Puffins Restaurant Reviews
We absolutely love Puffins! My husband and I accidentally stumbled upon this gem in 2019 when we got haf just gotten engaged and we just came back in 2025 with our 2 year old. Their mission is great, the view is amazing and the atmosphere is so welcoming and cozy.
First time visit. Totally awesome food. Quiche was phenomenal! Cranberry-Walnut bread (toasted and buttered) terrific. Staff was very friendly, accommodating. They sell mini baked pies, breads and other baked goods on the premises. The restaurant setting with views on the river was perfect. In warm weather, there is a covered deck to enjoy the river view even better. It's open today with Mother's Day specials. I'll be back again soon even though for me it's a 40-minute...read full review

Puffins Restaurant is a highly recommended dining spot with a friendly and loving atmosphere. The waterfront view is amazing and the atmosphere is so welcoming and cozy. The prices are surprisingly reasonable considering the huge portions. The service is consistently amazing, with staff being attentive, professional, and very friendly and accommodating.

Popular dishes include the French toast, Chicken Ranch Wrap, and the phenomenal quiche. The breakfast options are excellent, with dishes like bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches, and the eggs cooked perfectly—one scrambled and one over hard. The homemade English muffin and hash browns are highly praised. The staff are attentive and kind, creating a warm environment.
