spot-on texture. Dining in, I always enjoy the Farmer's Benedict with a side of fresh baked sourdough toast. I prefer my eggs poached hard, and they gladly accommodate this request. On top of the most amazing food, the friendly staff, great service, and a cozy atmosphere makes every experience dining in a pleasure!“

“We decided on the Fabulous Tasting menu for our 10th wedding anniversary! Our waiter Jack was so nice, not rushed, and each course was spectacular in flavor and presentation, and along with the atmosphere, it was a perfect night 🌺🌹🍸“

“Top self food, love it! Staff is friendly and accommodating. It’s a must visit 👍🏻“

“The service stellar. The food? Nothing to write home about. The burger and fries were fine. I know this joint is known for their wings, which I've had prior to this visit and the were a home run. So, I decided to switch it up. I'll stick to what they do best during my next visit.“

“I ordered the BAHAMA MAMA SHRIMP TACOS and I couldn’t believe how good they were. Great food, great staff and the owner was excellent on communicating about the wait for our table. I would definitely go out of my way and go back to this restaurant.“

“This is a wonderful restaurant to host a special event at. My 40th birthday dinner was wonderful. The service was top-notch and they even gave me a bouquet of flowers in a glass vase to bring home!“

“We had my daughter’s baby shower at Lola’s. From the start of booking until the day of the shower. So easy to work with. The day of the shower, we were greeted with such warmth and truly our waitress for our party, Becky, was fantastic. Catered to our every need and was so beyond helpful. She worked very hard and was so pleasant! The food was amazing and plenty of it! Guests went back for seconds! Becky even went above and beyond for my mom who couldn’t eat something and prepared a new one just for her. Truly a gem of a place! Thank you again to the owners and to our waitress who went above and beyond for making our day so perfect! We can’t wait to come back! Kim Landeen“

“I had dinner tonight at Soma Grille and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The patio is absolutely beautiful and creates the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing evening outdoors with the beautiful fire pits, greenery and the fountains . The setting is charming, comfortable, and one of the nicest dining patios in the area.

Aidan was an exceptional bartender and was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the entire meal.

For dinner, I ordered the Raw Bar Tower with the Dungeness king crab leg clusters, and it was fantastic. Everything was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The seafood was the star of the night, and every bite was delicious.

Between the gorgeous patio, amazing service, and outstanding food, Soma Grille delivered a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend it for a date night, special occasion, or simply a great meal with friends and family. I’ll definitely be back.“

“This venue was perfect for our wedding ceremony & reception. The location is gorgeous, the event manager is amazing to work with, the food is spectacular. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. This place will always be special to us.“

“Great food, wonderful staff“

“We felt the food and atmosphere were great, definitely a bit more of a fancy place than we normally go to. A bit pricey but the food was very good. My only issue and the biggest reason we most likely will not be going back is they do not have or offer a kids menu and were not very accommodating to kids. I understand it’s fancier place to eat but I was very unprepared when I had my son with me not knowing they did not have a kids menu. He ended up eating French fries for dinner and I had to go home to make him something else.“

“4th year being a non resident golf member here and I absolutely love it! The most affordable private club to join in the area and the amenities keep getting better!

The investments into the golf course, restraunt, bar area, and outside seating has gotten very classy! They redid the entire bar and dining room area. The makeover was much needed!

As for the staff, everyone at the pro shop at wonderful and genuine. Kevin, (head pro) is one of the best! His witty jokes and puns make my entrance more enjoyable each and every time! He is wise with his lessons and is a great teacher with the junior golfers. I took a package deal lesson with him and the results have helped me tremendously!

The assistant head pros are young and agile. Quiet and reserved but then I think some of Kevin's humor has rubbed off on them! Mike has been working with my son on lessons...with it being his first junior golfer also, this will help mold him into a possible early retirement job for myself to be his caddy! Fingers crossed!

Overall, I love playing here and dining in. Yes the prices are a bit steep but what isn't expensive nowadays...it is an older population majority but I see more young guns coming in to help blend the crowd!

