This is possibly our favorite restaurant of all time in the entire CT-NY-NJ area. Coming from NYC, we try a lot of food but nothing has quite matched the quality these dishes. Not only is each dish unique but it is carefully crafted with quality ingredients! The menu is diverse, exciting, and different. We were overly pleased with the apps, entrees, even down to our post dessert coffees. We came during lunch and the Chef took the time to talk with us, give us his favorite dishes, and even went as far to offer to make us special dishes upon our return. Much respect & love for the Brick Walk Tavern!!!

Omg. We have had great food at this restaurant. But tonight was the best. We both had the CT lobster roll. It was so tender and absolutely perfect. I have never tasted a better lobster roll. You have to try it!

The food here is always delicious (the drinks are a little pricey though, so definitely try their happy hour). The chef introduced himself and was so friendly and helpful explaining the menu. He truly has pride for his craft! The restaurant has a nice ambiance, with a cute outdoor patio area as well. Would recommend for anyone looking for a nice night out!

I've been a fan of Chef Synder's food ever since I first had it when he was at Char. I think he's only gotten better, if that's even possible. We started with this beautiful preparation of pork belly that was so tender and rich. Incredible. Then we checked out his Summer Shack part of the menu. We got the lobster roll with delicate lobster, on top of these fluffy and buttery rolls. Excellent. And we also had the clam strip roll which was also great, highlighted with house made tartar sauce with a kick and coleslaw. Great service and always good to come back and see what new specials are on the menu

This place is amazing! They have a new menu every week, and it’s always so fresh and delicious.

Was in town visiting and we made a reservation for dinner! Everything was delicious. Perfect dirty Martini! The chicken Lemongrass dumplings were delicious. We ordered the N.Y. Strip steak off the specials menu! It was perfect. One of my favorite steaks I’ve ever had. The cook was perfect and the seasoning was amazing! We had the Sticky Toffee Pudding and an Espresso Martini for desert! Both were amazing. Service was also great! Very impressed with our experience and look forward to going back next time we are in town!

Hands down one of the best taverns that I have ever been to. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was excellent and staff were very friendly. The food was a bit on the higher end side, price wise, but it was definitely worth it. I would recommend getting the Chili Garlic Crispy Shrimp, the Paccheri Pasta, the Steamed Mussels, and the Steak Frites.

In Madrid, they have Casa Botin. It's very old. Stone walls, a wood-fired oven that's been burning for centuries. You go there to taste history, eat roast suckling pig, to eat something that's never changed. In Fairfield, there's Brick Walk Tavern. It's not ancient, but it feels timeless in the right ways. There's a seasonal fire burning here, too--not just in the hearth, but in the kitchen, in the staff, in the way the food hits the table. The room is warm. You can hear yourself think. You don't have to shout to be heard. At the same time it's a lot of fun as a later night place without question. The cuisine leaves you understanding why the CIA educated the chef. Excellent in all respects. Christine at the bar is the welcoming face of the restaurant and makes superb cocktails. In a world of overpriced, painfully loud places and people who don't seem to care anymore, this place does. The waitstaff looks you in the eyes. The chef has a commanding presence that makes you feel cared for as a guest. I highly recommend.

Impressive spot for a large family dinner celebrating our beloved graduate. We basically had our own private room in a back wing of a nice, modern restaurant, and service was on point. They had a soft shell crab sandwich as a special which I couldn't turn down and was glad I didn't. Exceptional with a nice lemon aioli. Other folks loved the meat--particularly the French onion burger which was unique, as well as the steak frites. Definitely kick in the extra $2 for the flavorful truffle fries if that's as option for you. Perhaps they try to swing a little too much for the fences with some of their specials in some cases, though--my fiancée ordered a "Grilled Swordfish BLT" - I mean, it was swordfish over risotto that had bacon and arugula in it--a nice twist on a traditional dish--but felt a little bit like they were trying too hard to slap a weird culinary name on a normal dish. I also have to ding them a tiny bit for not having bread--only pita--and then charging $2 for the tiny, flavorless add-on. The older gen in particular was not happy with that development. However, the beer and wine selections were strong and the cocktails were on point--not usually my go-to, but my dessert espresso martini with a spot of Bailey's was just perfect. For the random folks who wanted a non-liquid dessert, the peanut butter cookie was quite popular. Not cheap, but largely delicious and overall felt reasonable given the quality of food and of experience. Perhaps I came in with a slightly snobby "probably won't be a great meal outside of the big city" kind vibe, but... they really delivered an overall great meal.

