    Lemon ricotta donuts
    Ian B.

    I give a place a few shakes before I rate them unless they really stink then I come running to warn people. This place really is a toss up whether it will be good or not. I've had great meals here, bad meals, great service, bad service. All over the place. This was my gf's favorite spot up until the beginning of this year. We've come for brunch, lunch and dinner. Prices are always pretty high. I don't mind paying if things stay consistent. Well anyway last night was the tipping point. Went to see Burnt Mills Highballers after seeing them at local brewery. Sat down for date night, ordered octopus, burrata and lobster, crab egg rolls. Octopus was burnt, so hungry ate it anyway, didn't ask for a refund like a jerk. Honestly burrata was great on the little pieces of toast. Then the beer I wanted a refill on was tapped but it took forever to let me know it wasn't coming so I asked to cancel it. He still brought it to me and charged me for it. Then the final piece, the dessert. Ordered the donuts and they came out flat. Waiter dropped them and ran cause he knew it was terrible. Hate that this place isn't consistent. Prices should match the service and food. Also don't charge the band for drinks. That was incredibly wild to me seeing them get a check for drinks in the middle of a set. Wtf?

    pulled pork sandwich

    stopped in for lunch, sat outside and it was so nice! The staff is super friendly and the restaurant itself has a great atmosphere. We got the wings with the BBQ sauce as an app (not pictured) and they were amazing! They make the whiskey BBQ in house and it was the best BBQ sauce we've ever had! For lunch I had the beet and goat cheese salad and it was PHENOMENAL! the fried goat cheese balls were so good, I could've eaten those on their own! My boyfriend had the pulled pork sandwich and said it was one of the best sandwiches he's ever had!! Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend and we will be back!

    Stoped here for a beer and had the Cuban sandwich 19 bucks (although there site menu says 16 ? Smallest and thinnest amount of meat I have had on a sandwich. Basically bread left hungry wont return. I've been here in the past, I've always enjoyed , so like others say hit or miss my wife had something else which was ok at best, house wine is expensive and very very small pours

    After two visits to this spot, and holding out hope because of the location, I can't say this is a spot worth stopping at. Both times we have had beers that have a funky taste, as if the taps are not being cleaned regularly. The mixed drinks are sugary and are highly priced. The food is overpriced. The dishes are overall poorly crafted and prepared, some of our food came out cold & are generally smaller portions. Our soup was cold on the first visit. My most recent dish, the pork pappardelle, had whole, uncut peppers intermixed with the noodles. The pork was stringy and overcooked. The location is great, which has inspired both of our attempts to dine here, but each time we leave we are left feeling very disappointed and a little jipped.

    The ambiance is incredible. A glowing fireplace on a chilly November day. The building was very cool. A very old place completely redone. The menu is small. My husband thinks there are too many burgers to choose from where other food items could replace. Saying that, he got the jalapeño burger and it was too large to bite into. It was one large pepper (which was breaded and deep fried) sliced in half and placed on top of the meat. He asked for it well done, it was medium well. He did say that the bun was great. I had the pub pierogies which were fantastic. I have never had pierogies with green onion, sautéed onions and apple purée with sour cream (I'm Polish), it was fabulous! Service was on point. A very clean establishment. We will definitely return for dinner!

    Great food, cool atmosphere, vibey staff, and beautiful view. I ate with three other diners and we all enjoyed it!

    Beautifully cooked steak, amazing béarnaise and great fries

    My aunt and uncle were visiting from CA, and I wanted to take them somewhere special that I felt embodied this region in both ambiance and food. The Narrows delivers just that. To start, you will inevitably arrive to the restaurant by way of a gorgeous, scenic drive. You'll be taken aback by this historic building and the water gap right across the street. The building feels old and soulful, but it's also beautifully renovated and has a bustling bar (with inventive craft cocktails). The service is what you'd expect at a place like this-- warm. I loved our waitress. The food? All excellent and at prices that feel right for what you get. The fish and chips took my breath away; the burger was "the best burger" according to my dad, and the steak frites were like something you'd get in a Parisian bistro, but without all the pretense. All of the food is stuff you want to eat, but just elevated. And most importantly, you don't get the feeling The Narrows is trying to hard. It's just a damn good restaurant all around. I love the Narrows so much I felt compelled to break my review writing dry spell. I cannot wait to come back.

