The pastrami sandwich was very fine, second only to the Second Avenue Deli in Manhattan. The Admiral steak very good- very generous- couldn't finish it, the Caesar salad romaine crunchy fresh.

The inside is spacious and was fairly quiet, with soft classic music in the background. Upon being seated, I was immediately greeted by my friendly server and ordered a drink. The sushi looked great, but I decided to start with the chicken lettuce wraps. It was very messy to eat, but that's expected. It's just basic iceberg lettuce with sauced chicken and veggies, and it was very flavorful!! I also went with the basic chicken pad thai. It was decent, but not the best I've ever had as far as flavor, and it could have had more peanuts. Overall, I'd recommend coming here for the sushi based on the reviews! The service was also 10/10.

Plenty of parking but stay alert for the turn off Rt. 302 and up the hill. The food: ample, too much, I couldn't finish it - the three-egg hash omelette a 9/10. The fresh greens side with balsamic, a 10/10, and the "Texas toast" very good, but too much. It is 20-25 minutes from home in Windham. I'll go back with my wife; she will love the drive.

The sushi stand in the front. We were greeted at the bar and given water and menus right away. Loved the prompt service, the ambiance, the art on the walls. Enough lighting for a restaurant/bar. The menu was interesting and had sushi, fish, a wagyu burger, some really fun drinks and more. We split some dumplings, a roll, and got individual meals. We got our dumplings rather quickly but then waited an hour for the rest of our food. It was really busy, and they had staff, but I feel like it would not ever normally be this busy. But they were so nice about it. And we were not in a rush, so it works out just fine. Our roll was off - and it turned out we got the wrong one. But they were apologetic and again it was really busy. But when the entre came out - wow. I got a Ongiri with Haddock and some crispy onions on top - it was fantastic. My husband had a bowl of ramen that he said needed a little salt. But it was good, service as fantastic, and I would definitely want to come back when they are not busy to try the food and service again. I am sure it will be great.

The Sunrise Shack is hands down our favorite breakfast spot in the North Country. We've been to a…read morefew other good places in the Valley area, but this is the one we always find ourselves coming back to. The place is very small and because of that you have to check in at a small window before going inside. It can get very busy and always go mid week for that reason. What the Sunrise Shack lacks in size it more than makes up for with its personality and, of course, its yummy food. It's small yet cozy and homey. The staff is always welcoming and cheerful. And perhaps most importantly, the breakfast always hits the spot. During our most recent visit my boyfriend got blueberry pancakes and I got biscuits and gravy, which I had once before and had a hankering for it again. It was just as hearty and delicious as I remembered it from the last time. The blueberry pancakes were very yummy too. As a side note, if you ask for hot sauce with your meal they have a variety bucket for the table, which is a nice little bonus for hot sauce fiends such as myself. Whether you want your breakfast to be healthy or hearty, or whether you're filling up before going on a rigorous hike or going shopping in the North Conway town center, you simply can't go wrong with The Sunrise Shack.

I've wanted to try out their breakfast for a long time and now I finally did. Going for brunch on a Friday was a great idea even for a summer weekend. We got there a little after 11am and we were famished. My husband ordered their vegetable omelette with a side of bacon. I chose the Jim's Heartburner omelette which had chorizo, tomatoes, red onions and banana peppers in it. Both were delicious but I wish the omelettes were fluffier instead of being overdone. Home fries were decent. Service is friendly and excellent. Prices were just right. There's plenty of parking which is appreciated. Coffee was better than most breakfast places which is certainly something I notice.

She gave us some great wine recommendations and checked in throughout the night without ever being overbearing. Cocktails were on point too -- Sue and Brad clearly have it dialed in. I had the seared ahi tuna, and it was honestly one of the best I've ever had. Our friends had the Tuscan chicken special over rice, the ribs, and the steak. Everything was excellent. Bridgton is lucky to have a place like Black Horse Tavern. They've been doing this for decades, and it shows -- great food, great drinks, great service, and people who know how to run a restaurant. We had a great night and will definitely be back.

When seated I had no problem that I wasn't seen until 5 minutes passed, or that I was not handed a drink menu until I asked for one. What I do have a problem with however is being treated differently to other patrons for no apparent reason. Visiting this town as a person of Latino descent has been a joy so far but at the Black Horse Tavern I finally understood why I was warned about coming to Bridgton. After the hostess sat us down, we waited about 5 minutes to see hour waitress, as she approached our table she immediately asked if we wanted drinks or appetizers, my boyfriend asked for a drink menu which seemed to bother her. After receiving the drink menu we waited another 5 minutes to then be met with another waitress because our original one passed us off to someone else who ended up taking our drink and entree orders. The original waitress did eventually return with our said beverages she slammed them down in front of my boyfriend and I. The only reason I know the waitress's name is Shannon is because I heard her greet another table and because it was on my receipt. We carried on and made the best of our situation as we enjoyed what we could of our dinner but even as she returned with the bill, she slammed it in front of my boyfriend yet again and continued having pleasant conversations with another group of people. As we left we didn't even get a "thanks for coming" or a "goodnight" as we left the restaurant.
