“If there was 5 star for take out - Centerbrook Pizza wins the Michelin Star. The food is deliciously homemade from their pizza to their pasta and all the salads and grinders in between .The service is family based - from Mike, the master in the kitchen to Anna , his wing woman, you both are best and go beyond for your customers ! ! Added shout to Norma , you are a great front person and you make super grill cheese.Want a great meal, go to Centerbrook !”
“We stopped by this restaurant on the way to the train station and the food was very good. The pizza's crust is crunchy and the pizza has a lot of flavor. The portions are big so the kids quesadilla will feed 2 kids easily. Friendly service and the restaurant is clean. Will recommend.”
“Great group of people on all shifts- They start to know your name and your coffee makings! Cudos for you 4 & 5 am folks!!!Parking: In and out Plath a lot of call ahead pic up. Seating is designed for Covid & spacing so is outsideKid-friendliness: In our small towns eventually everyone knows everyone so it a village raising our children here-Wheelchair accessibility: Auto door and spacious area for bathroom as wetas maintains line ordering.”
“Absolute favorite restaurant. I cannot say enough good things about this place. The food is amazing. The drinks are amazing. The atmosphere is ridiculously lovely. Would definitely recommend!Vegetarian options: They happily accommodate dietary restrictions. I have brought vegetarian and vegan friends here who have had no problem finding really tasty things on the menu.Dietary restrictions: They are happy to accommodate any allergies. I brought my good friend here who is allergic to nuts and they were very accommodating and helpful.”
“We had an excellent experience. everyone was welcoming. Great choices on the menu, the food was brought promptly, well prepared, wait staff was attentive. Had the Mystic oysters for appetizer, they were amazing. We will be back again !”
“It was a wonderful experience! The decor is cozy and beautiful. The Lobster bisque was AWESOME! We were celebrating three birthdays and they brought each of birthday people desserts—so kind!♥️?”
“Absolutely the best pizza I have ever had, these guys and girls know their stuff, if you love pizza then go here to meet your pizza soul mate because you will be in heaven with the first bite...!!Kid-friendliness: We brought our grand child there his name is Otto and they gave him a free t shirt ...who does that these days ....?”
“A gem in this pretty town! Ordered white clam pizza and cheese pizza. Pizza's crust was thin and fragrant. Both pizzas were fantastic. Cheese pizza was not too salty and tasted just perfect. White clam pizza was just so good too. Staff were also friendly and setting was very casual. Hope to be back!”
“It's not Ichiran, but the Tonkotsu ramen honestly comes quite close (for me). For the middle of Connecticut where there's a major lack of good choices of ramen, this place hits the spot. It's also fast: I ordered, ate, and left within ~25 minutes. Will absolutely be coming back!Vegetarian options: Ask for replacements”
“Love this spot. It gives Cape Cod vibes on the coast of CT--truly quintessential New England. It's majorly clean with plenty of seating inside and out. Beer options are plentiful and the IPAs (my favorite) were phenomenal and may be one of the best I've tried in a long time. They have the beautiful color down-- I knew before tasting it was going to be lovely. The food menu is plentiful and there are plenty of options for all tastes. This is the perfect stop after the beach or really any time. I'll be back again and again and can't wait to come here in the warmer months.”
“Oh man this place never disappoints best honey maple latte I ever had oh and that strawberry coffee cake....Just wow might have to take up baking because that was amazing ”
“We visited Al Forno for Dinner and were Pleasantly Impressed by the Food, Service, Desserts right down to the Cappachinos !!Ben and his staff were Outstanding and we really enjoyed our evening, it was a very nice Food Experience and we will return with Friends and Family to share the same Nicely Done Ben !!!??”
“I am not from this area, but I stumbled upon this little coffee shop in my travels. I was warmly greeted, and they took my order immediately (this was 11am so not a rush hour for a coffee shop) and they made me one of the best lattes I've ever had. Had great flavor, and was nice and hot. About the same price point as Starbucks, but worth every penny to support a local shop. I would recommend a stop here!”
“Everything is vegan and gluten-free. Some are nut and soy free.Had the roasted veggie pizza with two different cheeses. My wife had the Mexican bowl. Both loaded with flavor and lots of fresh veggies and fruits. Every bite was a little taste of heaven and very filling.Got baked goods. I'll try later.Staff is very friendly and enthusiastic.Live music Saturday afternoons.Lots of local artists selling their creations in the store. Bought a gorgeous butterfly bracelet. Great prices!Vegetarian options: 100% veganDietary restrictions: 100% dairy free and gluten-free. Nut and soy free dishes labeled.Parking: Easy to park”
“I try to treat myself to their sandwiches once a week. As a native of New Haven area this is the only place that reminds me of the Italian delis at home. There sandwiches never disappoint and a great gem in the deep river area!”
“What a pleasant surprise! We have been visiting our son for years who is part a program for disabled adults. We are foodies and have never been impressed with any food on the shoreline. This brunch was beyond all expectations! We will definitely be back.”
