“Awesome food and great craft beer list. Very knowledgeable staff about craft beers and wine. Great food and and a great value. Very cute, friendly waitreses. Truly great beer selection, not just the usual 5 different hazy NE IPA most places put up as their craft beer. There was 1 Belgian, 2 Germans, a bourbon barrel aged beer, as well as few Excellent Local beers. Do yourself a flavor, go for the beer and stay for the delicious food.Highly recommended!“
“The Barnwood is our go to for occasions as well just to eat out. The wait staff are very good . Our orders always arrive promptly, and as ordered. In addition to a well rounded menu there always are wonderful specials. We have never had a meal that we didn't like. The chef is inventive and steps outside of the ordinary with fish and meat selections. The only negative is that the acoustics are dreadful making it noisy when the restaurant fills up.Also the tables for two are small.“
“Marketplace in Newtown provided an exceptional venue for my bridal shower. Sebastian and Ashley, our servers, offered impeccable service with a warm demeanor. Manager Erick went above and beyond, being incredibly kind, reassuring, supportive, and helpful throughout the entire process!The ambiance was delightful, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend for any special occasion!“
“Had a lovely time at Dragonfly on Thursday night. Food was hot when served, dinner was definitely worth the price. The vibe was very intimate and romantic with ambiance / twinkle lighting. Our server Ryan was very helpful being it was our first time here. We came just for the Periogies and they are a must try! Will also recommend the pistachio martini if you have a sweet tooth for desert. Will be coming back !“
“I’m trying to put into words how absolutely incredible brunch at @jlawrencect was. If I had to rate from 0 - 10, I’d give it a 10 without any hesitation. @jlawrencect just recently opened so their space is brand new and beautifully decorated! The drinks were perfectly made, the food was delicious (seriously the tastiest brunch food I’ve had yet!) and the staff made our experience and time there wonderful! My top picks Drink - J. Law Mimosa Starter - Shareable warm donuts Entree - Main Lobster Egg Benny (with home fries) Dessert - Cookie dough with ice cream Definitely make sure to visit them. Perfect Sunday brunch with friends and or family ❤️“
“A bit of a drive for me, but well worth it. The food was good, drinks were flowing. The restaurant was nicely decorated inside. Bathrooms were clean (always a plus). Waitstaff was pleasant. Order the Brisas Old Fasioned for the tableside presentation. Tacos pescado were crispy and flaky, pickled onions added the perfect amout of acid. Using plantains as the "bun" for the juicy beef sliders was a unique take on a pub favorite. Chips and quac didn't disappoint. Will visit again. Well worth the hour long drive in the cold rain.Parking: More spaces on the side and behind the restaurant.“
“We were hearing lots of great things about Casa Oaxaca. We stopped in on a Taco Tuesday. Plenty of parking in the lot. Really great decor. Plenty of seating on both sides of the restaurant including a nice bar area. There’s also a tv in the bar area for sporting events. Very clean restaurant and a great staff. When we were leaving, I noticed the tortillas being made fresh in the front of the restaurant. Made the experience even better.The food is amazing. They start you off with chips and salsa. We came during happy hour on a Taco Tuesday. We wanted to get a little of everything to try. Everything had great flavors. My favorite taco we had were the Carnitas. Really delicious chimichangas with a fresh guacamole. The empanadas were fried perfectly. The were filled to capacity. It was not like other places that put a little meat in the middle and it’s mostly shell. To end the night we ordered churros. Freshly fried with chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Really finished off the great experience. Definitely looking forward to coming back soon.“
“Great selection of craft beer lots of IPA's.typical pub food prepared off site but close by. Live entertainment, karaoke and trivia. Can be crowded and therefore quite noisyUpdate: Thursday 7/13, 6:15 pm. Very quiet, plenty of seating at both, bar and table. Expanded menu, but took longer to arrive, maybe because off site preparation site opened for dinner.3/17/24 UPDATE. 6:00 pm. Birthday party in progress, but, tables available. Service was a bit slow but there was a crowd.“
“This was my 1st time eating in. The service was wonderful. Melody was beyond pleasant, attentive & accommodating. I ordered chicken & waffles which was great. We ordered the homemade gelato - strawberry & vanilla - but it tasted like ice cream vs gelato (not creamy & smooth) but still was fine. I will say though, even for brunch, it's so loud. The acoustics aren't the best in this space. I prefer to not have to raise my voice or lean across the table to interact w/my party. Also, they only had milk or cream for their cappuccino. It would be great to have @ least 1 alternative milk option (I love oat but anything-soy, almond,...). I would definitely return though as overall it was a pleasant experience.“
“The lodge reminds me a lot of cheers! You walk in, and everyone starts to know your name… The weight staff is always very friendly and often strike up a conversation which I find something special these days. The food options are always great, and there are always a few specials on the list that catch someone’s eye. The draft beer choices are always rotating and changing which is great; often locally sourced. The bar area is always bustling, and offers a free pool table for patrons. There is also a large covered outdoor dining area for fair weather eating.“
