Restaurants near Ira C. Allen Mansion

The restaurant at the Dorset Inn is a nice, quiet, comfortable place with great food, excellent service, and friendly staff. It's a consistent winner!

Excellent food and service as always. Fresh ingredients !

The food was great, our server was attentive and never wrote a thing down… she remembered our entire order. The ambiance was good… it was a very nice night.

We love coming here. Listening to live music, playing cribbage, good food!

What a gorgeous end-of-summer night we had at the Lake House Pub and Grill. The hostess sat us on the outdoor deck, and we got to watch a spectacular sunset during dinner. I have two teenage boys with very different palates. My youngest ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with nothing on it (chicken and bun only, with fries) and was delighted with his dish (a rare experience with a picky eater). He said the chicken was perfect, and the fries were “huge,” and possibly the best he ever had. My older son was more adventurous. He ordered the “ahoy nachos” (basically sashimi tuna with seaweed salad on fried wonton “chips.”) it looked exquisite, and he loved it. He even allowed me to try one, and it was a delicious concoction. He also ordered the lobster Mac and cheese, a hearty dish of cavatappi pasta with a generous portion of lobster meat in a creamy cheese sauce. Two thumbs up. I ordered eggplant fries (mmm…) and a honey/soy Thai inspired swordfish dish from the specials menu. The fish was cooked perfectly, so tender and juicy, with a nice char on the outside and a yummy sauce. It came on top of rice noodles with edamame, peppers and snap peas. The veggies were nice and crisp. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect night, weather-wise, or a more beautiful location. Also, all of the staff was absolutely lovely, friendly, professional, and seemed to be having a good time. They work as a team. Bravo! We will be back.
