I'm back. It's been a year or two since I was last here. I'm doing the Happy Hour this time. The…read morerestaurant is located on 1410 Highland Ave in Cheshire, CT. Here's a little more about it: https://www.butcherbros.net/about-us. This is a beautiful place! The cocktails are only $10 each (house liquors). For my first drink, I'm having the Smoked Old Fashioned made with Crow 86 (normally Angel's Envy), Luxardo juice, orange bitters and orange spritz. That's different. I love the smell of the smoke! This tastes great! It's properly garnished, chilled and balanced. Wow! They also bring out some bread and a delicious red sauce made with olive oil, garlic parmesan and red peppers. This is very good! I apologize for not taking pictures earlier before I dug in! Add about 3-4 more pieces of bread. For my first item, I'm having the mini crab cakes. A crab cake is a popular American seafood dish made from crab meat mixed with binders like breadcrumbs or crackers, mayonnaise, eggs, and seasonings such as Old Bay, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, then formed into patties and cooked by baking, frying, or broiling. Add that lime to bring out the true flavor of this dish! This smells real good! Oh yeah! These are good! For my next appetizer, I'm trying the Brother Street Tacos made with chicken and topped with cole slaw and peppercorn aioli. These are pretty big! I like the use of the metal taco holders. Use that lime! These are delicious! For my next appetizer, I'm having four oysters (Chesapeake Bay). This is another rare treat for me. Oysters are saltwater bivalve mollusks, prized as seafood for their briny, mineral-rich flavor and high nutritional content, including zinc, iron, and vitamins. These aren't bad for cholesterol and have high nutritional content. For my next drink, I'm having The Best Manhattan made with Crow 66, Tribuno Sweet Vermouth, Amaro Montenegro, a dash of Luxardo lower served in a short martini glass. I love the cute umbrella! Ah yes! This is good! It had a great garnish including the umbrella/Luxardo cherry, well chilled and nicely balanced. Look at this beautiful presentation! I will admit I'm afflicted to the horseradish. That stuff is strong! Sprinkle that lemon! These oysters are huge! These are fantastic! For my next item, I'm having the Soup of the Day - shrimp and corn chowder. I'm not sure I've ever had this before. This is pretty! I love the baguette floaters and sprinkle of cheddar cheese! This is super hot and yummy! For dessert, I'm having the creme brûlée served with homemade "shlag" (whipped cream). Crème brûlée is a classic French dessert featuring a rich, creamy custard base topped with a contrasting layer of hard, caramelized sugar that is torched or broiled to a crisp, brittle finish. I love the whipped cream and cherry on top. Oh yeah! This is good! I'm also having a cup of black coffee. Ah. That's good! What a great meal here!

The greenery outside of the restaurant is so beautiful and on a beautiful day sitting outside would be a must ! I went to Viron Rondo for lunch with my family and we are glad we did. Although I want to be honest for families with little babies and toddlers. This isn't a family friendly spot. There is no changing tables in the bathroom or tables to place bags on in the bathroom. As a mother- this matters to me so want to help someone else out. The inside is huge and spacious though. The food is freshly made to order in nice huge portions!! Everything was delicious. But we did struggle to get our waitress. Service could use some help as dishes weren't removed from the table until asked. The bread that is provided is soft/flavorful and delicious !!! We got muscles for and appetizer and OmG !! So tender and sauce was so good I couldn't stop dipping the house made bread in it. My mom got the pulpo (octopus) for her lunch with a side of jumbo shrimp. Let me tell you that pulpo was tenderrrrr and one of the best we've ever had !! I had the apple salad with jumbo shrimp! First it's the best salad!! And it can last you for 3 days it's so much!! If they work on service I would so give this place 5 stars. (Oh and my aunt was charged for a club soda with lemon- that's another little downfall) but the martinis were perfectly made and worth the money for sure !!

Our server was knowledgeable of gluten free options on the menu, which was great. They start every table with potato chips and a yummy aioli, truly addicting! For food, the filet mignon was perfection. A previous time I came, they had shrimp and scallops in a saffron cream with wild rice and market vegetables and it was DIVINE! The menu does change so that dish wasn't listed this recent time that we went. It would be amazing if they brought it back as a permanent dish!!! For drinks, I loved by Buzzin in Bikini Bottom cocktail! It is my favorite! My fiancé liked the Negroni and Julep as well, but loved my drink above those. I'd definitely recommend going to Six One Nine for a date night or dinner outing!

