We reserved a private dining room for a post funeral gathering. The food was excellent, and the service was above and beyond. Everyone was so kind, considerate, and helpful throughout the entire process. Our hostess and coordinator had even read the obituary so as to know the one person she would be unable to meet in person. I was very impressed, and highly recommend this restaurant and its facilities.
My family threw my dad a surprise 70th birthday party here this past weekend and it was a roaring success. The venue is great, we had a huge private room with its own bar. The food was delicious - a buffet with Caesar salad, rolls, pasta, chicken parm, meatballs, veggies, rice, and haddock. And perhaps most importantly, the staff was amazing, helpful, and so, so kind. Especially Megan and Cheryl (sorry if I spelled your names wrong!) who were there with us from setup to breakdown and just THE BEST the entire time. Highly recommend holding your function here!!
We just had our daughter’s first birthday party up in the South room at this location. The staff members were so kind and attentive. The food was great. Our guests especially complimented the pizza and mac n’ cheese. Overall, it was a wonderful experience at a very reasonable price. We will definitely come back! Thank you!
Fun atmosphere, good food. One server was very cranky and snarky but overall a good experience and we will be back to watch MLR (rugby) games!
Mother’s Day luncheon today and first time here. Mill setting, spacious and clean. Nice views of the river. The food was good; my baked haddock was ok, the house salad was fresh and crisp, the stuffed baked potato mediocre. The others loved the steak and chicken combos. First time trying fried pickles. Didn’t expect to like them, but they were great dipped in the sauce. Service was EXCELLENT.
Held repast here after my father's service. Perfect setting. Upstairs function room just the right size. Staff was amazing. Food was great. (Go with the salmon and steak tip package, wonderful)
This place completely exceeded my expectations. I went in expecting typical bar food, but was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. We ordered: Fish & Chips – Fresh, perfectly golden and crispy, paired with house-made tartar sauce that was absolutely delicious. A true New England classic, and they nailed it. Clam Chowder – Another local staple, and once again, they did not disappoint. The only thing I wanted after finishing was more chowdaaaa. BBQ Bacon Burger – My boyfriend ordered his medium rare (he’s convinced he’s Gordon Ramsay now), and they cooked it perfectly. Great portion size, generous bacon, and all the classic toppings (lettuce, pickles, onions, and tomato) made for a seriously satisfying burger. I highly recommend this spot for a family dinner, date night, or even a casual night out with friends. One thing to note (not necessarily a negative) is that it’s tucked away from the main road—but honestly, that just adds to the hidden gem vibe. Definitely worth checking out.
We recently hosted my sister’s baby shower at this establishment, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was beyond amazing. Every staff member was friendly, attentive, and so genuinely helpful. While I was still finishing up setting up, we needed assistance bringing in a guest who uses a wheelchair. The manager Cheryl G went above and beyond by meeting them in the parking lot and personally pushing her all the way into the room and getting her settled in her chair. This thoughtful gesture allowed our guests to comfortably enjoy the event and gather gifts without needing to make multiple trips. I also want to give a special thank-you to the event coordinator, Dawn, who was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire planning process! The level of care, kindness, and professionalism shown by the entire team truly stood out. It made the day completely stress-free and even more special for our family. Absolutely wonderful staff and an exceptional experience. I would highly recommend this venue for any special occasion.
Last night was our first time here. We are in the area every couple of weeks and wanted to try a new place for dinner. We loved everything about The Establishment, the food, the atmosphere, and our waitress was great. Huge portions too!
Very family friendly vibe with screens everywhere to catch your favorite sport. The portion sizes are good, loved the clam chowder. The service even for a busy day is super quick.
