Dan Miller: you nimrod. Who cares about the facade? It’s what’s inside that counts. Sooo atmospheric. John the owner stood there last night and prepped my meal from scratch for 30 minutes as he chatted with me. If you need a scene this isn’t the place for you. If you want a quiet place for a very reasonably priced drink, good talk about the town, and, it turns out, a delicious home cooked meal ( see pics) then this is the place for you. Note: park in the parking lot right at the light BEFORE Antoinette’s.

Went in August 2025. Shocked. Read the reviews and thought we would give it a try. I am surprised this place is allowed to operate with the careless concern of cleanliness all around. With the amount of junk piled up throughout this building, how can it possibly ever be clean. My husband sat on something that appeared to be from the ceiling. Very dark. No lighting. But we stayed hoping to get a good meal. Maybe we caught it on a bad night. We inquired about the food. No menu. John had cod and pasta. That’s it. I was confused about his lack of enthusiasm of being there and running a business. Only two dishes? Come on now. I felt as though we were bothering him. He did not appear to want to serve us. Asked for water. When it didn’t come, I walked back to our Inn, and got water bottles

There is something to be said about food cooked with genuine love and care. That is what you will get here. It is no frills on the outside but it feels like a homecoming when your parents or grandparents would cook your favorite meal while you sit in the kitchen and chat... it's exactly that. Changing menu and fantastic food from the heart. Cash only

Rare Gem!!! But you won't know it until you taste the food. When you walk in you think it must be closed and he's moving out because there is stuff everywhere. The place is old and needs repair. The owner and only employee is in the same condition, BUT man can he cook!!! I like the finest dining I can find, but I have never had a house salad as good as this one, ever!!! All the food was prepared completely from scratch and oh my lord does he know what he's doing! The tables while extremely old, were genuine wood and as clean as can be! This place is a little shocking to walk into but I highly recommend it anyway. The fine cuisine was second to none!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Paul Thomas · May 2013

Me and my family have been patronizing Antoinette's for many years, and truly adore the restaurant. The food is always inventive, fresh and excellent. The service, which in recent years has been handled exclusively by chef/owner John Freitas, is also superlative. John is something of a local legend, avid fan of our local lacrosse scene, and an excellent example of a locally owned business chock full of character. As noted in the three categories, Decor is not an attribute John focuses upon, to his credit. John is about the food first and foremost, and creating a warm, welcoming environment for his patrons, not wasting resources on frivolous decor. The place is clean, and is serviceable, but don't expect to be wowed by a dazzling environment. If you want to eat in a pretty restaurant there
