We had a wonderful experience at Hemenway’s! The cocktails were fantastic, and everything from the shrimp cocktail to the lobster and paella was absolutely delicious. The crème brûlée was the perfect way to finish the evening. A special shoutout to Danny, who was a fantastic server, attentive, personable, and made the entire experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!

I always get the turkey dinner every time. It can’t be beat. It is like MOM cooked Thanksgiving dinner. My favorite part is my server, MYRON. He is outstanding and he gets the highest grades possible. I will be back for sure.

We had a lovely time, per usual! The drinks were well mixed, the burnt bites were perfection, and our entrees were exactly what we needed. The whole team took great care of us. There’s a reason this is our favorite spot in town ♥️

An absolute gem. Worth the ride from anywhere. You order food and drinks in flights of three (for the most part). It is great being able to try something prepared three different ways and sharing with your friends and family. The drinks were all delicious and prepared in such fun and artistic way. Well worth the ride out to Putnam.
