Restaurants near Old Chatham

“I look forward to eating here every time I’m in the area! I love the food! The service is awesome! Every! Time! I especially appreciate the gracious and generous nature of the people who work here. And the owners are wonderful. They have an establishment that consistently provides an excellent meal and the perfect place to catch up with old friends.”

“My partner and I booked a last-minute reservation at Aviary on a snowy night over the holidays, and it turned into one of the highlights of our visit to the area. The staff was warm and welcoming, the vibe lively and pleasant, and the food delicious. The menu was inventive and the portions plentiful, and we felt like we were lucky to have picked this spot. Recommended, next time you're in the area.”

“For the sake of full disclosure I’ve worked with the owners for over twenty years in the television industry. They have brought the same dedication and amazing attention to detail that has resulted in their tremendously successful careers, to their wonderful new restaurant. They have thought of EVERY detail from the whimsical videos playing in the rest rooms to the sugar cubes for your espresso... they have missed nothing. The menu is inventive and perfectly executed... Watermelon Gazpacho?! Whoa! The unique presentation of the Calamari appetizer was wonderful. Bouillabaisse?! You don’t find that as the seafood option very often... what a treat. Others in my group enjoyed perfectly cooked steaks and the slightly smoky Mac & Cheese. Of course the cheese plates are spectacular. This is one of those meals you won’t forget! But wait did I mention the speakeasy downstairs? The perfectly appointed room features an amazing menu of craft cocktails AND six draft beers to choose from... including Ommegang Rare Vos... you simply don’t find that on tap anywhere!! Finally a word about the service. It was impeccable, perfectly attentive without being stuffy. Chris and Ellen have created a destination restaurant!”

“We tried this place for the first time the other day and will definitely be back. The food was delicious and the service fantastic. We ordered the gyoza, chicken karrage, and chicken yakitori appetizers, habachi noodles with beef, and the house poke. Everything was delicious. Our favorites were the chicken karrage, and our main meals. I ordered a brown sugar bubble tea that was delicious, and will likely try the Hawaiian refresher next visit!”

“May 4 at S&S The beer was good as always. The music was very good and Flaco Tacos was excellent. Cold and windy, still a great evening. Beer line was a long wait. It’s better when beer is served at two locations.”

“Five of us celebrated a birthday at Fork & Whisk yesterday, and we loved it. Three of us are repeat customers, and two were introduced. They also plan to return with others. The service was accommodating, friendly, and fun! The menu offered so many delicious choices. My favorite is the Tuscan beans and greens; however, I sampled all the others from my generous friends. I highly recommend you go there for a delightful gastronomical experience!”

The food was delicious and extremely reasonably priced. Even though it's an hour and a half away from us we plan on going there again soon. It's worth the drive!!!”

“We were introduced to Isola as our daughter is a friend of the owner Hillary. What a gem of a place! For those who love wine and/or tapas inspired food and/or Jamaican island tunes that play in the background, a stop is a must. We live about an hour away and will definitely be back. We'll try planning for the wine class next time as we missed it this visit.”

“Great food, reasonable prices, very clean, and friendly, professional owners. Highly recommend. I have been going here since it opened.”

“We eat here all the time. We have always had great food and great service. I NEVER order steak when we go out because I’m always disappointed in one way or another. My husband has ordered the NY strip several times and it’s always been amazing. Last night I ordered the strip steak and it was absolutely amazing! It was cooked perfectly! The mashed potatoes were so good!! We love this place, we’re so happy to have a great restaurant so close to home.”
