Reviews for Spinnakers are polarized, highlighting a mix of historic charm and operational inconsistency. Many guests are captivated by the spectacular 1884 building and the unique experience of staying in a historic guest house, though some note the lack of modern amenities like fridges or microwaves. In the pub, the house-made drinks, particularly the ginger ale, and the fresh clam chowder receive high praise. However, frequent diners often point to inconsistencies in food quality, with some reporting dry burgers or dishes lacking key ingredients. While some visitors enjoy the casual, historic vibe, others feel the pricing is high for the quality provided, leading to mixed opinions on whether it remains a local favorite or has become more of a tourist-focused establishment.
