Online it says they close the kitchen on Saturdays at 9:30pm. That’s perfectly fine. We called to make sure prior to going and they said they close the kitchen at 9pm. That’s also fine your hours are your hours and as a business owner myself I respect it. After all, we show up at 8:45 and we get told they just closed the kitchen because they had a “10 top show up”. As the only gig in town to get dinner, I find it wildly unprofessional to pull a move like this. Because you had a large table show up? Good that’s the business you’re in figure it out be thankful and serve the rest of your customers like every other small business tries to do. I would have 0 problem being told I may have to wait a little longer to get my meal. Stick to your hours. Currently paying the gas station employees to microwave frozen meals for us.Food & drinks: Hours are a complete and total lie. Will turn down customers when they please.

Our first family trip to Island Pond. Driving around saw Essex Tavern, went in and happily were seated. Our server was great, very attentive and food was very good. Glad we found.

My wife and I are staying in Brighton at an airbnb to photograph fall foliage and stopped here for dinner our first night in town. The service is great and the food is not only delicious but very visually presentable. I had the steak bites and my wife had the chicken vino. The steak was very juicy, ordered medium. The chicken was flavorful and juicy too. The place was decently packed but we had no wait and were sat as soon as we walked in. So far this is our most favorite place to eat in town.

This place is a joke. Wouldn't even take a carry out order because they said they were to busy.

Very obnoxious owners. Took a whole parking lot all to themselves on the day of the parade. Selfish and greedy. And for what? Food isn’t even

My husband and I stopped for dinner here while we were visiting for the weekend. The food was very good. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We were both happy with our choices and would return again if we were in the area.
