Beautiful setting for a wedding at The Red Lion Inn. The grounds are pristine, with vibrant and beautiful backgrounds for photos. The staff at The Red Lion Inn did a beautiful job hosting a wedding of about 200 people, maintaining kindness and professionalism throughout. They took great care of all guests and ensured allergies were accommodated for the dinners. Walking through the buildings feels like walking through a movie set; Absolutely stunning decor! I would certainly book another event at The Red Lion Inn. Though I could write more, the ambience will speak for itself. Highly recommend! read more

Stayed here for a friends wedding and had a fantastic time. Our room was extra spacious and quite clean. All of the different venues were beautiful, and overall the service was top notch. I've been to similar venues for weddings before and the red lion inn felt like they really gave 100% to all of their events even when there are multiple in one day! read more

Today I had Thanksgiving dinner here. I've been going to Cohasset since 1987. When someone in my family made reservations here, I was very happy. Reservations were for 2.30 and we were all early. We were seated at 2.30 but dinner even the kids meal came out at 3.45. The chicken for the kids was leather tough. The turkey dinner was small portions, water down cranberry sauce and something that looked like mashed potatoes, was terrible. The worst part is the plates were brought out with people holding them by the edges. One guy had on plastic gloves, another guy just his bare hands with his thumb over the top of the plate. We will not go back, and this place was terrible. The best part was we were asking for more bread to a few people. Our waitress came by and said the delay was due to the bread was still in the oven. 10 minutes later the bread came to us...cold. read more

Felt extremely rushed. Started out with the telling us the kitchen requires appetizers and entrées all ordered at the same time. I have never heard of that before and felt pressured to pick quickly as we were hungry and wanted appetizers. For an upscale restaurant the staff should know better than to take plates off the table while people are still eating. I am sure it's how they have been trained, but it was a study stream of staff always at our table, taking things away and making it feel like we were never able to be completely relaxed. on the positive side our meals were good. read more

Has this place improved? Such a great spot, great ambience, but last I visited everything was awful.

My wife's back was sore after some "exercise" and asked me to check with the front desk to see if they had any epsom salts. After returning to the room to say that they didn't, but thought it was a good idea, I was getting ready to drive to the nearest pharmacy, when we got a call from the front desk to let us know they would bring some to us. We slept like babies after our evening "workout". Thanks Michelle for going above and beyond, and also for giving us a tour of the Barn and Speakeasy last night. read more

Michelle at the front desk went above and beyond her duties to be both hospitable and friendly. Very welcoming! read more

My husband and I had dinner this evening at The Red Lion Inn. Since they were fully booked, we sat at the back bar. In the past we have not had a great experience with the food or the service at the Red Lion Inn, but we had heard that they had a new chef and a new menu so we wanted to check it out. For my dinner, I had two of their appetizers: Tuna Tartar (Tuna and avocado were good, but it was swimming in a bowl of soy sauce, and I had to have them dump it out. My second appetizer was the gnocchi. It was good not great. My husband had the pork chop and he said it was very good. It came with fries and they were just ok. All in all, I would say the food was marginally better than it has been in the past, but not a "wow". There is definitely room for improvement. I think it still could be so much better than it is. read more

The best place ever. I highly recommend the Tavern and the Olde Salt House. The Hotel is extremely clean and very well kept. read more

Our stay at the Red Lion Inn was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely taken care of. The inn provided the perfect combination of charm, comfort, and outstanding service, making our experience truly unforgettable. The guest rooms were cozy and welcoming, allowing us and our loved ones to relax and enjoy every moment without stress. While we were hosting our wedding there and everything was completely fantastic (highly recommend for couples looking!), we also ate at the Tavern and the food was absolutely phenomenal -- our guests couldn't stop raving about it! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the drinks and late-night snacks made for an unforgettable end to an already amazing day. Every detail (wedding & guest rooms & meals) was handled with care, ensuring that we could truly enjoy ourselves without a worry in the world. The entire team at the Red Lion Inn went above and beyond to make our stay special, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you Sam Loonie, Toufik, Jan, Andrew, and all the staff! read more

The food is top notch and fairly priced. A new chef and the front of the house is tightly managed by Devin who knows the meaning of hospitality. We've been back 3 times with different sets of friends and everyone has loved the experience. One experience with dodgy service but Devin is committed to your satisfaction. Cozy, cozy ambiance. Love this place! read more

