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.“

LOS GARCIA IS THE PLACE TO GO“

“We had the pleasure of dining here for the first time this evening! WOW! How have we not tried this restaurant until now?!! Exceptional dining experience! Started with smoked wings and the shishito peppers, which were out of this world good! Fish and chips with fries done in duck fat, Mac n cheese with short rib was soooo good with the Gouda cheese! Julia was an amazing server! It is difficult to find even a good dining experience these days…we would rate this one as exceptional!“

“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.“

“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.“

“All things aside the Vyne is definitely a very special place. A Beautiful Wedding Venue & an Amazing Restaurant! 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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.***“

“Came from Maine, and had a great time, absolutely beautiful family, food and sushi were amazing, and the fried rice is to die for. Everything here seems fresh, and that’s amazing and unexpected. Amazing service and cheap for what we got. We will most likely be back tomorrow for takeout! Only thing is, it’s small but comfortable when you sit down. I hope this business thrives!“

“I have eaten at Sultan‘s multiple times and brought friends. It is hard to overestimate the quality of the food. But if you like Turkish food, then this is the place for you. I would also like to shout out Oguzhan, Who has been my server the last few times I’ve eaten there. If you have ever traveled in Europe and eaten in the better restaurants, you understand that waiters take the job seriously. That is what the service is like at Sultan. Oguzhan in particular is friendly accommodating and very professional. The only criticism I have of this place is that their wine list does not do justice to their food. They should kick that up a notch. But I will look forward to going back regardless“

“I love getting my chicken shawarma for lunch. Along with indoor dining they have a cute outdoor patio. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, I always enjoy stopping by to pick up some snacks and hookah products. Definitely one of the best halal food store/restaurants in Waterbury.“

“We really like the food, service and atmosphere! Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“my boyfriend brought me here and let me tell you the food was awesome. We come here a lot , so the owner always says hi. This is the spot. if you want some flavorful food ! must try , they have something for everyone. The buffet is awesome always changing , but normal dishes are there also. highly recommend. come get some awesome good.“

“Coddington’s on Meadow: the iconic industrial village spot to meet and eat serve the best breakfast around and do so thoughtfully and efficiently. Great service from the waitresses, especially the youthful blonde and Kelly the cook. We’ve been regulars for the last five years!“

“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.“

“I'll say it AGAIN AND AGAIN....VITO'S PIZZA IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST PIZZA IN TOWN YOU CAN'T GO WRONG! If you haven't tried it you're truly missing out! Wonderful job Lee!!😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋“

“After a wonderful meal on New Year's Eve, we returned to BRT for Valentine's Day dinner. The food was off the chart delicious, from the calamari with blue cheese and hot peppers to the shrimp scampi with mushrooms and bacon. Not to mention the incredible tiramisu. Amanda was our server and was attentive all evening. We sat in the middle dining room, which was warm and cozily lit. The new owners have definitely succeeded in turning this restaurant around.“

“The jambalaya is, hands down, THE best I've ever had. Wonderful drinks and service as well. Nicole was very pleasant and attentive. I love this bar, my kind of place.“

“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 🙄“

“Amazing family experience. Very accommodating for special needs families. Fun down to earth environment. Affordable. Employees have a great pride in all they do. Highly active & supportive in the community. Will be back.“
