Restaurants near Sandy Hook

“It's a little trip for us to dine at Nouveau Monde, passing many fine restaurants along the way, but definitely worth the extra mileage. NM is quite the most beautiful restaurant that we ever patronize, and its menu lives up to that high standard. The ambience is lovely, candlelit and quite romantic at night-time. I cannot single out any one dish as so much better than others. This visit my wife ate the parmesan-crusted chicken, and she had nothing left for the doggie-bag! Unusually for me I ordere the pork chop. It came with lovely sides of beans and savory grits. There is a reasonably good list of wines by the glass and a very extensive collection of fine wines by the bottle, including a few at reasonable prices and most at the high end. One improvement could be to offer the wines by the glass as bottles too. If you like Sauvignon Blanc and you would like a bottle of either of the two offered by the glass, that doesn't appear on the menu. Service is discreet and polite but not over-formal. It also looks like the best tables have been requested ahead of time, and it might be a good idea to ask for a window table, though all the tables are perfectly fine. If the air conditoning is running, be sure to ask them to cover the vent that might be directly under your seat! Finally, this is one of if not the finest restaurant(s) in the Newtown to Fairfield area. A little expensive but good value for money.”

“My husband and I tried Bora Restaurant for the first time last night. It was excellent!! The food was delicious, the decorations were beautiful, the atmosphere was warm and cozy, all of the staff that we encountered were young but surprisingly all so very well mannered, polite and very nice!! Our waiter was Alton, he did a wonderful job and always addressed my husband as Sir. We would definitely recommend this restaurant!!”

“The best! That’s all you need to know”

“Wonderful food, friendly people, and a peaceful atmosphere.”

“Just went tonight and grabbed 2 chicken platters to go with my fiancé. The employees were wonderful. Beyond kind and personable. The food I don’t have words for. I didn’t take a photo due to being over excited but the portions are more than fair for what you pay. The hot sauce is VERY hot for me personally but I like it. The salata that comes with the entree is so fresh and tasty. The chicken is perfectly cooked - tender and seasoned deliciously. Even the rice is a masterpiece. We also highly recommend the pakora chips! They’re crispy on the outside, nice and soft on the outside, seasoned, and made fresh to order. We were even told by the staff that we were welcome to sit and make ourselves comfortable while we waited for the chips since they are made to order but our food was done so fast we barely had a chance to! We’re not done eating but we’ve already agreed this will be our Saturday night go to. For 2 people getting 2 platters and a side of pakora chips it was just $30. You’d spend more per person getting dinner from any other restaurant around.”

“Great restaurant. We just celebrated my wife's birthday in their private area. We had 21 guests and the food and service was excellent. The staff was very attentive and everything was served timely, hot and delicious.”

“Absolute BEST Lebanese restaurant I’ve ever been to! Authentic dishes. Sooooo incredibly flavorful! You feel like a part of the family once you walk through those doors - make sure to taste the lamb special (my all time favorite!!) - it’s the owner’s grandma’s recipe and OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! (I don’t even like lamb but THIS dish is ABSURDLY delicious!!!) pay special attention to the huge pink pen at the register - haha my company pen!!”

“I doubt seriously if you'll find a better selection of home made middle Eastern foods anywhere - This place even outdoes NYC. Fresh, tasty, generous servings, reasonable prices. Take out or order and eat in the large dining area exquisitely decorated. This is a hidden gem in Monroe. Say hello to Lola - the owner and proud chef. By the way, it's worth a visit just to see the Egyptian Decor and statuary.”

“Stopped in for the first time tonight, and we will definitely be repeat customers. We had the chicken bao bun appetizer, French onion chicken dinner & NY strip dinner. The only thing better than the food and cocktails was the service! Everyone who worked there was friendly and very welcoming. Loved every minute of our experience!”
