Frommer's Review
Nobody doesn't like "The Gris." Rumpled, cluttered, folksy, and forever besieged by drop-in yachties, anglers, locals, and tourists, the main building dates to 1776. The atmospheric taproom started life as a schoolhouse and was moved here in 1800. There's live entertainment every night, be it a Dixieland band or just one man singing sea shanties. The colorful dining rooms are named for their displays of books, antique weapons, or marine paintings. There is a Sunday Hunt Breakfast buffet, and food in the evenings, while still hearty, has taken a turn toward the more innovative. Recent additions include a wine bar with leather furniture and a card of small plates, and wine tastings nearly every week. Viva Gris!
Facilities:
Restaurant (American); bar

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