Over the holidays I hosted a dinner for 14 in the Garden room at the Red Lion Inn tavern. We started off with a round of drinks (Happy Holidays!) which was just what the doctor ordered for a family gathering ;). I enjoyed the smoked old fashioned ! We tried every appetizer, all were tremendous ,my favorite, the crab and artichoke dip with homemade chips and the day boat scallops. All the pasta is handmade by chef Rich. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu from steaks, to the before mentioned pasta dishes, monkfish ,salmon, duck, chicken and plenty of options for my non-meat eating family members. Everyone raved about their meals. The service for our large party , with 5 youngsters, was handled effortlessly! Kudos to our servers Emily and Angela. A great way to spend time family (or friends) excellent food and creative cocktails!! read more

THE STAFF is top notch ALWAYS, the village location is quaint, fun & convenient. The in house tavern is like stepping back in time w great ambience, food & drink as well as an attentive staff. The rooms are comfortable & clean most w gas fireplaces , lots of windows with the old world charm intact. The back deck, gardens & pool are a hidden gem along with the waterfall trickling down to the patio as part of the restaurant. WE have stayed often over the years & it has been consistently ENJOYABLE on all levels. Plus The Olde Salt House is within walking distance on the harbor & is great for outdoor dining & drinks by the water. RECOMMEND IT ALL. Additionally there is Live entertainment on Thursdays nights in the CAVE!! read more

Our son got married here at the end of September. What a beautiful venue. Everything was perfect from check in to check out. The services and reception were there.We had the whole Inn to ourselves.The bar manager, Janet, the venue manager and the wedding coordinator were amazing. Also Andrew at the front desk was always there to help out with anything. I would highly recommend the Red Lion Inn for a wedding venue!! read more

I had the pleasure of staying here after a wedding this month! It was gorgeous both the hotel room and the venue. With a rustic like at home feel, the staff welcomes you from the moment you walk in. We had a huge room with a fireplace and jacuzzi tub that opened right out onto the deck. There's a cute little pool and tons of shopping/restaurants within walking distance. The wedding was beautiful, and the barn was the perfect place! We had the whole inn for cocktail hour and had a blast! I want to go back in the fall to enjoy that fireplace in my room! read more

Here for a wedding. I cannot say enough about the beautiful venue. The great staff. The comfortable and welcome accommodations. And everything else. It was perfect. Thank you! read more

This is 100% on the general manager. There's no excuse for his lack of attention and disregard for the customers. Several tables complained to the general manager about slow service. Meals took an hour and a half or more to come out. That's just unacceptable. He watched as tables sat without food or drinks and did nothing. If this is a Wendy's, that's fine. When entrées are $35+, part of that cost is service. The food was reasonably good. Atmosphere was pleasant. However, if you care at all about service (or eating within two hours of being sat ) this isn't the place for you. read more

this was a great find when we were exploring towns like Scituate Cohasset and Marshfield The rooms are comfortable and beautiful with a luxurious old world vibe but with modern conveniences and beautiful baths The staff was very helpful and accessible The Pool area is wonderful and has a relaxed, earthy setting i'm not sure if it's because we stayed Sunday to Monday or whether it's related to Covid or other but we were not able to get food or room service at 9 o'clock on Sunday night and today the restaurant is not open That was not at all a problem for us and they do offer lunch breakfast boxes for free which have yogurt and juices and pastries and cereal read more

This place is absolute garbage. We attended a wedding there and the food took forever to come out and was cold. I do not recommend for a wedding. read more

The inn itself is charming. The restaurant leaves a lot to be desired. The menu had limited choices. Prices were high, which would be ok except the portions were tiny. As a light eater, there was not enough for me. The waitress was nice, but not knowledgeable. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone, perhaps why there were few customers. read more

The RLI has such potential! The place itself is romantic and has a feeling of New England history with its rustic timber ceiling and fireplaces tucked into brick corners. Too bad the bar service is so subpar. My husband was served a gin/soda instead of a gin/tonic. When he pointed it out to the bartender, she doubted him. Then the other bartender checked the syrup to the gun and verified it was out. Maybe that's something to be checked when you set up the bar? The bartender didn't know how to make an old fashioned despite it being on their cocktail list (which has about 12 cocktails--not too many to learn). The other bartender helped her and the drink tasted ok besides having too much ice. However, later in the night I became extremely ill with vomiting and the rest. This drink was the only thing I had that my husband didn't. We suspect the muddled fruit (orange & cherry) poisoned me. I don't think we'll go back to RLI which is sad because it has a lovely ambiance. read more

