The staff was very friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is perfect for catching up with friends or getting some work done. The food and drinks were amazing. I had the blueberry chia pudding, the maple sausage breakfast sandwich, and the Maple Sage Latte. The coffee was the perfect strength for me after adding an extra shot, and the flavor was perfectly balanced. I am devastated I do not live closer!

When you go in, you can grab a menu and decide what you want before going up to the counter to order. You're given a number to put on your table and the food will come out when it's ready. If you ordered a caffeinated beverage, your name will be called so you can go up to the counter and pick it up. we ordered two pork hashes with a black tea and coffee. There is no free refills. The coffee and tea were both very smooth. The pork hash was really flavorful and well cooked. The barbecue sauce is on the sweeter side and at certain bites dominated the flavor profile. something in the dishes made us super lethargic afterwards. i don't normally daytime nap but took one when i got home.

We were craving breakfast sandwiches this morning and decided to order from here! We each got a…read morebacon egg and cheese sandwich, one on an english muffin and one on cinnamon bread. When I tell you, the sweet and savory combo of this sandwich was genuinely unmatched. The crust/outside edges of the bread were a bit crisp with sticky sweet cinnamon goodness, and the middle of the bread soft and pillowy, holding in an amazing savory egg and crispy bacon with some melty cheese. I ordered online and waited just a couple of minutes inside and had my food in no time. The staff was so kind and there were lots of people eating and enjoying their food while I was waiting. The prices were super fair, especially for a sandwich this delicious I will definitely be returning in the future

Update after a few more visits has them down to a 4 based on inconsistency…read more -- Roast Chicken: Hearty fall/winter dish with crisp skin, herbs aplenty, and gravy underneath, with roasted carrots and mashed potatoes. A little dry in the interior. No longer on the menu as of last week. -- Grilled Shrimp: Plump shrimp whose paprika-heavy rub and grill flavor balanced the butteriness, with a pepper aioli joining as well. On top, pickled fennel. Underneath, grilled sourdough that soaked in the grill, butter, and seafood flavors. Fantastic but no longer on the menu as of last week. -- Forge & Vine Cheeseburger: All the same ingredients as on a Big Mac, only of much higher quality, on a thick burger of high quality. I've been hoping to relive the glory of my first burger here (see previous review), but it's been rocky. Good grill flavor and outer crusting, but medium to medium well when I ordered medium rare. (Yes, I mentioned it to the server and manager.) Still a pretty good burger, and the bacon I added this time was thick and walking the tightrope between crispy and bendy. But a big miss on hitting greatness again. So I gave it another chance the next visit, and it was again overdone. But this time I sent it back, and the one they sent out was very good. The most recent visit only required one try: excellent, with the right crust outside and proper pink and juicy inside, along with a solid assortment of vegetables and condiments. An exemplary burger-- when they cook it right. -- Calamari: An eye-catching appetizer with the mostly thin rings pretty much treated like chicken wings, with a spicy tangy glaze, an aïoli underneath, and some kimchi on top for presentation. Very good crunch and flavor, but thicker pieces would have allowed a better tasting of the seafood itself. Still very enjoyable and I'd get it again. -- Shrimp Cocktail: Solid job, good size, presented in ice with lemon wedges and a cocktail sauce a little light on the horseradish. -- Grilled Swordfish Meunière: A thick slab, lightly grilled, fairly. A thin brown butter sauce, capers, and sautéed mustard greens added some much needed moisture and oomph. No longer on the menu as of last week. -- Jimmy Nardello Peppers: Long, bright red, no heat, slightly sour, and somewhat fruity like peppadew, dressed up with garlic aioli, chimichurri, and coriander seed. Outstanding. Great beer pairing. Beautiful space. Good to outstanding service. Cody pours his heart and soul into the experience, exuding enthusiasm from the greeting through the check. Some might find it a little overdramatic, but after enduring too many AWOL and near-comatose servers elsewhere, I can't get enough of it. I like this place, and consider it good to very good, but it seems like the proteins (especially the grilled items) turn up a little too dry a little too often to consider them great. Their pricing is high but well worth it when the execution is there. When it's not, it's a too-expensive just-okay. Despite the inconsistency, going with a 4 based on the most recent visit being problem-free.

