I took the train from NYC to Westbrook and waited here to be picked up at the Highliner as it is…read morereally just a train stop with no station, but the Highliner is right next door. The bartender was friendly and made me a very large aperol spritz (it came in a tall glass) and I could tell that everyone else was a local here to watch sports. Not being a local I felt a bit out of place but not in an intimidating or unwelcoming way. A fine spot to wait for a train, but not somewhere I'd probably go unless I was a local. Note: Cash Only but there is an ATM on site

A Saturday afternoon and about 6 people inside. I walked in with my service dog and was instantly…read moretold dogs were not allowed by the bartender. My dog was properly identified and wearing a vest and my sister in law informed the bartender that he was a service dog. The bartender looked right at us, rolled his eyes, made a face and shook his head. Absolutely appalling behavior not to mentioned illegal. Our group of five walked right out. Will never return.

Stopped in around 3 pm today for a "quick" drink and appetizers while out on our motorcycles. Went…read moreup to the deck and there were about 4 people sitting at bar and maybe 2 tables. Oh. Where do I start? I could start with the absolutely awful music that was playing. I'm sorry, but these 2 people have no business being on a microphone and it's hard to believe anyone would pay them to do so. I will say, in fairness, that there was only 1 bartender/server. Yes, the same person doing both...so it's obvious that there might be a wait. She took our drink orders and left us with menus. Came back with a tray of drinks, only to spill them on the ground and had to go get new ones. Finally got the drinks and the beer was not cold at all. Ordered 3 orders of wings and a wrap. How difficult is that? About 30 minutes later we get 1 order of wings and the wrap. In the meantime, 3 other tables came in and sat down. 30 minutes more, we still don't have the other 2 orders of wings and the tables that came in after us are already served and eating. Waitress never comes over to see if we need anything. When she finally does come over we explain still waiting on wings. She acted clueless as if she didn't know what was happening. We waited, stupidly, another 30 minutes and finally had to tell her we were leaving. She asked if we wanted the wings removed from the check...REALLY? No, we'd love to pay for food we didn't receive! I went downstairs and asked for a manager, of course I was told there wasn't one. But the woman there said our wings were given to another table. I don't really believe that. And even if it was true, HOW LONG does it take to make 6 wings? Please don't waste your time going to this place.

Portions were generous and everything was cooked perfectly. Mussels were large and beautiful, fish was flaky and moist. There's definitely 5 star potential here.

No IPAs is a questionable call in 2025. They had an APA that worked though. We will absolutely be back.

The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and prompt without being over-present. The menu was rife with tasty options - we went with a salad special that incorporated grapefruit and a peanut Thai dressing, a Tavern burger, a mushroom bolognese, and the house special Kentucky butter cake - each was phenomenal. Our drinks were also prepared well. The surrealist artwork all around was a subtle touch in what at first appeared to simply be a neat and tidy dining spot, just with a little more imagination than it first appeared to have. A really outstanding spot - over an hour from my home, but we'll certainly be back. Highly recommended.

Very basic. Asked for flavoring and they have more sweeter stuff: strawberry, pomegranate Food and drinks were all out quick We were specifically looking for dog friendly places online and found an ad for "Yappy hour"; dog friendly food and drinks. Although this was an ad from last year unknowingly, we were still able to get a puppy bowl for our dog (hamburger, hotdog carrots and treats). Who I'm assuming was the owner, came out, greeted us, made some small talk and was on his way. Staff were friendly and food was good.

The wrap was flavorful with cowboy caviar, avocado, and cilantro lime aioli with chicken and melted cheddar cheese. If you are in the area, it's a great spot for a quick drink and bite to eat.
