Had the ravioli with chicken, the ravioli was delicious but the chicken was rubbery and flavorless. Tough to even cut the chicken.

Dining experience was good, started off with ? wine, although the waitress wasn't exactly sure on most things but she was 18-20 yrs old since so I give her credit for not knowing...had calamari with some strange creamy sauce, not sure about the sauce but calamari was good, had pork chop with mashed potatoes, green beans with a butternut squash sauce (maybe) at the bottom, whatever it was, hit the spot!

Comfy, cosy 1800s building repurposed to a family ran restaurant. Avaried selection of foods that were tasty and well prepared. Full service bar available.

Our waitress was new or appeared to be. She messed up two cheeseburgers, then forgot to put onion on one and then brought a piece of cold cheese out for one of the cheeseburgers that was after 10 minutes we have eaten here before, and a boy's been pleased. This was one of the few times, the service wasn't good more than one level not sure if I'll go back unless they learn how to train their waitresses better

Stopped in for appetizers and a brew before a hockey game. I have always enjoyed this place for its atmosphere and food. The maple mustard with the soft pretzels sticks is very tasty. The salmon bruschetta was also a hit. We ate in the bar and had a very engaging conversation with the bar tender.

It is a gem. Ask to be seated at the porch. Start with Sierra Nevada hop magnum and finish with apple crisp.

Old histortic building with great food!

We had a reservation booked in advance for 4. Seated at a table with the sun glaring on us. Had to wait 15 minutes to see a server. Asked to please move to a table that did not have sun shining right on our faces. No blinds or curtains to help with shade. Were huffily Moved to another sun glaring table while over half the restaurant inside was empty. Asked to please sit somewhere else. We were told “oh sorry can't , Sorry you are leaving, Oh well. “ Will not be going back! Unbelievably poor substandard customer service from server and management. Restaurant never the same after the pandemic lockouts.

We were looking forward to dining at Duffy's because we were in town to celebrate a birthday. Our meals were average -crabcakes were decent but the rice was cold (not even warm). The Sweet Potato Gnocchi was also just ok. Our mixed drinks were very heavy on the alcohol. Bread/water served to our table would have been nice to have (our server forgot?-not a big deal). We appreciated the candle on the dessert and our server genuinely tried. We'll continue to come back, but most likely it will only be for lunch. -this is our honest opinion of a place we love.

Dined in first time last night and it was during Valentine's Day. Where they sat us at was infront of an unused fireplace with a light inside, all you felt was the cold draft. I don't know why they couldn't sit us somewhere else there were plenty of other tables open especially by the real fireplaces. Our waiter was good no issues there but when you pay $30 for salmon I don't expect it to not flake and still be bright orange in the middle and sent it back to be cooked and then my plate comes back and my mashed potatoes were slightly cold not warm or hot. To be honest I should of been given a new plate at least of everything every restaurant I've previously been to has treated it in that way when The food isn't cooked the first time. I know a lot about salmon and how it should look it shouldnt be 2 colors. I had to watch my husband eat for about 9 minutes on Valentine's day we drove over an hour distance. My husbands ravioli marinara with chicken was more than my salmon meal he said the chicken was a very small portion size. The flower was nice that they gave you and our waiter did Apologize but my experience it needs to be more than that from experience at other restaurants I wont list the names but they've always made it right.

Our server was very busy with a lot of tables, including one large party of 10, and did a terrific job making us feel like a priority during our visit. Our food was delivered quickly and was hot.

My wife and I normally have a great experience at Duffy's. Their wings are incredible, and the atmosphere is really neat and cozy. It was very busy inside as it was a Saturday night and it was to be expected that we would have a little longer wait. No problem. Our wings this time did not disappoint. Very crispy and flavorful. Perfectly cooked! Then our entrees came out and they looked fantastic. I got the Duffy burger and my wife got the crab cake sandwich. We both got fries as a side. The fries were great! Crispy and very well seasoned. But as we bit into our sandwiches, we were quite disappointed to find that neither my burger or my wife's crab cake sandwich were very well seasoned. It was almost as if they had forgot the salt entirely. My burger unfortunately was bland and had a very soggy bun. Even the caramelized onions on top seemed bland. I would say this is a fluke, but I have gotten the burger multiple times and each time it seemed to be charred, poorly seasoned, and on a rather soggy bun. For a burger named after the restaurant, I had really hoped for a much higher quality and experience. I will still continue to go to Duffy's as it is still a great spot to eat out for date night, anniversary, etc.. And there other food is amazing. But I will not be ordering the Duffy burger anymore.

I was overall disappointed with the food and atmosphere. Young child screaming through most of our dinner. Obviously, not your fault but the sound echos through the room making it worse. We were expecting more overall. I would probably not go back. Our waitress was the best part...very pleasant and helpful. Just being honest...not hurtful.

Our waitress was absolutely wonderful!! So on top of her game regardless that as the evening went on and she got very busy on Valentine's Day - night she was pleasant, professional and so pleasant!! Thank you!!

Always fantastic food, great service from the bar to the table. Burgers are especially good, and the wings, the soup. Oh and the ?!
