“Very good tasting food served in an elegant “New England type” dining room. French/ American cuisine. Among the appetizers, Deviled Eggs and Smoked Trout Rillettes were very good. The special ‘soup of the day' Celery Root Veloute was very tasty. Among the entrees, Olive oil poached Halibut and Pan-seared Scallops were very good. Among the desserts, Crème Brûlée and Cheesecake were good. Good wine list with some good wine-by-the glass options. Good service.“
“Tasty burger place, with lots of other options like bison, chicken and some more unusual options, too. Lots of customization. Different types of buns/wraps, Lettuce instead of bread, a variety of toppings, etc. It’s been a varied crowd the couple times I have been there. Sometimes, it’s mostly adults, but I have also stopped in and been seated next to a group of 12 8-year olds and a couple moms. TVs might be playing cartoons, or sports.Happy Hour is 3-6, with 6 dollar margaritas and 1/2 off beers, I think. No food specials, though.Food has been quite good. Salads have been good quality, onion rings are top notch. Need to try the milkshakes.Pricey for burgers, but quality has been good, servers are attentive, and it’s a reliable option in the area.“
“What a cute little place. With snow on the ground the setting could not have been more picturesque. We shared the Warm Brussels Sprout Salad, a Pasta with Eggplant and the Salmon. All were very yummy. If I was to pick nits, the Salmon could have used a little more zing.“
“Had a surprise birthday gathering for a friend at Bora. We had drinks & appetizers which was great! From the time you stepped into the restaurant the ambience is alluring . The simple but great tasting menu was sleekly designed to have you try almost everything on the menu. The service was great from the bartender to the hostess that waited the tables. I definitely recommend the expresso martini & the blackberry spicy margarita. All of the appetizers were delicious from the calamari to the meatballs to the fried shrimp. The star of the show was the fried truffle rice ball. All of the sauces were also nicely paired & seasoned to perfection.“
“Awesome that they are open for brunch/lunch as we have always been wowed by their food but used to only go for special occasion dinners. Everything we have tried on the menu has been delicious. The food is innovative and always amazing. And the atmosphere is fun, love their space. We always pop in to the British product shop next door after lunch to grab treats which is an added bonus.“
“We had the mediterranean bowl to share it was fantastic! The lobster skewers special with lemon-butter, were delicious, flavorful and well cooked. For our entrees we had the filet mignon, once again super delicious. We tried the gnocchi with sausage and chicken with vodka sauce and the cajun penne pasta. The berry berry crisp and cappuccinos to top our meal off. The server was attentive. We'll keep coming back.“
“I’m trying to put into words how absolutely incredible brunch at @jlawrencect was. If I had to rate from 0 - 10, I’d give it a 10 without any hesitation. @jlawrencect just recently opened so their space is brand new and beautifully decorated! The drinks were perfectly made, the food was delicious (seriously the tastiest brunch food I’ve had yet!) and the staff made our experience and time there wonderful! My top picks Drink - J. Law Mimosa Starter - Shareable warm donuts Entree - Main Lobster Egg Benny (with home fries) Dessert - Cookie dough with ice cream Definitely make sure to visit them. Perfect Sunday brunch with friends and or family ❤️“
“The did was fantastic!! We enjoyed the French onion soup, the hot dog and the smash burger!!-absolutely delicious!! For dessert… wow! The pretzels with chocolate syrup were great! Not too sweet, just right!! And the hot chocolate lava cake was wonderful! A great time to spend with friends!!!“
“My favorite restaurant in Bethel. The food is always on point, and the staff is awesome. Went for the first time during martini happy hour with friends, and the bartender Grace made me an excellent espresso martini. I've been coming back ever since and she always takes care of me.“
“Had a wonderful night on New Year's Eve. Food delicious and great selections. Our waiter Omar was excellent. At the end we called the owner over and Tracy pulled over a chair to talk with us a bit. We had a chance to tell him how great everything was. Highly recommend.“
“Craft- a Unique Hidden Gem.As someone, who has frequented restaurants for 40 years, Craft is without a doubt the most consistent, and enjoyable place that I have had the pleasure to patronize.Craft offers amazing cocktails, wines, craft beer, along w/domestic, and imported beer, great food, and professional service.Make no mistake this is a well-run establishment, led by their stoic, and great-guy owner Jasson, who though usually stationed in the kitchen can often be found bartending, serving, greeting customers, and actively training new staff.Most times you are greeted by their exceptional Maitre D’ Raymundo, or master bartenders- the ruggedly handsome Peterson, future interior designer to the stars Sam, or California dream-girl Amber.The professional waitstaff is comprised of the elegant Lee, lovely Colleen, the beautiful & mysterious Nicki, future electrical contracting mogul Anthony, the always affable Justin, Terminator-like server Jorge, and captivating hostess Victoria.The “back of the house” is anchored by former “soccer star” Chef William, Christopher- “Master of the art of the fry,” the three amigos, and suds-busting engineer Selby round out the rest of a remarkable staff, who make Craft a most sought after destination.“
