The food is amazing and the energy is even better! What an amazing place for a night out. Service is always top notch. I note to first timers- Some of the tables may slant, so watch your food and drinks! Overall though, it is always a memorable and enjoyable experience at “The Gris”!

Very unique and historic local. Excellent salad and starter courses. The boneless beef ribs were more like a beef roast than rib meat, but tasty and filling.

We had dinner reservations at the Grizz for Sat at 7:30 as as we do each year when sailing to Essex. We requested to be seated in the back room, but that request was denied. It took One hour to get our drinks. One hour. That was after the waiter visiting our table 3 times and returning a final time to clarify the drink order that he had clearly messed up. Our table never received bread. When our food did arrive, two of the orders were undercooked to the point of leaving fish gelatinous. However, having waited an hour and a half for our food to arrive, we thought it best to roll the dice and eat the subpar offerings rather than wait another hour and a half to get a replacement main course. I have eaten at the Griswold many times and was completely satisfied in the past. While I expected the Grizz to be busy, I did not expect to wait an hour for drinks. The poor service was most likely due to one particular waiter, so while I hesitate to blame the Griswold as a whole, I still cannot help but reflect on the fact that they continue to allow his derelictions of duty. Especially on a busy Saturday night. A table behind us which was also serviced by this waiter had a similar experience as I heard them lamenting the length of time it took them to get their drinks as well as their meal. Next year when I sail to Essex, I will probably visit the Griswold only for drinks at the bar, if at all, and enjoy a meal elsewhere.

We always enjoy having lunch but this year we were kind of cramped into the corner behind a large table and many others when there was room in the other part of the large room. So felt a bit cramped and noisy.

Four of us had a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The menu has been updated with appealing adjustments. We especially appreciated that the note regarding a gluten free member of the party was acknowledged and a special menu was offered upon arrival. The service was great and everyone enjoyed their meals. We’ll be back!

We’ve been to The Griswold Inn and had great experiences, but last night was awful. We went with another couple, whom had never been, and will not be returning anytime in the near future. Our waiter horrible. He was very young and seemed to not have it together at all. Never mentioned his name, ordered second round of drinks which he never brought so we ended up going to the bar for our own drinks. He seemed very rushed to take our order and basically never came around after initially taking our order until delivering the check. The table next to us had a different server, who they said was also horrible. It just seemed like there were a lot of newer younger servers who did not have it together at all. Our reservations were for 7pm and they were already out of the filet mignon special, our friends both ordered their New York strips medium well and one came out as ordered and the other was medium rare at best. We’ve always loved the atmosphere at The Gris, but the food and service definitely seemed as if it’s gone down hill. I’m not one to write bad reviews, but last night’s dining experience was extremely disappointing.
