“Server was great and accommodating. Food was great! Will definitely visit again!“

“The other day my husband and I took a ride along the shore.
Along the way we stopped in at the Madison Beach Hotel’s “Wharf” restaurant for a quick lunch. We were graciously met by the pleasant hostess, Carmela. She immediately sat us on the porch overlooking the water.
The view of Long Island Sound that day, along with the perfect weather made it a perfect backdrop for a delightful meal. My husband had the fish and chips and said it was one of the best fish and chips he has ever had.
I had the french baguette ham sandwich. It was delish. Our servers were terrific. All in all, it was a terrific experience. We had a great meal and a lovely time! ☀️ 🏖️“

“Excellent!! Crab cake appetizer was the "best I've ever had" according to my son. There were four of us and all were very pleased. I've been twice and looking forward to going back. This restaurant is definitely the place to go when you want to take your time between courses and enjoy the food and people you are with. I like the 20% service charge(tip) added to bill. Keeps paying thoughtless as service is excellent. 5 stars on everything!“

“You will never leave hungry! All of their entrées are delicious and to die for. Portions are really overly big and the atmosphere is very cozy. This restaurant is in a real log cabin with a cozy fireplace during the Fall and Winter months. I give them five stars plus.“

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

“Stopped by Ed's Place and had the Hot Chick Sandwich with a side of coleslaw both were absolutely delicious! The sandwich was flavorful and cooked perfectly, and the coleslaw was fresh and a great complement to the meal. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly, personable, and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. Great food, great people, and a great experience. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Gayle at What's Cookin catered my mother-in-law's 80th birthday party, and the food—especially the variety of sandwich wraps—was both delicious and beautifully presented. Gayle was incredibly responsive and even added a personal touch to the display when she learned my mother was a lifelong equestrian. Her helpful and friendly service made the event special, and I highly recommend What’s Cookin for any occasion.“

“I loved their seared tuna salad and sea salt caramel hot chocolate!“

“Friends and Co is on heavy rotation for date night (Thursday) and we've never had a bad experience. There is a cozy little nook in the main dining room that we love, but last night it was taken (they were super busy!) so we were seated next to the fireplace. So cozy!!! It's my new favorite spot, at least in the winter.
Food is always delicious, service is always top notch and friendly, and we've never had a single complaint. There is a traditional bar area as well, but I have never visited that side. It looks cozy too though!
If you're looking for a comfy place to bring family or friends for a pleasant and relaxed evening, Friends is a great choice.“

“Wanted to take a second to share my opinion and experience at Donahue’s. I can’t say enough good about our experience. We were super impressed with the service, the food and the staff. What impressed me most was the owner. He was right there to help his staff and actually served us our meal. He was very kind and welcoming. I will definitely return and highly recommend this establishment. Thank you.“

“We had the most amazing meal sent to our hotel. Tuna crudo, crab salad, strip steak and zabaione; ( custard desert). It was delicious. If you can try his cooking“

“My husband and I had a very nice Mother's Day dinner at Cafe Routier. We have been going to the Cafe Routier for 25 years and it has been consistently excellent. The hanger steak is delicious and always cooked exactly as requested-medium rare. I loved the Shrimp and Scallops Spring Pasta, which was cooked to perfection.“

“Super glad we stumbled upon this place. the food was great, but more importantly the people were kind and welcoming. It made our day.“

“amazing pastas! great drink selection“

“It's a Friday night and we're meeting up with some friends! One of them suggested Marker 37 for a variety of reasons and today, we're going to find out why! Here's how things went for me during my visit. Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on the Connecticut River in Chester, CT connected to its own marina is this gem. Reservations are recommended especially in the summertime since THIS is the place where you wanna be. We were here in early April so things hadn't quite picked up, but at least the snow was gone and we didn't need to wear super heavy coats. The parking lot is massive so if it's busy you'll be walking for a minute before you get to the door. But once inside it's pretty modern, chill and relaxed. The decor isn't over-the-top. Everything is straight-edged and just... almost minimalistic. However, we sat in the patio area that was certainly heated so we could see the view of the water while the sun set. It was a wide-open setting and I'm very glad the restaurant didn't smash too many tables and chairs in there. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but I don't remember having any issues throughout dinner. It was fairly slow so I didn't expect any hold-ups. Food/Drinks: I started off with an old-fashioned which was fine. Nothing crazy. Next up was a New England clam chowder which is perfectly seasoned and flavorful. Textures were good and so were the seasonings. Spot-on. For dinner I went with their Prime Rib! It came out perfectly medium-rare with a side of fingerling potatoes, grilled squash, au jus and horseradish sauce. It was good. Just... kinda not exciting. :-/ Maybe I should've gone the seafood route since we were on the water. But no matter. Value: Not too crazy here. It's a nice restaurant, but prices aren't out of control. You can totally come here to chill, have a drink and an app or a full-on family dinner and not be upset at the final bill. In conclusion I liked it here, just not enough to want to drive all the way out here again. Would I come back? Sure, if I were invited by friends and stuff, but I highly encourage you reading this to pay this place a visit and enjoy the views! Thank you for reading.“

“5 of us went for lunch yesterday, Haley & the kitchen knocked it out of the park. None of the other guys had ever been before,all said they'd be back. So laid back, not at all stuffy. Don't ever change.“

“Great atmosphere ! Amazing staff“

“The food was amazing. Beautiful restaurant. The service was just a bit awkward. It was almost like they were annoyed we were there. Our initial server who took our order was very kind and attentive, but after him, the other two waitresses seemed put out and almost rushed us out. Hopefully it was just an off hand experience because other than that we loved the restaurant!“

“Delicious food- lovely ambience“
