The Coziest Restaurant in Every State

"Griswold Inn, opened in 1776, is the oldest continuously operating inn in the country. The dining room has a New England nautical theme with dark wood paneling, black and white photos, and bookshelves. The menu includes dark ale, lobster roll, and creamy carrot soup. The inn is perfect for a cozy meal by the fireplace." - Food & Wine Editors