It feels like an upscale tavern in this place. They have a good beer menu to though the vast majority of it is not on draft. Came here with my family. We were seated quickly, without a reservation on a Saturday evening. Unfortunately at 6:30 PM they were out of the item I ordered off the specials menu was not available. The service, while friendly was spotty at best. Long waits between drink orders / delivery as well and the food service was extremely slow as well. My wife was brought the completely wrong dish. The silverware was cleared away before they could even bring her the correct dish. 15 minutes later my wife, who has still not received the correct dish. Asks to speak to the manager. Who arrived right as her dish did and attempted to make things right. As a final kicker.I was completely ignored by our waiter when our dessert order was taken. I know that mistakes happen but this was not cool. The way we were treated turned what could have been a nice family celebration into a pain. On a positive note, the beef barbacoa I had was tasty. My daughter's peanut butter skillet was amazing.

Went for my son's birthday as he attends Fairfield. The arrive and food was extraordinary. Dishes were so fresh and services was superb. If we lived in the area we would be going back often, will definitely be going back. Got to meet the owner and wife who were extremely nice and recommended the desert to finish off the meal.

So if I had to pick a restaurant that surprised me the most in 2024- it would be this. Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS. I was expecting just a regular average meal. I don't even know what made us try this place. It looked dark and closed but I felt like a new place. I'm telling you -- give it a try! The Autumn Salad was the most delicious salad I've had. The pasta bolognese was perfection -- But right now they unfortunately are no longer doing the lamb bolognese with the mint. The white sauce they switched to is still good. But I'll give any restaurant that cooks pasta perfectly al dente 5 stars.

We really enjoyed being in the back room which only has 4 tables because it meant it was easy to hear the conversation. Food was good except some of the dishes we wanted were sold out. Service was very good - Jackie was friendly, well spoken and attentive.

Chef owned and run and the love of food and service showed. Food was outstanding--but the service and attention we got from the staff may have been even better! Felt comfortable and at home and enjoyed every bite. The spring menu just started and our group had perfect arugula salad with strawberries and feta, amazing spicy long peppers and sausage with a whipped ricotta and beautiful dumplings to start. Each one of us loved our own entrees as well as each others. ( half chicken, steak frites, French onion burger to die for and unreal Dan dan noodles) And the desserts were brilliant as well. Cocktails were on point. Run don't walk. This place is fantastic.

Was busy (and loud) on a weekend night earlier this month but we were seated at time of reservation. We sat with menus for quite a while before being acknowledged by our server. Service was slow; server did apologize for kitchen being backed-up. Other tables were delivered fresh bread baskets, we never received. Crispy shrimp were good, salad was good, steak was good, chicken scarpiello was good. An expensive experience that wasn't perfect by any means so don't think we'll be rushing back anytime soon.

On food alone, this place is four stars. But overall Brick Walk is a solid three star place. Definitely worth trying out. The lamb, especially, is amazing. The menu is broad and covers many tastes and the serving sizes are big. Show up hungry!. Service was solid. One observation is they don't handle "busy" well. There's a stress level when they are busy that is palpable and permeates the staff. Perhaps it was an owner or manager but this person dressed in a chef's jacket was "expediting" the front of the house but arguably was only making things worse and stressing out the staff. It was awkward. It didn't ruin our experience at all but impacted it to be sure. The bar is nice and the drinks are good. It's not a bar that's well designed for a crowd If you don't hard a seat at the bar or a bar table you'll feel "in the way" as staff rushes about. Give them a try, reservations strongly suggested and perhaps go in a quieter night for a more relaxed experience.

