25 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Clinton

“This is one of my parents favorite restaurants, when they come to visit us in Clinton. We were disappointed the past few times we have visited, with the food quality (seemed to have gone downhill in recent years). This being said, were extremely impressed on our visit last weekend. It seems that there were a few new dishes on the menu, and the classic french fare was re-imagined with attention to quality and flavor.This said, the service though extremely professional and courteous was a little slow. It took a while for what appeared to be the one server working to make her way to all the tables. It was busy for a Sunday afternoon! This said the young lady who served us made us feel very welcome and did her best to take care of us, and ultimately was extremely gracious.We love sitting on next to the windows overlooking the vineyard. You really can't beat that backdrop, and we love the intimate setting of the bistro.We look forward to returning soon!“

“Visited here over a year ago and cannot stop thinking about the best ever Lobster Roll..... planing a trip to the region and trying to figure out how to sneak in a two hour side trip!Update: Still the best. Traveled the northeast coast and tried several other places and decided to change departure plans so we could have it again. We bragged so much that a couple of friends from New Jersey made the drive to meet us.“

“We stopped here for a quick breakfast the other day, just before they close for the winter months. I'm the owner who was working the grill. The food menu items were delicious and we were not disappointed, all in all we had a great meal here and would highly recommend anybody stop on their way down 154.“

“The Ruben sandwich was excellent. Pastrami had good flavor, perfectly grilled and in good proportions. The Higgy steak and cheese sandwich my husband ordered was tasty as well, but our west coast background did leave us craving some au jus. It would have been exceptional with an au jus.The potato salad is a solid choice for your side dish. It is clearly homemade, and I will happily order it again.Service was pleasant and attentive. Atmosphere feels like the place the locals all know to go for breakfast or morning coffee, where everyone acknowledges each other or says hello on the way in. The cooking is excellent. A restaurant worth making sure your trip takes you by.“

“I am not from this area, but I stumbled upon this little coffee shop in my travels. I was warmly greeted, and they took my order immediately (this was 11am so not a rush hour for a coffee shop) and they made me one of the best lattes I've ever had. Had great flavor, and was nice and hot. About the same price point as Starbucks, but worth every penny to support a local shop. I would recommend a stop here!“

“Love their food! Been going there for about a year now, and everyone is very accommodating. Entree portions are huge and the price is excellent. Pizza is awesome too. Stopped going to Petrillo's and forget about Grand in town-BIG RIP OFF! with crappy service. Go to Amato's. You won't be disappointed.“

“Our favorite brewery to go to in the entire State of Connecticut. The beers are always rotating with various selections, and all taste great. The tap room is an awesome place to hang out and meet friends, and the staff is the friendliest and most knowledgeable we have met. The location in downtown Chester is very neat and the brewery is surrounded by different types of restaurants for all kinds of appetites. Highly recommend this small Brewery for a once in a lifetime experience.“

“The girls and I did a little shopping and then brewery hoping last weekend. The location was easy to find. There's seating outdoors and indoors. The building appears to have been an old warehouse. Inside is a spacious area with plenty of hangout space, tables, booths, Foosball and Darts. We decided to drink at the bar. We were greeted by a young man who placed coasters for our drinks and a menu to read. They also have a large chalkboard that can be changed when needed. He gave us a welcoming smile and some time to go over the menu. I decided on the Bubbly, a Peach-Grapefruit Seltzer. Mine was a light and refreshing drink. Sara tried the Purple Beer and Robin ordered the beautiful flight of beers. Prices were right and the drinks were great.“

“This place is such a hidden gem. Delicious food and good gluten free options. Honestly one of the best burgers in Guilford! Sitting outside in when it is nice out is peaceful and relaxing and the outdoor furniture is pleasantly comfortable!“

“Stopped by for lunch while travelling through the area and was a much better option than the chain options. They have a small building I almost missed as driving by - had to turn around to go back. I highly recommend the burger with spicy mayo and a side of potato salad. Some great options for those that like seafood too.“

“Yum yum yum. They lived up to their sign out front saying Best Sandwiches in town. I had the special Such and Such and my husband had a Wowzie. We both loved our sandwiches. Such a cute shop and wish we lived closer. They have a great cheese selection and specialty products. Can't say enough about this place. Also owner and staff were very friendly!“

“There’s such a variety of yummy treats at Essex Chocolates! I always find something to enjoy for myself or a gift to buy for a special occasion. They have a nice range of items from homemade to name brands to novelty. The handicap entrance is next to Scotch Plains Tavern; the entrance just outside the chocolate shop has a few steps. Plenty of parking on both sides. Check out the local handmade gifts or just stop in for a beverage or ice cream!“

“The Pho is very good would recommend. the interior is very nice as well only a few seats though so could fill up fast. Only one waitress but she is super nice and helpful.Haven't tried any of the other food yet but I imagine it is just as good. The pho is light and doesn't leave you bloated after eating your full bowl. It is on the pricier side but also is the only type of restaurant in the area.“

