    We recently enjoyed an early casual dinner at Navoo Grill in Fair Haven. And while some of the past CH reviews haven't been great; our meal was delicious. I hadn't been there in about a year and took a chance.

    We ordered fresh crab BLT's, Lobster Cobb Salad, Cheeseburgers with homemade chips and a nice selection of wine at 1/2 price (which might have been an early bird special on wine by the glass) in a lovely mission styled restaurant (no particular view out the windows, but tasteful decor inside). And if you enjoy strolling after a meal the town of Fair Haven offers a nice main street to walk.

      I have to say, I was never a huge fan of Navoo either, but went about two months ago with girlfriends and we had drinks and shared a bunch of salads and apps and it was very good. Nice to have a close place like this to count on (if it can be consistent!). Otherwise, Dish is casual by Mr. Bingley's definition, and delicious. I enjoy Teak on half price Mondays!

      Depends on your definition of 'casual', I guess, (to me that's a pair of khakis and a collared golf shirt) but I like Red a lot.

      slightly more casual is basil t's, which has very good food as well.

        So many options you need to narrow it down some. Price range? Cuisine types? Ambiance?
