I don't remember ever having a better experience in a restaurant anywhere. The food, the service, the setting all came together that only an inspired, talented, and dedicated owners could have created and have been doing for decades. Although were aware of The Sardine Factory for a long time, this was our first visit, but certainly not our last! Bravo to everyone.

This was our 4th time back to Old Fishermans Grotto. The food is superb. The staff attentive. But the overall experience is why you are there and why you come back.

Everything we had was absolutely delicious, and the server was so gracious. The building is charming and we even kind of wandered around to check out the whole thing. The liver moose toast is a must have! Only tiny bit of feedback is that I wish the first cocktail would have come out quicker than the first appetizer.
