Latham House Tavern — Restaurant in Lyme

We have been to this restaurant 3 times. On the first couple of times the experience was a 4 star, but the last time it was a 2, so we are giving it 3 on average. We ordered 2 steak dishes amongst other things. Both steaks were ordered medium. When served, one was rare and the other totally over done and both were luke warm. Once we notified the staff, they suggested to warm up the food, which is impossible for the over cooked steak, so we gave that back because each person in the family would end up eating at a different time. The manager removed the cancelled dish from the check as if this was a favor to us, and gave us no other compensation for our spoiled family lunch. Removing a cancelled dish from the check is an obligation, not a treat. Many other places where we have been and this has happened, have graciously handled the situation with a little treat from the kitchen, or removing another dish from the check, or something else.

We "discovered" this little Gem on a Jeep ride Early this summer and what a treat it is. The drinks are good, the atmosphere is dated but not rundown/shoddy. I like that kind of thing.

We wanted to do the outdoor patio space (which is super cool) but it was borderline too cold for how we were dressed. Definately a...

Traveling far and wide, taking in all aspects of the culinary and hospitality world, and truly enjoying atmosphere has brought me to the conclusion that for this quaint town of Lyme, Latham House Tavern is as good as it gets. Excellent craft beer selection with nice traditional hand pumps give you a naustalgic feeling of the first time you visited a pub. The low lights and deep colored horseshoe bar makes you feel like you are with family and being taken care of with your best interest in mind.
