Always a nice time. The acoustic music set by Mike was great. Indulged in the pumpkin martini. Fun bringing an unfamiliar guest there to enjoy.

Ah "The Gris" always a fun place. Not know for its food but a great place for drinks and to meet friends. This has been a local hangout for many years, since 1776 in fact. We went to see The Dizzy River Band, so much fun and dancing!!!!

First time at the inn. Food was good. The vegetables were a little undercooked or may have suppose to be that way, other than that the fish was great and a big portion. The only problem I had was sitting too close to a party of 3 that talked loud the whole time basically about politics I wish we had asked to be moved 😥Would go back again tho 😊

I had the Gis Black & Tan ale, then clam chowder which IMO was a bit potato heavy but otherwise quite testy, and finally the Seared Swordfish, which was the best swordfish I have ever consumed, all for $50 including a 15% gratuity. 

Business response:

Thanks for visiting!