We had a lovely long weekend at the historic Red Lion Inn. The new CHP management has paid great attention to every detail and customer service. Awesome location right in downtown Cohasset, walkable to quaint shops and dining. Rooms are updated and furnishings are lovely. Hope to return soon! read more

Excellent in every way !!! We hosted our daughter's wedding in February 2023. From the first point of contact to the final good bye the day after the wedding the staff was professional, caring, thoughtful and couldn't be more accommodating. True professionals in every way. The food was totally outstanding. Every morsel of food was delicious to eat, presentation and eye appeal amazing. Toufik and his staff provided exceptional service with the just right amount of service with a smile, a little chit chat but not to engaging with our guests. I can only offer more accolades and kudos to our event producer Sam. I would highly recommend The Red Lion Inn!!!! Absolutely made the newlywed couples dream wedding come true. read more

So I was going to go with 3 stars...up until I got my bill at check out. Wow. To be fair, I have never stayed at an inn/B&B, or the like, so I don't have much to compare it to, but for $221/night, man, I could have done SO MUCH better. So here's the break down and you can decide if this kind of thing is for you. The good: -SUPER MEGA ULTRA comfy bed [pillows, blankets, mattress]. -great water pressure in the shower. -great bath products. -cutesy looking pool outside which I assume is awesome when it's not frigid [my stay obviously fell on a uncharacteristically cool summer day]. -ample free parking. The bad: -the front desk seems to be super understaffed. There was literally one woman whose job was to check people in, AND coordinate all the wedding planning stuff [ours, as well as people who were showing up to get info etc about possibly doing their wedding there]. I mean ALL they do is cater to weddings...you'd think they would have this down to a science. Bottom line is the majority of the guests that had rooms at the inn were not able to get them before the wedding started and had to coordinate with other guests for places to store their stuff/get ready. -There doesn't seem to be central air in the common spaces in the Inn, however there was semi functional air in the rooms. -Food is not available at the inn, nor do they have mini fridges stocked with $8 snacks for when you're hungover and your stomach is eating itself at 4 am. -In stark contrast to the great bath products, bathrooms are seriously lacking in basic amenities--ie. shower caps, Q tips. -No ice machine--had to ask the staff to get a bucket of ice for the room. -Even though the surrounding area is super quiet, the walls are so thin that I could hear my next door neighbor snore, and when my upstairs neighbors decided to get up and pace at 6:30 am, that was my wake up call as well. So, bring ear plugs...and don't plan on having sexy time if you're a screamer and are there with family/friends. -If you have Verizon, you're SOL. No reception in the main Inn building or the 2nd floor rooms. They do have free wifi that works moderately well for an iphone. My hot spot happened to be in bed, which was nice, but my phone would only send texts from the bathroom. Go figure. The ugly: 221/a night?? I mean holy hell. For what?! I guess I never asked about the full price when I put my deposit down because, what was I going to do? I was in the bridal party so I needed the convenience of being at the location, but I literally had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I was handed the receipt at check out. Total rip off. I've stayed at 4 star hotels that offered wedding rate discounts that were close to half of what I paid here. read more

We recently had our daughters wedding here it was absolutely amazing!! The staff was professional and incredibly accommodating! The entire Inn staff were excellent too! Every single person went above and beyond the call of duty! The following day brunch was excellent too! Highly highly recommend the RLI for your event! read more

Stayed over for a wedding Friday evening. The place is beautiful but REALLY needs to be cleaned better. I would never stay here again due to the price and how dirty it is. If they cleaned it I wouldn't mind the high price. Or if they lowered the price and just kept the cleaning staff they have. As for the wedding.... The area is beautiful but again... CLEAN THE PLACE!!!! Food was okay. If it were a restaurant I would never go back. The wedding coordinator seemed to have no idea what was going on. This place has so much potential. For the price you pay you'd think they would have the proper staff. read more