The restaurant had been on my radar for quite a while as I had somehow found you in my Instagram…read morefeed and I had wanted to try it for the longest time, but since it was so out of the way for me, I had no idea as to when I would ever try it. Then came this past Thanksgiving weekend where it required traveling on I-84 from Cape Cod to get to Danbury and my mom, sister and I decided to try you out. Now, I am in the dog house because they want to know when the next time that we are going. I had the chicken club and it was absolutely delicious. A huge piece of chicken with plenty of flavor. My sister had the short rib sandwich and was raving about it once we continued our drive saying she was so glad she had it even though she had short ribs herself for dinner the previous night. I don't know if that's an indictment on her cooking or what, but she loved it. The star however was the cod dinner that mom had. It was one of the flakiest and freshest pieces of fish she had ever had. We got a very late start to our trip, so by the time 2:00 came on the Saturday afternoon came, we practically had the whole place to ourselves. The only gripe that we had ( not that we necessarily would have changed anything ) was that we noticed after we ordered that the table next to us got a specials menu and we didn't. It was nice and quiet as our waitress let us have a quiet late lunch and if we were ever in the area ever again, we would make a b-line back to the restaurant.

The birria tacos were an embarrassingly small amount, 2 small tacos, for $18. Son said the sauce was more BBQ than birria My pulled.chicken tacos were 3 for $16, so a better portion size, but the seasoning made the chicken taste more like beef. Again, not as enjoyable. The Burger was cooked perfectly, but had no flavor. Husband said supermarket beef had more flavor. The handcut fries were terrific. Cooked perfectly. But they couldn't make up for the main meals not being worth it. Not going back.

The Brussels sprout salad was top-notch--packed with flavor and one of my favorite dishes of the night. The pasta was also excellent, with a perfectly balanced creamy sauce that wasn't too heavy. I especially liked how they presented all the dessert options, making it fun to choose. We ended up ordering the pistachio cake, but unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite. It tasted much saltier than expected rather than sweet. I'm not sure if it was due to the cream cheese or the pistachios themselves, but the flavor felt a bit off for a dessert. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

The restaurant was still decorated for the holidays and everything looked beautiful from the lights and wreaths to all the fireplaces. After we arrived they brought out bread with some oil, parmesan and chili flakes for dipping. For our entrees, we tried the Filet, the Asian salmon and the shrimp and chicken dish. Everyone was very pleased with the taste and presentation. Our group stuck around and talked for a while and no one tried to rush us out which made for a very nice evening.

We just got back from dinner at Millpond Steakhouse. We were celebrating 3 June birthdays. Things…read morestarted out great! The restaurant has great ambience- think Yellowstone vibes inside. Warm and welcoming. We were all happy with our appetizers and drinks. I had a Mediterranean feta dip. My husband had an orange salad, my sister in law the beet salad and my brother in law had the burrata salad. We all loved what we had. Cocktails were great, The guys had old fashioneds. I tried my husbands and it was nice and smooth with hints of honey. My sister in law and I had white raspberry vodka martinis. Again smooth and refreshing. At this point, we all would've given the place a solid five. That is until the steaks came. Three of us had the dry aged ribeyes we ordered them medium rare. They were served well done. Not a hint of red or pink! The waitress asked us to cut into them to see if they were to our liking. We all said they were overcooked. Not the waitresses fault. She was great. We asked what they did with overdone ones sent back and she said they 86'd them. We couldn't bare throwing all that food out so we ate them. The char on the outside was good but we feel that's what caused them to be overdone. The flavor was ok but at $68 a plate you expect your steak to be served the way you requested it. We were very disappointed and no compensation was offered. By the way, the guy at the table behind us sent his back because it was overdone as well. My husband had the surf and turf special filet with shrimp over mashed potatoes. He was happy with his meal. It's a beautiful place and we were happy with everything except the steak. But that's a big except when that is the reason we went there. If you go and want medium rare ask for rare and you might get lucky. Otherwise stick to the tavern down below the steakhouse.
