Sad. Today what was great is less so. After a number of wonderful experiences  over the last several  years, the last 2 visits were less so.   Following a decent app  of almond encrusted goat cheese, I had the veal homard. The veal was tough and the lobster chunks over cooked and dry .Wife had the special halibut which was dry and tasteless. Our waitress was difficult to find at times. Poured the first glass of wine then didn't come back except to bring order. Had to wait 15 minutes to flag her for check. We love the atmosphere  and the fresh local produce  but  likely will return for a basic chowder or apps.  SadT
Review Source:My favorite restaurant in all of Connecticut! Â Beautiful and cozy romantic restaurant upstairs, and a great pub downstairs with the same great food, but more casual. Â Loved the filet, and they have a gluten free menu which is fantastic for when my sister is visiting. Â Never had a bad experience here, and we even came back for our engagement dinner!
Review Source:Great food and cheap drinks! We were there Sunday night of Memorial Day weekend. 2 pints of local brew just over 5 bucks total. The place is small and it's kind of hard to stay out of the way when packed and waiting for a table. However, the staff was friendly and it was well worth the wait.
Review Source:This was absolutely the best restaurant I have ever been to in CT. Â It was our honeymoon and the server, Jessica, was perfect. Â Food was perfect, timing was perfect and service was perfect. Â Thank you for the best honeymoon dinner we could ever hope for. Â We will definately be back!!
Review Source:First time here for a Mother's Day dinner on a busy Saturday night. Nice old building with great character and history but the noise inside the dining room was so loud it was hard to hear our guests. We sampled many items from the menu including the special beef wellington which was pretty good. The salads were pricey and they were very stingy on the ingredients, lots of lettuce though. Service was very good. The central air ducts are positioned right over some of the tables, blowing air all night onto the table. (not really a good design for restaurant, unless you are having ice cream) My favorite part of dinner was the coconut custard which was outstanding. I will try again sometime in the winter when the fireplaces are going.
Review Source:Went here after an afternoon walking through Mystic Seaport. It was a really busy place, which always makes me happy when eating at out of town places - certainly that means good food, right?
The inside was really great. Definitely had the appeal of an old tavern. It was wooden and creaky and intimate.
My husband and I shared an appetizer of grilled mussels. They were really good. The bread crumb topping was really crunchy and savory. Â I'm a beginner mussels eater, and I enjoyed these a lot. Â After we both got lobster rolls and fries. I guess it depends on what kind of lobster roll you want, but these were plain buttered ones, not the mayonnaise kind. I was expecting mayonnaise so was a little disappointed. However, I've never had a lobster roll so I really didn't have anything to compare it to. The lobster meat was very juicy, and the chunks were pretty big. So if you are the kind that prefers a plain lobster roll, I think you would like this one. Â Fries were very good, and I had to force myself to stop eating them.
My wife and I had dinner here for her birthday. Great decor, you really feel like you are in the 1700's. We had lobster lolly pops for app, they were good but a little pricy for what you got. Dinner was great and service was top notch! Â The swordfish was great and the deserts were to die for!!!
Review Source:We ate here on a late Sunday evening. Our waitress was pleasant and friendly. Lucky for us, it was 1/2 price bottle  night which gave us the opportunity to try a CT red which was delicious and unexpected. We ordered the mussels which I was skeptical of eating because I'm not a fan of the chewy fish. These proved me wrong and shown mussels can actually be quite delicious and not scary. My date ordered the sirloin and I the scallops, which I asked for gluten-free. The scallops were large and just fell apart with a fork. Again scallops scare me because I've had bay ones that are rubbery and these were AMAZING! My date loved his steak - said it was one of the best we had. Even though one of the waitstaff fell down the stairs and sliced her hand open and there were four ambulances outside (guess there wasn't much going on in Mystic that night), our dinner was not ruined and the waitress still attentive.
Review Source:My bf and I were looking for a good spot to have lunch during our little getaway weekend. We asked a local and she immediately said Daniel Packer Inne, so we came, ate and enjoyed!
