“This place is nothing short of amazing. We went on a recommendation of a friend for our wedding anniversary. As soon as we walked in we were treated like family. When they found out it was our anniversary they gave us a glass of champagne. The calamari was incredible. Not oily and so flavorful. The linguini fruit ti di mara was delicious. My wife had the special with clams and mussels and that too was delicious. They constantly checked on us and made us feel so welcome. For dessert we shared a Carrot cake and it was so fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back. Thank you making our anniversary special.“

“Awesome old school bar-style burgers done right! You can tell they care and use quality ingredients. Cheeseburger with caramelized onions, pickles, and their house sauce (it’s kinda like a chipotle mayo) is the perfect combo. The staff and owners are as nice as can be too.“

“The burgers are fabulous!!! We love the atmosphere too!“

“I've eaten buffalo cauliflower at almost every restaurant that offers it in CT. I can confidently say, this place has the best buffalo cauliflower in the entire state. The pickle juice martini was absolutely delicious. The Patty Melt was NEXT LEVEL. Quality restaurants are harder and harder to come by. I HIGHLY recommend this place. I sat in the bar at a table and the bar tender was VERY attentive, even though it was Friday at Happy Hour. The atmosphere is themed and fun. I cannot say enough good things about this place.“

“Yesterday was an amazing birthday for me as I spent it at Greer Southern Table‼️ Beautiful experience and I loved it🥰 I love how Greer goes around each table and greets her guest with full conversations. My favorite dish was the monkey bread and the chicken was nice and crispy. I hope she whip up that yam sauce we talked about for those egg rolls lol. The place is nice and oh for the ladies who love mirrors she has that right next to the bathroom for pics lol. Thanks for a great birthday brunch💜“

“My husband Mark and I met Doug at PJ Clark’s and went there for years. When he opened Hudson Malone, of course we went many times.! I then got sick (surgeries in 14 months, all good now!) ) and when I walked back in with my husband after almost two years, Doug saw us coming in, poured my favorite wine, took my hand and kissed it, and said ““Welcome Home Claudia”
The establishment is one sense of his excellence.. Humanity (no BS) is another. He’s the real deal! GO!
XOXO“

“We both had the caesar salad and the flank steak sandwich, which was delicious. Thank you for supporting Westport-Weston Chamber of Commerce Restaurant Week. We will be back soon!“

“Party of four. Everything from apps to Coffee was delicious. Highly recommend.“

“My husband and I eat from there often, we have been served by the owner who’s so nice and provides amazing service. But today, we were served by a girl who was on the her phone gossiping with someone the entire time, she even had the phone on speaker. And I would not have cared about it if we would have at least gotten water. She didn’t even asked if we wanted anything, didn’t brought us water at any point, and was being very loud on the phone.“

“Best breakfast sandwich I’ve had!!! Fabulous soups, wonderful menu and lovely people!!!“