On a Saturday night, they found a table for two. The menu is somewhat limited, but there is enough there. I had the Lomo Saltado, and my wife had the steak frites. Both were excellent. After dinner, we were allowed to move to the couches in front of the fireplace, where we ordered two more drinks. The drinks were well-mixed, and not overly sweet. We sat by the fire, enjoying the heat and ambiance. All the while, we were checked on several times, given fresh water, and asked if we wanted anything else. We were very impressed with the food, and even more so, the level of service. A great experience!

Terrific crispy shrimp, great onion burger. Bit the autumn salad was overly infused with cinnamon. Overriding flavor. Worth going for the eggnog alone.

The food here is wonderful. Everything is fresh and delicious. My skate was perfectly prepared and the creamy fergola was a great accompaniment. Only slight issue was the noise factor but once we moved out of the lounge area that was quickly resolved. I will def be back.

Finally got to try this well known Fairfield restaurant! Very friendly greetings and nice atmosphere. Initial cocktails were delicious, cosmo and Bloody Mary. Appetizers (sorry no pics bc we gobbled them too quickly) were great. Their special crispy Korean cauliflower and chili garlic crispy (not really) shrimp are must haves, I'd say. Entrees were great. We had burrata chicken parm, dry aged ny strip on the bone, steak frites and chicken fingers. All were great. The ny strip was flavorful, a bit pricy at $75 and be careful if you prefer your steak less cooked, you might consider medium rare if you usually order medium. The steak frites comes with a demi glacé and is a smaller portion, but tender. Daughter had the chicken fingers and loved them (not an easy critic). Chicken burrata was a hit, as well. I had two tastes of red and both were great. Overall, great experience and we will be back!

In our local Facebook groups, Brick Walk Tavern is consistently highly rated, for food and service, so I finally made it over there, with my daughter. And I'm so glad I did, and can't wait to go again. Service was fantastic from the moment we entered. The interior is very nice and there are some amazing historical photos on the walls. Food was superb! We started with shrimp shumai, which were out of this world! My daughter had burger and some of the best fries I've ever hard. I had a delicious swordfish with risotto, and we finished with ice cream and for me, an espresso martini. There was also a great wine list, and I tried a few new white wines, per recommendation of our server. This is one of those places where it's worth the money! Especially for special occasions, or if you're a foodie. So happy to have this place in Fairfield!

We visited this restaurant over the summer and I realized I never added a well deserved review. If I could give more stars I would!! The service was on point, the staff was attentive, friendly and offered suggestions. The Chef Dave even came to check on us and chat about the restaurant and how we located it. The appetizers were both delicious we had the white bean dip and crispy spicy shrimp. I could eat the shrimp every day, I looked the cilantro. For meals I had the Seafood Boil Special, the waiter brought out a huge stack of napkins and a handful of handy wipes. It was messy deliciousness and I loved everything about it. My husband had a delicious Mac and cheese that he thoroughly enjoyed. The menu does change often, but just from looking at the pictures on social media there is a lot of attention put into every dish.

I had a lovely dinner with friends at this awesome restaurant in Fairfield. The food was cooked to perfection and the service was great. I had a really fun evening and this place never disappoints! The grilled whole fish with broccoli rabe is my favorite dish that I order every time! The verdict-- everyone loved the food and had an awesome experience. Will definitely return!

This is an establishment that consistently does all the important things right. They handle busy nights extremely well; we went last night on graduation night and the service was perfect and everything happened quickly. The food is extremely flavorful. We had the steak frites, Korean cauliflower and the swordfish. Everything was absolutely delicious and I wish we could do it all over exactly the same. 5 stars. Thanks to a great place!

