Great little diner in a strip mall across from a car dealership. Went for a late breakfast and was greeted by a friendly server who told us to take a seat anywhere. Our coffee was great and lots of refills. We both ordered the Greek Omelette. They were out of home fries, no biggie, so I got steak fries and my friend got curly fries. Both great. We ordered the corn beef hash which I thought the seasoning was good but my friend said she had better. The service was great.

We were driving to Lenny & Joeâs but someone said Lobster Landing was better. We were so disappointed. It was a shack, porto potties - dump...and more expensive. Lobster meat was scraps, not big chunks.

Just off a fishing charter, my brother has been telling me about this place for years, owners and we have a hometown, high school connection. Enough history, really nice upscale pub atmosphere, dropped in mid afternoon good beer selection, super friendly service, just a real comfy feeling, had some wings which were excellent and saw some big trimesters sandwiches coming out from kitchen. Really nice place

We had eaten here before and found it to be good. We met here before heading over to spend the afternoon at Hammonasette State Park, it is conveniently located a short distance from the park.We shared the fried avocado appetizer, then all ordered the Reuben which we enjoyed very much. The food is good and reasonably priced. The service is OK.Â

It had been many years since I last visited Friends and Company, but my next visit will much sooner. We experienced a comfortable atmosphere with a warm fire going. The waitress Ann was very friendly and helpful. The swordfish special was wonderfully done and topped by a salsa. The main dishes all include a choice of salads. The wine choices included excellent cabernat's and pinot noir's, which we enjoyed. I will be visiting again soon.

We have been to Elizabethâs many times over the years. The atmosphere is cozy and warm and the food is consistently creative and excellent. The salad with goat cheese is my favorite. the fried oysters are truly delicious, the swordfish is melt in your mouth amazing, and generally everything we have had has been superb. We have also had them cater a few events and the food and service are superior .

Last time there I figured a Caesar salad served on a hot plate fresh from the dishwasher was an oversight but nope, happened again. This time I didnât bother asking them to switch it out... too much trouble. Maybe itâs just me but a salad slowly wilting and heating up in a hot dish is gross. Caesar Salad itself is good but the grilled chicken is definitely bought pre-cooked and is a bit rubbery. Will return to sit outside but certainly not while the outside is closed... food just isnât good enough.

Quaint restaurant in downtown Madison, Connecticut. Open roof in back for summer early evening dining. Good for Vegetarian, seafood and Asian fusion cuisine.

This deservedly popular restaurant has the most beautiful view of LI Sound and across to Long Island. Right on Madison Beach, the covered veranda is a choice spot for meals while watching sailboats right offshore. Connected to the gorgeous AAA Four Diamond-rated Madison Beach Hotel in the pretty town of Madison CT, this was a perfect spot for our summer lunch with friends. The food was exceptional - everything we had was delicious from mussels, sandwiches and salads. However although the waitstaff was very pleasant, service was really odd. We had to ask twice for our table water glasses to be filled, some of us got lunch menus and others got dinner menus (replaced with apologies), no spoons were provided with the soup, a couple of glasses of wine took 15 minutes to arrive as did later coffee and a plate was snatched from one diner while they were reaching for a french fry. Not what one expects from such an upscale place. We are always happy to be patient when a restaurant is popular and busy and no one of these issues was really terrible, but the cumulative effect was one of inattentive service. That said, we would definitely go again and would guess that a Sunday brunch here would be wonderful.Dear VoyagesByTwo -Thank you for your review! I regret that our service was not up to par, and appreciate your frank and valuable comments. We take great pride in our level of service and I regret that we missed the mark with your table. Please come again so we can provide the experience you expected and deserve. And, yes, we have a fabulous Sunday brunch!
