“Excellent service and great food! We came on a Sunday for a private party, the service was awesome! Everything came out together and the servers did a great job handling 20+ people in the party. A great cocktail menu as well. The Kobe beef burger was excellent!“

“Nice homey, comfy spot!! Eggs cooked perfectly, amazing rye toast!Offer Foxon Birch Beer! Made lil' toast soldiers to dip eggs? In a perfect plate, potato's would be peeled and not so very hard and kind of over cooked...I couldn't eat them.But overall, high five breakfast!!Will be back!“

“My husband and I were in the area and found this gem. I love the esthetics. The staff was friendly, warm and inviting. Our waitress Julia provided awesome service. I really liked that everyone worked as a team.The food was delicious. I had the fish tacos. Everything was fresh. My husband had the steak sandwich, he loved it.They had non alcoholic ipa available, since he doesn't drink that's a plus. And my martini was perfection.Worth the money. If in the area again, we will definitely be back.Thank you for your service.God bless ??Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian anc gluten free options“

“Nouveau Monde has the feel of a Paris restaurant. Dark, and romantic with soft lighting. The service is top notch. Accommodating yet not hovering over you. They are there to clear and serve smoothly. The food! We had Scallops and the Salmon. Both superb! The appetizers were the Thai Steak Skewers and the Potatoes. Again fabulous! Thank you for a memorable evening to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary!“

“Unfortunately, this is a downgraded rating for this restaurant since we first went there several months ago. First I want to say however, that the service remains excellent and the staff really care. We have been to Morea 5 times since it has opened and tonight we realized that if they really want to be the best and 5 stars, then a few things need to change. 1. There menu is significantly static and really needs to either change or increase the choices on the menu. 2. They need to add more seafood choices. 3. Their dessert menu is not great or imaginative. and 4. They need some surprises on the menu- like wild game, seasonal dishes, or special seasonal delicacies like wild mushrooms or amazing and delicious fish like Pompano. I hope the management of the restaurant reads this review“

“Outstanding restaurant! (and we do a lot of our dining in NYC!) Local 63 is an oasis in Watertown, CT in a variety of ways. The food is creative (even when the dish SOUNDS traditional). The chicken fried steak (hard to even find in New England) is outstanding. The salads were awesome: perfectly dressed with great crunch and freshness. The Cassoulet (originally a French farmhouse dish) with chicken, in-house sausage, and white beans cooked to perfection is something you will not find in many other places. Great bar--friendly atmosphere and great for large groups and celebrations. This is a hidden gem with excellent service and owners who obviously care! I will go back and bring many other guests here when I have a chance.“

“Very nice Mother's Day brunch for mom and her family. Most of us had the Wakey Wakey, which was very good. Although for the price ($18), I did think there could be more potatoes, bacon and kielbasa - all of which were excellent but I wanted more! Service and ambiance were quite nice. Lots of parking in adjacent lot.“

“We tried Esme and Ruby’s for the first time today, the food was great, very friendly and fast service and great prices. Best corn beef hash we’ve had in awhile. We’ll be back!“

“Always a great time food is delicious and the people are so friendly“

“The Farmhouse is the best restaurant around. This co-owned establishment has split the management, one owner on the front end with the other being head chef in the back and it is reflected in the quality of everything they do.From the highest of standards reflected in their sourcing of the ingredients and the preparation of the food all of the way to the service, accomodations and atmosphere I sincerely couldn't say nicer things. Top notch in every way.My husband and I had our after wedding dinner here and front end owner, Michelle who is ever present made everything set for us, reserving their back room with no issue and ultra accommodating to any changes we made to our party number/requests. The service for our group of 26 was on point and the food was exceptional. We have already been back and trust it as our regular, special place. Do yourself a favor and have a meal here!Thanks again to All of You at The Farmhouse ❤️Wheelchair accessibility: My father who cannot handle stairs/steps/inclines was able to handle the logistics of The Farmhouse with ease. It is a straight shot from the parking lot and handicapped spot with no curb of any kind to get into the easily accessible building.“

“Oysters are fresh-delivered EVERY DAY. Always a great variety. Sad we couldn't get the NE Clam Chowder - the clam delivery was late that day, so it wasn't ready. :(. Yes, made in-house. Just another reason to return. The lobster cocktail is amazing! Christine was our OUTSTANDING waitstaff-we've never had anything but exceptional service here. We love Lucas Local!“

“Had a wonderful birthday dinner here. Everything was delicious -- the brussel sprouts, popcorn cauliflower, braised short ribs, shrimp and grits, and beet salad with salmon... then an Italian lemon layer cake for dessert. Even the service was great -- friendly and attentive, especially Scout our server! We will definitely be back.“

