“EXCEPTIONAL Italian deli. Cool little place and very friendly.”

“Wow, just amazing Italian Ice. Came here on our way back from the beach. Wonderful, helpful staff asking if we wanted to try any flavors. Do yourself a favor and drop in. You will not be disappointed. Rainbow flavor is highly recommended”

“Came here for the first time today. I've been wanting to try for awhile. Amazing place. Love the menu! So many different things to choose from. Tons of veggie options. I had a veggie melt with broccoli, eggplant, onions, sundried tomatoes and cheese. It was amazing! If you haven't been, great eats for breakfast and lunch!”

“My appreciation for this bountiful bakery grows stronger every time they introduce me to something new and delicious!”

“Great place to go for a beer, cocktail, band or an appetizer. Their prime rib Wednesday is phenomenal!!!”

“Wandered in with a friend. We were looking for a quiet place to have a drink. Sat at the bar. The pinot noir was yummy so we stayed for another. Atmosphere warm and cozy. Service excellent. Stayed for dinner. Had the tagliarini with seared scallops. Amazingly good. I'm trying to figure out when I can go back. Glad to hear they are extending their hours to 7 days a week”

“Fantastic beer. Nice atmosphere.”

“Very good dining experience. food, service and atmosphere get a big thumbs up 👍”

“Coming home this afternoon from a class at the Y, I thought about what to have for lunch. As I approached the light in Deep River, I decided to stop and see what the nest had to offer. I came home with a warm ham and Bree sandwich on a beautiful brioche bun and it did not disappoint. It was truly a treat on this chilly day as I continue with their warm chi latte made with almond milk. Lucky to have them close by! Sosse Baker”

“This was my first visit and I really enjoyed it.
I was concerned because it was a Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. and I just knew it would be busy and we may not get seated right away; we were seated as soon as we walked in.

Our server was very attentive.

The food arrived within 10 / 15 minutes

When going to most breakfast places for a first time especially, I always go for my go-to, which is the eggs benedict.

To be honest when my eggs benedict and home fries arrived, the holidays looked a bit different than I am used to at most places and I was unsure about how it would be, taste-wise.
I really enjoyed it and I ate every bite. I always get my English muffins toasted extra for that crunch and so they don't end up too soggy.
Perfect amount of Hollandaise and the home fries were good as well.

Tasty coffee, which matters because you would be surprised or not, that a lot of breakfast places don't serve super good coffee. ?

I will definitely come back, thank you Bree for introducing me to this breakfast/lunch spot and thank you Tina for your exceptional service.
There was another young lady there who was our actual server and I am so sorry I did not get her name. She was great as well!

I paid for breakfast and with the tip it was around $40

I did not take a picture of my blueberry pancake which I saved for the next morning. Yummm”

“Big shout out to Da Vinci's from the Valley Volleyball team - thanks for bringing free pizzas to feed the girls at their car wash yesterday! Hot and delicious, as always!”

“We are new business owners in deep river and we now have found our new favorite local pizza place for our family. Try the chicken Alfredo it's really good!!”

“The coffee is always made just right, the people are especially time efficient and kind, and the space is usually calm with clean tables. Good Dunkin! Only wish is that there were french crullers available (if they are they haven't been out while I've visited)”

“Excellent food. Owner on site regularly. Buttermilk fried chicken is excellent. Great specials. A local favorite.”

“This place is so nice it wasn’t busy when we came but the person who took our order was sweet. I got the fried chicken BLT and man is it so good. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for something quick.”

“Chelsey does it right. Ambiance, staff/service, food quality/quantity, and pricing. Brunch, happy hour, dinner...everything excellent. With so many mediocre restaurants out there, Village Bistro makes dining out truly special. And...Chelsey makes the most creative delicious drinks! Thank you for a consistently excellent experience!”

