Chef and General
Manager James Martin, along with brothers Barry and Brian Jessurun of
The Vanilla Bean Café, opened 85 main in 2005. 85 main was created with
goal of offering fresh, quality seafood and steaks along with locally
grown produce in an atmosphere one might expect to find i
n a “big” city.
The emphasis is on freshness of ingredients and cooked-to-order menu
items. The interior of the building is completely remodeled, creating a
warm, inviting and casual dining environment. There is no need to drive
to Hartford or Providence - 85
Main offers a local quality dining experience.
The Daily
Specials menu at 85 Main
is a collaborative effort to showcase our chefs’ creative vision. We are
always looking for the best quality ingredients to fulfill this offer.
The specials are designed to complement the Main Menu with even more
innovative culinary artistry. Please check our website www.85main.com
