The food was delicious, the decorations were beautiful, the atmosphere was warm and cozy, all of the staff that we encountered were young but surprisingly all so very well mannered, polite and very nice!! Our waiter was Alton, he did a wonderful job and always addressed my husband as Sir. We would definitely recommend this restaurant!!“

“Had lunch today with my sister and daughter Had the pear walnut salad with blackened scallops One of my favorites Unfortunately today the scallops were overcooked like little rubber balls“

“I went to Whitlock's a couple of weekends ago and had the absolute best meal. I ordered the French dip and it was mouthwatering good. My server's name was Tisha and she was honestly one of the best server's I've ever meet. Her smile light up the room and she went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were happy from the time I walked in, to the time we left. I would recommend Whitlock's to anyone who hasn't been.“

“The food the drinks the people are all the best here. They have the best brunch options and the menu has so much to offer. I will definitely keep coming back. Even on a Sunday when they had 2 bigger parties we were very pleased with the service“

“in town for the weekend, and drove directly to Biksbee's. The food was just as amazing as last time! soooooo good.“

“My absolute favorite place“

“To start with, I love the thick menu! I love that they give the back stories on the local products/farms they use. And the plethora of options make certain that both my husband and I can find something we like no matter what we're in the mood for. It's also nice to go to a restaurant that has more than the same 6 things everybody else has and to know those items are made with locally sourced products. I can end with a cupcake made from scratch which also supports another small business instead of something premade from the same manufacturer everyone sources their desserts from. It's a win for me!“

“We hosted my daughter‘s bridal shower at J Law and it was everything we hoped for. Clara, Megan, and the entire team were attentive, kind, and incredibly helpful throughout the day. The private event space was ideal, spacious, welcoming, and flexible enough for us to personalize with our own decor. The food was delicious. The service was top-notch and the atmosphere made everyone feel at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to return for another celebration. Thank you, Clara and the J Law team for helping us create such a memorable day!“

“Excellent!! My parents bought a gift card for us to visit as they always rave about this place. We finally had time to use it for our anniversary over the weekend. Excellent all around.

“Highly recommend R House for a wonderful dining experience. What a treat to have Gerardo as our server - he was welcoming/attentive and lots of fun! The food was excellent from our appetizers/main course and panna cotta for dessert. But wait...yet another delicious surprise - a glass of limoncello...reminiscent of Positano Italy - bravo!“

“Great food! Definitely worth the trip!“

“For a restaurant that is so close to 5 star you can literally taste it. They definitely try hard to give you a perfect dining experience and that's commendable. The shock factor for this establishment was it's loud and partitions or background music isn't going to change that, so you lose a bit of intimacy. However if it's decent quisine you are looking for you may be in the right spot. The breaded and fried chicken was good and done correctly however the panko was retaining the flavor of the oil rather than it's own. The brussel sprouts were good but honestly it can do without the bacon bits(that were really hard for some reason). Too many minor nuance's for a five star but I believe the potential is there!“

“We did the Wednesday prix fixe menu and it was amazing. It truly felt to be like I was eating art. I don't know the name of the chef, but you can tell they are exceptional. The attention to detail in each dish made it obvious the chef is passionate about what they create. The flavors were unique, the atmosphere upscale yet comforting, and the service was lovely. We had a wonderful time.“

The manager Brett is always so welcoming and makes my party and I feel like family everytime. I will be a returning customer for as long as I live in Connecticut!“

“We thoroughly enjoy the Mill Plain Diner. The staff are always friendly, courteous and professional. The food is served hot and is always delicious, while it is reasonably priced. We have any of number of diners we could go to for our weekly weekend breakfasts, but Mill Plain Diner is the one we choose.“

“The family tries to get together at Redding Road House at least twice a year. The place is relaxing the food is good and the service has always been great. I never thought the service could get better until this past weekend when a charming and smiling young lady waited on us. She was always there at the right time always had on an incredible smile and always got our food right for the ten of us. This young lady should train every wait staff member in the world. If you want incredible service ask for Emma.“
