“Feels Like Home – Amazing Cantonese Food! Golden Palace in Connecticut is hands down one of the best Cantonese restaurants I’ve been to. Their dim sum is so authentic — just like the kind you’d get in Hong Kong or southern China. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. What really makes this place special is the people. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming — every time I come here, I feel like I’m back home in China. It’s that kind of warm, family-style hospitality that’s hard to find these days. Whether you’re craving dim sum or a comforting Cantonese meal, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“The atmosphere was so clean and well-maintained. Matt, our server took great care of us and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend the Cajun chicken pasta and the lemon drop drink. The Chile's in Lisbon is the way to go!“

“It’s just a WOW time you wouldn’t expect and huge space for any event.
Bar available, awesome food. You need to get your DJ or they have very reasonable DJs to suggest.
All together The French Club has a priced package for any venue that is reasonable and affordable for an average family. That’s my opinion. I’ve been to two events and been extremely impressed with the freedom to have fun if no one gets out of control, great catered food and awesome bar available. An all in one package. Or you can have your own DJ and catered meal. They are so easy to work with.
Check them out! Great Venue!“

“Excellent bar with a surprising food selection. Have been going here for years. Same look inside. Rustic. Delicious Southwestern Salad with grilled chicken. Perfectly cooked chicken, crisp lettuce, better than any sit down restaurant. Great venue for bands, including Aquanett who gave a great concert on 4/18/26.“

“Love this place great place to see live music“

“Favorite bonbons that we tried (ranked by most favorite but no bonbons were bad!): Vanilla, tiramisu, hazelnut latte, coconut, apple chai. We loved our bartender and we were pleasantly surprised that each specialty drink also came with a bonbon!“

“My friend and I stopped in for a quick bite to eat and a drink! I had a fabulous martini and delicious Margareta Flatbread pizza that was cooked to perfection! Rachel was our bartender and she was pure perfection! She was attentive, friendly and kind! And the expresso martini was the best I ever had! Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“Get the huge beakers. I know it's like $25 but i don't care!!! They are SO CUTE! The banana and strawberry daiquiris are both vegan and it's my understanding that a lot of the other flavors are too. Every flavor is dairy free so you just need to inquire about the alcohol used“

“Excelente lugar para disfrutar en familia“

“Oriental Bar and Grill is tucked behind another building in Connecticut in a way that makes it genuinely easy to miss from the road. The exterior is intriguing, with waterfalls and small ponds with koi fish out front.

The interior is large and classically decorated, the kind of dining room that was built to handle volume without feeling like a cafeteria. The koi fish out front have a quarter machine nearby that dispenses food, which is a small detail that tends to land well if you are visiting with kids. The overall setup is comfortable and well maintained, and the space gives the restaurant a presence that most Chinese restaurants in the area do not match.

The dim sum is the main draw and it is served until 3pm, so timing your visit accordingly is important. The har gow and shumai are well executed and hold up against what you would find at comparable restaurants in Boston or New York. The chili oil is good and worth using liberally. The shrimp wonton noodle soup is a standout and worth ordering on its own. For those coming outside dim sum hours the full menu covers a solid range of Cantonese dishes. The fried rice, salt and pepper squid, fish filet in chili oil, and chow fun all perform well, and the portions throughout are generous enough that ordering with a group and sharing makes the most sense.

On quieter days the food quality is noticeably more consistent. For good dim sum in Connecticut and a Cantonese dining room that takes the food seriously, it is worth the effort of finding.“