It's a little off the main street and when you walk up, the bar is kind of hidden which I liked. It's not a huge pub but you can tell it's favored by locals and those visiting the area. It's cozy and has a friendly vibe.
We split a salad and the grilled mussels (kinda like clams casino but way better). We both had the lobster crab salad wrap which was great. Wasn't filled with "filler" there was real lobster and crab meat in there.
Solid pub with great food and great beer!
Fiancee and I stopped in under a recommendation and we very happy we did. We stopped in and got a seat at the bar rather quickly. The bar is just as I would expect given the exterior, a old 1700's home of a sea Captain. Amazing atmosphere inside the bar, low ceilings, rustic bar top, stone walls and wooden beams. Absolutely stunning old American pub.
The bartender was amazing. Very knowledgeable and attentive even though they were super busy. Matt was amazing! We started with a cup of clam chowder which was amazing and perfect for a chilly winter afternoon. Paired with a few pints of Guinness I was all set. Fiancee got a nice bottle of wine recommended by the bartender which was just as good. Â Unfortunately we did not have time to stay for an entree, but drinks and apps were well enough for us and well enough for me to rate DPI (as the locals call it) with 5 stars
I guarantee that I will be back, hopefully sooner than later and will continue my review!
Short story: Great food, wonderful atmosphere, and I'll be back. A little pricey, but worth it!
Long story: Made my 1st visit here during restaurant week, and was VERY pleased with their menu (both the restaurant week menu and the regular menu). The house wine is quite nice also. The building has a wonderful mid-1800's feeling to it. I have not been to the pub, but hear great things. I will most definitely be back here again to do the pub and the restaurant again!
Like Diversity, the DPI is like an old, old, wooden ship. Sort of. Not really. But sitting inside makes you feel like you just stepped off of an old wooden ship.
A very cool pub. Solid food. I had a pumpkin bisque which was more like a warm pumpkin pie smoothie. Not bisque-y but damn delicious. Service was endearing if not a bit too much on the laid back side for me.
Listen, if it weren't for the atmosphere and the fact that everyone was friendly and nothing inherently was not good, I would have given this 3 stars and felt good about it. But I like their lazy hipster servers and I like their bar so when in Mystic, I'm coming back.
Yar.
A really small pub, a few blocks away from the main strip of restaurants & shops downtown. The staff are surprisingly young, but efficient.
I assume the place is quite popular among locals especially with the limited numbers of bars and restaurants in Mystic. The pub was only half full around nine on a weeknight, the bar seating was mainly taken.
I rarely venture into pubs, but when I do, I normally stick to pub-like foods, so we shared the calamari for our appetizer. L got a burger for his main, while I chose the fish and chips. Their calamari only consists of rings and not the squid legs which is somewhat disappointing. I always prefer calamari simply breaded and fried with sauce on the side to retain its crunchiness. Captain Daniel's version is tossed with some garlic cream sauce, so it was a bit soggy. Also, it was under-seasoned, it could've used a dash of salt. The hot pepper rings saved the dish for me, giving it the kick it desperately needed.
I told L to order a burger and it was definitely the best item of the night. I read excellent reviews for the fish & chips, but I didn't really care for them. The fries were a bit salty and they're not very crispy. The fish was just okay for me. The tartar sauce alone, reminded me of McDonald's Filet o' fish. Brings back memories... I think I'd rather have had a filet o'fish.
Overall, good for the area and it closes later than most restaurants in the vicinity. Stick to the burgers, if you're hungry.
"Some people can.
Some cannot.
This restaurant is for those who can (or at least want to).
I had just stopped by as the barwoman was holding court, surrounded by nervous adventurers in awe of the menu and drinks around us.
She is squeezing fresh orange juice, and it didn't take me long to figure out why she was in charge... her drinks an elixir that washed away our stresses and doubts. Friendly. Wise. And, I believe, in-control of the uncontrollable." Â -- J. Peterm.