    We love this hidden gem along the river! The service is aways 10/10, along with the food. The best part is that the outside is dog friendly. Brooke, our server, is always so accommodating and kind. The food is exceptional, especially the salmon, steak, and tuna poke, and lamb meatballs.

    Special place. Food is awesome. Get the pork chops. Fried chicken is amazing. Crab dip appetizer is amazing.

I learned later that this restaurant has been around since the early to mid 1900's. Plenty of parking in a large open lot. The place is very large and has one of the longest bars I've seen. The wood is very dark and you can see the chefs cooking over the hearth. They don't take reservations and won't see you until your entire party is there. One of the things I liked for our party of 10 was they had no problems with seating as they also have many large round tables. For mixed drinks, they make them pretty big and potent. For my martini, they sent back an extra glass. They also had great bleu cheese stuffed olives. We ordered onion rings (8 large to an order) and fried zucchini. The onion ring I had was pretty good. I didn't have the fried zucchini but heard it was also pretty good. Other than the light fare items, all dinners come with their salad bar which has both iceberg lettuce and Caesar Salad along with many fixings as well as cheeses and bread. I had the Baked Seafood Platter which came with scallops, shrimp, Clam Casino (without the shell), Maryland crab cake and a small lobster tail for $49.99. My wife had the baked chicken breast which she said was quite dry. The dining area is quite large and reminds me of the restaurants at a casino. Some in our group said it reminds them of Medieval Times due to the dark wood vibe. While I thought it was a bit pricey, I would still come back and try their signature steaks or prime rib.

The hostess was very sweet and engaging, and offered us a great table on the porch. We started with cocktails; French Chardonnay for my wife, and Charred Heat for me. Both absolutely fantastic. The Isla Escargot was a delicious combination of chorizo and escargot. On to the entrees; Brisket, Cornbread and Coleslaw for my wife, and Barn and Sea for me. My dish of a pork chop with Boursin and crab over garlic mashed potatoes was absolutely divine. Finally, our Server, Chris, was truly a pro. The perfect blend of attentiveness and polite conversation. It's a must do when you find yourself in the area, and we cannot wait to go back!

I ordered $30 Lobster stew, described as scalded cream with 4 ounces of lobster meat. The small bowl of liquid had neither the taste not the texture of scalded cream (seeming more like cornstarch) , tasing of salt with salt and more salt. No butter, no spices, no veggies The randomly mutilated pieces of lobster were flavorless and chewy. Last time I was here I ordered what was described as spicy chili with tropical ingredients, but it was barely reheated, massively overcooked dry, bland paste. Does this place depend on people not knowing how stuff should be?

    This place had some high hopes for me and then it dropped the ball…read more We were there on Saturday night. July 5th, 2025. The place was quiet when we got there. It was a late dinner. Probably about 8 or so. The ambience was a cool bar and grill with two pool tables and ample seating. I will just break it down by pros and cons. Pros. Quick seating, decent menu, the house salad I got (sadly not photographed) was a healthy size. Good amount of wings for what it was. Cons. Waitress immediately forgot my fiancées order and had to come back to ask it again (which would be fine if for one other thing). All food came out in the weirdest order. First came my chicken wings then her soup. Then her carb cake appetizer and then, finally my house salad that I had to call her over to remind her of. Overall, food was ok but nothing wowed. The size of the house salad was the most impressive thing. Crab cake was ok but a lot of bread, salad was ok but the thousand island dressing was not good. The French onion soup was ok but it wasn't seasoned well. And the wings were good but small and could have used more sauce. The biggest complaint is the bill. It seems like they charged us for tax on each item even before adding the tax. 6.23 for French onion? 12.46 for one crab cake? BEFORE TAX????? Sorry these were not the prices in the menu when we ordered. I would never go back here for that shady practice alone. This is a one and done.
