Very good food, an amazing historical building, all in a very cute town. We went for brunch on a Sunday. The pankakes and bacon, with a side of hashbrowns were delicious. My husband got a cheese burger which was also very good. We also got a coffee and a mimosa. We were able to walk around inside to take in the history of the inn. It was a great experience.

On Saturday, I had lunch at the Griswold Inn for the second time—but it was my first time dining inside.

The Griswold Inn has been operating continuously since June 1776, a month before the United States declared independence. The place feels like a museum, filled with artwork and historical artifacts. The walls are completely covered with pictures, and the dining area has very little natural light coming through the windows. It gave me the feeling of being in a basement, where you can’t quite tell if it’s day or night.

The food prices were comparable to most restaurants in the area.

What sets the Griswold Inn apart from many other historic inns in the state is its prime location—it’s right in the heart of a beautiful, waterfront town. Essex is charming and pedestrian-friendly, with a Main Street lined with well-preserved historic homes and shops, all on level ground.

Essex is a wonderful destination...

OMG, the band on Saturday night was sooooo good! The lead singer can belt out some tunes and the rest of them can play!!! We had lunch there and heard there was live music which, is the only place in this small town that has it!! The house cab was good and only $10 a glass so not bad. It's small but that didn't stop me from finding a little room on the floor to dance up a storm! They have outside seating as well for anyone who worried about covid! Definitely stop by this historic place when...

A CT classic. Definitely old school vibe, but warm and cozy on a cold winter's day. Sat in the tap room which is first come first serve for seating. Didn't have a long wait, and the menu had plenty of options. Had the potato bisque with chicken salad sandwich and it was excellent. Great balance of flavors! Service was quick and friendly as well. All around, great spot for lunch if you're...