“Now upon pulling up to this little spot one doesn't get a great impression. Its a small parking spot for a small restuarant...when walking in the feel of the place is homey yet a bit cramped. For some strange reason there are two different entrances to this lil pub which presents a bit of a draft issue in the colder months with people coming in and out of either side...other than the ambiance leaving much to desire the food was pleasantly good. I ordered the black cat burger which was slightly reminiscent of a rueben sandwhich with rye toast for buns, swiss,grilled onion,russian dressin....it arrived assembled and cooked to order. Nice size patty that was juicy flavorful and fresh. The onion rings were sparse but decent and all in all I would say it was good, I think that I might try it again in the summer for a better overall review.Edit: came back around the way here and the burgers weren't as good as I rememberedThe cod was a massive piece which is a good value but made for a clunky sammich. All in all its good but nothing that will wow you over atm.“
“We walked in early on a Saturday evening to see if they had a table for 4 (after the restaurant we had originally booked looked grim...) and were immediately greeted with warmth and professionalism. They offered to create a 4 top for us in a quiet corner and whisked us to the table. The service and food that followed were both terrific. A great lesson in hospitality. Make people feel welcome and feed them terrific, straight forward food with attentive but not overbearing service and reasonable prices!“
“The Sesame Seed Restaurant has been a favorite of our family, could it be over thirty years? We had a favorite waitress for many years. She had a wonderful smile and was lovely. The food is always good and the ambiance is like walking back in time. I would love it if they had gluten-free pasta options. I miss eating gnocchi and the raviolette!“
“I can honestly say this restaurant, is by far, our favorite place to dine. From the intimacy of the dining areas, the attentive staff and incredible cuisine. Many time you go out to eat where one of the courses is good. Here EVERYTHING is amazing. From appetizer to dessert it's all delicious. The hardest decision is what to order. My favorite is the cheese soufflé as a starter then the Beef Wellington and finish with their amazing chocolate soufflé. Our go to for special occasions or just a night out to spoil one self. This is a "don't miss"!“
“This place was really great! First time I'd ever been since they changed the name. Went for a fun night out with my nephews fiance. She's not from the area and I'd really hoped to show her some cool spots. This did not disappoint, even on a Tuesday. We got the loaded tots app and green monster pesto pizza. The tots were a but spicy, but nothing that burned our mouth. Just gave us a few hot flashes and some laughs. But really, the food was Excellent. We were there pretty late, saw the kitchen going home. Even as we were the only 2 ppl left, we'd asked the waitress if we were holding her up and she was so sweet and accommodating, never made us feel like we had to leave. I did tip well as a result. Would absolutely return!!!“
“Oh my! As an insufferable foodie I was expecting the food to be good but didn’t think it would be SO…. WOW! The lamb ribs are phenomenal the scallops were insanely delicious The pork chop was perfection and the tuna seared to perfection we finished with the chocolate Budino of dreams the entire meal was phenomenal Serious 5 ⭐️ dining“
“Warm & welcoming, and a really nice meal. The turkey meatloaf is off the charts excellent, which is hard for turkey meatloaf to do but you will thank me later. The space feels in need of a modest makeover & the physical menus were a little beat up. I'll definitely be back, but hoping a few of these minor details aren't signs of complacency.“
“We were running late and when we call they accommodated us. It’s a nice chill diverse spot. I love Norwalk!. Hubby is a chef so I am always looking for a place to impress. This place did it. It’s a decent spot for just about any event. Get the wings, get the burger, get the drinks. My hubby said the linguini and clams were decent. The bread is fresh and delicious. Everything is fresh made. I will return to try more items and try the patio. Thank you for your hospitality. ;)“