“What a hidden gem! Portobello is our new favorite in Brookfield. I can definitely see why they were voted the number 1 pizza in town! The clams oreganata were such a delicious appetizer, and all of the food was just fantastic. Great presentations and quality homemade food, with a creative list of cocktails too! Friendly staff in a clean, welcoming environment. We’ll be back!“
“Always an amazing time spent at Spice. The owner is so personable. You feel at home. The Purri and Naan are amazing. Every dish is breath taking and spice is definitely present. The symphony of flavors is delectable!!! The samosas are great and the vegetarian dishes delightful. The ginger martini is worth a try...“
“Clean, open, and fun place for dinner. I love that they give you complimentary bread and they had some fun drink specials for St. Patrick's day. The nachos were definitely loaded. I would prefer the guac to come on the side not already put on top as the extras I took home didn't last well. The shepherds pie was very tasty!“
“Our friends recently moved into this area, and this is our second time here and will not be our last. We are here and it was delicious. The smash burger is oh so messy, but oh so worth it. My chicken sandwich was grilled to perfection, and it was a generous sandwich, enough to share. They have award winning wings, and I can see why, they are very unique and delicious. You should really give them a go, especially the PB & J coating. Staff are super nice, and we had to leave just as an awesome two piece band started up, and they sounded great. Can’t wait to see it in the summer.“
“The pub also has a wide selection of beers on tap, including Irish favorites and they also a variety of American beers available, as well as wines and cocktails.O'Connor's Public House is a great place to go for a casual meal with friends or family. It's also a popular spot for live music, so be sure to check the schedule before you go.“
“This place is always delicious. Fresh, well cooked, and just the right amount. I've always had lovely wait staff and I like the setting- on a chilly night the fireplaces are a nice touch! Their weekend brunch is a great time too. So good!“
“Our family tried Osteria Romana for the 1st time in Monroe on Easter Sunday. A challenging time to be first trying a restaurant. There were little things here and there that kept this from being a 5 star experience. When we arrived the parking lot was filled. There was a valet but we were skeptical because I did not notice the guy had a sign, pin, or jacket stating he was the valet. Luckily it was legit. When I checked in early they were of course not ready for us. I asked would they come out and call us once our table was ready? I was told No and to keep checking back. I kind of felt like since there was no where to wait inside. They should have at least come got us when our table was ready. Our reservation was for 7 people @ 4pm and our table was ready at 4:15pm. It's fine it was Easter and they were busy. At one point our waiter left, and it took a bit before a new waiter came over. All the staff we encountered were very friendly. For appetizers my husband had the octopus salad, I got the mini meatballs. My husband was skeptical about the grilled lettuce but actually enjoyed it. The mini meatballs came in a cute bowl with a nice added touch of a wooden spoon and was really good. Our main courses were seafood risotto for him and prosecco chicken for me. He ate every last bite of his seafood. I tasted his risotto which was cooked nicely. The sauce for my chicken made my chicken cutlets not crispy but it had nice flavor. Desserts: Chocolate Lava cake with ice cream and pistachio cheesecake. Both heavenly and sweet (but not too sweet). Wish we were offered coffee or cappuccino. But I guess its good they didnt because we were all ready to get up and moving. Hope to try their brunch with my husband or smaller group soon.“
“The Women's Club of Brookfield went to Happy Hour we had a group of 12. The service was outstanding. the menu for happy hour offered a wide variety something for everyone. The food was delicious. We did wish they allowed our group one big table as we were split into two table we could not all socialize properly. It is after all the reason we get together. We'd like to go back if this could be corrected. Overall a great value“
“Coming here for the first time since it was 1st & 10 and was thoroughly impressed. The food was very good and was very reasonably priced. The service was very good, shout-out Morgan! The only surprise was that it wasn’t more packed. Will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family.“
“We’ve been going to the Rat for 40 years but the food, service and atmosphere has not been nearly as good as it has the last few years since the new ownership took over. Do yourself a favor and stop in at this Southbury landmark! The waitstaff, bar staff and management will certainly take care of you!“
“Service was real slow. Did not make reservations so they sat us at high table with cold breeze hitting us every time a person walked in. That wasn’t enjoyable at all. Place got busy real quick after we had been sitting for a while.Food was delicious. Chicken parm was good and sauce was good. Beet salad was also very good.$80 total bill with tip for two w two lemonades. So not the cheapest but what is these days.We will return but next time make reservation so we can sit at a table“
“Pretty good bar for cocktails in Newtown center. The cocktails were creative- I got the non regurts which had a yogurt base. While the cocktail was very good, it still had a very strong mezcal taste. I'm not a huge mezcal fan and wouldn't have gotten this but the waitress promised that the other ingredients in the drink would mask the smokey taste, it did not. I then went back to my go to cocktail and ordered a dirty martini. The waitress explained that they took their house marinated olives and muddled it in so you get an extra dirty martini and she was right on this one, I enjoyed very much. Overall, a very nice place to drink on a Saturday night especially because they have live music after 8p!“