I had another meal here recently and it was better than last time! Our server told us they changed up the menu a bit, but the food was still just as great. I got the Asian marinated sirloin and it was great. It also came with a nice plate of fried rice. Nothing much changed about the ambiance, but outdoor seating was available so that's a plus. If you're nearby, give this place a shot.

I came here for my birthday with my friends. We were seated in the back room. Service was awesome and food and drinks were even better. We started off with several appetizers: crispy shrimp, cauliflower, dumplings. Most of ordered the steak frites and we were so focused on our meals I don't even know what the other end of the table got.

Another yummy meal, we haven't been here in 5 months and It was just as good as our last visit! This time around we ate at the bar (since we didn't have a reservation). Saturday nights get busy, highly recommend reservations! Food came out quick, attentive bartender and staff. Tried a lot of the apps, and for main we had the chicken scarpello with cherry pepper Risotto. Chicken was great, incredibly juicy. Happy to see that this place is thriving, it's just what Fairfield county needed!

Another 10/10 night at Brick Walk Tonight we got a fan favorite the Paccheri Pasta. It was actually the dish that made me fall in love with Brick Walk Tavern over a year ago! We also got the White Bolognese which has become a new favorite of ours and is served highly recommended by our waiter. Brick Walk is deff on the pricey side but the generous portions totally make up for it couldn't say enough great things about his place

So I came here for a work dinner once. The place is spacious. I'd describe the place as elevated bar setting. Crispy shrimp was good. Korean cauliflower had great flavor and mix of cripiness and tenderness. I ended up with the steak frites. Fries had a great crunch. Steak was well flavored.

Saturday night after dinner we wanted to grab drinks since we were not ready to call it a night , looked on yelp to see what was available this place seemed to be the best option. we came in & sat at the bar drinks I had the BWT Aperol Spritz not bad , decent taste , good on the alcohol hubby had the Private beach bonfire decent as well. they certainly have interesting names for the cocktails, decent music playing & plenty of Tv's that were playing sports. Cute place , nice atmosphere but they close too early by 10 on a Saturday ? not sure if this is due to covid but oh well our night was not very long here. The place served it's purpose for drinks.

There's nothing not to like about this place, it's my favorite restaurant. The food is absolutely wonderful, creative and each visit is different as the menu is always changing and provides a wide-ranging selection of dishes. The vibe is casual and comfortable yet elevated and the service always on point. The owners David and Ted (David is also head chef) are good people who care about their customers. Dine here, you won't regret it.

No Protein For you! We were very excited to dine here and had been looking forward towards dinner with friends. We had to change the time of our reservation, as well as, the size of our party and the restaurant could not have been more helpful. Our overall experience was just OK, (the food was very good) but that was based upon how rigid the restaurant was in our request for additional bread for the hummus dip (couldn't have more bread without paying for another serving) and our request to add a protein to a salad (wouldn't do it). I will say that these 2 items will absolutely prevent us from going back; the restaurant should be ashamed that this is how they treat guests and they need to realize there are many, many good options in the area.

Already looking forward to my next meal here, it was that good! We dropped in for brunch on a Sunday around 1pm. I had the House Smoked Salmon and the salmon was like buttah. Just melted in your mouth, hands down the best salmon I've ever had. I savored every single bite of my bagel with their lemon scallion cream cheese. My husband ordered the Corned Beef Hash with Poached Eggs and he was thoroughly happy with his meal. We also ordered the NY Cheesecake and the Expresso Ice cream for dessert both delicious and the presentation was on point. The only reason, I am giving it 4 stars is because the service was very slow. Their staff looked young and maybe they just don't have the experience? Clearly, they have some kinks to work out here. Expect to sit for over 2 hours, that's how slow it was. A table that sat after us, got their meal before us and left before we got served. Another table next to us, was so upset with the service they asked to talk to a manager. Completely, unorganized. They were very pleasant workers and apologized multiple times. The worse part is, it wasn't even busy and they were efficiently staffed.