To start, we ordered the Point Judith Calamari. Unfortunately, it was easily the worst calamari we…read morehave ever had. The portion was tiny--it felt like we barely had any on the plate--and the pieces were so small they seemed like baby calamari. To make matters worse, the sauce was aggressively sweet. It felt like the kitchen was trying for an Asian fusion vibe but missed the point entirely. Thankfully, the main courses were a completely different story. The Short Rib was absolutely exquisite. It was perfectly cooked, and the accompanying Wagyu fat potatoes were incredibly tasty and flavorful. We also ordered the Half Cornish Hen, which was phenomenal. Chicken/hen dishes can easily dry out, but this was remarkably juicy, not dry at all, and the skin was perfectly crisp.

Wow. I got food poisoning after eating here on a Sunday evening. Nothing was fresh as advertised…read more The complimentary cornbread was literally cold. My husband and I came from out of state for an event and decided to stop here for dinner based on reviews. We drove in from Marlborough, but traveled from Texas. I should have leaned on Yelp, because the google reviews were much more positive. I've never had food where literally everything tasted like water or vegetables tasted like they'd been out overnight. I think the vegetables were rancid and that they're trying to keep ingredients longer than normal since the season is changing. We spent nearly $200 and ordered the following hoping the food would get better or that we ordered the wrong thing.: - the crab spinach dip (salty) (3/5) - 6 oz filet mignon (no flavor), (2.5/5) - 4 Jumbo Shrimp Topping (great), (5/5) -Yukon mash, (4/5) -Mac n Cheese, (Bland) (2/5) -Bok choy (super greasy, just butter) (2/5) -Roasted mushrooms, (3/5) -Roasted Chicken (tasted like water), (2/5) -Risotto (came with chicken, tasted like water), (1/5) -Vegetable Medley (rancid?), (0/5) -Cup of Clam Chowder (no flavor), (1/5) -Dessert (Chocolate Chip Cookies + Milk), (3/5) I've just never had such terrible food. It's always weddings happening here, so maybe that's all the revenue they need. I would never come back here. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Unfortunately my stomach has been messed up all day because of this terrible restaurant.

Beer selections are minimal but just varied enough that you'll find something to your liking, whether mainstream or craft. The food menu is much deeper, nailing most of the pub food classics. As a burgers and wings guy, that was my focus, but there's enough greenery to satisfy my vegetarian wife too. GPH Burger: A well sourced blend, made into a patty of good thickness, grilled over an open flame, and housed in a potato bun with a generous allotment of toppings. Beautiful presentation, and most importantly, the flavor of the beef came through, never getting lost. You can order pink or no pink; I went pink, and on my first visit they nailed the temperature, color, and juiciness to go along with the crusty exterior. Good seasoning, and very enjoyable grill flavor. One of the best burgers I've had this year. Tried it again on a second visit, again requesting pink, but: a) not pink or juicy, and b) no flame grill flavor. Still a decent burger-- mostly because the addition of some nicely chewy and very strongly cured bacon picked up some of the slack. Third try, a repeat of the first, so two out of three ain't bad. Smashburger: Solid enough, though not as pronounced of surface crispness as a proper smashburger. Fries: Hand-cut, plentiful, dark, crispy, and just droopy enough. There's no salt on the table, but these were salted perfectly. Ketchup is an off brand, with a little more tartness than the standard, but it worked fine. Onion Rings: The thick ring, thick batter kind, and very crunchy. All depends on whether you like that style. Hot Dog: The menu lists them with fries included, but if you're already getting a burger, you can add one on without getting the extra fries. Toasted New England flat-sided bun, very juicy, grilled wiener, and toppings you can choose. Chili is a $3 add-on, but note there are beans included. I enjoyed mine and would get it again without the chili. Wings: Went Buffalo once, somewhat crisp, somewhat tender, nice sauce, with spices and seasonings, but not what I'd call Buffalo and not much coverage. These are baked, then fried, so missing a little something.went sweet chili on the next visit, and these were closer to the listed flavor and a little closer to wings that quench a wings craving.

The food was excellent, with so many different flavors and options to choose from. They have both a regular menu and seasonal specials, so there's plenty to explore.

It was pretty quiet when we visited on Sunday, so we are looking forward to returning on a busier night to see how the service holds up when the restaurant is packed. The ambiance is very nice too. There was dinner music playing at a good volume, the tables were comfortable and spaced nicely apart, and there is a bar with plenty of seating. I also tried a couple of their mocktails, and just like the food, they were full of flavor. My only complaint is that I usually order sparkling water with lemon, and they didn't have bottled sparkling water. Overall, we really enjoyed our first visit and are looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu. Definitely worth checking out!!