I came here for a family wedding in January 2020. A waitress accidentally dropped a cesar salad bowl with dressing onto my lap (and suit jacket) while bussing tables during dinner service. I didn't think much of it or want to cause a scene at the time - let alone walk around with a wet crotch from attempting to apply club soda to the stain. As if that would have done anything; what are you going to do, sh*t happens. By next morning, the stains had worsened. After dry cleaning had proved unsuccessful, we contacted management to refund the cost of my $500 Kenneth Cole wool suit purchased from Men's Warehouse. Rather than simply accepting responsibility and cutting a check, management mysteriously found "similar" suits online and opted to refund me THAT cost instead of MY cost. Dude cut me a check for a mere $134. Absolutely insulting. I live in Los Angeles near Beverly Hills, where costs are much higher than the average city. As an example, weeks prior to flying out for the wedding, I bought 2 new ties - also from Men's Warehouse - for $100. So his "refund" is a real slap in the face. Most assuredly, I am not trying to run a scam here; I can afford the $500 no problem. It's just a complete shame that management couldn't make this process easy, especially for an immediate family member for the wedding couple. Instead, he wanted to argue and make it an ordeal. Consequently, I felt compelled to write this review for anyone else who may be planning a wedding here. For those in this group, the "Cave" after-party is quite crappy, in my opinion. Our group received 1 cold pizza and a bunch of half-melted ice cream sitting inside an ice bucket which had already sat out for hours during the reception. (They just wheeled it down to the after-party.) Moreover, you had to pay for drinks. The cost of this event add-on was $500... the cost of my trashed suit. read more

Quite possibly the WORST hotel I have stayed in, in recent memory. I grew up in this town, and for the $ they charge, here is what I received: no one at the the desk for 15 minutes upon check in. I had to dial a number from my phone, and wait for someone to arrive. Keep in mind that this is the Monday of Labor Day, so we are still in season. A FILTHY, crumb riddled stairway and hallway, a pathetic room w a TV that sits on a hope chest, maybe 20 feet from the bed. Two rag worn towels, and a couple of dead flowers to greet me. And I'm paying $350 a night. No cleaning service during the day, regardless of me being gone from 9-7pm. NOTHING. No attempt to restock of the fridge w cream or coffee pods. NOTHING. This is my first complaint on YELP, but seriously? DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. Stay in Hull or Rockland. read more

So much potential but falls flat. Upon entering, we were greeted by the hostess who asked if we had a reservation. She grimaced when our reply was no. She then walked us to the empty dining area and basically pointed to where we could sit and walked away. And there we sat. After another couple was seated, waitstaff approached us. We ordered our drinks and appetizers. Both took an extraordinary amount of time. Food: Just no. clams casino was questionable...cool and raw...my better half kept looking at his watch wondering how long before I got sick. Thankfully I did not. Bathroom: ladies room floor was flooded and had a foul odor. I wouldn't go there again...even on a dare! read more

Went to the "tavern" on December 30th. Seated immediately and provided with a somewhat limited menu. After 20 minutes waiting, not having seen a waitress, went to the bar and ordered a glass of wine. Waitress arrived at our table at the 30 minute mark and took our order, a cheeseburger and a taco appetizer. After another 45 minutes, no sign of a waitress or our food. Totally pathetic. We left. You can't pay me enough to return. read more

I had an absolutely incredible wedding at the Red Lion Inn - it is such a special place - unassuming from the outside but absolutely jaw dropping on the inside. I've been describing the venue as having "Rustic Glamour" which is a ridiculous phrase but the best way I can describe this place. The barn is absolutely gorgeous, and all of the rooms at the inn are unique and amazing in their own right - they have a very cozy New England vibe. The food was absolutely delicious. Our wedding and ceremony went smoothly and our guests are still raving about what great time they had and what a beautiful wedding it was. They have everything on site which really simplifies things - all you need to do is hire music, florist, photographer. And the barn is so beautiful it doesn't even need much enhancing. The staff's transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner was seamless. The "Cave" in the basement of the inn is such a cool spot for the after party - and the Red Lion made it easy to coordinate getting food down there for late night snacks. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because communication with the front desk wasn't the best - we had a miscommunication with the rooms that I wasn't too happy about. I believe the issue is that they are understaffed, it seems like the staff wears many hats and they could use an extra hire or two. But the wedding staff was on point - our coordinator Sharada was no nonsense (in a good way) and made sure everything went perfectly, and Bill Ikes who was assisting was so kind and there for whatever I needed all night. Together they made the perfect team. I would definitely recommend having your wedding at Red Lion. For us, it was a perfect wedding. read more

