We had a late lunch that included the calamari appetizer, a burger and a brick oven pizza with prosciutto. Everything was perfectly prepared and very tasty. The burgers and pizza are among the best in the Middletown area. There were some new craft cocktails on the menu that were very well prepared and delicious. We look forward to our next visit to Lore for the Valentines special weekend menu.

At every level of staff was a great experience for wife and I. The hostess was pleasant and accommodating to our table request. The waiter was pleasant, engaging and provided great information on drinks options. The manager was present and inquisitive to our experience and if more could be done. Will certainly return and encourage family and friends to visit Lore.

We always sit at the bar with our favorite craft drink makers, Amanda and Zoe. Drinks were perfect, service was excellent and the food was very good. A wine was suggested that I never tried and I ending up buying 2 bottles.

Great food and service! Music was too loud. Could not converse with my dinner guests. Suggestion: Quiet background dinner music would be more appropriate
