Stopped off for lunch on the way south. The waitress was helpful and efficient. We shared an arugula salad to start; my wife had a three cheese pasta that she raved about. I had the burger which was equally excellent. My only criticism was that the salad and pasta courses were a bit on the small side; the burger was the opposite, too large to finish. While we have only been to Beacon a couple of times, their Main Street is filled with possibilities and this restaurant has to be among the best choices. Highly recommended.

My wife and I made last minute reservations. Great little location with nice bar setup. Seating was comfortable. Our waiter Sammy was on point as well as his supporting staff. I had the pork chops with sweet potato mash, and pears. A perfect pairing. My wife had the pasta and short ribs also delicious. For drinks we had paper plane. Delicious!! We will definitely be back ! A must spot for all to try!! Enjoy!

When I I made our reservation, the site didn’t have a special menu for New Year’s, but we’ve been to this place many times. When we arrived, we were told there was a limited menu tonight. Not happy about that since the items on the menu really weren’t something we were interested. Moving on we did have a very good experience, the food was very good, and the service was excellent.. The octopus appetizer was cooked perfectly, filet mignon was excellent, and the Padilla mushroom and shrimp dish was also excellent. Thank you for an enjoyable dinner.
