The restaurant is located in the town's restored old hotel right near the town square. Upon entering, there's delightfully cozy seating and a candlelit interior--we were seated in the library room that contained a few intimate tables. The service was amazing. Jill is attentive yet gave us space for conversation. She recommended the tenderloin special, which paired with the blueberry gastrique and parsnip purée was a nice mashup of flavors. The soup of the day was a rich, creamy lobster bisque. My husband ordered the salmon grilled and said it was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. We ordered a dessert to share (turtle cheesecake), and they thoughtfully plated it with a starburst of whipped cream for each of us! The owners came around and checked on everyone briefly. They were very kind and hospitable. Overall, the Old Colonial Inn was a delightful experience and a hidden gem.

First, out came a lobstah roll that was absolutely delicious. Next up, angry mussels that were also super good.

Also had to try the frog legs and same, can't remember the last time I've had any that good, or really any at all since we are land locked in Indiana. It was worth the 1 hour drive and we will be back!

The restaurant itself isn't anything fancy and could be cleaner, but the food was great! And affordable too! We were most excited about the green tomatoes and they did not disappoint. My sausage was really good, cooked perfectly and juicy. My husband had buffalo tenders and fries and was satisfied. The woman at the counter was juggling a lot but was still calm and polite when taking our order. We would stop in again - especially because the menu had so many different things to try!

Very poorly managed, and awful customer service…read more We arrived, there was a short line (less than 10 people), and I could see LOTS of empty tables in the bar and outside. They don't take reservations. The group of 4 or 5 in front of us was seated promptly. There was another group of 4 or 5 behind us in line. I told them we had 10 total people, But would be happy to split into 2 tables if 5, one of 6 and another of 4, whatever was easiest for them. Was told "no, the manager says we're not taking any more large groups tonight." Again - I could see at least 15 empty tables in the bar and outside. I reiterated we'd be happy to separate into 2 groups of 5, or 4 + 6, or whatever. Hard no. I asked to speak with the manager - the greeter went back to get her and came back and said "she'll come out in a while, but Angie made it clear that no matter what you say it will be at least a 2 hour wait". Are you kidding me ...?!? Don't give them your business. Go elsewhere. They'll probably be happy you left. Terrible customer experience. I'd give them -1 stars if Yelp allowed negative stars.

I had some of their cajun pasta and calamari, both were quite small serving sizes for their price. What put me off was adding shrimp to the pasta for 5.99 only to be given exactly five pieces of shrimp. The pasta had nothing cajun about it and served on a big plate to look bigger than it is, far too big for the small table! The pasta itself was nice, however it tasted like grocery store jar alfredo sauce. And the restaurant had far too loud music for so little people there, couldn't even talk properly to the server or family despite sitting so close on a tiny table. Would not recommend

A…read morelong time ago, in my mid to late 20s era, we would order seafood boil for Father's Day so this was very nostalgic for me. I've seen the sign for Sea Shack from Route 59 and finally got to try it when my sister was visiting Naperville. I called in an order and it was ready in 15 minutes. What we ordered for 3 adults: 1 lb peeled shrimp, mild, + corn + potatoes 1 lb black mussels, mild, + corn + potatoes 1 lb clams, mild 1 corn on the side 1 sausage on the side onion rings chicken tenders and fries 2 orders of rice We had plenty of food and enough for leftovers. My favorite part might be the cajun butter sauce with white rice... even more than the seafood. I love white rice with basically any sauce. The food was fresh, the sauce was mild as requested, still flavorful and not too salty. If you order the clams on its own, no sides, the bag might seem a little small but that's just because the clam meat is so small. For takeout, your seafood will come double bagged so it was leak proof. We decided to empty the bags into bowls since we were doing family style, and it was a hearty meal. I can't comment on the ambiance since it was a takeout order, but we enjoyed our food. We'll be back!

Don't miss the clam chowder and the lobster bisque- both are ridiculously good. And if you save room for dessert, do not miss the pistachio bread pudding!

He took excellent care of us, made us feel genuinely welcome, and added a personal touch that made the entire experience even better. Great food, great hospitality, and a place that clearly cares about its guests. We'll definitely be back!

But (and you gotta read this part like a southern Baptist preacher) oh lawd the cheesecake.....mmmmm lawd CHEESECAKE!!!! Oh lawd the cheesecake came down from heaven oh and that cheesecake got on my plate....whew angels brought me that cheesecake by angels hands on a heavenly plate. Final thoughts: get the cheesecake. It's a little pricey but it's a steakhouse that feels very upscale-ish. I didn't know if I was still in west Lafayette and there is a part of the Wabash river in back which is cool except (outside of their control the waters not clear) but in a moment of majestic coincidence for some reason they only play the music outside and as soon as I stepped out to go see the river they were playing Otis Redding who is in my personal trinity of best soul/R&B singers.