“I've been here for two Birthday Celebrations and both were a lot of fun! The staff is great, the food is really good too. Definitely good vibes and awesome to watch live sports on the big screen. I'm a huge football fan it and was nice watching the playoffs last night on their big screen! I would definitely recommend this place.”
“Delicious pork Al pastor burrito bowl (taco salad). No fountain sodas, but they have a large variety of bottled Mexican sodas (Jarritos) as well as other bottled drinks. There are bottle openers by the registers. They also have a place to recycle your bottles when you are done. The food came out fairly quickly. Fun atmosphere. It reminds me of the Mexican food places out in the southwest.”
“Had lunch there the past couple of days and let me say the food is amazing. I had the steak fiesta burrito 2 days in a row and it was delicious. They also have a rice pudding that is so good too. Definitely would recommend stopping if you’re in the area. Food came over super fast too!!”
“It's such a great spot. We love supporting small businesses! Waitress was awesome, very personable, and attentive. Food was sooo good cheeseburgers and potato salad. You can tell it was all fresh.”
“I'll start with this...when 2 friends and I walked in, we were asked if we had a reservation, we didn't. Their only reply was, "we don't have a table available at the moment".That's it! we were turned down! We asked a few more questions were able to get a reservation for 45 min later.The food was great, the wines were delicious.The wine tasting flights were about $18.”
“All time favourite brewery.Love the vibe, the unique and thoughtful brews, attention to detail in the quality of the beer from the Ingredients, all the way to the packaging. To top it off it feels good supporting a business who made the effort to lower their carbon footprint with a solar roof!Little House is top notch”
“First, I don't normally like chocolate flourless cake. It tends to be dense and dry so not worth the calories. But this ...this cake...is everything. It's smooth and silky...unless you're allergic, you have to eat this. Your mouth will thank you! The cheesecake is light and whippy, and not too sweet, and the fruit are fresh and happy just sitting there on top with powdered sugar. You must eat have it!!”
“Was down in Clinton visiting family. I stopped in for a quick beer as I was walking past, totally on a whim. Perfect cozy dive bar on the coastline. Bartender was quick and she was quite friendly. Do not change a thing.”
“In CT, we are so lucky to be blessed with a million great pizza options- Brickside Pizza is among them in this area for sure! Great little takeout spot with big flavors! We got the Sunday Dinner with meatballs, ricotta and sauce. We also tried the prosciutto arugula pie as well! They are stocked with plenty of fox on park sodas as well to grab on the way out!”
“The food is perfection!! Being Indian myself, it’s hard to find authentic yummy food!! The owner herself made sure whatever was being served was nothing but amazing! This restaurant is a little far for me, but definitely worth the drive. The curry chicken and peeli daal are my favorite!! The service was great too! Can’t wait to go back!!”
“Really wonderful brewery in a beautiful area of Connecticut. We were here a couple of weeks ago on a very hot and humid day and had our dogs with us. Myrcene Brewery is dog friendly and allows the dogs to hang out inside (as long as they are well behaved). It was such a great oasis from the heat. Great beer (I took some home) and the atmosphere and the staff could not have been nicer. They have games too!”
“We got the spicy Italian panini. Large , Excellent and reasonable price. Sweet welcoming staff, fast efficient service. Don't be discouraged by the amount of people waiting for their order. They put order out quickly and everything is fresh. There is a lot of parking. It is a takeout. A couple bench inside and a pick-nick table outside. We will go back .”
“Jack's was recently featured on channel 3. We are big breakfast folk, so a 35 minute drive from Manchester on a sunny (cold) morning to see if the restaurant was as good as it was supposed to be was very feasible for us. In a small stip mall in Higganum, we found Jack's. Clean & inviting inside, there was a short wait which we expected (due to the publicity on TV) We looked for someone taking names (to be seated), however seeing no one, we asked one of the locals waiting and was told they just eyeball the people waiting & seat them in order of when they arrived. Within a few minutes, we were seated in a comfortable booth. All the servers were really nice. Our waitress was friendly and welcoming. Coffee poured - not bad, though not quite as strong as I like it. I had 2 slices of cinnamon French toast served with cinnamon butter. So good!!! My husband had an omelette which he said was really good too. And prices were extremely reasonable. You could tell this was a great local place, but with the channel 3 publicity, many out of town folks were discovering Jacks's. As we told our waitress, we will be back. And she said she will be looking for us”
“I've been getting my coffee from Deep River Roasters for years now, I used to roast my own or have it shipped from assorted roasters around the country. As a pretty big "coffee geek", I can say after trying everyone in CT that I have found, and quite a few places overseas, that there is no place I would rather get my coffee from. You're not going to find anyone around here with fresher roasted beans, or more care put into them. Fantastic coffee and fantastic people, who will certainly go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your coffee. Do yourself a favor and go now! Unless you're too far away, then check their website, because they also ship their beans!Parking: Huge parking lot at the Witch Hazel Works building.”
