“A real gem just over the New Canaan CT line in Vista NY, a tiny hamlet in the town of Lewisboro in Westchester County. Family owned and operated for decades, this restaurant serves a great selection of meats, fish and Italian food, all perfectly prepared. Sons are the waiters with perfect attitudes and personalities and very attentive performance. Indoor/outdoor dining and a fireplace enhance the experience. First trip, very impressed, will be back and bring others. Mei Complementi Auguri.“

“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!!!“

“This place is nothing short of amazing. We went on a recommendation of a friend for our wedding anniversary. As soon as we walked in we were treated like family. When they found out it was our anniversary they gave us a glass of champagne. The calamari was incredible. Not oily and so flavorful. The linguini fruit ti di mara was delicious. My wife had the special with clams and mussels and that too was delicious. They constantly checked on us and made us feel so welcome. For dessert we shared a Carrot cake and it was so fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back. Thank you making our anniversary special.“

“My absolute favorite place“

“We hosted my daughter‘s bridal shower at J Law and it was everything we hoped for. Clara, Megan, and the entire team were attentive, kind, and incredibly helpful throughout the day. The private event space was ideal, spacious, welcoming, and flexible enough for us to personalize with our own decor. The food was delicious. The service was top-notch and the atmosphere made everyone feel at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to return for another celebration. Thank you, Clara and the J Law team for helping us create such a memorable day!“

“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.“

“Hosted an intimate party for 22 yesterday. The food and service was great. Varied dishes, shrimp over linguini, penne with grilled chicken, eggplant parm, hanger steak, Pan roasted salmon salad and chicken marsala all were delicious, served hot and all came out within minutes of the others.“

“Had lunch today with my sister and daughter Had the pear walnut salad with blackened scallops One of my favorites Unfortunately today the scallops were overcooked like little rubber balls“

“I went to Whitlock's a couple of weekends ago and had the absolute best meal. I ordered the French dip and it was mouthwatering good. My server's name was Tisha and she was honestly one of the best server's I've ever meet. Her smile light up the room and she went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were happy from the time I walked in, to the time we left. I would recommend Whitlock's to anyone who hasn't been.“

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

“We’d flown across the continent from Vancouver to New York, and drove up from Midtown to New Canaan to see something quieter. The moment we parked on Elm Street, it felt like the right destination. The name might belong to old horror movies, but the street was nothing but calm. My wife called it “cute” about a thousand times, and she wasn’t wrong.

We walked the shops, stepped in and out of small storefronts, and followed a narrow back alley when hunger finally caught up with us. That’s how we found Back End — tucked away, sunny, and exactly where it needed to be. The November air was cold, but the day had a clear sky that made everything feel sharp and clean.

Service was friendly and quick. The room had an easy rhythm — warm decor, high stools, tight tables. A space used well. Fun without being loud, relaxed without slowing down. Sometimes you stumble onto a place that matches your mood perfectly. This was one of those.

We shared tacos, Nonna's meatballs, and chicken dumplings. Every plate landed. Simple dishes done right, seasoned with confidence. Nothing heavy, nothing forced — the kind of food that keeps a conversation moving and a day on track.

Back End fit the afternoon. A hidden spot in a quiet town, found by accident on a long trip. The kind of place you remember because it met you exactly where you were.“

“I've eaten buffalo cauliflower at almost every restaurant that offers it in CT. I can confidently say, this place has the best buffalo cauliflower in the entire state. The pickle juice martini was absolutely delicious. The Patty Melt was NEXT LEVEL. Quality restaurants are harder and harder to come by. I HIGHLY recommend this place. I sat in the bar at a table and the bar tender was VERY attentive, even though it was Friday at Happy Hour. The atmosphere is themed and fun. I cannot say enough good things about this place.“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is terrific, the owner is a great guy, and the prices are reasonable. I love taking my family there. We can always have a healthy and delicious meal. If you have not been, your should definitely try it.“

“Wonderful new addition to our great restaurant scene in Ridgefield, CT!!!
It has excellent food and service!!!
From the owner/manager Reggie to the bartender, Michaela, along with the entire waitstaff, are personable and professional. The dining room is very nice, and the bar area is wonderful!
This location has had some incredible restaurants here over many years; and the current R House is a perfect continuation of the tradition of upscale, but not overpriced, restaurants!!“

“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.“

“fantastic food hands down“

“For a restaurant that is so close to 5 star you can literally taste it. They definitely try hard to give you a perfect dining experience and that's commendable. The shock factor for this establishment was it's loud and partitions or background music isn't going to change that, so you lose a bit of intimacy. However if it's decent quisine you are looking for you may be in the right spot. The breaded and fried chicken was good and done correctly however the panko was retaining the flavor of the oil rather than it's own. The brussel sprouts were good but honestly it can do without the bacon bits(that were really hard for some reason). Too many minor nuance's for a five star but I believe the potential is there!“

“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 🌳..“

“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!“

“Excellent all the way around!“

“Great place for family and friends to get a meal, catch a game. Management was very generous with accommodating to ensure everyone go to see the game they requested. The food was great.....lemon pepper wings, burgers, steak fries. My favorite was the cheesesteak egg rolls! The bar features a couple of signature cocktails but I had the caribbean sangria, worth a taste!“

“Wonderful service and atmosphere!“

“Best place everrr!!! Got the best food and the best people 🙏🏼“

“Love the LA Fit wrap, of course on a habanero tortilla. Great soups, too. All around a great option for a quick lunch.“

“We did the Wednesday prix fixe menu and it was amazing. It truly felt to be like I was eating art. I don't know the name of the chef, but you can tell they are exceptional. The attention to detail in each dish made it obvious the chef is passionate about what they create. The flavors were unique, the atmosphere upscale yet comforting, and the service was lovely. We had a wonderful time.“
