“Newtown is a historic, colonial town, and is very quaint and charming. Within, the Mercury Cafe is a gym with delicious comfort food and great coffee. While it’s vegetarian, many of the dishes can be prepared vegan. The BBQ pulled oats sandwich, pastrami panini, grilled cheese and tomato soup were all so good and comforting. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area!“

“Living in Delaware my whole life I had never been to Logan house. First visit I had a delicious mushroom soup and chicken cheesesteak.
Food was tasty and server was great.

Went back a few weeks later to catch the Monday night football game since I don’t have cable. I got the burger special with fries for something like $10, burger was amazing. Bartender and manager on duty were friendly as we chatted about the game.
Will definitely go back“

“We started with the Small plates of Avocado and then the Salmon. The Avocado dish was divine...perfectly warm with tantalizing flavors beneath it. The salmon was really good but we weren't fans of the "crisp" that comes with it which is made from the skin...too fishy for our taste. That's a personal preference. I had the burger and my wife the Cacio e Pepe. Both were also excellent.“

“This restaurant is all about location and its ambience. The food is a small menu meant to satisfy kids and most adults who find the appeal of bar type food. The bar is hopping! The service is split between drinks being delivered, but go pick up your own food. The location though, with access to a small beach and the river along with corn hole, a live band, tvs for sporting events, fire pits and the most perfect views of the sunsetting... well, that is the mic drop of this place.“

They were both a pleasure to work with. Miranda did a great job preparing the room and was available with her charming smile everytime we needed her! Our servers; Lawrence, Sofia and Erin were just as wonderful! Shoutout to Erin for helping me connect Smartview with the TV when we had a technical glich!! If you need to plan a party and need a private room for 50 people or less, with delish food, drinks that are not watered down, and great customer service, I highly recommend Brio!!“
