However, when my husband asked the waiter which one we should pick. We were expecting to hear the taste from the waiter instead of him simply pointing to the expensive one. No fault on his part; I don't think people would have tried all the wine on the list. Not much description for the wine on the menu. We ordered a charcuterie board, salmon, and short rib for our dinner. They were good but could be better. The pâté de campagne on the charcuterie board was just meh. The truffle honey glaze is a good touch to the salmon dish but still feels overpowering the fish. I love the chef using different textures to tie all the ingredients together. As for the short rib, the fried truffle parm polenta is an interesting choice, but I am wondering if the potato pavé will do a better job.

From my understanding, it is a Christmas "pop-up" called Miracle. Since we just showed up without reservations, we sat at the bar, which was totally fine with us. The bartenders were very nice and offered up some recommendations. It turned out, my friend had gone to a Miracle pop-up at another bar weeks before, but hadn't realized it. The space is cozy and was very nicely decorated. I ordered an espresso martini off of their regular menu and my friend ordered the Candy Cane Lane. We didn't order food since we had dinner plans after. Our bill was $37.00, plus the $6 we left for a tip. For two cocktails that were good, but not fantastic, that is a little steep in my opinion. If we each had a second cocktail, it would have been close to $100. It's a bar in Newtown, not the casino. Would I go back? I would, just not during the holidays, and maybe a special occasion.

Woodbury Brewing Company is a craft brewpub that opened in Woodbury, Connecticut in December 2017…read more It was founded by friends and business partners Allan Cetrone, Tim Budrewicz, T.J. D'Alexander and Ken Mair. After he found his previous employer's ethical standards unconscionable, Cetrone decided to quit and find a new line of work. He and his friends frequently got together at a backyard barn man-cave which was complete with a fridge and kegerator. Cetrone had also been experimenting with his own homebrewed beers. Once their man cave became a popular spot for family gatherings, the four friends decided to open their own brewery. The taproom has a rustic saloon aesthetic (a nod to the friends' backyard barn man-cave) complete with a stage for live musical acts to perform. In addition to the housemade beer, WBC also serves wine, cider, craft cocktails, and a large menu of delicious food from their in-house kitchen. I recently visited Woodbury Brewing Company for the first time. I had heard that they host a lot of live music acts and I purchased a ticket to see Hudson Valley-based Rush tribute band "Limelight". I'm a HUGE Rush fan, so I was really excited to see the group perform. I arrived over an hour before the show started. I had a reserved table right by the stage. There was a modest crowd when I first arrived, but the whole taproom was packed by the time the show started. After looking over the menu, I decided to order the "Nashville Hot GIANT Chicken Sandwich" (hot honey, cajun spice, pickles, mayo) with "Sweet Potato Fries" as well as an order of "Cheese Curds" (served w/ house-made marinara). I was totally shocked when the food finally came to the table. When they say "giant chicken sandwiches", they mean GIANT! I could barely fit the sandwich into my mouth, but it was so delicious! The sweet potato fries were equally big and delicious, and the cheese curds were really good too! Throughout my visit, I enjoyed pours of "Yummy Beers" (Double New England IPA), "Collusion" (New England IPA), and "Barrel-Aged Don't Go Romanov" (Barrel-Aged Russian Imperial Stout). They were all surprisingly good! Limelight also gave an excellent performance to the very energetic crowd. Overall, I had quite an enjoyable evening and I'll definitely be back! I already have a ticket to another show!

There were a lot of staff for hardly any people but I'm assuming they were getting ready for a rush to come later. The ambiance is nice, it's decorated well and gives a bit of a speakeasy vibe. We got mocktails and two apps. The sliders and the French onion chicken nachos which were on the specials menu. Our drinks were good, they made me one special as I wasn't a fan of some of the ingredients in the mocktail options! My drink was well made and was really good! Service was decent but our waiter was hovering a lot. The food was nothing special. We liked the sliders but they were a little bland. They were still juicy and not overcooked and the sauce on them wasn't bad. Overall not much flavor. The chips for the nachos were overcooked and fried in what tasted like old oil as there was a burnt aftertaste. The chicken was just dry shredded chicken with virtually no seasoning. I understand why the Gruyère was used as the cheese, as that's what used in French onion soup, but Gruyère is not a good melting cheese. It was congealed/it broke and was in globs and we needed a fork and knife to cut through it. The only onions on the dish were crispy fried onions and scallions which didn't add the French onion flavor you'd expect. All in all after our experience we had this is not a place we'd return to.

For food we enjoyed the brewin' onion, made in-house, fresh not too salty and well seasoned. We also had lemon pepper wings and buffalo wings. My only critique is the lemon pepper is very very salty. Buffalo was delicious, very good sauce. Wings are great quality, fresh and meaty. Great prices, what a happy hour should be!
