"The restaurant was just right. The staff was excellent. The bed was really hard and the pillows weren’t any better. I understand they are doing renovations so I believe it will all be excellent by spring of 2027."

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed the ambience of the great old building. Only there for two nights, but we ate our meals in the Blue Pig Tavern. Food was wonderful. Ideal location right across the street from the beach. Washington Street Mall was across from the side of the building."