Little of this is probably not untrue. Â I just like it because it is old, pubby, and the food is pretty darn good. Â Also, fewer tourists than most other Mystic joints.
Given this place a shot a number of times and while the service ranges from excellent to abysmal - I think this last weekend was possibly the last time.
For me, here is the basic pro/con list:
PRO: Gluten free menu - always a solid in my book and typically gets me so excited I can't see straight ;-)
PRO: Quaint, most of the time friendly atmosphere - it is a bit dark.
PRO/CON: Food can be WAY OVER sauced/dressed. For me this is a con - the filet I received was drenched in sauce and made me think they were trying to hide the quality of the beef. I recall looking at my plate, drenched in sauce thinking - where's the beef? However, a friend felt her lobster pasta was perfect, though to me the sauce looked heavy as well. The food is a bit dated in execution - much of it seems like from the mid to late 90's.
CON: The pub has a wait list to seat. If you are like me you're probably all like "WHAAA?" In my mind the whole purpose of a pub is to head in and seat yourself or if the place is popular (as is the case with most Mystic restaurants in the summer) wait till you can grab a spot. Well, the hubby and I waited to grab a spot once some people left. We quickly sat down laying claim to our new table. About 5 mins later a waitress came over and said there was a wait list and we'd have to move or leave - nothing formal keep in mind - just something she kept in her head. There was no sign to inform people that there was a wait list. We left - not worth it.
DPI was my sister's choice for a family dinner to celebrate her college graduation. Â We dined upstairs on a recent Saturday night with a group of 7, including several notoriously demanding seniors.
DPI did not disappoint. Â In fact, it exceeded my expectations. Â First of all, after browsing the reviews I was expecting something dark and stuffy, but the room had plenty of natural light and a relaxing atmosphere. Â
Our waitress Julia was absolutely top notch. Â She expertly attended to everyone in our group and was unfailingly polite. She showed no sign of annoyance although I am sure she was feeling it! Â The service was among the best I've experienced anywhere.
Now, on to the food.  I enjoyed a delightful cocktail, and the pear frisée salad, which was tasty, but just a teensy bit too sweet.  Choosing an entree was no contest once I saw the stuffed 1.5 lb lobster special!  It arrived stuffed with crab, scallops, and Ritz, together with a side of smashed potatoes and, of course, drawn butter.  Normally I mow down any mashed potatoes but the seafood was so filling I actually did not have room.  Others in the group enjoyed their steak and swordfish entrees.
While I was too full for a dessert of my own, I did sample my sister's raspberry lemon cheesecake, and it was to die for and had me wishing I'd left room for dessert.
We were in the area on vacation and were sort of without a solid plan but we knew if we wanted to eat in Mystic on a Saturday night without a reservation, we'd need to go early.
At 5:30, the pub already had an hour wait and so we asked about sitting upstairs. Â I wish we hadn't done that, the pub looked like more fun and offered less fussy food. Â The highlight was the bread, served with roasted garlic to spread on it. Oh wait, the grilled mussels appetizer was neck and neck with the bread as far as flavor and quality.
My entrée was a veal and lobster combo and I'll be damned if I could taste anything but rosemary.  This is a huge pet peeve of mine. The whole thing was swimming in this sauce that was like drinking a bottle of rosemary extract.  I thought about sending it back, but I was pretty full already from the bread and chowder (which was kind of gummy but had great flavor.)
Son in law had the lamb chops and declared them delicious, I tried my daughter's duck and it was tough and needed seasoning, hubby had an asparagus and black truffle pizza which looked like a pile of uncooked asparagus to me, but he said it was fine. Â
All in all, it was the most expensive meal of the trip and I don't know if I would return. Â I should mention that the service was fantastic though. Â Our waitress was that perfect balance of professional but fun, not too intrusive but there when you needed her.
Intimate little Irish pub in the basement of the restaurant! Dark decor with soft yellow lighting, and if you're really lucky, they'll have the fireplace turned on.
