“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!“

“My boyfriend and I went to this place for dinner. I have to say we had one of the most delicious meals ever. We started with the Tuna Carpaccio and a dozen Oysters on the half shell. The Tuna was beautifully presented and delicious as were the Oysters. We had huge hot popovers served with a honey butter which were mouthwatering. We also tried the Crab Cake which was one of the best I have ever had. The Crab was fresh, and the tarter sauce was very light and didn't over power the Crab, For dinner we decided on the Roasted Chicken with watercress and the Butter Brown Spinach Ravioli. They were both amazing and the presentation was absolutely exquisite down to the garlic shaves on top of the watercress. For dessert my boyfriend had the Chocolate Sorbet and I enjoyed the Toasted Almond Ice cream as well as the fresh baked cookies with milk. I couldn't have asked for a better ending to the meal. The Ice Cream and Sorbet were delicious and the freshly baked warm cookies with milk were scrumptious. Everything was homemade and you can tell how much love goes into the food here. The server we had Mae was friendly, smiling all the time, very attentive and made our time there so nice. A special thank you also to Kerri Casso who is the Service Manager there. I know her from her previous job and Kerri is the reason we tried this place. She checked on us several times and made sure we were happy. Thank you to Mae, Kerri, Sunny and everyone there who made our meal enjoyable. We can't wait to come back!“

“Excellent dining experience in Danbury, CT“

“Been coming here for years can’t believe I’ve never left a review. Hands down the best breakfast in area! Definitely worth the trip from anywhere. The French toast bites and holy cannoli pancakes are to die for! Not to mention the super cozy back deck surrounded by woods just makes eating great food that much better.“

“A great local spot for a night out with friends or a date night. The cocktails are absolutely delicious - the pear martini and the espresso martini were both to die for. The menu has plenty of shareable plates, which makes it perfect for trying a little bit of everything.

It can get busy, so I definitely recommend making a reservation, but even when it’s packed, the staff does a great job of fitting you in. Overall, an excellent choice for a fun, flavorful night out!“

“We met some friends here to watch football and grab something to eat. The food was really good. It was a little loud but of course it was football so that was okay. Our waitress was excellent. Great place to stop for a quick bite in Danbury.“

“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.“

“Best place ever ! Food is fabulous !!“

“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 🌳..“

“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.“

“I was just at the Muscoot Tavern lastnight and the food was sooooo good. The Service was great. I highly recommend the Muscoot Tavern!!!“

“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!!!“

“The restaurant is very well done. The atmosphere is great and well thought-out. I have been there twice and service was exceptional both times. Valet parking is a nice touch for a cold night. The food is a bit disappointing for this price point. I ordered an ahi crusted tuna special that came out partially frozen. They told me it came with grilled asparagus but it was served with sauteed spinach. This was fine, as I used the spinach to melt the tuna. The steak tartare app was just ok. My guest ordered the lobster fra diavolo and it took them 25 minutes to alert us that they ran out of lobsters. This was after they told him they ran out Peroni beer. The desert was solid and nice selections of after dinner teas.“

“Great food, super relaxed atmosphere, AWESOME service. Highly recommend, not fancy but there’s something for everyone and the staff is delightful, Sophia was our waitress again this month (I’ve been here twice in six weeks) and she is attentive and helpful.“

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

“Service & food is dynamite & the view of the Lake is awesome a must go again“

“We absolutely love Chucks. The food is consistently fantastic. Tommy is always incredibly friendly and good with kids. Rocky is a wonderful server and takes great care of us each time we come. I truly could not ask for a better experience dining out with my family.“
