“Had a great meal as always at Liv's! We love the food and service. When we arrived it was a little chilly, we notified our server we were cold and it seemed others were too and he requested the manager increase the temperature a little. After that, everything was perfect! One little nitpick is the tables are very sticky. We noticed it last time too. Not sure whether the coating failed or what. They were not ‘dirty' just sticky. Other than that, the food was amazing. My wife and daughter both had a Halibut special. My daughter had the cauliflower soup which I tried and it was spectacular! I had the tuna tartare and a ribeye and they did not disappoint! Certainly am amazing meal and great service. Thanks Liv's!“

“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!“

“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!“

HIGH NINE Brewing Brewery •
6 Winter Ave suite 7, Deep River - 2.4 miles

“The girls and I did a little shopping and then brewery hoping last weekend. The location was easy to find. There's seating outdoors and indoors. The building appears to have been an old warehouse. Inside is a spacious area with plenty of hangout space, tables, booths, Foosball and Darts. We decided to drink at the bar. We were greeted by a young man who placed coasters for our drinks and a menu to read. They also have a large chalkboard that can be changed when needed. He gave us a welcoming smile and some time to go over the menu. I decided on the Bubbly, a Peach-Grapefruit Seltzer. Mine was a light and refreshing drink. Sara tried the Purple Beer and Robin ordered the beautiful flight of beers. Prices were right and the drinks were great.“

I had the asparagus soup and spring salad. Both were excellent. I thought 27$ was a bit high but it was a wonderful burger and came with pomme frites and salad.“

“After a fabulous day of plant shopping, my mother and I were driving home and on a whim decided to stop in old Saybrook for lunch. So we parked on the main drag, got out of her car and immediately got on Google to see what restaurants were available in the vicinity. We quickly decided to try out Mirsina’s Restaurant not only because it looked like a lovely spot, but we both love Greek food. And boy were we in for a treat! Even though it was midafternoon on a Wednesday, the place was hopping. Right away we had a feeling we made a good decision. But then it got even better. The staff was crazy friendly, the food was amazing (all I can say is that we had the BEST Spanakopita of our lives . . . And the rice pudding? heavenly!). And the price? Just check out the menu - what a bargain! I wish that Mirsina’s Restaurant had a place in Stonington (Mystic CT) we would go once a week. So do yourself a favor, try this place out; I am convinced you will love it as much as we did. And tell them Heather and Sara sent you!“

They have a good, and often rotating selection of beers, and the food I have tried has been good, and what I saw on other people's tables looked good. Definitely quality snacking to keep you drinking! The bartender was exceptionally friendly, and while juggling the crowd still made time to chat with us about beers and breweries. I have only been by a few times now, but it always makes me want to visit more often.Parking: Large parking lot in a plaza.“

“This place is great. I bring my kids here all the time for a "treat" that is actually very healthy. They love the smoothies, particularly the PB and Whey. I've probably been twenty times since I've moved to Madison and I get the Nutty Bowl every time, it's just too good! The ingredients are always super fresh and the employees are upbeat and friendly. My wife has started getting their oat bowls and says they're delicious. Sitting outside is great in the warmer months, not a ton of seating inside.“

Staff was super nice and friendly, they greeted us right away. They had a menu for Valentine's Day and looked so good we decided to try 2 drinks and share a breakfast sandwich. Our coffee drinks were very good, I had a hot mocha and my daughter opted for an iced special. Our California sandwich had boiled egg and a spicy spread with apple slices on the side.

Eggs were cold. Not much avocado on the avocado toast. No condiments except ketchup. Had to ask for salt and pepper. Plenty of parking round the boatyard . Many many stairs .
