I ordered the mushroom ravioli. I went to take my first bite however and found they'd brought out the lobster ravioli instead. After awhile of waiting they brought out the correct meal. They did comp the ravioli which was very nice and aside from the small mix up we had great service throughout. We'll definitely come back but it is pricier than our average meal out.

Everything is brought out in ONE shot! Soup, salad, appetizers all at one time with the entree arriving very shortly thereafter - and at times WITH the aforementioned! Even when I mention this to the server, we still always wind up with everything at once or the main entrees coming less than a minute after the salad and or appetizer dishes get picked up! WHY? That happened this time as well and we watched it take place at the table next to us. The MAIN problem at this location is that the food prep is just not in line with the time you get your order. Food is regularly brought cold from sitting. For the third consecutive time, one of us ordered their 7-Pepper Sirloin Salad to experience the same debacle as in the past. Cold chilled salad topped with what was supposed to be warm to hot sirloin tips - but they were COLD... AGAIN! Between that and their weak drinks, I really have to find a new place when in the mood for steak and in the Danbury area.

Not trying it would be a crime! Our Outlaw Ribeye is bone-in, well-marbled, fire-grilled, juicy, and delicious.

LongHorn’s New York Strip is fire-grilled to enhance its distinctive flavor, this thick cut is a steakhouse classic.

Soup or Salad, an entree, and a glass of wine. So that's what we chose to do. Seated quickly by Michael. He is so nice! He actually remembered us from last time. Gave us the special menu and gave us time to think. My husband automatically noticed that the soup or salad option had a third option. We both chose that although the minestrone soup sounded real good too. Like last time, water and toasted bread was brought quickly, as well as our wine (Pinot and Merlot which were both good). Starters arrived next, which we devoured. I chose the penne vodka, hubby chose the eggplant. We couldn't finish so took home leftovers. Food is cooked to order. So we were prepared to wait. I didn't think it took that long, but others might think so in this fast paced world. Bear that in mind. Great food is worth the wait. Also, because in our last visit, noticed how quickly the restaurant filled up, we made reservations for 5pm. If you don't want to be disappointed plan ahead or be prepared to wait. A lot of people love this place so it fills up quickly. So if you haven't eaten here before and want to try a great Italian restaurant, this is it. Oh, what was the third option?

After reading positive reviews and looking at photos, I decided to give it a try and it was a total success. I like that there's plenty of parking in the lot of the center where the restaurant is located. It's a great looking place and we were greeted warmly when we walked in and seated at our table. Service was immediate and professional. We opted to sit inside but they do have a lot of tables outside so if it's nice out, that's a great option. They had a special appetizer of zucchini, shrimp and cheese which sounded great and it was. It could have been served a little bit warmer but the flavor was fantastic. I had the Brookfield Old Fashioned as a cocktail as it was served with a fig and I'm pro-fig! It was really good and very strong. Luckily, I wasn't driving and my husband had a mocktail (virgin hibiscus mojito) which he also loved. For my entree, I chose the 10 oz NY Strip, thinking it would be too big. I was wrong about that and ate about half of it before starting to get full. It was cooked very well and served with amazing mashed potatoes and some vegetables. I took the other half of the steak home and cooked it up with some eggs and biscuits the next morning...it was perfect. After another cocktail, we opted to split a tiramisu and it was delicious. Prices are about on par with nicer restaurants in the area. There were a lot of things on the menu I'd love to try, including their flatbreads, seafood tower and Mediterranean salad, so we will definitely have to go back.

Michael, our server, was attentive, but not overbearing. Gave us time to look over the menu, and after receiving our food, checked in here and there to make sure everything was to our liking. Side note: the bus boys here work their little tails off! They are constantly doing something, including packing up food! For food, started off with the fresh bread. My boyfriend had the chicken parm (he loved it, that's the only thing he gets at any Italian place, so that says something). They also honored his request to have Alfredo sauce instead of red sauce on his side of pasta without hesitation. I had the chicken francese and I loved the flavor of the sauce while the chicken was perfectly cooked. The sauce was a bit runny/liquidy, which I'm not used to, but the flavor made up for it. That being said, the Alfredo sauce was also a bit on the runny side as well, but my boyfriend liked it that way, so no complaints here.
