Had dinner there with a friend before we went to the palace theater. we go there every time, it’s become a tradition. They never pressure us to rush. We have all the time that we need. We love sitting at one of the small round tables near the window because we have a little more space, are out-of-the-way and can have private conversations. we order multiple appetizers and they are phenomenal! from the bread and the cheese to the meatballs to the fries the chicken tenders and even sharing a burger, everything is delish! service is awesome.

Another wonderful meal at 80 Thoreau! I had the celery root soup & pumpkin risotto, and my husband had the steak frites. Outstanding service from Casey with a perfect wine selection guided by Andrew.

Great spot for food and drinks. The servers were dressed up for Halloween (as were we) and a good time was had by all. Tables were a little close together and it was a busy night, so the noise levels were a little high. We stayed long enough for the crowd to thin out, around 10pm. Great date night location.

Local Eatery has been and continues to be a well kept secret. Not sure why because it’s far and away one of the best restaurants in the Lakes Region. Everything is prepared and presented with expert care. There is a focus on local ingredients. The menu is always interesting and deviates in a positive way from standard fare. As an example, I ordered a Five Spice Duck Breast and my wife had a Shrimp Gnocchi dish. Both were delicious. Our craft cocktail and mocktail were perfect and our server was friendly and pretty. Five stars! Looking forward to going back.

Both my husband and I were very pleased right from entering the restaurant. Very professional staff. So nice to be greeted with a smile. So impressed with the service from the hostess to the server. The food was excellent. great wine choices. We were going to the show at Groton Hill. So glad we had the opportunity to have dinner there. Even though it will be about a 50 min ride, we most definitely return for dinner again. Kudos to the chef, pork chop were excellent and presentation and prep of scallops again, very creative.

The food was fantastic with kind folks and a nice atmosphere. We got the autumn special chicken. It was packed with flavor. I appreciated that they allowed us a small sample of a couple wines to decide on, too.

Rail Trail does an amazing job with customer service as well as offering a large variety of delicious food. We were greeted with smiles despite how incredibly busy they were, had excellent wait staff and were thanked by every team member we passed on the way out! Highly recommend for an overall great dining experience!
