Restaurant Review
This historic restaurant circa 1743, located in the heart of the Historical Community of Clinton, serves up traditional American food in a rustic country setting. It has recently been renovated to restore its 18th century atmosphere.
The ambiance is warm, cozy with old, beamed ceilings, and a fireplace.
The patrons tend to be 50+. If you get there on a busy weekend and need to wait for a table, they have a cocktail lounge to enjoy a per-dinner drink. The restaurant is especially festive during the winter months or the holiday season when the stone fireplaces are lit.
The Traditional menu execution is barely a notch above banquet quality, with an emphasis on natural & grass-fed steaks
The menu items are strict a la carte. Sides are priced seperately. Note of caution - verify cost of addition sides before ordering.
They are family friendly with a children's menu.
