Reviews of The Griswold Inn
"This is a historic Inn that has continually run since 1776. The restaurant is decorated with prints and relics of old ships. The food was fabulous and the service was wonderful. As we left the restaurant, we walked through the bar area where a band was playing sea shanties and Irish pub songs. It made for a perfect evening."
"We started going there in 2022 for New Year's Eve, arriving on the 30th and staying until the 1st. in 2022 the experience was just fantastic all around, last December there were a couple of hiccups but the Inn Keepers responded promptly and remedied the situation. The place is charming with a lot of character. The rooms are a bit small but hey, that's what you get in historic places, people were smaller back then. The food is spectacular and the overall experience is worth every penny. If you want to go back in time and get the feeling of New England a couple of hundred years ago, this is the place to be!"
"The Griswold Inn is a charming step into the past with a menu that's both modern and mouth-watering. The dining room combines a cozy, historical ambiance with a relaxed vibe. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable; our server, Riley, was amazing! Her attentive and warm demeanor greatly enhanced our dining experience. This restaurant is perfect for a light lunch or lavish dinner. The Griswold Inn is a must-visit not only for a truly enjoyable meal, but also for the exceptional service and charming, quaint atmosphere that surrounds you."
"Beautiful place in a beautiful town. The kind of place one thinks New England postcard. Service was on point, and food was delicious. The drinks were well prepared, and the piano player created the cherry of ambiance to top it off. Will be back!"
"We had lunch today and have had lunch and dinner on several other occasions. The food and service is consistently good. There’s a kids menu with kid favorites- chicken fingers, burger, grilled cheese, fish and chips , and pasta. The adult menu offers lunch items for lighter fare and dinner options. I had the salmon which was delicious. I also had clam chowder and potato pancakes which were excellent. Everyone enjoyed their food. The atmosphere provides a walk back in time. You are eating in a historic building with low ceilings and small windows. The decor is set for the time with old paintings of boats/ships. The bar area is gorgeous and has a beautiful wood bar. It’s worth checking out the bar area in addition to the many restaurant rooms. The hotel rooms are located in many buildings along main st. Across the street from the restaurant is a curiosity shop with lots of neat gifts and unique items."
