Restaurants near Monte Cristo Cottage

Our waitress Heather was just great, she was able to accommodate our requests which deviated slightly from the menu. She was even able to locate utensils for our leftover which was much appreciated. The Chicken parm was absolutely delicious! The rigatoni in vodka sauce was really good as well. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, I almost felt like I was back in Italy in a small restaurant. I would definitely go back next time I’m in town.

The presentation of the food is first class. I’m not an adventurous eater but I always find something on the menu that I like. Today I tried the filet mignon with marrow and the crisp lobster roll. The filet was done perfectly and the lobster with avocado was a taste combo I would never think to pair, but was outstanding! DJ got a little rowdy on us. The music was better suited to a dance club. Great tunes but too loud to allow dinner conversation. Service was perfection and I think we had a total of 5 waiters buzzing about like bees refilling the water glasses, asking how the meal was, etc. Just now I realize that it is a similar feeling that I get on cruises in the main dining hall. You’ve got one guy seating you, another guy getting you bread and water, another one taking drink orders, etc. Very attentive but not intrusive. The prices are high, as one would expect from a fine dining establishment, but probably worth it, based on the quality of the food and the visible effort that had to have gone into it. I would consider this restaurant any time I was celebrating something special.

Our party of 10 was very pleased with drinks, food and service. The salmon meals, fried Fishermans platter, salads, chowder, and fried calamari were all excellent. Prices were in line with today's prices. Our servers were attentive and very friendly and we never felt rushed. We all would recommend this restaurant highly!

The place has delicious food!! The service is superb and with attentive staffing. I selected 3 stars for the ambiance bc it can be drafty, we played musical chairs to settle into a cozy spot. The bar gives decent pours together with a serving of chocolate torte for dessert! I highly recommend trying this place out. 💫

Very creative menu for brunch! Drinks were spectacular! Service from staff was outstanding!
