Excellent service and food in a historic, lively atmosphere!!
Our second time staying at The Griswold. Always wonderful staff and a unique experience. We always love getting dinner in the taproom or on the patio. Breakfast in the morning is also great. We will be back again!

The Griswold Inn offers a historic dining experience with a cozy tavern and friendly staff. The menu features fried fare like fish, shrimp, and chicken, along with pricier options like salmon. The ambiance and tavern atmosphere are enjoyable, and the traditional dining room's decor, with vaulted ceilings and illuminated prints of steamships, creates an almost other-worldly feeling. Recent visitors have enjoyed the decor, ambiance, and their lunch entrees, including the peach & goat cheese flatbread, which was excellent and plentiful. The entrees received positive reviews, and the carrot cake was tasty and unique. The staff is young but friendly, and hosts are noted as superior, contributing to a nice experience. Visitors often find the experience memorable, especially while celebrating special occasions. The Griswold Inn remains one of the best colonial-style inns, with a timeless atmosphere that makes it a welcoming spot to return to. The food is outstanding, with notable dishes like steak, Prime Rib, and a Brie app, adding to the overall charm. While service has been described as sporadic at times, the overall experience of feeling like stepping back in time is completely worth the trip.
