This restaurant, unfortunately, is no longer in business but a new restaurant recently opened at this location. When I have a chance to try it out I will write a review.

It is deep regret that I must inform you that Deer Island Gate Restaurant served its last meal on January 27, 2002. This popular restaurant had excellent cuisine, a great view of Bantam Lake and a staff who were attentive and caring. The owner, Deborah Griffith, told me on our last visit on January 26 that it was time to open a new chapter in their lives. She and her husband, Chris, have operated this restaurant for many years and are looking forward to a lifesytle that is less demanding. The property has been sold and will not be operated as a restaurant. This is very unfortunate as they had a very loyal clientele over the years and will be definitely missed.

Not sure where this address came from as this street is in a rural/residential area and there are no restaurants there. This restaurant, Pizza & Pasta Warehouse, was located on the Winsted Road and is no longer in business. It is now the site of Amarillo Steak & Seafood.

We have gone to J & M Restaurant many times over the years and find their food to be of good quality. Their portions are enormous and they offer daily specials such as twin lobsters for $12.95 and 32 oz. prime rib for $12.95. Unless you want to stand in line and wait it is advisable to get there early.

We have stopped at this Cracker Barrel Restaurant many times since it opened about 4 years ago. We ate here a couple of days ago and found it to be very good. My husband had a country fried steak, I had the roast beef dinner and our daughter had the chicken pot pie. Included with all dinners are freshly-baked biscuits and cornbread and two vegetables. This is real "down home cooking"! Breakfast is served all day and is delicious. Every restaurant in this chain is decorated in a similiar manner. There are antique artifacts hanging on the walls...such as farm implements, old household items and pictures of things from days gone by. Really brings back a lot of memories. Sometimes you have to wait a little while for a table but it is o.k. as it gives you time to browse in their country store gift shop which always has some interesting items.

I have dined at many of the restaurants in this restaurant group and, although they vary in atmospher and decor, they are all equal in great service and food quality. Each restaurant has an abundant salad bar and this particular site has one of the largest. My husband usually has the porterhouse steak and I have the prime rib. They are always cooked to perfection. The only thing that I don't like about this restaurant is that you have to climb stairs and it isn't very handicapped accessible.

Several weeks ago we had a wonderful dinner at The Prince Arthur Steak and Seafood House. We chose this restaurant because it was close to the motel we were staying at. Earlier in the day we had taken the ferry from Saint John, New Brunswick to Digby, Nova Scotia and I fell all the way down a flight of stairs while going down to get our car. We didn't want to venture too far for dinner because I wasn't moving too well. This proved to be an excellent choice! I had delicious Prince Edward Island mussels for an appetizer and succulent Digby scallops for an entree. The service was outstanding. The perfect ending to an otherwise terrible day!

On a recent trip to Saint John, NB we had the pleasure of dining one Saturday evening at The Church Street Steakhouse. It is located about a block from the Market Square area in the harbor area....a quick walk from our hotel. The restaurant is in an old building that has been very skillfully turned into a beautiful place to dine. We were seated on the second level but I think that there is a dining area on the ground floor. We both had delicious prime rib that was served ala carte and didn't include a salad but did include our choice of garlic mashed potatoes. The service was very attentive.

On a recent visit to Lake Winnepesaukee we dined at The Woodshed Restaurant. They had a twin-lobster special that evening and all four of us enjoyed it. It is located in an old farmhouse with an attached barn. We were seated in the upper level of the "barn" and, with the exception of the lighting being very poor, it was very comfortable. The lobsters, priced at about $23.00, were very good. We were served bread that was baked in a clay flowerpot and was excellent! We decided to have the indian pudding for dessert. The two men had the regular-sized portion and the women had the mini dessert. Both were very good.

We stopped at The Putney Inn on a recent early Sunday afternoon on our way home from New Hampshire to Connecticut. We had dined there many years ago and found it to be very good. We decided to have the prime rib and it was an excellent choice. The meal included the salad bar which was abundant with fresh vegetables, salads and several kinds of bread. Our prime rib was served over very good mashed potatoes alongside tasty seasonal vegetables. The service was topnotch. We felt very welcome there from the moment we entered until we left.

