Culinary Heritage

Alongside a continental breakfast for hotel guests, The Griswold Inn serves lunch and dinner seven days a week. Dine in one of the historic dining rooms, partake in a round of ale and sea shanties at the historic Tap Room, reserve a table for lunch with rotating à la carte brunch specials, or enjoy a selection from the award-winning wine menu at the Wine Bar.

Historic Dining

The Essex/Ward Room, The Library, The Gun Room, and The Covered Bridge Room are the four historic dining rooms serving lunch and dinner to guests at The Griswold Inn. The inn’s executive chef prepares classic American cuisine to perfection featuring fresh seafood, aged beef, and the highest quality chops and poultry. Guests can enjoy the inn’s signature dishes like potato pancakes or Clams Casino before indulging in house-made desserts. Enjoy the grand breakfast buffet or made-to-order favorites at The Hunt Brunch served every Sunday.

Wine Bar

The Wine Bar is open for dinner and features dishes designed for sharing, including tapas‑style plates and artisanal cheeses. The food is seasonal and paired with a carefully curated, award‑winning wine list.

Tap Room

Guests can expect classic pub favorites like burgers, chowders, and fresh salads at the historic tavern. The Tap Room opens in the late afternoon and is known for its signature fish n’ chips, live music, and its specialty beer on tap called Revolutionary Ale. The fresh-popped corn from the antique popcorn machine is not to be missed.
