October in New England doesn’t get much better than this.

Warm autumn sunshine, a little breeze, beautiful fall colors, and the kind of fresh seafood that keeps you coming back.

Our New England baked haddock with scallop stuffing and rich lobster sauce is everything we love about fall comfort food.

Who says you have to be on the coast for exceptional seafood?

Make the most of these beautiful October afternoons. Join us for outdoor dining, fresh seasonal specials, and a little New England hospitality right here in Putnam, Connecticut.

Your weekend looks pretty good from here.

One last box of summer.
We’re grateful to our friends at Lapsley Orchard for sending the final tomatoes of their harvest our way.

There’s something pretty special about getting the final harvest from a local farm we’ve worked with and trusted for years
They’ll be making their way into some of the warm, comforting food coming out of the kitchen this rainy weekend.
Local farms. Seasonal ingredients. Good food made with care. Come warm up with us at 85 Main.

When the weather turns, the kitchen changes with it.

Bolognese simmered slowly, blackfish stew, hot soups and seasonal specials made with the kind of depth and warmth you want on a cold, rainy night.

Come in, settle in and see what James and the kitchen have to warm up your soul.
