Excellent place to visit. Out standing menu of dishes. Too many choices to name. Has outdoor fire pits to get warm with. Picnic table area. Mini farm setting. Beautiful scenic views. Service was outstanding. Plenty of free parking. Price is $140.00 per person but every bit worth the price.My wife was happy,I was happy, so go get happy too. See attached photos. WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!

I first heard about The Nordic from my cousin maybe 20 years ago, and I’m happy to say the place is still going strong. If you love seafood, this is definitely a must‑try destination. The setting is gorgeous: wooded property by a lake, well‑kept grounds with hammocks, outdoor fire pits, and a relaxed vibe where you can stroll and soak it all in before or after your meal. Inside, it’s a massive all‑you‑can‑eat operation: lobster, crab, shrimp, prime rib, filet, scallops and so much more. Yes, it’s not cheap. But if you commit to the full experience, you’ll get your money’s worth. It’s for people who want the feast. The wait can be long at peak times. But they are well organized and manage the crowd really well. Follow their directions, give yourself plenty of time, and it will be part of

This place is a must if you like seafood. All you can eat buffet. Lobster, crab legs, raw oysters, raw clams cooked clams, various seafood salads, soups, bacon wrapped scallops, shrimp & scallop scampi, stuffed sole, crayfish, mussel salad, BBQ ribs, chicken wings, friend chicken, scallops, shrimp, sirloin strips, prime rib, salad bar, deserts, cakes, canolis, strawberries, cherries dipped in chocolate, cookies, ice cream bar and much much more. Everything I've had here is excellent. They aren't open everyday and close down for the winter so always check the website before planning a trip. Some days require reservations in advance. After your done eating hang out by the ponds, pet the animals or enjoy live music Saturday and Sunday nights at certain times of the year.

I’ve been waiting almost a year to visit The Nordic, and I finally got my opportunity the weekend before Halloween — and it absolutely met my expectations! At $140 per person, you truly get your money’s worth. The salad bar was super fresh, the seafood was delicious, and the variety of meats was impressive. As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of raw oysters, I was in heaven. And while I didn’t get to dive into the all-you-can-eat lobsters this time, I’m saving that for my next visit! (My boyfriend had an event later that afternoon, so I didn’t want to spend my limited time wrestling with lobster shells — I’m not the fastest at it… lol.) Oh, and did I mention the drinks? I had an apple cider mule — or something close to that — and it was absolutely to die for. The Nordic is definitely worth