We just returned from having a wonderful meal at The Olive Tree. My husband and I both decided to try the prime rib and we weren't disappointed. It was cooked to perfection and so tender and flavorful. We began our meal with the soup of the day which was shrimp chowder, a thick hearty soup with lots of shrimp combined with just the right proportion of potatoes, celery and seasoning. My husband chose the rice pilaf which looked very good and I enjoyed the potato skins. Other choices were baked potato or pasta. Also included with the meal was a delicious fresh salad with a variety of greens, local tomatoes and other vegetables. It was topped with their own dressings. The service was super and frienly. We will definitely return here for another great meal.

We recently took my father-in-law here for breakfast. Although they do have a breakfast buffet on the week-ends, we went on a Monday holiday and weren't aware that they had extended it another day. The waitress didn't inform us and we weren't seated in that area so we didn't see it. It was only as we were leaving the restaurant that we saw the sign. We ordered off the menu and the food was very good. Our service was prompt and the prices reasonable. We intend to return soon to try the breakfast buffet.

This restaurant has been in business for many years and has had several owners. The original restaurant had a miniature golf course in the back...hence the name the Main Course. I used to take my children there to eat and play mini golf when they were young....over twenty years ago. Recently I had lunch there with my mother and found the food to be quite good. She had a salad plate that included seafood salad. I had the grilled ruben sandwich and it contained a generous amount of corned beef. A very tasty meal at a reasonable price.

Lenny & Joe's Fishtail Restaurant is famous for its excellent seafood served in abundance. It is a very busy place and I would advise you to get there very early for dinner especially on the week-ends. We almost never go there in the Summer because of the crowds. The whole fried clams are about the best that I have had anywhere and they have excellent clam chowder served in a mug.

The Log House Restaurant has been family-owned for many years and is a favorite place for people in this area to dine. It is down-home cooking. On Sunday mornings beginning at 8:00 they have a fabulous buffet with such offerings as homemade hash, eggs cooked several ways, bacon, sausage, pancakes and many, many more. Great food at a reasonable price.

Margaritas (formerly Margaritaville but the name was changed because of a lawsuit from Jimmy Buffett claiming that he had a monopoly on that name!) has been in business at this location for many years and we have always had wonderful food here. We recently took our grown daughter here for her birthday and decided to eat upstairs in the lounge. Although the food was of the same high quality it has always been, the service was very slow probably because the waitress was covering too large an area. The atmosphere in the lounge was relaxing and we enjoyed our evening there. Very good Mexican and Southwest menu.

On a recent Saturday my daughter and I decided to explore the many shops in the center of Kent and had lunch at The Villager. There were many tables outside but they were all occupied so we went inside. We didn't have to wait for a table, but they were so busy that we did wait a very long time for our orders to arrive. My daughter had a grilled vegetable sandwich which she said was quite good. I ordered a grilled ruben sandwich and found the corned beef to be very tough and hard to chew. The have an extensive breakfast and lunch menu and I intend to go back in the near future and give them another try.

We saw Boomerangs Steak House advertised in several brochures we picked up while traveling in New Brunswick and stopped to check it out on our way back from Prince Edward Island to Saint John one rainy night in September. We had THE best prime rib we have ever had any place here in the states! Wonderful meal, pleasant service and great prices, especially when you take the favorable exchange rate into consideration.

Reggie's in located right next to the City Market...a great location. We have been going to Saint John for many years and always ate breakfast in the hotel dining room. On the last trip, however, we found Reggies and this will be the place we will always have breakfast! Very friendly place....you go to the counter and order your meal, find a seat and wait for them to call your name. Great food and great prices!! The dining room is very nostalgic with a tin ceiling and walls that are covered with lots of interesting photos.

Grannan's Seafood is located in the city market complex adjacent to the harbor and the downtown area....very convenient to The Hilton where we always stay while in Saint John. Very popular restaurant....especially on Saturday evenings. We actually had prime rib here the last time but have had their seafood and it is exceptional.