Decided to try this place for lunch after reading some of the early reviews and I was quite impressed. The restaurant is nicely decorated. Two areas to dine we sat in the lounge area which had a beautiful fire place, bar area and tables not high and regular tables. The staff was quick to take care of us, really no wait at all we were there for lunch. I ordered the prime burger and my girlfriend ordered the New England chowder. Both were packed with flavor, so delicious. My burger was thick, juicy and packed with flavor. Cooked at the perfect temperature. The Chowder was delicious. To finish the meal we had the espresso dessert and it was so good. A great combination of sweet and salty with caramel. Out of this world!!!

On a recent trip to Fairfield this place came up. The food was amazing!! I asked our server for recommendations, to which she said "it's all good". She didn't lie, we tried 3 different dishes and an appetizer, IT WAS ALL GREAT! Very nice spot for a quiet dinner with great food & service!

This restaurant is a gem. The hostess was cordial, accommodating and sat our party right away. We did not have to wait long to be visited by or server. What is amazing about this restaurant is they change the menu almost daily, creating more anticipation for the clientele. So there is a great variety of appetizers offered along with salads. The apps were amazing. Our party had the brisket, but he sea bass and of course a few burgers. Absolutely amazing and satiating everyone. The best was by far the dessert. The spice cake with toffee syrup and vanilla ice cream - off the charts. This dessert goes to 11. By far a top 3 dessert I have ever eaten. Props to the pastry chef - and from what I understand she makes the desserts fresh every day. The desert cake was warm and a wonderful contrast to the cold vanilla ice cream. We WILL be returning!!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Brick Walk Tavern. The food is always amazing, and the atmosphere is lovely. An example of their warm heartedness is when I wanted to have a dinner party in my home. I absolutely love their Berkshire Pork Pappardelle and wanted to serve the dish to my guests. David, the chef and owner, put together the ingredients, packaged everything and gave me PERFECT instructions for cooking and assembling. It was an incredible evening and everyone enjoyed the meal. Nothing was left on their plates. Thank you to David! I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.

Parking: In a busy plaza but there were still a few open spots, if not you also have street parking as well. Decor: Very clean and nice...not too much tacky stuff on the walls though they do 100% need to add noise cancellation pads to the ceiling as it does get quite loud. Staff: I had a waitress named Sara and she was amazing. Great suggestions, foods she has tried, and how the menu changes often. Food: Very well prepared, though not costing them a star, our reservations were for 7:30 and the were already sold out of menu items, which for me is a serious issue...almost a point reduction. Price: About average for the location and quality of the food. Overall: It is a place that I would go back to for additional meals and service.

I spoke with the owner and chef Dave a month ahead about booking the private room for a bachelorette party. He was so friendly & accommodating. We ended up booking it for a party of 7 and I cannot say enough good things about our experience. We did the 3 course menu option which is $125 per person and included an appetizer, dinner, dessert and unlimited coffee, tea, still water and sparkling water. First off, the private room is this cozy, dimly lit room off to the back of the restaurant. I loved how private it was and quiet so it was perfect for conversation we didn't have to talk over the noise of the restaurant of music! The owner came in to say hello and allowed us control over our music playlist. The server was friendly and attentive. Oh and the food.....all I can say is WOW!! We all shared our appetizers so we were able to get a taste of everything and they were all delicious! I ordered the tilefish for dinner and I've never had a fish like it before. The center was melt in your mouth but the outside layer had a crispy skin on it that was amazing. The menu changes weekly but there was such a variety on it that I'm sure everyone could easily find something.

