Good Ground Tavern

The restaurant is located in the newly renovated space, Canoe Place Inn and Cottage.

First, the Setting. The Canoe Place is a very nice renovated space. We really liked the outdoor space, walking in from the back parking lot. I loved the vibe of the restaurant. The dining area is broken up into two sections (three if you want to count the two tables in the main walkway on the same level as the hostess area). The bar area is very inviting, giving a nice mix of modern and old-timey vibe (of course the restaurant setting could have added to it). There are two thing about the decore I didn't like was the round bistro tables for two placed in the corners. It would have been just as easy to fit a rectangular table, giving the diners more space. But, i understand it was a design couse. The second waa the banquet seats the line the walls of the most of the tables. Its not so much the banquets that make the seats uncomfortable but the cushion choice, i would have preffered no cushion at all.

Second. the Food. It's the Hamptoms, where I find the prices to be worse the NYC. Beware, the portions are small. If ur looking for a big meal, this isn't the place. The meal was started with a drink order. The wines are over priced. The mixed coctails are more reasonable, and pretty good. Next, the table is treated with fresh made focaccia...so good!! As well as, a dramatic show of bread sticks, which weren't as good. For the meal, the crab dip (sorry no pic), delicuous! Large chunks of crab cooked and served in a cast iron skillet with bread. The black bass (skip). I'm in the camp of when the fish skin is left on it should be crispy. The olive oil pouched bass skin was wet and soggy and very unappetizing. The fish was slightly over cooked, not terrible but verging on dry. The flank steak, which i ordered medium rare, was closer to a medium. It was a good steak, again small portion. The fries were really good.

Last, the Service. Top notch! Mayb it's because it's the slow season, but the servers were super attentive. They were prompt in filling your water glass even though they left a bottle on your table.

Good experience. Welcoming, great service and nice vibes. The food portion was small, which i didn't mind. I did have problems with over cooked proteins. Three-Stars.

Had happy hour pizza and drinks. Amazing! Great bartenders and amazing food. Sopressetta and Hot Honey pizza. Spicy Margarita on the happy hour menu is a great bargain. Great place, good vibes. Tell 'em Barsnobs sent ya!

Fantastic brunch, wonderful dinner, awesome drinks and great service. They also host great events, and have a nice cozy lounge. Love this new addition.
