“We go to the location in Queensbury, New York for the gluten free sandwiches very often. We drive from 45 minutes away just to get the sandwiches so I think that says a lot! Nice staff, great store hours (open late). The area really needed a 24 hour store. It’s doing a lot for the community!“

“I used to go here quite often many moons ago, but for some reason haven't been there in quite a while. But was meeting an old friend who lives in New Caanan, and we chose this place. I opted for the Fish-n-Chips which was pretty tasty, but somewhat oily. But I ate every bit of it. The atmosphere is very "dive" bar ish, which is a bit of a charm in itself. We were able to eat our food and enjoy a couple of beers with some good conversation without them trying to turn over the table. After all these years CSE still has tasty food, and I'm sure I'll be back.“

“If you’re looking for a delightful dining experience, The Benjamin in Ridgefield, Ct., is a must-visit. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable, thanks in large part to our headwaiter, Gerardo, who ensured we felt welcomed and attended to throughout our meal.

We started with a variety of appetizers, which set a high bar for the rest of the meal. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. For the main courses, I opted for the Long Island Duck, which was expertly cooked and incredibly tender, while my husband enjoyed the Beef Short Ribs—rich, savory, and equally satisfying.

To finish off our meal, we indulged in the vanilla crème brûlée for dessert. It was simply out of this world—creamy, with a perfectly caramelized top that added just the right amount of sweetness.

Overall, our experience at The Benjamin was exceptional, and we wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for delicious food and outstanding service in a warm and inviting atmosphere.“

“Lovely view. The wait staff is new and learning! The owner Perry is on it! Marcos the manager is eager to please. The food is Good!!! I feel that the restaurant has gotten a bad rap time after time. I feel that some If the people who go in are to quick to criticize, it’s sort of like they want it there way. This is there restaurant and they are Doing a great job. They know what they are doing so give them a break. Like I said in the beginning the wait staff is learning to be the best they can so give them a break. We love going always feel welcome and look forward to see them flourish .“