This is a really good restaurant and is five stars. Not four stars or 4.5 stars but an absolute five star experience. So I wound up here, because I was in the area at a local Orthopedist after taking a nasty fall some time ago and tearing my ACL. (Happy 2019!!). Upon leaving the good doctor, I was famished as were the two ever so wonderful people who accompanied me to said Doctor. We originally tried to go somewhere else but that place was closed. I whipped out Yelp and that was what brought me to Brick Walk. Thanks Connecticut Yelpers! The ambiance here is quite nice and the menu was full of interesting and varied dishes, everything ranging from traditional burgers, which is what I had, to Octopus. Our server was quite sweet. Unfortunately, I was not feeling to good and did not get her name. But she was great. I got a burger platter. So did one of the people with me and the other got Zucchini Feta in Pesto. We were also given some yummy starter bread. I should say this place is on the pricey side. But it is Fairfield after all. But we were skeptical. I am happy to say the food was great..all of it. You know how when the conversation stops during meals it's because everyone must be really really enjoying their food? That was us. I don't think a word was exchanged except a few "wows". I mean it. I do not give five stars all that easily but this place is a must try. I am also a picky eater, particularly about my burgers as is the other person who got the burger who maybe pickier than me. We both LOVED it. And the Fries were so good..among some of the best ever. My friend who got the Zucchini loved her meal as well. Verdict from the three of us..five, five and five stars. Will be putting this place on my list to try again.

We tried this restaurant while visiting the area. Many reviews raved about the food, however we were a little underwhelmed. We had the crispy shrimp and bone marrow to start. The bone marrow was very good and would definitely suggest. We found the shrimp to be small and drowning in the sauce. That was disappointing because this dish is one they tend to keep on the rotating menu because so many people rave about them. For our main meal we had the steak frites, which was solid and the shredded kale and truffle salad, which was also decent. The ambiance was nice in the bar area. Over all, we had a good experience but didn't feel as if the food lived up to many of the reviews that claimed this was the best restaurant in town.

Last night we had a reservation for a farewell party for a friend who loves this restaurant. I specifically mentioned the special occasion when making the reservation. When we got there we were seated in the dark noisy corner of the bar (they may make it sound nice using "tavern" but it is the bar area.) I went up to the woman who seated us and said this was a special occasion as I mentioned in our reservation and could they not do a better table for us - the dining room was half empty. After discussion with the man there they moved us to a better and quieter table still in the bar area. The food was good to very good (except the new mustard green salad which was okay but not very good) and except for a mishap in which one person got a lesser wine than she ordered (which was rectified) the rest of the evening went fine. It should be noted that the dining room never did fill up and we could have easily been seated there. I mentioned that to the woman at the desk and she said those had been reserved but the people decided to sit in the bar. We were in the bar - it didn't fill up with people - that simply was not true. I will never return to Brick Walk. It was my second time there and it is pricey with mostly good food but the way we were treated both times makes this a no go for me.

