Very much a bar. The ribeye was alright. The grilled cheese (with ham) was much better. Service was very good and attentive. The space is interesting. There's like a focal bar, then peripheral food areas, then the outside deck.

Just another for one of my faves. Julie was my server yesterday. Everything was fabulous. Food always excellent and if something is wrong very rarely I must add but it is always rectified without any issues. Always fun and always greatest of great service .

Great atmosphere. Fun staff and customers alike. Plenty of tv's to watch sports. Very reasonable prices. Would absolutely return!

Love this place. It may be the most underrated bar ever. The food is awesome. The bartender has worked there over 30 years. It's safe. Clean. Salt of the earth people. Locals rule here. Great drinks, fun and food. Guaranteed good times.

First time at the monkey farm, we will be back! The food was really good, The service was awesome, the atmosphere was a bar.......I had the clam strips and the wife got the broccoli cheddar soup....both are recommended!

Despite some so-so reviews of this place I have had nothing but delicious food and great service in my two recent visits over the span of the past 3 months. The most recent visit was this past Friday. This is a cute place that is both bar and restaurant. There is also an all-season porch area where we prefer to seat as it is quieter and since it is surrounded by windows it is lighter and brighter than the more darkly lit interior. The menu is varied and includes salads, sandwiches and wraps, seafood options, grilled items, steaks and chops, pizza, and really probably something for most. On my first visit, my brother-in-law who was with us, recommended the Grilled Ahi Tuna Salad which is what I got. I liked that they asked me how I wanted my tuna cooked as I am not a fan of very rare tuna. The tuna came out medium rare which is what I asked for and tasted fresh and delicious. The salad was also great with crisp dark greens and included mandarin orange slices, craisins, avocado and a yummy dressing lightly applied. To me, nothing worse than a salad drowned in dressing. On our most recent visit I opted for the Mahi-Mahi tacos which were fantastic. The Mahi-Mahi was grilled to perfection and the accompaniments to the tacos (2 generous ones) were perfect. Again, the fish tasted fresh and clean. On both visits my husband got the Reuben sandwich which you can order with either pastrami or corned beef...he chose the pastrami. He loved it! My brother-in-law got the Ahi Tuna Salad both times...He lives near this place and that is his go-to order. There is full bar service here as well as a homemade dessert menu which we have yet to try. The place is casual, and for us, the service has been spot-on. The woman's restroom despite being a one-stall situation (dicey for a place the size that it is), was very clean on both visits. If we lived closer to Old Saybrook Connecticut (which is about two hours from us) we would be regulars.
