Restaurants near East Haddam

“My wife and I stopped in today and ordered a Catprese and the Calico Club, along with the shrimp corn chowder, which were all delicious!! The owner Mark was very nice, asking where we were from and what brought us there. I explained we were on a daytrip to CT and had seen good reviews and buzz on Google. We were also curious about the "cat cafe" experience and he said we'd come to the right place. After we finished our lunch, we were taken to a separate room with six adorable (mostly sleeping but still loving) cats and proceeded to give pets and loves!! Thank you for the great experience, Mark and staff, and we will DEFINITELY return in the future!!”

“Ciders are all so delicious and they let you sample before you buy which is a big plus. Kevin and co. were so friendly and accommodating! I can’t recommend enough. Thank you from the Canadian girls!”

“The pizza is the best I’ve had East of the Connecticut River. It can get busy & the waitstaff must hustle to keep the takeout line, tables, phone, & register moving. Worth the drive from East Hampton.”

“What a beautiful evening we had at the Village Bistro!! The atmosphere was beyond charming! We were pleasantly greeted and the service was exceptional (rare nowadays). The menu choices were original, with a wide variety of options. Everything we had was exceptional! The pricing was consistent with other restaurants of this caliber. Whether you’re there for a quick, after work meal, or, you’re celebrating a special occasion, you will find some thing on this menu that will suit your moment. A must try!! We highly recommend the Village Bistro!!”

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

“Just ate at Two Brothers Cafe for breakfast with a friend. What a delight. The veggie omelet specialty sandwich was delicious, service was great, prices were competitive, the atmosphere was bright and spacious and it looked as though both brothers were there. They were super warm and welcoming. I don’t always post reviews (good or bad) but I felt like I needed to here. Give it a try. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. What a welcome addition to our small town.”

“Consistently great every time!!”

“Friendly staff, good food and scenic outdoor area”

“My Buddy brought me here for the first time and I’ve been addicted ever since. Staff is super friendly, the Italian ice is the best I’ve ever had, and my my favorite local restaurant. Seriously, 10/10 to anyone passing through or anyone local”

“I had such a great time at Arrigoni for Mother's Day. The wine slushies were delicious, the staff is nice, the band and ambiance were great. An outstanding experience all around.”

“So glad we found this gem slightly off the beaten path. Hands down one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. Awesome crispy home fries and great homemade fare. Thanks for a fabulous meal, we will 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.”

“best breakfast in Connecticut!!!!”

“Informative, hands on practice, very relaxed and fun!!! Highly recommend this workshop. Stephanie is terrific!”

“If I was rating our experience based on our first time going here, it would be 5 stars. Our second visit was not as great as the first. Unfortunately the service lacked, incredibly, our second time here. We watched our waitress go above and beyond for all tables seated around us (similar to the waitress our first time here). When our waitress got to our table, she didn’t ask if it was our first time dining with them (as we’d heard her ask 2 other tables), she didn’t offer to explain any of the specials (as we’d heard her tell the other tables), her demeanor and tone visibly shifted from cheery to monotone each time she got to our table, and she didn’t check in with us throughout our meal. It was incredibly odd. Maybe she wrongly assumed since we are on the younger end of their typical clientele, my husband is covered in tattoos, and we had our young child with us, that she wouldn’t be tipped well?! Not sure. But her service definitely left us with a sour taste towards Grano Arso, which is so unfortunate since we enjoyed our first visit there. My husband left her a 40% tip as he usually does when we dine out; perhaps she won’t be so judgy towards others in the future.”

“This is a great spot to have incredible beers, an amazing staff, and all around awesome atmosphere. I recommend you stop by and see for yourself why this is an award winning brewery.”

“Absolutely love this place extra friendly staff super helpful and caring prices are good for the portion I had the Bronx it was delicious this is my second one and they were both equally good. Thank you very much two thumbs up ? ?”

“My husband and I tried this place for first time for a breakfast date. The ambience is very cozy, and the food and service are magnificent! We will be going again and will recommend this cute spot to others.”

“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”

“Great atmosphere and even better being dog friendly. The beer is good and so fresh. I’ll certainly be taking a trip there again. As I write this. I’m enjoying a Hop of Shame double IPA at home. (so darn easy drinking, almost dangerous) The people we met were awesome and we enjoyed the music of Jeremy Haddad, which made it that much better.”

“Cool place, nice people! Had an internet outage situation for a business meeting and they saved me even though they weren't open. Support them, beer is great too!! 🍻”

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

“Was a great breakfast for decent price and atmosphere”

“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.”