Every once in a while you go somewhere and say, "Wow, these people really know what they're doing!!" The folks at Brick Walk Tavern do know what they're doing and the proof is in the wonderful dishes that show up at your table. Many of these dishes show inventiveness or a different approach to a classic: grilled cheese gets a refined makeover and shrimp arrives with a spicy, crispy upgrade. As the name implies, the restaurant is part of the Brick Walk development along Fairfield's Post Road. There are a few gems nearby, but I think BWT is among the best. It's much larger than it appears when you first walk up with dining rooms and a bar in the back, but to be safe you can reserve a spot on OpenTable. Thanks to that reservation we were promptly seated and welcomed by the always friendly and professional staff. The menu is quite extensive. You could easily show up with a group with diverse tastes and everyone would be happy. Last night there was a full list of specials in addition to the lengthy menu, which includes Tavern Classics and Chef's Inspiration. The former includes tried and true items like chicken parmesan and steak frites, while the latter includes the aforementioned shrimp and chickpea eggplant "meatballs." We started with deviled eggs from the specials menu. It was a throwback to a few years ago when new versions of the retro classic popped up on menus everywhere. The specials version came with an Asian twist, the yolk filling was mixed with Asian spices, topped with a potato crisp and placed upon a creamy sauce. These takes on the old party favorite are usually interesting and this one was also pleasing. I started with the tuscan kale and brussel sprouts salad. The two main ingredients are shredded and presented artfully. The presentation, evocative of chic city establishments, is complemented by polenta croutons, dried cranberries, and a lemon truffle vinaigrette. See, they know how to turn what could be another boring salad into a work of art that also tastes as good as it looks! The tasty crispy shrimp is another standout dish. Again, this could be a pretty standard option, but Brick Walk Tavern takes it to another level with a light batter which provides the crisp and a chili sauce which brings the kick. The shrimp is topped with cilantro, green onion, and radish, which all makes for an attractive dish served on a slate tray. Our server, who was wonderful, said this one was a crowd favorite and it was easy to see why. Vegans rejoice, there is a great option here with the chickpea eggplant meatballs. If you have ever had the eggplant meatballs at B.Good, they're like those, but with a fancy restaurant treatment. Five large "meatballs" were served over red sauce and arranged around a ratatouille stack. Having been made with chickpea and eggplant, these are softer than the meat version, but just as flavorful with a perfect mix of seasonings to go along with the sauce and a drizzle of pesto. It's a hearty serving and I left feeling full --- and very pleased! The BWT Grilled Cheese is an adult version of the childhood favorite with a mozzarella cheese subbing in for the American slices, joined by olive tapenade, roasted red pepper, speck, and arugula - all of which earned a big thumbs up!! The fries that came with the sandwich were perfect, just like the French fries you'd get in Paris (minus the mayo for dipping). I would say that Brick Walk Tavern is an excellent option for a night out with family or friends. I recommended it to a friend today for a first date - wonderful food, but still fun and casual. Finally, I should note that I came here because I had a gift card which covered part of the bill. The owners donated to a local charity and the card was part of a silent auction package, so hats off to the BWT crew for doing good while also creating amazing food. Thank you for everything!

I guess I should have read the menu before coming here. I figured with Tavern in the name, it would serve pub like food with fair prices. $36 for meatloaf...is that Kobe beef?...$35 for linguine with clams...are there pearls in those clams? I understand food costs are up but that's ridiculous considering I can buy littlenecks for 40 cents a clam. What do you think the restaurant pays? I ended up getting a salad and burger which were nothing special. The wife had a fish special which she said was ok. We had a couple drinks.The server was great so I tipped good. Out the door was about $150. We ate at Don Angie in Manhattan a couple months ago for the same price. No comparison.

We came here for the first time for Saturday brunch around one. We were able to park in the lot right next to them and were seated immediately. Our service the whole time was very friendly and just a touch slow, but nothing markable. The ambiance of the place is well-styled and impressive. For food we ordered the hangover cure, stuffed french toast, and lemon ricotta pancakes between us. Of the three, I enjoyed the stuffed french toast most. The hangover breakfast was your standard eggs and meat plate. Their house made sausage was very good, but for me, nothing memorable. The pancakes, again, were standard. The ricotta was good while the blackberry sauce was a bit too bitter and a little overpowering. We scraped most of it off to the side. The French toast was tasty. The bacon inside was a bit overpowering to me. It added a lot of meatiness to a dish that wanted to be sweet. I enjoyed it, but I didn't have the impacted I hoped for. Overall, we had a fine meal with no real flaws, but also nothing that impressed me greatly. There's other places I'm more excited to go back to first.

I came here for the first time with my Dad for their Sunday Italian Dinner and it blew me away! You received so much food and it was all fantastic. The space is big and very warm. The bar area is very nice and has quite a few stools. All the staff were attentive and quick to get rid of empty plates. I had an Italian Rosé Prosecco and it was the best Prosecco I have ever had, I took a picture of the name so I can try to find it on my own. For the first course we received stuffed mushrooms, calamari and shrimp, stuffed sausage bread and Caesar salad. The stuffed mushrooms and bread were my favorite. They both had so much flavor. For the second course we received Grandmas Sunday Sauce which came with so much meat: meatballs, beef, pork, and sausage, and it was all delicious. The third course was chicken cutlets and they were cooked perfectly. We also received desserts which were good, I'm just not a huge Italian dessert person. I can't wait to come back here and try more dishes! This is a great spot in town.