“Hi everyone! 🍕 I recently had a delightful experience at a local brick oven pizza place named PRIVATEERS and just had to share it with you all! The chicken capris is absolutely delicious, and the staff there, especially our server, was incredibly kind and welcoming. It’s wonderful to support our local businesses, and this place truly deserves a shoutout for their amazing food and service. Highly recommend giving them a try if you haven’t yet! 🌟”

“Fantastic pizza! I'm pretty picky with pizza..I was impressed. service was great too! 👍🏼”

“Full disclosure: I am biased. I have many fond childhood memories of Madison, so I really wanted to love this place. We used to rent a house for the summer literally right around the block. I last ate at a previous incarnation of this restaurant back in the 1980s, and it was okay but not great, pricey because of its prime location on the water but nothing to write home about. Not so in 2025! I'm thrilled to report that it is now one of the best dining experiences I've had in the Madison area in years. The pork tenderloin, duck and clam chowder were all outstanding, the service was excellent, and oh that view! To cap it all off, very reasonable prices. Far too many restaurants charge a premium for the waterfront location but fail to deliver on the really important stuff. But these guys definitely deliver. So for the foreseeable future, whenever my travels take me through Madison, this will be my first choice for dinner.”

“This is definitely the place for a special dining experience. The menu, quality of food, service — all top notch. Thanks to The Essex team for making our anniversary amazing!”

“Great food. We were 4 and ordered: Penne ala Vodka GREAT Carbonara GREAT Special Burger GREAT Meat Lovers Pizza PERFECT CRUST”

“Two Wrasslin’ Cats! What a fun and amazing place! Tucked away in the beautiful countryside in East Haddam, we found a sweet, colorful café that’s all about cats… but actually, it’s about so much more. To sum it up in a word, Two Wrasslin Cats is about love, love for all people, love for equality peace, and freedom, love of good food AND love for cats! I mean… they had me at cats, the rest? Merely an amazing bonus! We started out in the café, a fun, eclectic space decorated with cat memorabilia and a menu of cat-themed homemade, gourmet sandwiches. This is not your junky pre-made stuff! The sandwiches were fresh and delicious. My veggie wrap was full of fresh flavorful roasted veggies and my friend had a great tuna sandwich. Our coffee drinks were expertly crafted and not too sweet. We came for the cats, but we really enjoyed the food! After lunch, we waited a few minutes to get in to visit with the cats, a gorgeous family of six littermate siblings that have grown up together at Two Wrasslin’ Cats. These kitties know their role is to be calm and chill and to welcome pets and indulgence from strangers and they do it very well! What nice, sweet, peaceful felines. It was a pleasure to meet each one. We got a chance to speak with the owner about his beautiful and unique mission and his passion shines through with every word. What a pleasure. Guests are asked to make a donation when they visit the kitties and the money goes to help spay and neuter feral cats in the local area - a great cause. Our visit to Two Wrasslin Cats was great fun. If you’re in the area, definitely stop by for lunch and some quality time with the kitties. While you’re there, drop a little extra in the donation box to help further this fabulous mission.”

“1st time customer, craving Fish & Chips. Excellent meal, obviously fresh and very tender fish. Brandy (the pooch) gives 4 paws up with a tongue smack too!! Delish!”

“Such great service but even more so, the chefs are incredible with their creativity and delivery of unique and delicious food. Liv's is an oasis away from home....they do so much to make dinner special every time. Thank you all.”

“Very clean and great food!”

“Always amazing food! We love the owners!”

“Excellent coffee and bagels. Top notch service. The owners and staff couldn’t be friendlier. If you’re near Westbrook looking for a coffee shop, I fully recommend Julie’s Cup of Joe!”

“Just tried the vegan chocolate and vegan lemon blueberry. May I just say they were both outstanding...creamy, rich and delicious. Well done Honeycone Cream Co. 🥰 I will definitely be a repeat customer. Husband had a vanilla milkshake and he said it was really good.”

“Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing ambiance. Chamard is one of our absolute favorites. The burger is perfection and they have the best fries in the state! Kerry Ann is always so warm and welcoming- we love it there!”

“Went to my family's engagement party yesterday and someone brought these cute wedding ring decorated sugar cookies. I must say, they are by far the best sugar cookies I have ever had! The design alone was beautiful by itself, but the cookie was so soft and moist, it's hard to find a great tasting sugar cookie that isn't too hard or crumbles to the touch or even too sweet! The Sweet Baker nailed it! I simply cannot wait to try more of their treats if the sugar cookies are this great!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
