We were in the area and decided to give this farm to table restaurant a try. It was lovely, warm, and delicious! 2 of us had the cod special, another had the bisson cottage pie, and another had the lo mein medium spice and it was perfect.
The seafood chowder was the appetizer and an special for the evening and it was also amazing.
Cheers to the chef and his delicious dishes and thank you to Heidi , a generous host and server.

My husband and I were in the area doing a baking class and he found Peyton’s Place for dinner. We got there a bit earlier than our reservation and the hostess was so friendly and sat us. We met one of the owners Heidi and she was so lovely and we enjoyed talking with her. The food was incredible, my husband got the cottage pie and I got the seafood special, and we wrapped our evening with a couple of their desserts. It was so fresh and made with such artistry! Between the friendly service, the delicious food, and the ambiance of a 1700s home, we’ll definitely be returning and well worth the drive up!

I am perplexed by some of the poor reviews on TripAdvisor. We dine here frequently and nearly 100% of the time find each dish to be either exquisite or at least very good. The chef is a master at selecting fresh ingredients, combining, seasoning, and cooking to allow the flavor of the ingredients to shine, never overwhelming with the crutches of excessive salt or fats. Often original.
Incredibly bad. In all fairness, the bread and pasta were ok. Everything else was horrible. The waitress’s condescending attitude didn’t help. I tried really hard to like it and we stayed for dessert. (Despite the waitress’s comments about not finishing dinner - if it was edible we would have eaten it!) The brownie was the worst I’ve ever had - think of a little Debbie brownie that has been left outside for days, then make it worse. I really wondered if I was being tricked into eating things that weren’t really food.
Beautiful Location, Friendly Staff, Good Food!

Wonderful atmosphere, friendly service along with delicious food made our visit to Peyton Place a most enjoyable evening. The owner regaled us with the history of the building and the restaurant itself.

What a culinary delight! The food was amazing. I had the filet mignon, friends had halibut, and lasagna. The atmosphere is so quaint. The service was very attentive and professional. The Cosmopolitan was one of the best! We were all stuffed but indulged in dessert as
we knew it'd be amazing! Creme brulee, key lime chiffon pie, and strawberry rhubarb tart. All we could say was omg. So good!! You must check it out we have been missing out. We'll definitely be back.

Chorizo Dumplings and Oysters on the half shell were excellent. Dessert of Strawberry Rhubarb Tart with homemade Vanilla ice cream was delicious.

This is my first google review but I literally do not know what else to do after our dinner here this evening... the staff at this restaurant make you feel like you're in trouble for trying to spend money at their establishment. Heidi IS lovely, which is why we are left so perplexed by the quality of our meal. To start, after we ordered, she asked us if we wanted some dinner to rolls, to which we replied "sure!" only to find a $4 dollar charge for rolls on our bill. Blatant trickery. They do this knowing most people won't complain about $4, but all that means is that my boyfriend complains to ME about it in the car ride home. We ordered a salad and the special lobster pasta to share. We were not starving, but certainly expected more than a few bites each per dish. Wrong! the salad was wet, floppy and tasteless. The pasta tasted slightly less offensive but was.... I wish I was exaggerating.... 6 forkfulls in its entirety. My boyfriend and I ate our meager servings in silence, fearfully glancing over our shoulders to see if we were being watched and/or pranked. The entire experience was so strange that we compulsively replied "yes!" when Heidi collected our empty plates and asked if we enjoyed "every" bite. I wish I said "all six of 'em!" I should also mention we tried to come here two nights prior. Google says the restaurant stays open until 8:30pm, we arrived at 7:45 and were immediately told to leave because the chef was "done." I saw another potential customer mention she was given the same treatment and wondered if it was due to her being black. Without arguing that possibility, we can vouch that they do just turn you away well before their posted closing time. We're not even mad... just confused and all the more baffled after reading so many positive reviews. If you and your partner have nothing to talk about and $200 to blow on tiny morsels, give this place a shot.

Had a lovely evening to eat on the patio! Food was, as always, excellent. I only gave it 4 stars because my lobster scampi didn't have much lobster in it, but otherwise it was delicious. Service was perfect: enough attention, but not intrusive. Courses were perfectly spaced.

Very earthy home styled food with fresh ingredients in a charming setting. No specific cuisine but a wide spread keeps the interest.
