    This was our first experience at Summer House and it was amazing! Excellent food and cocktails, fantastic service and great engagement from the greeting at the hostess station to their management team. A must try!

    We he some grilled chicken that came with an arugula salad that was súper spicy, wondering why and without being told. Fish tacos were ok, wouldn’t say great. Service as good and location too.

    The ambience and atmosphere was really nice. They were very friendly and the service was great. Our food came out quickly; our appetizer/starter came out to the table 5 minutes prior to our entrées. Wish we had more time in between. I had a chicken sandwich. The bun was bigger than the chicken and the chicken was slightly over fried for too long and a little bit dry. One of the other people at the table had fish and chips. The fish was a huge portion. I will definitely go back and try some different things on the menu. We did browse the cookie bar going out to leave. They did look delicious. If you’re interested in just getting cookies and taking out that is separate from the restaurant.

    Even though this was considered off or shoulder season, the visit was experience-focused, and attention to detail was significant. Our server was more like family, even though we had just met her. This restaurant "gets it". It's not about any one thing, but in all things that meld together for the great experience one desires when dining out.

    Our lunch was very good as usual. The cornbread appetizer is always the go to. I do not believe it to be a server issue, we finished our appetizer before my wife’s drink was delivered. Not that busy and not the usual experience.

    Slightly pricey, but the food is good. Its very difficult to hold a conversation here due to the ambience and/or interior design.
