“Every meal is perfect! I have tried just about everything on the menu and have never been disappointed! My wife has quite a few food allergies, and between the communication with the waitstaff and the chef, her meals come out amazing! After each meal we always finish up at the bar with a cocktail. The bartenders creat a different drink special every day. And let me just say... sooo good! So this restaurant is a must try! You will be coming back again and again!Dietary restrictions: The chef can create a meal specifically to your restrictions. Don't be shy to let your server know. They take it very seriously.“
“"My recent visit to the Brookside Inn Restaurant was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped inside, the warm and inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who were happy to answer my questions and make recommendations.Now, let's talk about the food! The fresh shucked lightly fried whole belly clams were truly outstanding. The batter was light and crispy, allowing the natural sweetness of the clams to shine through. Each bite was a perfect combination of textures and flavors. The veal scallopini was equally impressive. The veal was cooked to tender perfection and the accompanying sauce was rich and flavorful. It was a dish that truly satisfied my taste buds.Overall, my experience at the Brookside Inn Restaurant was truly exceptional. The combination of delicious food, impeccable service, and a warm and inviting atmosphere makes it a place I highly recommend. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, look no further than the Brookside Inn!"“
“This was our first time at Chaplin's and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent and the food was excellent, well prepared and hot when it arrived at the table. The Chaplin burger was exceptional and the portion was large. The noise level a little high, they could use some soundproofing material in the ceiling, would definitely return again“
“We decided to try The Smithy for our anniversary dinner out. It has kind of an up to date 70’s steakhouse vibe. It’s one of a dying breed that still has the old school salad bar that’s included with your meal. It had a nice steakhouse menu with a nice variety of selections. I got the French onion soup starter. The flavor was good, but I don’t think the cheese was Gruyère that is what’s supposed to be used, I’m pretty sure it was mozzarella. For our Entrees I had the porterhouse and my wife had the filet. Both were cooked perfectly to perfection to a nice medium rare. Both came with a baked potato that was cooked perfectly as well. The only knock I have on the potato is the up-charge for the bacon and chives of $2 each. Especially when you can get bacon bits included with the salad bar and the amount of chives were negligible. We decided to have the brownie sundae for dessert and that was a nice throwback too. The waiter said they had a good cappuccino so we gave those a try with the dessert. We were kind of disappointed with those as well as they were basically instant coffee with some cream and topped with whipped cream, not a cappuccino. Overall the food was very good. Our waiter was very helpful, personable and friendly as well so that was nice.This was a very nice steakhouse with great food. It has a few areas that could be improved on a little bit, but the good far outweighs any negatives (I won’t say bads here).I would happily go back again.“
“Great place if you're looking for flavorful food! Chicken tenders are always flavorful and delicious. I tried the fried fish for the first time and it was totally worth it. The menu could look a little pricey but totally worth it if you're looking for fresh flavorful food.“
“Excellent restaurant. The staff is awesome. The food is delicious. The chef went out of his way to make me a dish that was not on the menu. Our waitress Alexis must have told him that I had asked if they served shrimp parmesan. She suggested the shrimp linguini. The chef prepared the dish for me which was very caring, it made me feel so special. I highly recommend Ria's Restaurant in Waterbury, CT.“
“2nd time here for dinner, and did not disappoint. Swordfish entree was delicious, and calamari & tuna tartare appetizers as well. The special Manhattan cocktail (“Night at the Roxbury”) was absolutely excellent. Great overall experience & very good service“
“Under new ownership! We stopped in for a meal and I ended up being highly satisfied, started with bread and an oil garlic and herb did, that had a lot of aroma and fine taste. Bread was hard shell soft inside perfect to soak up the oil. We ordered espresso martinis that were excellent in taste! Then the salad, great color to the greens and crunchy croutons with a great Cesar dressing. The meals Fra Diablo calamari in spaghetti and a shrimp and scallop special with broccoli rabe cooked with knowledge and heart. Finish with a Sauvignon Blanc. What a great meal and they are making the dining area cozy and warm. Exactly what you need when you eat at an Italian restaurant. I will continue to dine in and out.“
“Our first time to Aldo’s was last night and it was fantastic! Beautifully decorated, it was warm and festive. Everyone there was friendly. We had the Brussels Sprouts, Pork Chop and Braised Short Ribs (special) as well as cocktails. Everything was delicious! Portions were great and they were very attentive when I asked about my meal being gluten free. We will definitely make this a regular stop!“

“I have been here 5 times now both pick up and sit down. The food has been amazing and the atmosphere is great. The inside is very very clean. I do not like writing negative reviews however the service in person is great but over the phone 1 star would be to much. Both times i ordered over the phone it was very very rushed and I could hardly get a question in. This most recent time the phone call was so rushed and with the language barrier we misunderstood each other. I know that can happen and it is what it is. When i showed up i noticed my order had additional items that i did not ask for. When I told the gentleman i did not ask for them I got the worst attitude and he got so mad. When i said I'm not sure what happened but sorry he snapped at me saying I should have listened better. Normally I would have said whatever and taken the additional items if they are small however it was 3 more things of ramen. I still tipped 20% because maybe he was having a bad day and not tipping is just rude. When he came back after he removed the other items my food was basically thrown at me. I didn't check it and when i got home one of the lids was off and half of the broth leaked out. I was really enjoying a ramen place being so close and i was sending all my friends there. However reguardless of how good their dumplings are i may just drive the extra 20 minutes somewhere else.“
