This characterful Hawley bistro serves broad American comfort food in a compact, tavern-like setting near the river. The French onion soup, desserts, large portions, and several hearty entrées earn strong praise, while wings and a few takeout meals have missed badly. Try: French onion soup.
This is a scenic lakeside steakhouse with a polished-but-casual feel, outdoor seating, and a lively bar scene. The kitchen can deliver excellent steaks, seafood, pasta, and desserts, yet repeated complaints about doneness, cold food, pacing, and add-on charges make it a less dependable splurge. Try: bacon-wrapped filet.
This large, modern brewery pairs a strong beer program with better-than-average pub food, from wings and burgers to pretzels and rotating specials. The atmosphere is family-friendly and appealing, but service systems and closing-time handling are recurring pain points. Try: wings.