Very few tables, but perfect if you're into small cozy type joints. The bar is well stocked and is spacious enough relative to the size of the venue. There's a mixed crowd there, which is always fun and interesting. Some younger, some older working professionals, and some right in the middle.
Didn't eat while I was there, but the bar portion serves more pub type food compared to the restaurant upstairs. Went on a week night, so not sure how crazy it gets on the weekends.
They have live music too, which is always awesome! But if you're going with someone 1-1 and you want to catch up and chat, don't go on a night with the live music because it will be literally impossible to hear them if you sit at a table. The bar is really small, so no matter what table you sit at, you'll have to yell to hear each other. But if you're just going to sit, drink beer, and listen to music, its perfect!
DPI was recommended to me by a friend who is a local, as well as by the owner of our B&B, and I already had it bookmarked to try on my own Yelp page. So I was pretty confident about it, and I wasn't disappointed.
It's not an especially touristy place, which is good, but that also means it's slightly off the main drag. We missed the left fork and had to circle back. Parking was a little crazy, but it was a Saturday night so that's not surprising, and someone happened to be leaving just as we arrived so we lucked out with a decent spot. We were an hour early for our reservation and we went downstairs to the bar. Lots of locals, pretty casual (casual meaning Brooks Brothers shirts and jeans with Sperrys, not t-shirts and flip flops), and very crowded. Standing room only, and even then you're constantly in someone's way; we ended up getting a couple of pints of Mystic Bridge IPA and hanging out on the landing halfway up the stairs.
We were called slightly ahead of our reservation time, which is always nice, especially on a crowded Saturday night. We started out with some excellent clam chowder and a basket of bread and the roasted garlic everyone seems to love. I thought the garlic was good, not amazing. The GF had eggplant pasta, which she said was fine but nothing to rave about. I had the lemon pepper chicken - "A Daniel Packer Inne tradition", according to the menu. It's a very meat-and-potatoes dish (in fact, that's all it is, which was fine by me). A chicken breast (maybe two, it was pretty big) breaded with panko, served on a big helping of mashed potatoes. The breading was thick, almost like a coating of stuffing. Very good.
The real star of the whole evening, though, was the dessert. We split an order of xango (pronounced 'chango'): Â Banana cheesecake, wrapped in a flour tortilla, deep fried, coated with cinnamon and sugar, and drizzled with caramel sauce. As ridiculously good as it sounds, it tastes even better. The rest of the meal paled in comparison; afterward, it took us a moment to even remember what we'd had for our main course. Phenomenal.
Great place to spend a Saturday night in Mystic. We'll be back for sure.
The food is better than I expected upstairs, in the restaurant. Â The bar downstairs also serves food, but they told me the menu is different: more bar food than restaurant food. Our waiter, Matt, was outstanding. Â His wine knowledge was excellent and he attributed it to the wine course the management sends them to. Â I would expect to see a better wine list based on that information alone; there is room for improvement. Â
Our food was great. Â We started with the shrimp puttanesca appetizer, which I enjoyed even without the kalamata olives. Â I loved the roasted garlic head they put out with the bread. Â I could have eaten that with our wine and been happy! Â But the food was wonderful also.
Lastly, I enjoyed the quaint and quiet atmosphere. Â Even as the restaurant filled up, there was no din. Â It was warm and comfortable.
We checked this place out for lunch during our day trip to the boring little town of Mystic. Â Based on the Yelp reviews, this place seemed like a good choice, and it ended up being the best part of our day trip! Â
The pub is nice, but there is not a lot of seating, so we went upstairs to the restaurant. Â The restaurant is nicely decorated and has that "old, historic New England home" kind of feel to it. Â Our server was very nice but she seemed a little overwhelmed because she was the only server working in the restaurant. Â However, she did a fantastic job! Â
We started with a crock of clam chowder. It was tasty, but not very thick...it was a little too watery for me, so I would not order it again if I went back. Â On a positive note, the clams were delicious and plentiful. Â For entrees my wife had the DPI salad with local grilled Stonington sea scallops added for $10. Â Her salad was delicious, but I'm not sure that $10 is worth it for the addition of the sea scallops, although they were quite delicious. Â I had the lobster and crab salad wrap which came with hand cut fries. Â The lobster/crab salad was excellent! Â It was a little too wet and drippy, but I can excuse that because the seafood was amazing and fresh. Â The fries were good, but a little too greasy for my taste.
