"I strongly advise against visiting this restaurant. It was completely empty when I went, which is concerning for a seafood place located in such a prime waterfront location. It’s so lacking in customers that they even let the nearby restaurant use their parking lot for valet service. This establishment used to be family-owned and a summer favorite, so it’s disheartening to see how far it has fallen. Save yourself the trouble, the money, and the risk to your stomach. Choose any other restaurant for a tasty seafood dinner."

They didn't have any of their open table reservations blocked out there was a line outside and no one explaining what was happening or even manning the host station it was a disaster. We had to go somewhere else.

The Inlet Cafe is by far one of the best places we have eaten at in a very long time. Beautiful atmosphere and scenery. The restaurant decor was outstanding as was the service, the food and staff. Paul was the perfect host. We will definitely be going back time and time again. View menu

The restaurant is relatively new, and a lot of new work needs to be done. A service could be improved. One of my guests had to send her meal back, it was the lobster roll supposed to be served on a potato roll.It was not. She ordered clams and pasta which tooth so long to get to us and we really had to leave. Ordering the drinks from the table was very slow. We hope there will be an improvement and we plan to go back.

After making a 7pm reservation on Open Table for Saturday, we drove 55 minutes only to find this restaurant did not honor reservations on weekends, in fact, the manager/owner told us he doesn’t even open his Open Table to accept reservations and he said he informed Open Table of that. I could not rate This restaurant on Open Table because we never got to eat there. Since my husband is a diabetic, we could not wait the 1-2 hours we were told it would take to get a table.

"Lovely, classy spot in Old Edward’s Inn. Service was excellent as was the food. Trout dip pimiento cheese came served with delicious and different homemade crackers. Tomato bisque was perfect on a cool day. Chicken wing special was over the top. Wings were cooked in duck fat and served with whipped blue cheese dip and veggies. Make a reservation during high season"

"Have dined here numerous times over the years and always enjoy. Recently the lunch menu could be better. We were a sizable group over the Labor Day holiday and had a nice time and good service. I recall the waiter seem to call one of the gentlemen at our table ‘pops’. Food wise the burger was extremely well done without an ask of how it should be cooked before serving. Some sandwiches were salty. All and all not worth the cost for the food sadly. The drinks were very good and the hotel venue is lovely."

"This place really turned out to be a great surprise. My fiance and I were just spending a single night in Highlands and came to Wolfgang 's just by chance. Neither one of us were all that hungry, but that changed once we tasted our first appetizer. We sat at the little, 5 person bar, and had the full attention of the bartender that night, Lexi. Now let me stop here for a moment to recognize greatness. Lexi was top notch. Her drinks were perfect. The flavor profile in her personal mixes was a delight. She was very social and all in all really added a great vibe to our night. So, thank you Lexi!! We started out with their escargot appetizer. It was so delicious, we couldn 't stop there. Next up, I can 't remember the name, but it was a mix of German foods. Sausages, potatoes, two kinds of sauerkraut, and schnitzel. It was phenomenal. Everything was so flavorful. So we had to try a little more. Next up, the lamb chop trio. Cooked to tender perfection. You can 't miss on this one. I 'm sad to say that we were actually getting full at this point and could not try any more food. The good news, I know where we will be dining the next time we are in Highlands. Forgot to mention, the chef came out a few times just to see how everyone was enjoying the food. Kudos to you chef. Thank you for the time to come and check on your work!! After I posted this, I realized I failed to compliment all the staff. Every one of the wait staff that came to the bar to get drinks for tables were all very kind and engaging. I 'm really impressed by this whole place."

"Paoletti is my favorite restaurant of all time. My husband and I have been going regularly since 2019. We have taken tons of friends and family and always had the most wonderful experience. Everyone that works there is so kind, knowledgeable, passionate about the food and wine, and fun! We love Julio and Nicole! The food is out of this world. They usually have a sommelier in house, but honestly most of the staff is just as knowledgeable. I have enjoyed most of the dishes and have never been disappointed. We've had early dinners at the bar, and late dinners in our favorite booth with our favorite people. The espresso martinis are magic!"

"I don't give 5 reviews often and not usually for a restaurant that we haven't been back to multiple times and gotten consistently outstanding food and service. However, our recent meal at Midpoint absolutely wowed us and I can't possibly give it anything less. We made early reservations for Saturday night and asked to be seated outside on their rooftop deck overlooking Main St. We were given our choice of 2 tops and as the sun went down and the breeze picked up, the staff distributed blankets and wraps to all the tables. Very cozy and charming. Immediately after we were seated, we were brought an amuse bouche: two small spoons of shrimp ceviche. It was delicate and zingy and very refreshing. Then we placed our order for the evening. Drinks: Me dirty Tito's martini with blue cheese olives. Excellent and icy cold. Him Jameson and soda with a lemon twist. He said it was the best mixed drink he's had. Food: Bang Bang Shrimp 6 crisply fried shrimp drizzled (not soaked) in a spicy bang bang sauce and served over arugula. Mussels in creamy white wine sauce. The mussels were nicely cooked and I could have eaten the sauce with a spoon. Caesar Salad to share A whole head of romaine drizzled with housemade Caesar dressing. Amazing. Churrasco Steak (him) skirt steak, chimichurri, black beans, rice, and fried plantains. He said that the beans were maybe the best thing on the plate and the plantains were perfectly tender and slightly sweet. Wild Mushroom Ravioli (me) a dozen ravioli stuffed with shitake mushrooms and served in a sherry wine butter sauce. Served with asparagus. Absolutely fantastic. The browned butter garlic sauce was swirled with sherry and it was just rich and decadent. Dessert: Boletus Mushroom sticking with the mushroom theme, we had the gorgeous mushroom dessert made of short crust, confit, mascarpone mouse, dark chocolate daquoise, chocolate mousse, and so much more. It tasted even better than it looked! Dark Roast Martini to share Espresso liqueur, Amarula, orange bitters, vodka, and coffee. Served with 3 coffee beans. So good! It was a ton of food and we lingered for over 2 hours, enjoying the food and the atmosphere. Our server, Zac, was fantastic. Friendly, personable, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, chatted with us and made suggestions for our next trip to the Highlands area. We even talked single malt Scotch with him, which was fun. It was an amazing dinner in a lovely location with fantastic service. Well worth every star."
