“Found this place one day while driving to work, it is definitely one of those hidden gems in Connecticut. It is so nice if you looking for a nice quiet place to have lunch. I tried the truffle fries, which were absolutely delicious. As well as a side of mac n cheese, which wasn’t bad. Definitely would try something else next time I go. Our waitress was great, very attentive and so polite. She definitely went above and beyond.“
“I’ve been coming to this place since the owner only had his food truck in the parking lot. This place is one of my favorite restaurants in the world and I will continue to go back. The food is great and not over priced. It also has a great atmosphere year round.“
“I have been here 5 times now both pick up and sit down. The food has been amazing and the atmosphere is great. The inside is very very clean. I do not like writing negative reviews however the service in person is great but over the phone 1 star would be to much. Both times i ordered over the phone it was very very rushed and I could hardly get a question in. This most recent time the phone call was so rushed and with the language barrier we misunderstood each other. I know that can happen and it is what it is. When i showed up i noticed my order had additional items that i did not ask for. When I told the gentleman i did not ask for them I got the worst attitude and he got so mad. When i said I'm not sure what happened but sorry he snapped at me saying I should have listened better. Normally I would have said whatever and taken the additional items if they are small however it was 3 more things of ramen. I still tipped 20% because maybe he was having a bad day and not tipping is just rude. When he came back after he removed the other items my food was basically thrown at me. I didn't check it and when i got home one of the lids was off and half of the broth leaked out. I was really enjoying a ramen place being so close and i was sending all my friends there. However reguardless of how good their dumplings are i may just drive the extra 20 minutes somewhere else.“
“This place was my very first experience with jamaican food, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The food here is super delicious and always has me craving it. From the jerk pork to the fried chicken, it's all top notch food. The atmosphere is great and is super homey. The service is on another level though: my personal experiences have been great anytime I go, I practically feel like family each time I go up to order. I couldn't recommend this place any less if you're looking for a new, amazing amazing experience.“
“8/11/23 still the best fresh seafood... one day i hope get a hat..!! Lol.I have been buying seafood for years. It is the freshest seafood and nicest people working the counter.

“Every meal is perfect! I have tried just about everything on the menu and have never been disappointed! My wife has quite a few food allergies, and between the communication with the waitstaff and the chef, her meals come out amazing! After each meal we always finish up at the bar with a cocktail. The bartenders creat a different drink special every day. And let me just say... sooo good! So this restaurant is a must try! You will be coming back again and again!Dietary restrictions: The chef can create a meal specifically to your restrictions. Don't be shy to let your server know. They take it very seriously.“
“Finally got to enjoy Roma tonight. Lots of great choices. Veal parmigiana was about as good as it gets. Escarole, beans and sausage, long hot peppers in a marinara sauce, and a huge meatball for our appetizers were all amazing. Must plan ahead as reservations are the only way to get in on a Friday or Saturday night. Understandable given the high quality of their food and service.“
“2nd time here for dinner, and did not disappoint. Swordfish entree was delicious, and calamari & tuna tartare appetizers as well. The special Manhattan cocktail (“Night at the Roxbury”) was absolutely excellent. Great overall experience & very good service“
“The Barnwood is our go to for occasions as well just to eat out. The wait staff are very good . Our orders always arrive promptly, and as ordered. In addition to a well rounded menu there always are wonderful specials. We have never had a meal that we didn't like. The chef is inventive and steps outside of the ordinary with fish and meat selections. The only negative is that the acoustics are dreadful making it noisy when the restaurant fills up.Also the tables for two are small.“
“What a great local spot with karaoke and good food! We've been meaning to try this spot since moving nearby. The parking is on the street which is okay if it's not a busy night. The entrance in front does not lead to a waitress or a booth you walk into a bar. Which is fine but just so you know. From what I saw though is that there is a restaurant dining side I just didn't bother figuring out how to get there. Anyways, we sat at the bar that had plenty of seats! There is 1 pool table. The waitress staff are super friendly and want to make sure you like your drinks and food! I love seafood but if you're not big on seafood like my boyfriend just know that options are slim for non- seafood lovers. I got the lobster bisque and lemmmmme tell you- CHEF's kiss! It actually has claw lobster meat in there so you know it's not the fake stuff. Veryyyy flavorful! I also got the cheesy garlic bread- Um yum !!! My boyfriend got the burger and fries and not a crumb was left/ really big burger too. The martinis are on point!!! Truly enjoyed the winter creations they had. We had a great time doing karaoke which seems to be a hit here. Great night and good food :)“
“Our first time to Aldo’s was last night and it was fantastic! Beautifully decorated, it was warm and festive. Everyone there was friendly. We had the Brussels Sprouts, Pork Chop and Braised Short Ribs (special) as well as cocktails. Everything was delicious! Portions were great and they were very attentive when I asked about my meal being gluten free. We will definitely make this a regular stop!“
“Great food selection. Great sea food! I think it is a little bit pricey to be honest. Specially when competed so other good quality store like stew Leonard's. But it is a local store and it close by. The staff is great and the food I great“
“"My recent visit to the Brookside Inn Restaurant was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped inside, the warm and inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who were happy to answer my questions and make recommendations.Now, let's talk about the food! The fresh shucked lightly fried whole belly clams were truly outstanding. The batter was light and crispy, allowing the natural sweetness of the clams to shine through. Each bite was a perfect combination of textures and flavors. The veal scallopini was equally impressive. The veal was cooked to tender perfection and the accompanying sauce was rich and flavorful. It was a dish that truly satisfied my taste buds.Overall, my experience at the Brookside Inn Restaurant was truly exceptional. The combination of delicious food, impeccable service, and a warm and inviting atmosphere makes it a place I highly recommend. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, look no further than the Brookside Inn!"“
“Parking: The place is very popular and also shares parking with a laundromat, enterprise rental car, and a smoke shop but there's usually a space. We have always managed to find a parking space when we have gone for breakfastWheelchair accessibility: There is a handicap ramp and handicap parking available“
“Came for my mans birthday and first time coming. We were in a separate room, very elegant , an area that was not loud. We ordered drinks and received numerous amounts of bread per our request, ordered appetizers fried calamari, buffalo wings, and salads and ordered our food eventually. We ordered prime Rib and Filet Mignon. When ordering the meat, it's all you get. It's an added charge for a sauce. it's an added charge for a side. Our group of people ordered sushi, steaks, seafood linguini, and porterhouse for two . The service was great for the number of people we had. We ended with desserts and sang Happy birthday.“