Overall, we really enjoyed our lunch here and would recommend it. Â Not sure if we'll be back to Mystic any time soon, or ever, but if we do back, I would eat here again.
I have never confirmed this, but I love the origin story of this tavern. The story goes that this place was used as a powder supply house during the revolutionary war, and was instrumental in supplying our army. Â That alone is the best reason ever to go here!
The bonuses are that the food is great, the table are comfortable, the place is small like a tavern out of a story book, they have a full bar, and the crowd is always social and nice. Â If you come mid day on a weekend this is a calm relaxing spot to grab a pint and read a book at the bar.
Grub Buds sought out this spot after a full day of trekking through Connecticut (Gilette castle, antique shops, and beach). We were mighty hungry and considered eating at Mystic Pizza. Glad we persevered to find this spot Grub Bud (male) remembered fondly from a previous visit.
Restaurants sits across from a low-key sea port. We ate downstairs in the pub. Grub Bud (male) would describe the atmosphere as "a dungeon, with amazing food and great beer." Grub Bud (female) liked the ship placemats and the smokey smell still in the walls from fishermen's pipes back in the day.
We ordered a clam appetizer, which we found very tasty and cooked just right. We found ourselves having to order a side of bread a la carte to dip in the buttery leftover sauce! Would have been a lot cooler if that bread was complementary. As for the fish and chips that came next...WOWEE! Some of the best these two kids have even had the pleasure of eating. And let's just note that Grub Bud (male) has been to England twice!
If you plan accordingly, a short walk back to the main strip is just enough digestion to make a little room for a Drawbridge Ice Cream cone.
This was the second place I visited with my family on our mini vacay to Mystic. Â We ate lunch here on the day we were leaving. Â We walked there from across the draw bridge, but it was a beautiful day and we didn't mind; it was probably a little more than a mile from the bridge.
It's this old seafaring building with an inn up one flight; we ate on the ground level which brings you back to those early days in a seaport town. Â Exposed brick, a huge fireplace, pictures of ships, and worn wood are the decor, bit it's authentic.
The ground floor or pub are is small just a few tables, but not cramped. Â Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Â The food was very good. Â I had the lobster and crab salad wrap which was delicious and ample. Â My wife had the lobster roll which she also said was delicious. Â My son had a burger which he said was one of his top 10 (he's 13 and considers himself somewhat of a burger aficionado).
Overall, a very satisfying experience. Â I would definitely go back!
My wife and are fans of mystic Connecticut. It is the perfect end point to a fall day of visiting local vineyards. Â In general the place to eat in Mystic, as far as we are concerned, is the Captain Daniel Packer. Â
I have been to Daniel Packer three times, and every time I've I always eaten downstairs (the pub). The food is great, the drafts are better (damn  good beer and a good selection. Including Bushmills er, I mean Magners). This is a gastropub, without the fancy decor.  The lobster roll bread is toasted and buttered, the fish and chips are freaking awesome.  The Goat Cheese appetizer was great as well. Â
The decor is perfect by the way. It is a small room complete with old fireplace. Windows, from which you can see the harbor. Â It feels like how any small quaint new england eatery should feel. Old Timbers, old fireplace, great food.
We have always shown up with our 10 month old, and he has never been an issue (though the staff doesn't fall all over themselves for him, like a few other restaurants I've been too). Â Downstairs is loud and busy, and we don't feel out of sorts (they do have high chairs). Â If you want to taste where the locals eat (not that i'm local, mind ya) Â go here.
