50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Oakville

“This review is a part of my quest of visiting all CT breweries. I tried beers from Lasting Brass at bars before, but this was my first visit to the brewery.

The brewery occupies a separate building near a picturesque area with a river. It has 2 separated outdoor patios and a small area indoors. No food is served inside, but food trucks might are onsite occasionally.

I already had several favorite beers from Lasting Brass, because they were not shy to experiment with flavors. So this time I tried all beers they had on tap. Luckily, there is an option to order a small pour. I have to say, that some beers really impressed me. All the beers I tried were solid, crushable and tasty. But the special place in my heart is reserved to their flagship beers - Java Bloom (Imperial Stout) and Contusion (Sour IPA). These 2 were really bursting with flavor, that was complex and layered. On top of the beers, I thoroughly enjoyed the community in this place. It was filled with regulars, everyone knew each other and it was just a really cozy and friendly environment.

I do recommend this brewery to everyone and it is worth a dedicated trip.“

“I think my husband and I found our new go to restaurant. Food is delicious, tried the pizza last night will definitely order another pizza My husband tried the Philly Cheesesteak said best cheesesteak he has ever eaten.“

“Best Corned beef hash in the world. A cozy atmosphere and everything is so good.“

“excellent pie, right up there with the New Haven bests.“

“Great!“

“Had a great lunch today at Lebnani in Watertown, CT. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The beef shawarma and hummus were spot on, and you can really tell everything is made with care. The place has a nice, relaxed vibe, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. Definitely one of those spots you’ll want to go back to. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a great meal.“

“Such a happy accident finding this restaurant! Cozy ambiance and staff is super friendly. Our server was very attentive and our breakfast was delicious! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Outstanding restaurant! (and we do a lot of our dining in NYC!) Local 63 is an oasis in Watertown, CT in a variety of ways. The food is creative (even when the dish SOUNDS traditional). The chicken fried steak (hard to even find in New England) is outstanding. The salads were awesome: perfectly dressed with great crunch and freshness. The Cassoulet (originally a French farmhouse dish) with chicken, in-house sausage, and white beans cooked to perfection is something you will not find in many other places. Great bar--friendly atmosphere and great for large groups and celebrations. This is a hidden gem with excellent service and owners who obviously care! I will go back and bring many other guests here when I have a chance.“

“Very friendly, and great service. I would recommend this diner. The burger’s and fries were delicious 😋“

“Best pizza ever. Even better Pepes“

“Food and servers are exceptional! The owners are exceptionally kinda d generous! You can sit and talk with friends,and the servers will not rush you out! Such kind and thoughtful people. The place is spotless!“

“this is the BEST MEXICAN FOOD truck. I love their tacos and burritos. they have added metal covering over the area where you place your order and over an area outside where you can sit and eat. you can also go inside where there are tables and plenty of toppings for your food. it's clean. there is a bathroom also. LOS GARCIA IS THE PLACE TO GO“

“We hosted our event at 1754 House and it was magical. The ambiance, food, and staff were all exceptional. Guests are still raving. Highly recommend for any special occasion!“

The food & the Venue are truly special just like Kendal along with the rest of the crew! It's always a pleasure going their for a nice evening or working there... The Place is a hidden gem!“

“We went Saturday with a family of 10 for breakfast. The food was delicious but what made it a special time was our server Leanne. Very friendly and attentive to everyone's needs. Thank you, Parkside Cafe.“

“Absolutely the best lunch we have ever had. Staff exceptional and Chef over the top. We will definitely be back for many more lunches. All of you are top of the line oh and the food is unbelievable“

“I so far have only had Breakfast several times and it’s Outstanding!! Great Service, Cozy place loved it!! will be back for lunches & dinners Yum!! 😎“

“Beer is good but we are saddened that they will no longer have the card purchase for $50 for 11 beers. It was a good value. This may deter us from coming. If it is not working for black hog maybe raise price of card a little? We love the beer but beer is becoming expensive at all of the breweries. May stop coming out to the establishments unfortunately.“

