Encore Bistro And - Dennis

Active ambience with nice bar for casual seating along with indoor and outdoor seating. Great drinks and good food and deserts.

Dinner and the service was great. Nice wine selection of wines and wanted to try more than I could possibly eat.

Boy, this place is hard to find. It’s tucked away in a parking lot off Rt. 6A. Yes, it’s annoying that they don’t take reservations and we were almost scared off by the recent terrible reviews on their service. We ventured nevertheless and we got a very good dinner with an excellent waitress. Their burrata and prosciutto toast was excellent. Salads were huge and fresh and delicious. My wife and I both got the Cape Cod...a thick cut cod with Ritz crumb topping and grilled asparagus and cous cous. It was all well balanced, super tender and delicious. The only disappointment was their dessert. Our waitress recommended their Key Lime pie. It was absolutely tasteless and had no key lime flavor at all. My wife and I looked at each other to see if the other agreed. We did....might want to take this one off the menu. Glad we made the effort to find this place though.

There were six of us dining together and we all enjoyed our meals. The restaurant offers a variety of full dishes as well as small plates. I decided to order two appetizers: one was $9 and the other was $14. The chicken dish came without any sides, while the snails were served in a delicious broth on a small plate with crostini. The French onion soup was tasty, although the broth was a bit too soft, almost as if it had pieces of wonder bread in it. It seemed like the chef used fresh baguette, which should have been slightly stale or baked longer to remove the moisture. They also have a red velvet cake on the menu. I would definitely return to this restaurant.

The amazing staff makes you feel right at home and serves up incredible food.
