What to like - the food, wines and service. Not to like - nothing. If you do not want to sit at the table, the bar always have a listing of great small plates that are wonderful! Mussels or the lobster BLT are absolutely wonderful.

My wife and I had dinner at On the Marsh last Sunday night. The food, service & ambiance was top notch. The restaurant was very quiet allowing us to have an unrushed, quiet dinner to celebrate my wife's birthday. Patrick was our waiter (and bartender), and his service was outstanding and friendly. Since it was not busy, we had a... More

Based on online reviews we chose to celebrate our 15th anniversary here. We were greeted warmly by John and shown to the bar while we waited for a couple to finish at a very romantic table for two. As we waited we were provided with a glass of sparkling wine to toast our anniversary. Katherine the bartender was warm and... More

On The Marsh was recommended to us by the staff at the White Barn Inn and they were absolutely right about the food and atmosphere; it was exceptional. The Artisan Cheese and Meat Tray for Two was packed with local meats, cheeses and treats and the Pan-Seared Sea Scallops and Lobster as well as the Shorts Ribs were excellent. Special... More

My bride of 39 years and I dined at On The Marsh the day after Valentine's Day, and had a great dining experience. It started with complimentary glasses of a nice prosecco, thoroughly unexpected and appreciated. I had the tomato soup, which was thick and flavorful. Darling wife skipped the appetizers as she's a light eater. The chef was happy... More

The food was wonderful and flavorful. Service excellent. We sat at the bar first for a glass of wine and then on to dinner. Very enjoyable.

Absolutely stunning decor. We were there on New Year's Eve, and it was decorated beautifully for the Holidays. Fantastic, knowledgeable, and professional service. The wine list is extensive, and they are certainly deserving of their Wine Spectator awards. We had two Appetizers; Escargot, and Raw Oysters. Both dishes were perfect. My fiancee had Chilean Sea Bass, and I had the... More

We had a terrific dinner with friends during a bad winter storm. The food was amazing and we had a great time enjoying our meal while watching the snow blow sideways out the large windows.

Looking for atmosphere, great food, friendly and efficient service and good cocktails...this is the place. This our second visit and it was as good as the first. Menu selection is very good and food is top notch. In the warmer weather. You can have cocktails out in the scenic grounds. Highly recommended.

On the Marsh is a foodie's paradise. The chef produces wonderful dishes and takes tremendous pride in their preparation. We have been to this charming restaurant many times and we have always loved the food. Because there is so much effort and creativity put into the main courses, the selection is limited and there are no substitutions. The ingredients of... More
