Went to the Griswold Inn Restaurant tonite with my parents for their 65th wedding anniversary. I remember it had a great reputation at one time and was a quaint, pretty restaurant at the shore with good seafood. To my dismay, their "meals" were more like appetizers....with no potatoes, no rice, no bread.....they were just food morsels in an attractive presentation....But really......for an entree...called Crab,Crab, Crab...I received one Crab Rangoon (yes, one), one half-size crab cake with a tasteless accompaniment they called mango salsa, and a few greens with some lonely crabmeat on top....and i do mean small amounts. ( for $16). I am not a big eater by anyones standards, but this was ridiculous. My husband ordered two small plates (instead of one regular plate which I had) and he received 3 small scallops (not the large ones, the small ones) in gorgonzola cheese, which was tasty, and 3 pieces of chicken on skewers, over a bed of greens. That was his meal. I am not saying that what we tasted was not tasty...some of it was....and the presentation was pretty, but really..........they can hardly call this an entree...a meal....we even had to ask if they had any bread......and then the waiter brought us some dinner rolls...i am left wondering if this restaurant is just a place to come to for a drink, conversation and a bite...(and i do mean " a bite" or 2)...but not for dinner.