P.s. I have gone and played some public courses....but I'm so used to playing on lush tee boxes, fairways that have all divots filled, sand traps that are sand....and greens that run fast and quick. Public courses seem to be wanting money rather than quality

“Ever since I discovered Benny’s , I don’t go anywhere else for breakfast! The atmosphere is cute and cozy! The staff is friendly and the owner is always around making sure everything is done accordingly! Most importantly, the food is delicious!“

“I'm new in the Bristol area. One day I decided to come eat at friendlys and ever since I've been coming here. They are friendly here, the food is always fresh, neatly served and delicious. I love it and so does my 9 year old daughter. I'd recommend friedlys to others any day , and I do actually. My niece comes here too now with me all the time

Vegetarian options: I see they have broccoli and beef bites I haven't tried the new item yet but I'm sooo looking forward to it ! Yummy

Parking: Parking is free and enough space

Kid-friendliness: The kids love it. They are kind, smile and laugh with the kids and they serve them what the kids ask for. It's so sweet

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchairs and enough room space to move around.“

“sunday brunch was nice. food was good service was efficient“

“My family and I love to go on random drives each weekend just to explore our state. During those drives we decide to support and eat at local businesses. Today we stopped at McGrane’s, we were greeted and allowed to choose where we wanted to seat upon entering. The breakfast offerings were ample. My wife and I ordered the All American and my daughter the stackable combo. The All American is eggs your way, with meat option, home fries and toast w/ coffee and the stackable comes with eggs and your choice of waffles or pancakes. Everything came out relatively quickly and the portions were great and the food was good. My only problem was with service - maybe because this has a locals only vibe or it could have been just me but the servers came by only once after we were seated from when we originally seated and offered coffee to when we received our food and got a refill. The rest of the time they ignored our table but had gone to other tables multiple times. Towards the end of our breakfast I saw one server cast a side glance to see if we were about done but never asked if we needed a container or the check. We did that ourselves once we got the attention of another server. Overall if you do come and eat here if you are not a local don’t expect friendliness but you will still get a good breakfast.“

“😊😊had a great meal here tonight. Husband said the ribs were fall off the bone tender and delicious“

“Great place to eat and socialize. Friendly and low key vibe. I love their smash burgers and fries, maple chicken, shrimp tacos, and more. Staff and owner are great. You can do take out orders too.“

“We arrived to some nice scenery outside & the decorations inside are beautiful, the staff were so nice! The food was delicious, and we were not rushed at all. The greenhouse is so toasty with heat, not uncomfortable either! Our waitress, Allie, most loveliest person I’ve ever met, you could tell she is there because she enjoys people. Absolutely will visit again! The atmosphere, the staff, the food, all excellent!“

“Love eating here! I work close by and always enjoy my hot Brown Sugar Latte and food I get! I recommend the Turkey BLT 20/10! And the Soufflé pancakes they run Thursday through Sunday!“

“My first visit to Fork & Fire was yesterday, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. From the moment I walked through the doors until the moment I left, the entire experience was exceptional. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely made us feel valued throughout the evening. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between upscale and comfortable, creating an environment where you can truly relax and enjoy your meal. What stood out most wasn't just the great food—it was the complete experience. Every detail, from the service to the ambiance, reflected a commitment to excellence. If you're looking for a restaurant that delivers outstanding hospitality and an unforgettable dining experience, I highly recommend Fork & Fire. I'll definitely be coming back.“

I am an eggplant parm aficionado and it is excellent. We are just thrilled by the generosity of our friends and thoroughly are enjoying the food! We love Craving for their breakfast & lunch but now we will be stopping by for the frozen entrees as well. Keep up the good work Cravings!“

“What a nice place! Hidden gem. I drive by this restaurant almost on a weekly based and finally had a chance to have a nice dinner with my girlfriends yesterday. Food is amazing, drinks were fantastic and our waitress was super nice. I highly recommend this place. The restaurant is about 8 years old but building itself was established in 1757. It’s like dining at the museum. Loved it!“

“Food is good like the new menu“