“I "cried" when my fave VEGAN or VEGETARIAN "GO-to" eat-in place closed all their locations around Boston. That was sadly & formerly GrainMaker .. (gone now) However DiG has grown on me as their deFACTO replacement for all FRESH VEGGIES and otherwise ALL FRESH MEAL VEGAN or VEGETERIAN eats and eat-in place! This is becoming my greatly reccomended "hidden vegan and veggie gem" in Boston with LOTS of locations. They have 3 locations thus far in Boston and 2 in Cambridge. I hav ONLY visited their downtown location thus far! Just as formerly with GrainMaker, DiG is as close to authentic home cooked! & genuinely HEALTHY! AND fresh meals that you can get to. Always fresh veggies, steamed & otherwise. --(they also serve a variety of proteins, as in variety of meats and fish, but i stay vegan. I have NEVER tried any of their meats or fish here.. ONLY their veggies and seasoned TOFU on occasion.. more oft than not, i do not even get their TOFU as a protein and opt to feast on JUST their steamed or boiled or baked veggies, bases. like rice and excellent mixed veggie salads sides!) Have been frequenting it for about 2 years since 2023 now, but held off on reviewing it until i was SURE of my experiences here. Decided to review it today bcs "it's time". I spoke to the very customer service oriented and responsibve supervisor here at this location, his name is DiJuan and was served by Adonis today and he was also very accommodating (after i explained i eat vegan) and on showing me my MANY fresh veggie choices, bases, proteins (including delish prepared Tofu) and PLENTY of heavenly veggie sides, all preped like you'd expect to find in a Thanksgiving grand day family meal. (AND they do this EVERY DAY!! ) This is HEALTHY eats and quite tasty and delish! See my posted pic w this review of my choice of eats today. In short, just today, i started with very little brown rice as my base and added 2 types of their fresh salad, Cannellini Beans w dill & greens along with their steamed or boiled Kale greens and added also a sweet potato that had been steamed & also steamed brocolli. I LUV eating fresh, healthy, TASTY and "homemade style" (as in NOT processed!!). I added their Garlic dressing to top it off. It came to something like 10+ bucks (B4 tax)! Unheard of !! for a BIG & FULLY portioned full veggie plate like this! BIG PORTION of a FULL PLATE! -- i declined, as usual to get any protein with my meal today, is why, STiLL i got a HUGE portioned plate! ( I normally HAVE2 order 2 - 3 separate orders and combine them, at HoneyGrow, anuther fave local "vegan" franchise in Boston, in order to get filled up if i'm only eating OMAD, as in One-meal-a-Day, in order to get full elsewhere usually!). They have a FAMILY (feeds4) option after 3pm every day that feeds 4-5 people (adults not kids) for like $43. QUITE A BARGAIN for something like this. AND it look like a Thankgiving day meal to top it off! --(formerly anuther non-vegan place "had this", now gone, called Boston Market. However they LOADED their side protions and even base meal with SO MUCH SALT, yuck! so that was ALL you could taste. THEY supposedly made home made, but found out NOT SO!!, theirs was loaded with processed sh*t, like their supposedly home-made mashed potatoes were the powder kind, loaded with pseudo milk and SALT, YUCK!!) NOT SO ! with this place.. DiG is 180 degrees fr tht.. This is truly GREAT tasting REAL and "home-prepped" veggies. They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v“

“Wonderful service, food and cocktails. Had a bit of everything and it all was exceptional. Highly recommend.“

“Not just granola, this place has wraps, bowls, and savory breakfast options all day. Great food. The breakfast tacos were super interesting and the breakfast sandwich was made with crispy bacon and your choice of breads/toast, cheese and eggs however you like them. Service was super polite, efficient, and there when you need them. About 8 tables in a modern space with background music that is just a touch loud.“

“Stopped by this quaint little bar before a show, and the bartender immediately recognized my Streetlight Manifesto hat. she even played one of their songs on the speakers, which was an awesome gesture. Staff were super friendly, and the burger and fries were excellent. Great vibe all around.“

“Exceptional dining experience. Our party of eleven showed up on a very busy day and The Barn Door never skipped a beat. Food:A+, Service :A+, Friendliness of Staff:A+. If you plan to dine in the Ridgefield/Redding area area, the Barn Door is where you want to go. Ron & Denise Mangano Essex“

The food is nothing short of spectacular. Crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients, the menu features a delightful blend of seafood, contemporary American dishes, and seasonal specialties.

“Stopped in for a late lunch and had the most wonderful Reuben Sandwich, loads of meat and the best crisped bread ever. It was delicious along with the fries I ordered. Had the Cajun popcorn shrimp as an appetizer and they were incredible. Will definitely go back again.“

“Love this place........I go mostly for breakfast. Waitstaff are always pleasant. Very cozy atmosphere. Had there Chalah Bread French Toast with homefries and a scrambled egg. Coffee fills are great. Many more delicious food items to try and the price is always more than reasonable.“

“Great food, great people!“

“Love Dunville’s. My go to Place to gather with friends for great food, drinks 🍹 n a nice atmosphere. Don’t miss their brunch it’s amazing!“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is terrific, the owner is a great guy, and the prices are reasonable. I love taking my family there. We can always have a healthy and delicious meal. If you have not been, your should definitely try it.“

“We’d flown across the continent from Vancouver to New York, and drove up from Midtown to New Canaan to see something quieter. The moment we parked on Elm Street, it felt like the right destination. The name might belong to old horror movies, but the street was nothing but calm. My wife called it “cute” about a thousand times, and she wasn’t wrong.

We walked the shops, stepped in and out of small storefronts, and followed a narrow back alley when hunger finally caught up with us. That’s how we found Back End — tucked away, sunny, and exactly where it needed to be. The November air was cold, but the day had a clear sky that made everything feel sharp and clean.

