“Such an adorable place and the food was so delicious! Great ambiance! Lovely hostess and waitstaff“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“If you want top quality food and service this is the place to go. Cozy warm atmosphere and such friendly and inviting staff makes for such a perfect and memorable night !“

“Tremendous meal Wedge salad. Chicken parm. Penne vodka. All delicious. First time visitor. Expect to be back soon. Nice service. Thanks chef“

“Great food and friendly people. Plus, live music on Wednesday nights“

“Love, love, love this place. They are constantly changing up the menu. Awesome food. The carrot ginger soup this past week was amazing! Always look forward to weekend food!“

“We hadn't made a reservation but Lucia was super accommodating. We love eating here as it has a bustling vibe, like a New York bistro. Food, as always outstanding and atmosphere first class. Cannot wait to return.“

“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.“

“Best place ever ! Food is fabulous !!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fun, energetic bar with great margaritas and modern Mexican cuisine. The menu has traditional flavors but with some fun spins on preparation & presentation.The staff was friendly and attentive.It’s a great upbeat place that will be perfect destination as the weather gets nicer and we can enjoy the outdoor space.“

“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.“

“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 🌳..“

“Delicious food and excellent service! Extremely courteous staff! A wonderful experience“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“We went here with 3 generations and lots of different food preferences and we all loved our food. The service was wonderful. Anytime the water glass got low they were there to fill it up. It is a family owned restaurant and we wish them much success.“

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

“Great service great ambience great food but rather expensive and the acoustics are very loud unfortunately. They had a nice musician playing the guitar and you could barely hear him because of the din, but overall a very lively fun place! “

“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.“

“me and my family love going here and the food so good and customer service and owner and our fav cook Chris best place to eat. they accommodate they customers and we appreciate here. they have a beautiful back room for private events love here. bpt Boston ave.“

“Great food, welcome atmosphere, great service, fair prices….what’s not to love?!?“

“Amazing wings !!! Pickles are yummy!!“

“We went for the second time on a Wednesday where they have the tasting menu with wine pairings and it was exquisite but a couple of the portions were very small, especially the scallops. But we look forward to doing it again well on the next special occasion.“

“My girlfriends and I was just at Moderne Barn last night. It was my first time eating here. I have to say the overall environment was very friendly, welcoming, beautiful. By the way I love the chandeliers. We sat upstairs - very nice area. Plenty of people eating here. The food and drinks I may add is very delicious. I had salmon and white wine and sangria. Have to say no complaints. The staff very very nice and friendly. Highly highly recommend. Thank you Moderne Barn for a lovely ladies night out!“

“Wonderful cuisine by Chef Ben Freemole ! The place is delightful, the perfect escape after a busy day in the city. Will be back!!“

“We had a great experience yesterday evening! Friendly staff and delicious food! We felt right at home. We will definitely be back!“

“The charming restaurants in this lovely town offered a fantastic experience, particularly the BLT served on sourdough bread. While the chicken sandwich was satisfactory, personal preference might favor chicken breast over thighs. Despite the high volume of customers, the staff demonstrated exceptional efficiency and provided excellent service.“

“Really good! Affordable and a really cute place!“

“10 out of 10 would recommend. Went with the whole family. We were all very happy with our food and that’s hard to say with how picky our little ones are. All the staff were super kind and helpful. Everything looks amazing there. I can’t be the only one that eyes down the food as it comes out of the kitchen 🤷🏼‍♂️. I went with the Ram Smash Burger and it was cooked to perfection. Thanks Gates. See ya next time.“