I am so happy that my husband and I chose the Red Lion Inn for our October 22nd wedding. We had the ceremony and reception on site and the entire day was magical. Our wedding coordinator, Jen, was amazing. She was beyond accommodating and worked with us to bring our vision to life. She went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. Jen was extremely responsive to all emails and calls and is so organized. She met with my mother and I several times in order to get in all of the details! The Red Lion is so lucky to have her on board as one of their coordinators. I must be honest, the beginning of my planning process with the Red Lion was not the smoothest. There was unfortunately quick turn over in coordinators/management and we had a very hard time getting in touch with someone when we had questions and were in the planning process. Once Jen came on board that quickly changed. She made the entire process so easy!! The Red Lion Inn surpassed my expectations in all areas. The food was outstanding. Our family and friends are still raving about it! Everything was delicious, full of flavor and presented beautifully. The service was also great! Bar and wait staff were extremely responsive to guests and were very pleasant :) After the reception, we had the after party in "The Cave" and continued the celebrations. We had buffalo chicken and pizza served down there which was great! It was such a fun night. I would also like to thank the staff Toufig (hopefully I spelled that correctly) for being extremely helpful during the reception/after party and in the morning. He also went out of his way to deliver some of our cupcakes with a bottle of champagne to our room for after the festivities. Thank you so much! Everything came together so well. I would highly recommend the Red Lion Inn for your wedding, and Jen as a wedding coordinator if she's available! read more

What a delightful place to stay! Our family was in town for a reunion and decided on the Red Lion Inn. The staff was amazing. The rooms comfortable and generous. We loved the "rustic glamour' of this Inn built in 1706. The recommendations on where to eat and what to do while in Cohasset were spot on. We'll be back after COVID, when the full Inn opens up! I couldn't image a better place to stay. read more

What a gem this place is in the heart of Cohasset! It combines beautifully elements of the original 1704 building with all the modern amenities you would want in a comfortable room. The restaurant and bar area is a place to enjoy a great meal while sensing that you are in a place steeped in history. The staff is friendly and attentive. The grounds are exquisitely landscaped. read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars!! About 3 weeks ago I had the most magical day of my life, and a HUGE thanks to The Red Lion Inn and all of their staff for making it happen! Our wedding coordinator, Jen, was an absolute saint and such a pleasure to work with! She was patient with me throughout the whole wedding planning process and offered advice whenever I needed it! Even when it was less than 2 hours before the ceremony began and I had to make some last minute table changes due to some guests canceling, she took care of EVERYTHING, no questions asked!! I showed up to her office a couple days before our wedding with boxes and boxes of decorations and gave her a quick run through of what I was picturing, and she took my dreams and made them 1000x better!! Toufik, the wedding captain, was beyond accommodating and so helpful! He really is a gem and the day would not of gone so greatly without him or Jen doing all that they did! The bartenders, Dave & Cody, and all of the wait staff were absolutely amazing and took care of all our guests beyond what we could of ever asked for! Everyone hasn't been able to stop raving about how excellent and tasty all of the food was! I especially loved how everything was all under one roof. The day before the wedding we went for the rehearsal and everyone was able to meet in the pub for some welcome drinks. I stayed in the inn that night with all of my bridesmaids so the next morning I was able to get up early and use the salon for myself and all my girls to get glammed and hang out for the day! My husband and his groomsmen had a room too where they could get ready and hang out before everything kicked off. We chose to have our ceremony in the stunning Lions Hall which was perfect and saved us booking transportation to a separate location! The cocktail hour was held upstairs in the barn and the passed hors d'oeuvres were flowing!! The reception went off without a hitch, all the meals were hot and delicious! Dave & Cody were able to keep up with all of the drinks and made a awesome signature cocktail for us! It was so fun being able to just go downstairs to "The Cave" for our after party where there were late night snacks, more drinks and some karaoke! Most of our guests stayed at either the Red Lion Inn or the Cohasset Harbor Inn, and a free shuttle was provided to us because of the amount of rooms we blocked so it was another thing I did not have to worry about and everyone got somewhere safely! If you are considering getting married here, DO IT!! The Lions Hall is absolutely breathtaking and being able to do whatever you like decoration wise is so nice to put your own spin on it!! Also, make sure to ask for Jen, you won't be disappointed!! read more

Attended a wedding here last week. The place is dirty and dated, and the staff is rude, rude, rude. I don't care how pretty the outside is; if the people inside are awful, that's what counts. The entire wedding party was kicked out at midnight by some short angry man who just decided that he had been there long enough. Literally...the bartender was SO confused, said she had no idea what was going on. No last call, nothing. She had just served another round to everyone, and this man came out of the back room and started physically poking and pushing people out the door yelling "get out!" It was a small and quiet group of people over 30...nothing rowdy at all. I feel bad for the poor bartender, who probably got stiffed on a lot of tips as people were unexpectedly forced to close their tabs under bizarre circumstances. read more

