This is the second year that the team came to Rain for a group dinner.. We are always impressed in the way that they handle the group of 20. We all enjoyed the menu selection and the food. Great service and great food

Rain was recommended to us by the owners of the Copper Lantern B&B and turned out to be the perfect restaurant for our before theater dinner. Great food and impeccable service. Thank you.

Ate dinner here with two other friends. We all enjoyed our meal and the service was good. We would go back. I have also eaten lunch there a couple of times and enjoyed sitting outside.

The restaurant itself is whimsical and cozy. We had an excellent server who made some great suggestions. My husband had the fish special, and said it was the best fish he... More

My wife and I both ordered the buttermilk marinated chicken sandwiches. The breading was burnt on both. Sent them back and waited another 20 minutes. Received second order of sandwiches and again the breading... More

It was a cold, snowy day when we arrived for dinner at Rain. The food was excellent and of a type that made us want to go home and try to duplicate our selections. The service was more than satisfactory and the atmosphere had a certain excitement in the air.