Service was friendly and quick. The room had an easy rhythm — warm decor, high stools, tight tables. A space used well. Fun without being loud, relaxed without slowing down. Sometimes you stumble onto a place that matches your mood perfectly. This was one of those.

We shared tacos, Nonna's meatballs, and chicken dumplings. Every plate landed. Simple dishes done right, seasoned with confidence. Nothing heavy, nothing forced — the kind of food that keeps a conversation moving and a day on track.

Back End fit the afternoon. A hidden spot in a quiet town, found by accident on a long trip. The kind of place you remember because it met you exactly where you were.“

“Great… just like it’s been for going on 50 years!!“

“Everything I had here was really good. Everything from the guacamole to the cheesesteak. My only wish is that they served the waffle fries with everything! Great uplifting atmosphere as well.“

“Had dinner following my daughter’s graduation and everything was nothing short of excellent. We were seated promptly by a very friendly hostess. Our server was great and on top of everything. We have allergies and he went above and beyond to review the menu ensuring our meal was perfect. Food was excellent!! We will definitely be going back and would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a great meal with superb service.“

“fantastic food hands down“

“Around CT & NY Elm reliably holds its place with Pound Ridge, L’escale, Skittleman, Union League, plus honesty the coolest professional staff, blessed to have Elm 🌳..“

“My husband and I recently hosted our baby shower for our first baby at Flinder's last weekend (3/21/26), and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. We hosted roughly 55 people and utilized the entire restaurant for our private event (restaurant buyout). From the onset, Ross and Eric (Mgr. + Assistant Mgr.) were incredibly friendly, responsive to all my questions via email, and agreed to meet not once, but TWICE in-person to ensure all details were accounted for, and that our requests would be accommodated. The event ran smoothly because of their professionalism and attention to detail. During the event, the kitchen, bar, and wait staff were incredibly attentive, kind, friendly, and honestly felt like part of the party the entire time. Our family and friends raved about the entire experience, including the service, the food, and the configuration of the space. We left smiling from ear-to-ear, and are incredibly grateful to everyone at Flinder's for helping to make our baby shower a great success!“

“We had our wedding at The Spinning Wheel on 6.28.25. I couldn’t be happier with how the day went. Katelyn was wonderful! The venue was so perfect! Highly Recommend!!!“

“We had a private event with 15 people in the back room and their event coordinator (Lindsay) and our waitress (Carmen) went above and beyond to make the day perfect for my 90 year old mom! Highly recommend this experience. The room could probably hold 20-25 comfortably.“

“This place is a gem, a real throwback to when dining out was a pleasure. Been here several times for lunch and dinner. Warmly welcomed each time. The service and the setting and the food are all top-notch. Great fish always, and many traditional Italian dishes to choose from. Good sides, too. Each dinner entree comes with a lovely salad , nicely presented with a tasty house dressing. I feel fortunate to live nearby but would drive longer if I had to. many of their regulars come from other towns.“

“Love the LA Fit wrap, of course on a habanero tortilla. Great soups, too. All around a great option for a quick lunch.“

“I love the Horse and Hound Inn. I grew up 1mile from it. they have great people working here. Sue Val’s the owner is a mother to me/friend. i highly recommend the Horse and Hound Inn!!!“

“Good food and spiked shakes“

“Great New addition to the Ridgefield scene. All the food was excellent with the Filet Mignon being the star of the evening. Wines served by the glass were wonderful and complimented the meal well. The service was attentive, on point, and not intrusive at all. The ambience was enhanced by the music playlist that brings up the vibe of the whole place. Job well done!“

“Just had a great experience at Bazille at Nordstrom. The atmosphere was modern, clean, and relaxing, and the service was very friendly and attentive. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It’s such a nice spot to take a break while shopping at SoNo Collection, for lunch, dinner, or even drinks and appetizers. (They have best view ever)I definitely recommend BAZILLE RESTAURANT“

“The vegan taco and short rib hot bun. YUM! Great selection of tap beer as well. Staff was stop on. Will be going back👍“

“Big improvements in the menu and service over previous ownership. Food quality and a better selection of craft beers as well as a few cosmetic upgrades have made it more than a golfers hangout.“

“Everything we had was delicious!! Thank you!! ♥️“