Wow! Well I have to say I've been to the Red Lion Inn for years but have pushed it away over the last couple of years because I had always had mixed feelings. Recently came in on a Sunday and was very impressed with the upgrades to the menu, staff and kitchen! Staff - was very friendly which had been in issue in the past. Menu - had a number of great options. Kitchen - I am not sure if it is a new cook or what but it was night and day compared to the visits I have had recently. For a while we would go to other places in town and not even think of the Red Lion Inn but now that has changed! read more

Stayed here with my wife for the weekend. I was stunned by the beauty. We had a secret garden and pool right outside the room, and the room itself was was right up there with the best historic landmark hotels I have visit in New England, including the Omni at Mt. Washington. Was surprised to learn the hotel was built a half century before the revolution. If looking for cookie cutter hotel, look elsewhere. If looking for elegant charm with surprises at every corner, this little spot should be a first choice in the south shore. read more

We came to the Red Lion Inn for our anniversary dinner on 10/20/19. We got married here over a decade ago and have come back for dinner year after year. Despite a couple of small positives, this year's anniversary dinner was such a disappointment. We arrived for dinner around 7:15 and were seated in the cozy bar area where we ordered drinks. For an appetizer, we ordered the truffle ravioli (came with 3 ravioli) and despite it being small, the sauce was delicious. We then waited over 1 1/2 hours (90+ minutes!) for our food. I am not exaggerating. Our food did not arrive until 9:00 pm. The waitress kept apologizing and even offered a complimentary drink while we waited. After about an hour, we asked for some bread, which she was able to get for us. Unfortunately, my plate of steak frites was filled with fat. Over half of the plate at the end of the meal was still full of fat, and the part of the meat that was actually edible was not cooked even close to the temperature I had requested. Such a disappointment after waiting an hour and a half for our dinner. We ordered the profiteroles for dessert, which were ok. The most disappointing part of the meal came when we tried to use a gift certificate that someone had given us to pay for a portion of our meal (knowing that we come to the RLI annually for our anniversary, we've been given many gift cards over the years by friends and family). Unfortunately this one had expired in 2017 (even though I was under the impression that gift cards in MA do not expire?). I could be wrong about this, but the waitress said she specifically asked "Mick," the manager, and he flat out refused to accept it even though she "tried." You would think that since we spent nearly double the amount of the gift certificate, that they would have still honored it, or even a portion of it. Fortunately we have fond memories of our wedding at the Red Lion Inn, and of many anniversary dinners in years past. Unfortunately, this year was quite beyond the exception and ruined our impression of what was once a special place for us. read more

A complete and utter disappointment, my dinner should be a cautionary tale for all others considering Brasserie Zapp. The place was mostly empty at 6:30p on a Saturday night, which I took as a warning - but hoped that it would mean attentive service. The waiter was personable, immediately took our drink orders and wax eloquent over the fresh lobster specials. My wife was keen to try their duck confit, but was immediately told that it was sold out. At 6:30p on a Saturday night in an empty restaurant. Then he told us that the salmon was a very small portion, perfect if you are not hungry. We should have left then, but we were already invested and ordered. My wife and brother-in-law ordered the double lobster special, my sister the braised short rib and I the lamb. The waiter returned 10 min after we ordered, said that only one of the party could have the lobster - the other would have a single and could substitute some scallops or steak. My brother-in-law opted for the petite filet. Three of our party had ordered bisque, which was a generous portion. The soups came out promptly, while the person who ordered a Caesar salad waited over 5 minutes after the others had been served. The entrees were wildly uneven, with the lamb being the only right choice. The double lobster special had slightly less lobster meat on the plate than the single lobster with filet. The short ribs were swimming in a pool of oily sauce with all of it being buried under a mound of fried onion strings. The lamb was plated nicely and was only slightly overcooked (being thankful for small miracles here). The dessert offerings where two sorbets and fried Oreos. We thought it was a joke at first - but that was the dessert offering. What we thought was going to be a nice meal in a quaint location turned out to be a waste of time and money in a place that would seem to be ready to go under. If you have a gift certificate - use it quick, but only at the bar for some drinks. I cant imagine this place will be in business much longer. read more
