This riverside restaurant offers a romantic, picturesque setting for dining on continental cuisine.

Flower beds dot the lush green lawns of this old gristmill on the bank of the Podunk River. Innumerable wedding pictures have been taken in front of the 30-foot fountain, waterfall and covered bridge. Inside, cozy dining areas (including two glass sun rooms) offer a warm escape from the cold.

Seafood preparation here is flawless, from the golden-crusted fried calamari to the just-smoky blackened redfish. Rich specialties include chicken breast chatelaine, medallions of chicken cooked with wine, chestnuts and pearl onions. Sunday brunch is this restaurant's busiest time. A buffet of muffins, fruit and desserts accompanies orders from the breakfast menu of egg, seafood and meat dishes.

If the weather is nice, request a table on the outdoor patio overlooking the pond.