“The Barnwood is our go to for occasions as well just to eat out. The wait staff are very good . Our orders always arrive promptly, and as ordered. In addition to a well rounded menu there always are wonderful specials. We have never had a meal that we didn't like. The chef is inventive and steps outside of the ordinary with fish and meat selections. The only negative is that the acoustics are dreadful making it noisy when the restaurant fills up.Also the tables for two are small.“

“The lodge reminds me a lot of cheers! You walk in, and everyone starts to know your name… The weight staff is always very friendly and often strike up a conversation which I find something special these days. The food options are always great, and there are always a few specials on the list that catch someone’s eye. The draft beer choices are always rotating and changing which is great; often locally sourced. The bar area is always bustling, and offers a free pool table for patrons. There is also a large covered outdoor dining area for fair weather eating.“

“Been here several times , food is always good . The menu has some nice selections and I always enjoy what I get . It can be crowded so be prepared to wait during busy dinner hours .Vegetarian options: Salads , cauliflower also gluten free options as well . French fries are really good“

“I recently attended a private party there. The staff was extremely accommodating to my gluten intolerance issues and made me a separate gluten free meal which was very tasty and included gluten free bread and ice cream for dessert. I highly recommend them.“

“A really great place oozing atmosphere.Great food residency priced, with many drink options.The specialty drinks were not priced and cost more then we'd expected at $12, but we're very well made.Get the wings and the jalapeno dip (request extra jalapeno).I'm told the calamari is very good as well.Great attentive service, with smiles all around“

“Sunset Grille hosted our baby shower of around 60 guests and they did an amazing job. The food was fantastic, the venue was beautiful, and Kathy did a wonderful job planning the event. I would definitely have another event there in the future. Thank you Sunset Grille for doing such a wonderful job!!“

“The bartender there was really nice she actually made a point of coming to talk to us just thought that was great. The burgers we had were delicious. The drinks were also very good. Prices were about normal to a bit high but all in all my wife and I had a very nice meal and a couple of drinks. I would highly recommend you check the place out I'll for sure will be going back.“

“We’ve been going to the Rat for 40 years but the food, service and atmosphere has not been nearly as good as it has the last few years since the new ownership took over. Do yourself a favor and stop in at this Southbury landmark! The waitstaff, bar staff and management will certainly take care of you!“

“We were in town for a baseball game and needed food delivered to the field for the team. Michelle was amazing! From taking my multiple orders to finding the dirt road that the field was off of even helping to load the food into the bus (after rotator cuff surgery !!) she was the best! I would totally go back and recommend them to anyone coming to town! The boys loved the food- thank you!!!“

“The supervisor Derick is very friendly & has lots of patience he always gets my order done correctly with no delay…“

“We actually went twice in one weekend! We showed up without reservations, party of 10, on a Friday for lunch. They set us up quickly, the food was really good, and the staff were friendly.Then we had reservations for Sat evening for a party of 20 people. They were all set and ready for us. Food and drinks were very good. The waitress was awesome! Our guests came from all over the Northeast, and they were pleasantly surprised by the food. Thank you from the Colonial Bloodhound Club!“

“Hudson’s is a gem of a restaurant located in the Heritage Village section of Southbury. It’s serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and each of these seating times offer yummy and satisfying selections. If you don’t see exactly what you’re craving, ask the owner/chef Roy and if he has the ingredients, he always try to accommodate (he has so many times for me). He will even throw out ideas he can whip up for you, many coming out of the seafood market he also owns, which is the freshest around (I am primarily pescatarian so I know the quality is excellent).I eat here often and am never disappointed. The owner/chef is amazing at his craft. I could never stress enough how amazing a chef Roy is. Last night, I brought the burrata salad, french onion soup, grilled cheese, a rueben and the chicken pesto panini to a friend’s house and we feasted and incredibly happy! Tonight I will be back for an amazing seafood dinner and a bottle of wine. Yes…. It’s that good that I can go multiple days in a row.Give Hudson’s a try. Your happiness and satisfaction is the chef’s!Dietary restrictions: Offers glutenfree/ gluten friendly options and can adjust many items for this. I am glutenfree and love to have nany diverse choices!“

“We had our son’s rehearsal dinner at the 1850 House in Southbury. We reserved the second floor private room for a party of 37. The staff was attentive from the start. The charcuterie and appetizer setup was beyond our expectation, so much food and elegantly displayed. Drinks were ordered and served promptly. The Mgr followed up with us regularly between courses. The plated meal included soup or salad, chosen entree, and delicious desert choice. The main entree servings were plentiful. A matter of fact, the lobster tail choice was actually an entire lobster to our surprise! Our dinner guest were extremely impressed with the abundance of delicious food. Thank you Brendon and staff for your wonderful service and exceptional food. We will plan our next event at your restaurant for sure.“
