"Lunch is great- homemade soups are super. Dinner is consistently good. Interesting wine list with good options. Lovely homemade desserts . The chocolate mousse cake is the lightest and best I have ever had; try it!"

"This was my second visit and certainly not my last. It is a fun place to have dinner as the staff is so personable and the food so good - and not terribly expensive. My advice - don't miss this gem"

"I was thrilled to have found The Putterham Grille - the food is much more elegant than its name and location imply. The food was beautifully prepared and presented - and wonderful. Everyone (vegetarians to carnivores) in our group enjoyed their food. The staff was very helpful and well-trained (I even saw a more experienced waiter quietly explaining to a newer one the subtleties of good service.) Because the restaurant is fairly noisy it is good for groups because you just blend in. I definitely plan on going back - many times!"

"Not a fancy place but definitely recommended. Greek and Italian menu does not look flashy either but the we rarely encounter grilled lamb this good. We also had tomato soup, Greek salada, and Spinich pie and all were excellent with great value."

"My friend and I had never been to this place before and now we can't wait to go back and bribg our friends. I never would have found it without my GPS but its really not that far off rTE 9. iTS IN A STRIP MALL at a rotary. However - when you open the door - a real treat awaits you. We were greeted immediately and taken to our table. Our waitress - Betty - came right over to say hello and she would be with us shortly. The place is small and was packed but the food was outstanding - everything we had was delicious. And - Betty sure made the night more fun - she had her hand on the pulse and could tell us about the wines - the dishes and the deserts. So glad to have found this restaurant - its a real gem!!!"

"The food was tasty, definitely enjoyable and had a twist of chocolate drizzle on appetizers and entree, which was odd. Must be the style. Had calamari, cranberry salad and shrimp risotto with truffle. Went on Valentine's day for dinner and it was too loud for the occasion and very crowded. The other waitress stepped on my coat :/. Service was quite slow that day for my table, they had 3 waitresses for a filled room.
Tips for improvement: would be to have more spacing between the tables so that the waitresses don't have to nudge through. That will give customers ample space to sit without bumping into the neighboring table. The interior reminded me of a mini art gallery with all the portraits on the wall and the colorful decor at the back."

"The appetizers were generous portions and quite tasty. The main we found to be mixed - my chicken was excellent but my wife had the salmon which was just okay. It should be noted there is a singer on Thursdays - we were not aware of this but it was OK. I enjoyed the evening, but maybe a bit pricey given the locale and the food."
