    Always a great meal at the Engleside. So happy to have a good restaurant that’s open during the off season. Our guests from Santa Fe and LA were thrilled with their seafood. Happy holidays!

    Great food and service even with the busy holiday rush. When i booked all they had was “high top tables”, i assumed hightop bar stool’s. All the regular table reservations were booked so i selected high top. When i got there, all the tables were the same normal dining tables. It was just some were a step or two up on a higher level in the same room. The food was excellent and large servings. I will definitely return to this restaurant.

    Service was great. Don't know the name of server where we were were in bar area but she was so great. Food very salty though. Chowder very salty and I had a crab omelette but the potatoes full of salt. My mistake that I realized now is that waitress asked if any dietary restrictions. I should have said that I need low sodium diet. My mistake but the menu has so many choices it's so hard to choose. Enjoy a great restaurant

    Meghan was our original waitress in the bar area and made us feel so welcome as we were celebrating a special birthday! She put a candle on her drink and then she made an easy transition to the dining room for our dinner. She is an absolutely extraordinary employee who is a keeper! She needs to be recognized for her special customer service! Thank you so much Meghan!
