I went to Finz recently and found it to be a wonderful experience. The waitstaff was friendly and very helpful and attentive. We were fortunate to be seated at a window table with a beautiful view of the water and the many passing boats. I had an appetizer special that included two of the largest scallops I have ever seen-delicious. The Hawaiin swordfish with sweet potato fries was outstanding as was the baked haddock with crabmeat. Clam chowder with corn also very good. Mixed drinks are a good size and not watered down. Large bar with a number of couches in the room is good for group conversation. Plenty of outdoor tables, too. The dress is casual from tee-shirts and shorts to business casual. Finz has been added to my list of favorite restaurants.
Pros: Food, service, water view.
Cons: Parking, although there is a free lot nearby.

I get their fudge at Applebrook Farm in Broad Brook CT. It's the best fudge I've ever had, by far!!! Creamy but stiff enough, great taste. I'm trying to get Penuche, too.

Located in The Hawthorne Hotel in Historic Salem, Tavern on The Green has a small menu that includes soups, salads, pasta dishes, wraps, chicken, and pork. It is decorated like a library with winged back
chairs and a large fireplace. The windows overlook the Salem Commons which makes it ideal for sitting back and taking in the colorful leaves in the fall or the snowy park in the winter. They have the most amazing coffee and flavored liqours. Menu is reasonable priced
and staff doesn't rush you. Great for a nightcap, or to catch up and chat with a friend.

Went here for a first date recently. Staff was amazingly helpful, friendly and professional. Offered me the pick of spots for the date, including the private table in "the vault". Fairly good spot for a romantic date. Crowd was light early, but decent sized later on (11:00+) and a good age mix. We ended up not having a dinner at all, but a couple glasses of wine and relaxed on the sofas behind the hostess stand. Live music was pretty good, but wasn't too loud to make conversation difficult.
Overall, the atmosphere was great, staff was incredible and wine was good at reasonable price.
I will definately be returning to actually try the food.
Will suggest to friends.
Pros: Atmosphere, Service, Live Music

My husband and I really love this place for a great meal. The first time we went, we brought our son, and though they did their best to accomodate us, it was clear that this is really a date night kind of place.
When we ventured back without our son, we really had a great time. Both the food and the service were fantastic. We were there to have a romantic dinner and when our waitress noticed that a large (loud) party was going to be seated next to us, she asked us (before the other party was seated) if we would rather move to a quieter spot. She did a great job anticip[ating our wants and needs throughout the dinner.
The food? The food was incredible. From appetizers, to salads, to entrees to dessert... we were not let down once. I highly recommend Grapevine.
Pros: Lick your plate good food, good wine list
Cons: pricey (but worth it), not really kid friendly
