Restaurants near Fonda House

I like to think that I have good perspective on these things. I’ve been fortunate enough to go to many Michelin Starred and New York Times Starred places in my life. So when I say Sea Smoke is an outstanding restaurant I hope that is taken seriously. Because it is.

Food was excellent, as was the service. Very kind server kept my husband's food under a warmer for him because he had an important call that kept him away from his food for a while.

Smith’s is a very good place to go for a bite to eat if you’re not looking aren’t looking for a quiet atmosphere. The atmosphere, especially in the lounge area with a fireplace and couches, is very much like an English pub. The menu is generally upscale pub food, with a nice variety of appetizers, soup/salad, sandwiches, interesting pizzas, and entrees. This time I chose the pizza with arugula and prosciutto, a very tasty combination. Others chose the hot honey chicken pizza, a marghereta pizza, a smashburger, and a soup/salad. They have a good selection of beers and cocktails too. The service was excellent, not only competent, but personable as well. Although we all enjoyed our food, the pizza crusts were a little too charred. Otherwise the rating would be 5 stars.

WOW! Loved the house made giant asparagus tortellinis with mushrooms & a beautiful white sauce. It was a special that night and I hope they have it again. I could eat that everyday. My guest had a veal dish that he was equally impressed with. I also had oysters on the half shell from ME & MA. Both very different. They managed to serve them with the oyster liquor and the best Mignotte I’ve ever tasted. I usually enjoy oysters with just a squeeze of lemon, but the mignotte was too good to pass up. Our server Skylar had great rhythm in his service and was great.

Food was very delicious. The dessert room was very nice as well. The only issue was service. We didn't get anyone coming over to get our order for anything for at least 20 minutes. Then when we were ready to leave the dessert room we had to try to track down our waiter in order to check out. If they improve their service, this would be a five star place.
