    Hemenway’s offers a warm welcome the moment you step in the door. Elegant but not stuffy, the dining room has beautiful views of park or the river. The menu includes thoughtful variety and the kitchen is accommodating for food sensitivities. Service is friendly and relaxed. Highly recommend.

    The remodel of interior is very nice. Our server, Teresa was excellent. Seafood was great from local waters. Main dishes were delicious along with the dessert. Great night of food, family and never felt rushed.

    Another excellent meal at Hemenways, this time for Father’s Day. The Flounder Milanese was particularly outstanding. I do have some reservation about the new dinner roll recipe. Otherwise, top notch!
