Best Cosy Restaurants in Guilford

3rd time at The Essex. Food quality is top shelf. Eat at the bar and enjoy one of the best burgers you will ever have!

Five stars is not enough for this place, Great experience with fantastic food and service. Will be going back soon. I recommend the Salmon or the Gorgonzola filet.

We have frequently chosen this restaurant for our New Year’s Day brunch and will continue to do so. Wait staff is friendly and attentive and food choices are varied and well prepared

We sat at the bar early on Christmas Eve. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We chose from the Primetime Prix Fixe menu: the shrimp cocktail had perfectly iced shrimp wit lovely cocktail sauce; the filet was expertly seasoned and cooked just right and the New York style cheesecake was delicious with lots of whipped cream and freeze dried raspberries (a very nice touch) And I’d be remiss if I didn’t say how good the cocktails were: the smoky Old Fashioned reminded me of sitting in front of a roaring fire and tasted great while my partner thoroughly enjoyed the Bananarama, which tasted like a cold version of “hot buttered rum”. It was a delightful evening and we will be returning soon! I forgot to mention the popovers that came before our meal started—they were outrageously good!

This was our first time going to Lobster Shack. The place was decorated for Christmas and what a wonderful job that was done. Made the atmosphere awesome and festive. Our server Mara was excellent. We had 2 appetizers, crab cakes and ricotta balls in a vodka sauce. They were the best we have had. Our entree's were excellent as well. Hot Lobster roll, Broiled scallops, Broiled Cod and Shrimp Florentine. We will definitely be heading back to Lobster Shack soon.