“Ice cream shop at a crossroads. When we came we could only order at the window. The inside was not accessible. We ordered a soft serve twist; chocolate and vanilla, and a cup with two scoops pistachio with almonds and coffee. Outside is plenty of seating on park benches and chairs overlooking a small pond with a water fountain. Ice cream is good and a relax spot to sit down after visiting the outlets.“

“It's a very cute little spot with a surprisingly welcoming tavern vibe. They are a hearth and fireplace away from peak cozy pub atmosphere. They have a good, and often rotating selection of beers, and the food I have tried has been good, and what I saw on other people's tables looked good. Definitely quality snacking to keep you drinking! The bartender was exceptionally friendly, and while juggling the crowd still made time to chat with us about beers and breweries. I have only been by a few times now, but it always makes me want to visit more often.Parking: Large parking lot in a plaza.“

“This place is great. I bring my kids here all the time for a "treat" that is actually very healthy. They love the smoothies, particularly the PB and Whey. I've probably been twenty times since I've moved to Madison and I get the Nutty Bowl every time, it's just too good! The ingredients are always super fresh and the employees are upbeat and friendly. My wife has started getting their oat bowls and says they're delicious. Sitting outside is great in the warmer months, not a ton of seating inside.“

“What a FUN night!!!! Awesome friends, Great food, ( crab spinach artichoke dip, loaded nachos, huge burgers, and my AWESOME DOO GOODER SALAD YUMMMMM!!! wonderful waitstaff, then after dinner out to the fire pit for some s’mores and more catching up!!! Would highly recommend!!! Check this place out!!! They are all decorated for the Christmas steam train to go by!!! Which I need to do too also!!!“

“The beer was very good, the bartender was friendly and provided great service and explained all the different beers they had and made some great recommendations. The wings were very good, as was their special of day- sausage platter and pretzels. We highly recommend it and will return!“

“Leaving this review as I’m eating my to-go eggplant rollatini at home. I ate here often since I’m CT local and vegan, everything I’ve tried so far has been so dang delicious. My favorite is the tiramisu. The service is great too. They have indoor and outdoor sitting areas now although not much seating.“

“I was so excited to go to Sweet P's during our trip to Essex, especially after hearing they use Ashley's ice cream! We were greeted so kindly! I ordered lemon graham and salted caramel on a waffle cone. Both flavors were amazing, but man, was that lemon something special! We really enjoyed everything! This place is a must when visiting Essex.“

“I always wanted to visit the bookstore but never knew they have a small cafe in the back. My daughter didn't had any breakfast that day and I can always find a good excuse to try a new place, so we decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised. Staff was super nice and friendly, they greeted us right away. They had a menu for Valentine's Day and looked so good we decided to try 2 drinks and share a breakfast sandwich. Our coffee drinks were very good, I had a hot mocha and my daughter opted for an iced special. Our California sandwich had boiled egg and a spicy spread with apple slices on the side. I will definitely come back or take something to go on my way to the beach!“

“Great service , diappointing food at this popular restaurant. We had excellent mocktails and cocktails. It's a place to go dinking. Several large noisy parties at brunch. But unfortunately the brunch was meh. "Vegetable fries" were undercooked dry potato cubes with a sprinkling of mystery veg (maybe peppers?) served cold. The bacon was good but served in grease. Eggs were cold. Not much avocado on the avocado toast. No condiments except ketchup. Had to ask for salt and pepper. Plenty of parking round the boatyard . Many many stairs . Nice outdoors when it's warmer.“

“Hungry after a few hours at Gillette Castle, we were looking for lunch/dinner. We had a wonderful experience at Pattaconk! Our waitress was friendly and attentive to my dietary needs (Celiac’s). We had a burger, quesadilla & Nashville chicken stripes. My burger had a gf bun & was delicious, husb & daughter loved the stripes & quesadilla. Restaurant had a nice, chill atmosphere, everyone enjoying drinks & food. We will be back when out in the area.“

“haven't been back in over a decade and this pizza still stands up next to sally's in new haven as my favorite pizza. the crust is as thin and crispy, without sacrificing any structural integrity to hold up whilst eating, with the perfect amount of chew that deteriorates with a perfectmini burned spots that just burst the umami of the sauce as you eat it. nice to know that something that set such an impression on me when i lived a stones throw away throughout high school hasn't changed at all. also i don't remember them having baklava 15 years ago but needless to say it was masterfully made and i would implore anyone with a sweet tooth to try it, it's not overly moist like some baklava and the nuts were evenly spread making for a nice bite every time.“

“I enjoyed Lenny and Joe’s so very much. The staff working there are so friendly! I ordered baked stuffed shrimp and it was truly out of this world. The stuffing is very flavorful and light. I also ordered the boiled red potatoes and Cole slaw and both were yummy! The only thing stopping me from a 5 stars is the atmosphere. The restaurant is clean yet is it worn and somewhat dull and tired looking. The bathroom could use a facelift too! That being said, I will visit L&Js every time I visit CT!“
