We have dined frequently at the Griswold Inn but last night was the first time we dined there with the strolling carolers. It was really quite special such a beautiful historic location to have a holiday meal with the people you love and a little bit of Christmas spirit! The short ribs, as always, were on point and delicious and I don't know you did something extra good to the mashed potatoes last night too! We also loved the oysters and the baked cod was so fresh and yummy.

We had a great night at the Griswold Inn. Love the singers! Thank you for adding a gluten free dessert to the menu - it was delicious!! (You did not have one last year and I was disappointed.) We will be back again next year.

My wife and I sat in the main fireplace room and had a lovely evening. It was quite busy because it was Christmas week but it was wonderful. The caroling quartet was absolutely charming. We loved our dinner, too!

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 loved the festive ambiance! Plus we were lucky enough to experience the Christmas carolers that are there all December. The standout food item was definitely the warm housemade potato chips—those are a must!

Someone give this place a Michelin Star right now! Our experience at the Griswold Inn for dinner was so phenomenal, I needed to return for a second time in the same week. Everything was perfect from the service, to our drinks, and each course of food that came out. Dining here is an excellent choice for your next special occasion or date night. You won’t be disappointed. A reservation is definitely a must.

We loved the festive atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. Our server, Aiden, was wonderful and friendly. We knew the restaurant was busy and he had lots of tables to handle. He was great. I had the butternut squash soup and butternut squash ravioli (both delicious)! My husband had the prime rib and enjoyed it as well. It was a relaxing night out in a quaint historic setting.

I made reservations in advance for lunch for the taproom. I did not know that it was first come first serve there so they sat us right by the men’s room. I asked them to please not sit me by the bathroom so they moved us into the other room and sat next to the ladies room. I guess when you make reservations at the Griswold Inn, they put you by the bathroom It Was very smelly sitting there and finally a table opened up that was away from the bathroom and I asked them if I could sit there and they responded. It was for another reservation. Eventually they did move us. I guess if you make reservations there they put you by the bathroom , probably won’t go back there again
