What User doesn't like about The Griswold Inn:
Great atmosphere but was disappointed in the menu. Not alot to choose from. I tryed to order the cod fish and chip but instead received baked cod with fingerling potatoes. Not that great.My wife had Cobb salad that wasn't very large. Clam chowder was excellent but overpriced. Our total bill with one drink for my wife came to over 100.00 dollars. Way to much for lunch!

We had a very nice dinner there, celebrating our anniversary. The food was delicious! However, we noticed towards the end of our meal that every other table had been served a basket of rolls or bread. We never got any, and wondered if you had to ask for them. By then it was much too late in our meal to even bother. View all feedback.
