Restaurants near Connecticut River Museum

La Marea is our special occasion go-to spot. We had a delightful dinner tonight celebrating my husband's retirement. As always, the food was outstanding, only surpassed by the exceptional service by ALL of the many staff taking care of us. Karen is particularly amazing and always makes our experience wonderful. We can't say say enough about how truly first class La Marea is. Cheers to all of you!!

The Griswold Inn is such a special place during the holidays. It was decorated beautifully, and the singers really made the evening very special. The service was excellent, and the food particularly good. I note that because the restaurant was definitely full, so clearly there was a lot going on in the kitchen. We come every year during the holidays, and will continue to follow this tradition. Of course we enjoy it at other times of the year as well. It is a great asset to our community. 

We often go to concerts at The Kate, which is right down the street, and we almost always dine at Liv's before the show. The food is always excellent and the service is always attentive and friendly. This last dinner was no exception, from the friendly greeting at the reception stand to the competence and attention of our server. We enjoyed the meal very much -- the kitchen's preparation of fish and seafood is a standout -- and will certainly be back.

Great place to eat before Essex Steam Train. Accommodating servers (we had many children). Good food/beer. We also were able to park at the brewery and leave our car there while taking the train. It was easy to get out following the train. Highly recommend!

The best food and service! Wish there were some light live music playing :)
