Phenomenal service from Jordan the bartender. The food was also delicious. I loved the burger and fries, make sure to grab an extra side of j.law sauce to dip in! The arancini was tasty too. I can't wait to come back and try their brunch and the Reese's cheesecake as well. Two thumbs up.

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at this charming family-owned restaurant. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to make sure my dining experience was nothing short of exceptional.Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but the customer service was truly outstanding. The staff took the time to make personalized recommendations, ensuring that every dish was tailored to my dietary needs. Being gluten intolerant is no joke and they are completely prepared to make sure you are not going to eat anything that is not gluten free.The attention to detail and the genuine care for their customers is what sets this restaurant apart. It's clear that this family takes great pride in their establishment and values each and every patron that walks through their doors.I left feeling not only satisfied with a delicious meal but also touched by the kindness and thoughtfulness of the staff. I will definitely be returning to this gem of a restaurant and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience filled with exceptional food and unparalleled customer service.Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free

We had lunch here. Pleasant atmosphere, service was good out waitress was super.Menu had fairly good selection.Good was disappointing. My food came on a delicious bun but there was hardly any meat or shrimp on it. Lots of onions. Fries were warm Two of the people eating with me had hot food items that were cold.That was disappointing. I'm sure if you go for bar food it would be better but the portions of the regular menu were lacking.I hope it improves in this area because although it is in an out of the way location it could be a place to go to.

We stopped in for our first time for brunch. What a gem. Had a great meal with extremely tasty drink specials. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner. One of the nicest owners we have met. So attentive to my wives gluten allergy. And a great host.We walked away feeling very satisfied with the food and drink. While all a great price. Not only did we love everything about the restaurant. But we made a great friend in the owners. Looking forward to visiting them again soon.Dietary restrictions: Gluten allergy

To start, I'd like to highlight the positives: the restaurant offers ample space and the host was friendly and welcoming. However, my decision to rate JLaw Kitchen & Craft three stars stems from several fundamental culinary missteps. Firstly, placing salad directly on top of hot dishes like steak or chicken is a mistake, as it causes the salad to wilt and become soggy. Additionally, the use of balsamic vinegar was excessive, dominating the salad's flavor to the point where its strong aroma was noticeable from two feet away. A reduction to half the amount of balsamic might be advisable, along with a suggestion for the chef to use it more sparingly. Similarly, the experience with the Milanese was compromised; the dressing on the accompanying salad undermined the Milanese's signature crispiness. Furthermore, the application of chimichurri sauce on fish is a culinary faux pas in my eyes. Coming from the country that originated chimichurri, I am confident in stating that it is traditionally reserved for steak and sausages, particularly when grilled, and should not be paired with fish. Additionally, the chimichurri served was not authentic. It's akin to marketing tea as coffee - it simply doesn't match up to expectations. The pricing of the meal did not reflect the basic culinary errors made, which was disappointing. The relatively low occupancy on a Friday evening, with only 4 out of 14 tables filled, should have been a forewarning.Would I consider returning to this restaurant if they address these issues? Possibly, but certainly not at their current price point. I would prefer to invest that amount in a different dining experience elsewhere, exploring new flavors and dishes. You might want to visit the bar, as it appears to be busier and more attractive than the restaurant. The nachos were delightful, and the non-alcoholic cranberry mock mule was enjoyable. Additionally, I appreciated the availability of kombucha on tap.P.S.: The total bill neared $100 for one non-alcoholic beverage, an appetizer, and two main courses (Milanese with Arugula salad and a Chicken Parmesan sandwich).

I like the atmosphere at this pub-like spot on Germantown Road. I also liked the beer I had and the food can be good - the arancini was delicious but the burger, a core item on the menu, was just so-so. The second time I went, the bartender seemed more interested in the conversations he was having with the other workers in back than serving the customers at the bar (my first visit was better in that respect). Overall, though, a nice little place for food and drink in Danbury.

First time visiting after reviewing their instagram o had high hopes! Everything they post looks so tasty. The place is beautiful and clean. Really awesome atmosphere they have curated. I ordered a drink off the specials menu so I don't remember the name but it was supposed to have a lavender taste and it didn't. In fact, it was far far far too sweet. My friend ordered the mocktail and it tasted identical and also said it was too sweet. Our pizza looked so good! But unfortunately by the time it got to us it was cold. Maybe it could have cooked longer? I could tell the cheese wasn't exactly melted and the toppings were cold. I hope that when I try this place again I really like my meal because I want to really like this place!

Ordered food to go. Salmon was very well done.. inedible, spinach was brown mush and drunken shrimp pizza was awful!! Soggy and loaded with cheap greasy mozzarella, not even fully cooked, could only eat crust and bang bang shrimp was out of a box and cold!

J Law always delivers great food and a great night out. Loved it when it was in Bethel, and it hasn't lost a step in the new Danbury location! Can't wait to come back again!

Everything about J. Law is top notch. Clara and her team were supportive the ambiance we wanted to create for our event for the teachers union and did they come through. Customer service, friendliness, and positive vibes all around. What a wonderful place we have in Danbury and a fabulous addition to our community!
