New American Restaurants near Bethel, CT

“My husband and I tried Bora Restaurant for the first time last night. It was excellent!! The food was delicious, the decorations were beautiful, the atmosphere was warm and cozy, all of the staff that we encountered were young but surprisingly all so very well mannered, polite and very nice!! Our waiter was Alton, he did a wonderful job and always addressed my husband as Sir. We would definitely recommend this restaurant!!“

“Wonderful atmosphere, very pleasant staff and great food!“

“Loved the food and the anjo old fashion made by the amazing and very personable bartender Javier. Stopped in on a Sunday and left smiling. What a beautiful location and atmosphere. Will definitely be back because the bartender was so lovely. I meant what I said, great service, and great food deserves recognition.

Vegetarian options: The cauliflower wings and falafel was incredible!“

“Food was absolutely delicious (best fried calamari I've ever had!), our waitress was fantastic & the owner was a doll. Excited to go back soon!“

“One of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality and service was perfect. The hostess, server and support staff were all so friendly and yet unobtrusive. The food was top notch all around. We sat outside, which was nice, but the inside looks really comfortable and cozy too. Looking forward to visiting again in the winter.“

“Food was great and the service was even better. The baby gem salad was delicious, the brussel sprouts were perfectly crispy, and the addition of the gorgonzola took them to a new level. Our steak was juicy, flavorful and cooked to medium rare as we asked. Definitely will return.“

“Wonderful service and atmosphere!“

“Great little New England cottage restaurant with a nice patio and bar. Food was good and the staff was accommodating and very friendly. They even gave us a "Black Cat" bottle of Riesling to remember the place by. Overall awesome place for lunch or dinner.“

“Incredible rib eye flat bread sandwich and the best crepe dessert ever!“

“Loved the outdoor deck if only I84 wasn't so close as there was a bit of road noise. Food was great - American Bistro with Mexican dishes. Burgers were too large and cooked perfectly. I appreciate the local CT microbrews. Fun place to have lunch or dinner!“

“Manager very nice. Staff hard workers. Nice atmosphere“

“To start with, I love the thick menu! I love that they give the back stories on the local products/farms they use. And the plethora of options make certain that both my husband and I can find something we like no matter what we're in the mood for. It's also nice to go to a restaurant that has more than the same 6 things everybody else has and to know those items are made with locally sourced products. I can end with a cupcake made from scratch which also supports another small business instead of something premade from the same manufacturer everyone sources their desserts from. It's a win for me!“

“Great restaurant . After being reseated in a less noisy area, couldn't have been more delighted with everything. Friendly staff from starting at front door to leaving, great menu. We had scallops, halibut, mussels, fries. Everyone enjoyed their meal! Cosmopolitan made to perfection. Bartender, chef, bakery chef all outstanding. Will be back there ASAP.“

“Amazing food great service kind people & Great Music“

“Very nice diner, good food, pleasant waitress“

“great food and fast service“

“This is a great pubby restaurant. We have been there several times. I hate to ding them but on our last visit, my wife ordered the French Dip - she was in the mood. The server dutifully took the order and then delivered the entree with - wait for it - NO DIP! Like, what? They explained they "ran out of dip". How is that possible? Like ordering a BLT and getting toast w/mayo & lettuce and your server shrugging their shoulders telling you they're out of bacon. This type of disconnect between staff & customers is a bad sign. A sign that someone is just trying to get through their shift. I ordered a pulled-pork Sammy that was pretty good and did indeed have pulled pork between the buns. The onion rings were enjoyed as well. But note to the staff: if you're out of key items that make up the menu - please inform your guests - BEFORE HAND!