Oh - yesterday there was a bit of a flying nat problem. Upset a couple next to us severely. Â So . . . if that bothers you, wait a few more weeks.
Very delicious. I think I had the Veal Hommard. Portion was decently sized. The taste was just right. The texture was just right, too.
I liked the atmosphere. We were seated on the top floors where it was very cozy and quiet even though the tables were filled with people. It was so quiet, I found myself whispering to my husband. The guests are probably polite; speaking in normal tones and not having to shout, and they were of an older crowd. I think the noisier people where downstairs at the bar.
Unfortunately, we couldn't use our <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> coupon because we neglected to read the conditions, which is, coupon's not accepted on Saturday dinners.
I came to the Inn for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a three course pre-fixe dinner.
The inn has a pub downstairs and the more formal dining area upstairs. We dined upstairs. We were greeted right away, though the entrance of the place is very cramped and arranged awkwardly. Stepping inside, it feels like someone's home, which was nice. The dining room was sectioned off with a small amount of tables in each section.
At any rate, the waitress was friendly and even complimented me on my attire :) She took our order and delivered the items in a good amount of time between courses. She was perfectly attentive and drinks were always filled when they were almost empty.
Now, the food. The complimentary bread was freshly baked and was good with the butter. They served an entire roasted bulb of garlic with the butter, in case you wanted to put that on your bread. I tried that too, and it was good and sweet.
Since we were already stuffed from lunch, we each got the fruit and cheese plate. It wasn't inventive, but the cheese was good and it was nice to have fresh fruit to start off.
For the main course, we both got the roast duck. It was cooked perfectly, with crisp skin and great flavor. The rice pilaf and the apple slaw was tasty. The tartness of the granny smith apples was great with the duck. The downside for us was that it was literally half a duck! It was way too much for us, but probably a good size for other diners.
For dessert, I had the turtle cheesecake. It's not what I expected. Typically, turtle means it's a plain cheesecake with nuts, chocolate, and caramel on top. DPI's was a chocolate flavored cheesecake with nuts on top and caramel on the side. It was fab. The crust was the best part. It had nuts in it and had an excellent flavor.
In all, it was a great Thanksgiving dinner that anyone away from home would be lucky to have.
Just happened upon this place and would highly suggest reservations if you plan on sitting upstairs in what I would describe as 'nice' establishment. Â
On a business trip and tried to sweet talk our way to a table with no success. Â Ended up eating at the bar downstairs and am glad we did. Â The atmosphere was wonderful, the bartender a hoot and our food tasty. Â Would I go back based on the food alone??? Â Maybe...but definitely would go back for the atmosphere. Â I wished I live near by and this could be my regular hang-out. Â It seemed like 80+% of everyone in the basement/pub was a regular. There is even a cozy fireplace for those winter months to come.
BTW - the menu is different upstairs vs. down...some carry over, but different.
Good beer selection! and a strong pour if you are so inclined
Our hotel, The Whalers Inn, recommended this restaurant for dinner. My wife and I, accompanied by our 2 month old daughter, ate here last night and were less than impressed. Â We are 30 something professionals from NYC/NJ who travel extensively and have been to restaurants throughout the world. Â The food was below average and the service was not good at all.
We arrived at 7:30 for our reservations and was seated quickly. The restaurant was probably only about 1/4 full this night which was nice. Our daughter slept the entire dinner too. Â The waiter however acted like the place was busy. He never introduced himself and I had to ask him if he was our server while he was pouring us water. Â After the second time to our table he finally took our drink order of two glasses of wine which took a while to arrive at our table.
We ordered Oysters for an appetizer and one main entree each. The oysters were excellent but only came with cocktail sauce so we had to request some horseradish. After 10 minutes we asked him if he forgot about the horseradish and he did. He finally got it to us but by now the oysters were not cold anymore since they didn't keep them on ice while served to us.
