Antoinette's Restaurant

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 Vegetarian options: Small menu but still had delicious vegetarian options!!

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.

CASH AND CHECK ONLY. does not accept card payments. Almost got stuck being unable to pay for lunch As others have mentioned - super messy-looking even doors sticking on sagging floors, but really amazing food made with care by the proprietor. Vegetarian options: Veggie based options available Wheelchair accessibility: NOT wheelchair accessible - steep steps up to restaurant entrance.

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!

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 are far better choices in town. Some people may be critical of Antoinette's, because the decor isn't up to their standards, but in my honest opinion John has prudently chosen to largely ignore the decor, because his food is so good that he doesn't need a gleaming facility to woo customers. Hopefully he'll be open on Memorial Day 2013, so we can celebrate my birthday there for dinner that night.

I think Paul Thomas was paid to write that review. I had no idea the place was open. It's looked terrible for years. There is a huge difference between not holding the decor as your number one priority and disrepair. The masonry is crumbling on the exterior and the interior looks like it hasn't been touched in a while. Just observations from looking at the outside of the building and through the front windows.

Antoinette's is the best and John is always a great host!

Food: 5/5
