Best Casual Restaurants in Shirley

My daughter and I had dinner at Littleton‘s Tavern in the Square on a Wednesday night following a movie at the cinema just up the hill. Our server, Tennille (guessing at the spelling of her name, sorry!) was wonderful! Her smile and greeting immediately made our night - as she approached and welcomed us, she genuinely looked so happy to see us, and so happy to be there herself! What a lovely person - amazing hospitality! The food was great, too! I had the kale salad with grilled chicken and a cranberry balsamic vinaigrette. Every bite was delicious! Sometimes when a restaurant offers a side of grilled chicken with a salad it’s not so good - this was very nicely seasoned and charred. My daughter ordered the ahi tuna bowl, which she also loved! The kitchen forgot to include the aïoli, but Tennille was happy to bring it to our table afterward. The restaurant was pretty crowded, and a little loud, but our wonderful server and the great food made it a very nice experience!

An outstanding venue in downtown Groton - wonderful food, good wine list, thoughtful service.

We were a group of 10 people. We all had the Rodizio. The service was exceptional everyone was very attentive and friendly. The food was fantastic. Excellent dining experience. Will definitely be going back again

I ordered the arancini and eggplant parm. The arancini was tasty but both could have been hotter. It seemed a bit like the eggplant was assembled and reheated rather than prepared fresh. The sauce has great flavor. We had a nice evening and the meal was well paced. The restaurant was not as crowded as normal and I feel like if we were there on a Sat night things mights have been a bit tastier.
