Cool old building with lots of exposed brick and metal but still feels kind of cozy. Our service was very good. Drinks were delicious, bread is nice. The clam chowder was good, tasty but not great. The Jumbo Clam Linguine was okay. Not bad, not good. We (3 of us) agreed it was under seasoned and a little bland. The Rockfish special was tasty.

Haven’t been to Bookbinder’s since the late 80s in Philly. Hard to beat. Great food and service and loved the ambiance. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. 5 stars. We will return.

What a magical place to dine. It is romantic, waitstaff are spot on, there is a beautiful Koi pond out back. Last, but number one, the food is divine and cooked to perfection. What a special way to celebrate my birthday!!

What an amazing find while out working my gig one day. Decided to bring Hubby for our “half anniversary” celebration and we were not disappointed. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was classy. We were immediately seated which was good being we had reservations. Our server, Melody, was extremely but not overly attentive the duration of our meal. She ensure we had what we needed when we needed it & quickly removed used dishes from our table. The owner came by and introduced himself & thanked us for choosing to celebrate at his establishment. He later sent over complimentary champagne flutes which was a very fine touch. The food was absolutely delicious. Hubby had the crab stuffed lobster & I enjoyed the crab cakes appetizer with a Cesar salad. No sides. However, the crème brûlée for dessert…chef’s kiss! Hubby also enjoyed a mighty fine old fashion for his beverage of choice. The music that flowed throughout was perfect as it was oldies but goodies and added an awesome touch to a perfect date night. Highly recommend. Worth the price. Please dress for the occasion. Enjoy!

Brought the family out for a celebratory dinner. We appreciate the accommodations they made to get us in on such a busy day! Great customer service. The food was amazing. The portions were generous and the chefs did a wonderful job with presentation and flavor. Not my first time here and definitely won't be my last.