“The Cottage has quickly become one of our new favorite restaurants in Fairfield county! We had a cozy date night here enjoying our seasonal dishes! We loved the green goddess dressing and brioche croutons on our “Cottage Salad”. The wagyu brisket bao buns were also a highlight, and it was our first time trying squid ink aioli, which really exceeded our expectations! My fiancé ordered the Berkshire pork tenderloin, which was cooked perfectly and even came with a knödel (similar to matzo balls), which we thought was a great pairing! Their hand-cut tagliatelle was exceptional with lamb, labne, and a touch of mint. Desserts were equally as amazing as the rest of the meal! The broken meyer lemon tart was topped with a thick layer of meringue, and the devil’s food cake was topped with a bourbon caramel and paired with espresso mascarpone. The cocktails hit the mark as well, and I appreciated that they had a section for low/no alcohol drinks! Our experience at The Cottage was definitely memorable, and we highly recommend adding them to your list of restaurants to try in Fairfield county!“
“This was the best meal I ever had at a restaurant! Ditto for my husband also. The place was a bit noisy around the 5:30-6:30 dinner time, then calmed down after that. This was also the first time I had a hot fresh cup of coffee in a restaurant. It appears this is a popular place for friends and families to go. I am telling my family and friends the food is magnificent.Vegetarian options: I am vegan. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts were perfectly done and very tasty. The portion was large so I was pleased about taking some home. The kale in the salad was the most tender I ever tasted. The cranberries were slightly sweet, and there was avocado included in the Mediterranean Salad also, I added some of the Brussel Sprouts to the salad it was a perfect dish! My husband got a shrimp dish he enjoyed. The dessert was tasty and not overly sweet, I had a warm apple tart with Carmel sauce.My. husband got the chocolate Lava cake and loved it. The level of sweetness was perfect not over done. I had no guilt breaking my diet to celebrate our wedding anniversary! The staff are friendly and timely bringing your dinner and your bill in a reasonable amount of time.So go and enjoy this wonderful restaurant!“
“Really enjoyed your restaurant, probably the best clam chowder I have every eaten and I'm a snob when it comes to food.Shout out to Stephany who helped me with getting a receipt I needed. She was not only helpful but very pleasant and a wonderful greeter for your customers.Parking: Depends on the day and time you come. It's in a plaza which is pretty busy.“
“Visited One Twenty Three Restaurant after a tennis match. The exceptional waiter made our experience memorable. Indulged in delightful chocolate martinis and savored a delicious filet mignon. Special mention to the accommodating staff for promptly fulfilling my daughter's request for a second serving of pasta.“
“Had a Saturday lunch with friends and 18 month old twins-staff couldn't have been more understanding and accommodating. Had the turkey Chili- delicious! And went with the server's recommendation of beer (facehugger IPA), which went perfectly. Would definitely eat here again.“
“Great food. The appetizers were delicious. We had fried calamari with chorizos in a tomato based sauce that hit all the right notes. The ceviche was smooth, light, and delightful. We brought our own wine. One of the bottles cork broke and the manager was kind enough to remove the broken cork and put the wine in a decanter. Main courses were delicious and the churros and tres leches dessert were out of this world!.“
“We have been going here for years, and have always had great food and above par service. We’ve tried many of the items on the menu and have never had a meal we didn’t love. It’s great for a special occasion, or for burgers and pizza!Vegetarian options: Pizza, bean burgers, pasta, etcDietary restrictions: One of us is gluten free, the other a vegetarian. There are plenty of options on the menu for both of us!“
“Usually some good stuff but last few orders I got two burnt 13$ pretzels and some under cooked cold mozz sticks… so I guess the cooks just don’t care enough to even cook simple stuff adequately … think my trash can lit on fire the pretzels were so burnt ?♂️“
“The marketing and events coordinator reached out to me to apologize for my last visit. She was kind enough to offer compensation via a gift card. We went back unrecognized to receive exceptional service and a very good meal. Stephanie, thank you!“
“I can’t speak highly enough about Elm - from the delicious food, to the level of care provided by every staff member, to the exceptional cocktails and hospitality provided by Hector @ the bar. We choose Elm time and time again to celebrate our most special milestones and memories, including our engagement party. 10/10 recommend Elm once and promise you won’t want to go anywhere else.“