While enjoying our oysters, only about 5-10 minutes later the waiter arrives with our entrees!! Â We were in the middle of enjoying our appetizer and finally having a glass of wine when he brings out our entrees. I wanted to tell him to keep it warm in the back until we were finished with our appetizer but he just layed them on our table. I forgot to mention the bread basket which was warm but a little stale plain old white bread and very tastless garlic, with rock hard butter.
My wife had the salmon as an entree and I ordered the stuffed pork. The salmon was ok and the mashed potatoes on both meals were fresh and very good. The stuff pork was an average meal. The stuffing itself was excellent but that was it. The pork was dry and the applewood bacon surrounding it was burnt to a crisp.
I ordered coffee which was average and we did not get dessert. Â Overall I would rate the quality of the food less than average and the service poor. Â If we returned to Mystic, we would not come back here again.
DPI is awesome. Period.
Regardless of upstairs or downstairs, DPI is one of the best places to eat in the area. (And definitely the best in Mystic) The roaring fireplace, old fashioned tables, and FANTASTIC SO GOOD YOU WANT TO TACKLE SOMEONE FOOD keep me coming to this spot regularly.
I also came here for NYE and was pleasantly surprised at prices (55$) and the food selection (3 courses and dessert) They did a great job decorating, and everyone there was having a blast. I challenge anyone who has been here to find me something wrong with the spot, aside from the wait you'll have to suffer if you A) don't call ahead or B) want to be downstairs during prime mystic tourist season visiting hours.
GO TO THIS PLACE.
DPI has restored my faith in the ability of local restaurants to produce good, non-soggy nachos. the nachos are not served with pizzaz; they are predictable nachos with crisp, with the usual toppings. sometimes, that is all you need. they have a gas fireplace and their pub has a cozy Old World feel. they have good attractive-looking salads and decent, hearty fare. i also had the risotto; not the best i've ever had, but again -- decent. the price range for this place is not particularly cheap. if you were to choose between olio and DPI, i'd definitely choose the latter.
oh, and it's small. but that's not so bad.
Packing them inn...
This place is apparently a hotel, a pub and a restaurant. Â We hit the pub and enjoyed it thouroughly.
The pub is located int he basement - or ground floor depending on what side of the building you are standing on. Â Huge old beams (and a lot of newer fake ones), a big fireplace and lots of exposed stone make you feel like you are at an Inn somewhere back in the dark ages.
The bartender was a champ - and they serve up some decent brews on tap. Â We ordered some apps from the extensive pub dinner menu. Â The food was outstandingly good- I had a stuffed quail - you just don't get that anymore. Â It was just too good.
They had some music after 10 - apparently they have music every night.
Prices were decent.
Parking here and there.
My colleague wanted full-frontal Nude England so we drove here to get it during our business trip. The Inne was difficult to find and I seriously contemplated Mystic pizza on the third pass; so take a detailed map of the area.
I'm glad we did not do Mystic Pizza, as Captain Daniel steered us on course for a nice meal (I'm doubtful Julia Roberts works there anyway). The Inne has a quaint atmosphere, attentive staff and friendly patrons. The homard lobster was good but the claim chowder was disappointing. Fair price for the meal, not overly expensive but that could be my 'San Francisco Values' talking and I expensed it anyway.
One of the very best restaurants in the area. The upstairs is a bit on the expensive side, but well worth it. The atmosphere is warm, the staff is friendly, and the history of the building makes for great conversation. The cranberry salad is highly recommended, but you really can't go wrong with this menu.
The downstairs features a cheaper (but equally delicious) pub menu, friendly bartenders, and live music frequently after 9 or 10. The burgers and sweet potato fries are a well known favorite of most locals. I'm not a meat eater or an exhibitionist, yet I would happily dance naked in front of a crowd for a Packer Burger and sweet potato fries. The bartenders also supply what are suspected to be the best Car Bombs in the world. Great beers on tap as well. The only downside is that the pub is fairly small, so if you show up at a busy time, you may find yourself stuffed in a cramped corner for a few minutes while you wait.
