“ This is the BEST restaurant I have eaten at in Connecticut! Salmon was very fresh well cooked and delicious. Fries are crisp and simply amazing. Burger was perfect and filling, quality and not greasy! Incredible asparagus and mashed potatoes. All in all I can say it is well worth the price the quality and exceptional service speaks for itself. Repeat customers! ”
“ A joy. Fun place with a great ambiance indoors and out. Food to match! Had ravioli with pea shoots, mushrooms, and Parmigiano. Perfect balance. Used bread to sop up the juices that good! Croque Monsieur was perfect. One if the best ever. Came with a small salad as well. My wife had the trout almondine special. Fresh, tasty. She felt like we robbed the place with how much food we got. Overall, it was an excellent experience. ”