“So I have to give so much praise to this winery. First off Jeff is absolutely amazing. I reached out to him back in Feburary asking about using the winery to get married in April and Jeff was so easy to talk to and was so easy to make plans with so I had the best day. Second off a huge shoutout to the staff of the winery. I was married on April 13th 2024 and it was rainy, windy, and incredibly cold. They let us get married on their deck and out of the rain no questions asked. I went back today on 4/15 to pick up a bottle of wine because I want to have it to drink on my one year wedding anniversary of a wonderful memory of the beautiful place we got married at. The ladies behind the bar were so kind and helped me pick the best wine to my liking. Thank you so much for giving me a beautiful place to get married and a beautiful place to have created beautiful memories with those I love the most. Thank you again Jeff and crew for making this bride incredibly happy. ***Edit to add I got married April of 2024. My feelings are still the same about this beautiful establishment.***“

“I got take out. It was amazing sushi and the hibachi noodles were a hit. One thing of note, absolutely do not park next door. There are signs but I assumed since I was just running in it would be fine. It was not. My friend waiting in the car immediately was descended upon in the literal 90 seconds it took me to grab my food and told with much intensity to move the car immediately. They really have adequate parking at SushiQ, I just overshot their driveway. Enjoy a delicious meal!“

“Had the potato and caramelized onion pierogis and the chicken schnitzel sandwich and everything was delicious. Nick the owner was so nice! Greeted me with a smile and explained everything that came with the pierogis ♥️ he made my entire day with his kindness honestly“

“Awesome food, service and staff are great.. everyone is so friendly“

“This place is amazing! Unreal scenery, the food is top notch, the best drinks, friendliest staff. The new ownership really turned this place around!“

“jimmys food is excellent! however I was there for the 1st time last week, our waitress was not friendly with us. no personality, no smile..brought our food put it down walked away, said nothing. then 5 mins later, as she was walking by the table threw the receipt down, said nothing. Never came to see if we needed anything else or how the food was, she never offered desert, so we didn't get that. I had to go to the counter and ask for a box, as again she never came back to the table. there were only a few tables full, so she wasn't overly busy, meanwhile I'm watching the other waitress there, smile and laugh with her customers. I wish I knew her name, because she definitely needs to learn people skills. ohh I also heard her complaining to a customer who she must've known, about her training someone and now the other girl is waiting tables and she was not happy that this girl was doing her job basically 🙄“

“Great food and excellent service! I’ve eaten at Mirabelle’s many times and the food has always been great! Highly recommend this restaurant. You won’t be disappointed.“

“I had my Birthday dinner at john’s cafes and it was really delicious,I would highly recommend it for any occasion, love eating there ❤️❤️💯💯“

“We visited Walker Road Vineyards today after seeing the sign while driving through the countryside and we cannot recommend it enough. The scenery was beautiful. The barn gave it a rustic feel and the wine was delicious. My husband and I had the rose and it was superb. Also the owners were incredibly kind and took the time to talk to us about the history of the vineyard and they walked around talking to other people too. What really made it special was them taking the time to talk to my kids and make them feel important! Let’s keep small businesses like this alive. We will definitely be going back in the future!“

“Our “home brewery”. If you are looking for great beer, a quieter atmosphere and a true family run spot this is the place. We always feel welcome, the vibe is wonderful and there are usually rotating food trucks. Often there is live music.“

“My wife and I travel back and forth between where we live in the Catskills and where she’s from in Rhode Island.

This was our 2nd visit for dinner to break up the trip a little and it definitely won’t be our last.

We LOVE Sultan’s because we’re guaranteed incredible service, food and atmosphere. Such a treat!

(As a side note, the restrooms are impeccably clean!)“

“We went out for a quiet dinner with our daughter and had a very nice dinner at Diorio's in Waterbury, ct. the restaurant has been around for many years and truly is a landmark in the center of the city. In our experience we always look forward to dinner at Diorio's. The atmosphere with old fashioned dining booths and impressive bar. The restaurant experience was very good as always and undoubtably return with our family.“

“We have been to Uncommon many times and the food is always amazing and we have always had a great experience all around but I want to say we had the absolute best service here tonight so I wanted to thank our server Justin D. for an outstanding dining experience tonight. Justin was professional and has a really fun personality. Even though the restaurant was crazy busy we never had to ask for anything, Justin was just there anytime we needed anything. The support staff also did an amazing job tonight as well keeping the table clear of empty glasses and dishes and running food. Just an over all lovely experience.“
