Introducing....Lavinia's Relaxed Dining

We FINALLY made it to Lavinia's for dinner Monday evening, and it was nothing short of fabulous. My brother and I LOVED the scallop appetizer, and my husband raved about the calamari. The veal chop was cooked just the way we like it. Nice wine list. Excellent service. All in all, perfect in every way! We definitely will return. Thank you Luke!

Went tonight for our anniversary, the calamari appetizer was great, sweet and tender! I had the fish and chips and could only finish half. Hubby had seafood casserole and the portion was good, a bit of a smokey creamy flavor, loved it.
We had a great waiter - Eric, and will definitely be back again! THANKS!

My wife and I went last night by boat. The Filet was perfect and the Seafood Caserole was excellent too. Nice wine and Christine and Brendon could not have been more gracious. Then we saw an awesome fireworks display for desert! Perfect night out in the boat with my wife cant wait to do it again!

Went tonight for the first time and was outstanding. Wife had fish tacos and I had the shepards pie. We enjoyed both and got to sit outside so services , atmosphere and food were all Great

We have visited Lavina's three times since our first visit (see post above - we liked it the first time).... we still like it alot.

We have had a variety of apps and mains and all have been very good (some include the lobster butter poached stack, calamari, fish tacos, fish and chips, sliders, lobster pot pie (only comment is the carrots in the lobster pie were a bit weird for my taste but understand the play on "pot pie"). We were at the lake last week and ended up there twice -- once with friends and once just ourselves. Tuesday night we arrived late 9:10/9:15 and was happy they were still serving.

Luke and team keep up the good work - we appreciate and are enjoying your success.

Overall we'd give it an 8.

Appetizers: Bruschetta and Scallops with Spinach Salad. Both were decent but nothing outstanding. Bruschetta could've been crispier and the scallops were a little on the cool side.

Entrees: Wild Mushroom Ravioli (pictured)-very good and flavorful. Filet (also pictured)-easily the best meal of the four. Seafood Casserole-on the small side but very tasty. Chicken Pot Pie- major disappointment. Very bland with very little chicken.

Service: Great-attentive and didn't hover.

Atmosphere: Typical New England and very clean.

We all decided we'd go back.
