The menu promised cheddar, but to Loring, the cheese seemed more like mozzarella. A cup of mint jelly and an orange twist garnished the plate. Tasty orange-glazed carrots and the same fine potatoes completed my dinner. Served in a pool of hot fudge sprinkled with more walnuts, with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, it was trimmed with whipped cream. This indulgence filled my sweets quota for a couple of weeks.
Diners can also choose to conclude with a spirited coffee, a dessert cocktail or a cognac.
The price includes a choice of soup du jour or salad, vegetable and potato, and a selection from eight entrees, such as baked scrod scampi and stir-fried beef over rice. We enjoyed our evening at the Wharf Tavern and look forward to returning, perhaps for one of those weeknight specials. At stop sign, with signs for Route 114 and 103, take a right. Take next left, just after the traffic light, and then a left at the next stop sign. The restaurant will be on your right.