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Pippa Sports Café, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Danbury, Connecticut. As a sports enthusiast, this café immediately caught my attention with its vibrant atmosphere and passion for all things sports-related.First and foremost, the staff at Pippa Sports Café deserves applause. They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu and sports events. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and made to feel right at home. They go above and beyond to ensure their customers have an enjoyable experience.The café itself showcases a diverse range of sports memorabilia adorning the walls, creating an ambiance that caters perfectly to sports fans. With numerous flat-screen TVs strategically placed throughout the venue, every seat is a great spot to catch the game, no matter where you are seated. It's the perfect place to share a meal, grab a drink, and cheer for your favorite team with friends.Speaking of food, Pippa Sports Café offers a solid menu of classic sports bar fare. Their juicy burgers, loaded nachos, and wings truly hit the spot, satisfying any craving you might have during a game. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are reasonable considering the quality and taste.Furthermore, the drink selection at Pippa Sports Café is extensive, with an impressive array of craft beers, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages to choose from. I particularly enjoyed their selection of local and regional craft beers, which added an extra touch to my overall experience.My only small qualm with Pippa Sports Café is that it can get quite busy during peak hours, which might result in slightly slower service. However, the staff does its best to accommodate all customers promptly, so just a little patience might be required during those times.To sum it up, Pippa Sports Café is a fantastic spot for sports lovers seeking a great atmosphere, delicious food, and a vibrant social scene. The staff's dedication, coupled with the fantastic ambiance and scrumptious menu, make it an excellent choice for individuals or groups seeking an enjoyable evening surrounded by sports enthusiasm.Whether you're a local looking for a new favorite sports hangout or a visitor passing through Danbury, I highly recommend paying a visit to Pippa Sports Café. It's a worthwhile spot to immerse yourself in the game, share in the excitement, and savor some tasty food and refreshing drinks.“
“Always a superb experience at this hidden neighborhood gem in New Canaan. Entrance is around back for those in the know. Warm and cozy with a friendly-family vibe. The Double Double Burger and Cheesesteak are as good as you can get. Cocktails are prepared by arguably the best bartenders in the state and they are exceptional. Service is efficient and friendly and managers are always around making sure the crowd is happy. Go once and you'll find you can't wait to go back!!!“
“Food and our waitress was great..the place feels nice but definitely tight inside. It was loud in there because it's a small place. There was a party table near us with a buffet set up in the other room, but they should have been in there, so the atmosphere could have been “
“Food was good. Place was abandoned at 12:00 on a Thursday which was kind of weird where we had to ask the server if they were open. We only saw one woman the whole time, who was okay. They were out of various options on the menu, (like sandwiches), which is part of my reason for not giving them 5 stars. (Maybe it was just an off day though). The passion fruit mojito our server made at the bar though was AWESOME. I would go back just for the mojito. The lemon chicken had a great sauce on it. Overall, a pretty good spot!“
“It's been years since I've been here, surprisingly food and friendly service are the same. I always get the French onion soup and Santa Fe steak wrap, get the picky 2. It's a good deal for $12.49. I remember it in 2007 for $6.49, how times have changed. Pricing is reasonable compared to other places and food remains consistent.“
“I love having a meal or three at the Lunch Box when I am visiting family in Weston. The service is amazing, the food is always delicious and it's a relaxing atmosphere. If only I could visit more often!!Kid-friendliness: The grandkids were entertained with their "lunch box" crayons and paper. They loved their meal of pasta made just the way they like it!“
“I had a healthy bowl with Cali rice, turkey burger alva Alvarado and broccoli (which btw was cooked perfectly) that was very good. Wait staff was fairly good, very pleasant when at our table, but we did have to find staff and request some basics like milk for the coffee. Prices were good too. Overall, a positive dining “
“Absolutely phenomenal dinner! The menu is impressive with dishes you don't see at every other restaurant around here, and the food is so well thought out and delicious. The vibe is very friendly and unpretentious despite how special the food is. The meat comes from farms within 70 miles — the lamb is from the owners' farm. HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!“
“This was our first visit to Farmhouse at the Crossroads. We ate outside on their lovely patio. The food was superb, the service attentive and the overall experience was wonderful. One of our favorites of the evening was the carpresse salad with fresh burrata and delicious cucumber sorbet, although everything we ate was amazing!“
“The waitress I had was very sweet..The pancakes were ok, everyone likes them differently, they were thick and fluffy, I like them thin and moist and Im not one of those people that drenches them in syrup and butter..The rest of my breakfast food was delicious, I would suggest to use your own judgement on the pancakes..“
“We had dinner this past weekend and the experience was phenomenal. We started with mark twain cocktails & burrata . The special Artic Char entree was delicious! Our server Patrick was so sweet and attentive! We will definitely be back ?“
