The Carlin Restaurant Tavern Inn

Finally ate here tonight and we were pleasantly surprised. We did not have reservations but we were able to snag two seats at the bar on a Monday night. We had exceptional service with great recommendations. The ambiance reminds me of the Cape and is very relaxing and blue. We wanted a light dinner so my husband and I split the lobster lettuce cups and the cod fish and chips. This resturant is pretty much completely gluten free!!! So many options!!! The lobster lettuce cups were so refreshing and bright, the lobster was cooked perfect..not even slightly chewy. The fish and chips with added bay seasoning on the fries, hit the spot and it was gf! The breading was super light and crisp and the fish was flakey. We will be back when we have more of an appetite as the raw bar was looking really good.

Pretty good! We enjoyed our first visit this week, and while it's not the top of our list, we might come back one day. It's a cool, modern/basic spot, with friendly stuff and good food options. We tried the sirloin and the fish and chips. Both dishes were pretty good. All of the gluten free options are clearly marked in the menu.

Great food and great people who treat their co-workers like family. We came in without a reservation at 7:30 on Saturday night and were able to find 2 seats at the bar. We shared the very tasty Zuppa Toscana (sausage and potato soup), shown in the photo with a halibut and green onion dip (in the background) served with sourdough or gluten free bread. Sorry, we ate the dip before the photo was taken. It was so good! The Carlin’s Raw Bar is popular, so we tried a few oysters, which were amazing. The selection changes, but I’ve included a photo of the Raw Bar menu that we ordered from. The staff was friendly and fun. It was a wonderful night out, and we will definitely go back.
