The array of small plates offer guests well curated options that appeal to many palates. Think fresh peach burrata, bao buns, Vermont-cheese charcuterie boards, fingerling potatoes, hummus and dips, and more. Pull up with your date in a cozy bar stool inside their industrial-chic bar, or head outside to sit riverside on their serene patio. Or meet up with friends - they accept reservations for up to 12 - and have a spectacular evening.

Headed downhill. We've loved Three Penny for years, so the purpose of this review is a wake up…read morecall. Menu is still interesting but actual food was meh yesterday, service too. We had a scallop po-boy and crab cake sammy for lunch, well after lunch rush. Servers were consistently friendly and helpful. Food came out promptly but both lacked taste. Crab cake was 80% breading, mushy. Scallops were hit and darkly crusted , but not tasty. Watermelon salad was good. Despite ordering bevs with food, none arrived till food was 2/3 eaten. Server's initial response was "waiting on the bar", tho they were apologetic after it took another long time. We could see the bartender chatting with customers and wiping things down, so suspect there was a teamwork issue. Seems like this business needs owner's TLC!

The burger bun was perfectly buttered and toasted, a solid burger for sure. I liked my coq au vin, but I think I would've liked some hot sauce to add onto it.

We enjoyed the mussels gauzzetto and calamari fritti. The Mediterranean chicken was well prepared and tasty. The pasta special was spinach feta almond slices in a light tomato sauce and I substituted penne for fettucine - I thoroughly enjoyed this dish. The margherita pizza was good. We suspect you need reservations for prime dining hours on a weekend. The decor feels a little dated but the food is great. We can forgive the $2 for a quarter loaf of bread because it's only a few dollars and the bread was fresh and served with garlic oil, not like overpriced $10-$12 Parker House Rolls, but it's not a good trend to charge for bread. Service was good until we wanted to pay our bill - that took a little bit. We'll happily return.

There was ample seating at the bar and as a single I sat down and the bartender was nice and cheerful. She helped me through the menu and I ended up with the fruits of the sea.. in an alfredo sauce. The scallops and shrimps were delicious. The noodles were great and the sauce, although a bit thick was very tasty. The only thing I wish I did different was I ordered the lemon cheesecake.. it was very cold so it'd been stored in the fridge as a slice and it didn't seem to be the freshest but it was okay. The atmosphere is wonderful. The location is great. The service is wonderful. I will be back. I'll just order something different. Dessert.
