We arrived early for our reservation and we were asked if we wanted to sit right away or wait in the bar. No pressure, just a friendly question. We chose to sit and begin dinner our waitress could not have been more pleasant. Food was amazing and we had a wonderful evening with friends enjoying the atmosphere of the dining room and good friends. We would highly recommend The Griswold Inn when you are in or around the Essex area.

Five stars all around! The atmosphere was elegant and extravagant, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted amazing! We had a very large group, including a separate table for the younger guests, and everyone was wonderfully taken care of. The service was spectacular! Thomas deserves special recognition because he was truly AMAZING! Taking care of a group our size is no small task, yet he made everyone feel welcome and attended to. His attentiveness and exceptional service were a highlight of our experience. If we could give Thomas five stars of his own, we absolutely would! Management, you have a gem on your team. Thank you, Thomas, for helping make our evening so memorable!
