Whoah! How times have changed. I used to get 4 banh mi under $20. Wow. How I took all that for granted. Now gotta spend almost 50% more. Thanks inflation and horrible economic times. But.....

A charming woodsy setting on a hill without any clutter around a very picturesque scene for this Texan. We had Calamari and Ahi Tuna for appetizers and Lobsters Roll, Fish Basket, Salmon Quinoa Bowl for entree. The Lobster Rolls were buttery savory delight on soft toasted bread. Salmon and Fish Basket was absolutely delicious and hands down this was our best meal while visiting the area. The Service was friendly,helpful and attentive during our meal. We're so glad we picked this location for our last meal out in Danbury.

My husband took me here for my birthday dinner months ago…read more The inside is cozy and welcoming and I loved the bar. We were seated by the window. I will say it can get quite loud in there when full which it was on a Saturday night. We shared a salad to start- it was some sort of winter salad with spinach. For mains he got a steak- the steak itself was well cooked and flavorful. The mashed potatoes normally his favorite side were quite bland. He had me try them and I agreed. 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. Hoping to try their brunch soon!

This restaurant has become one of my fast favorites. The services is top notch. Karen, is far and away the best server we have had at any local restaurant. She's wildly knowledgeable about all items on the menu and is a top-notch mixologist. And while I never frequented this space prior to its renovation, I understand that the upgrade is a massive one. I can say that the dining room and bar area are clean, pleasant, and very well conceived. If you haven't been here, seriously, try this spot out. Neither me nor anyone in my family have been served an item we don't absolutely love.

It's not bad, just not memorable. The menu changed a lot too. It's much smaller but the prices went up! So keep that in mind. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the new menu. I ordered one of the steaks and didn't realize it would come like pictured. It was tasty, but the menu lacks detail. I had a few questions about other items too. All the food we got was good! Anyways, I wish them luck! But just be aware there's a lot of changes if you haven't been in a while.

Same to the Crab legs overcooked and tasteless. Not many seafood selection for bbq/hotpot. Pineapple very sour, looks not ripe yet. We had hotpot and bbq. There's always missing items especially the meat, not giving much veggies for you very small bunch (few strings watercress) for 5 pp(seriously!) then I figured regardless you add 1 or 5 they give you same amount, long wait too. We just end up feelin " begging for food" because you have to keep ordering to get some food to show up, unlike the experience we had in Danbury. I'd rather drive over there to have a better attentive meal. It's so obvious they failed to performe like a buffet especially there's comparison i had in Danbury and harsdale, NY and New Jersey locations. Service is slow even in a weekday. The person cleaning the table is doing good job, other than that, no one comes over unless we ask for it. Honestly in Danbury they keep coming over to either change the gril (so it doesn't get all the char)l or adding soup because they dry up quickly in small pot and no missing items. And also someone cares your experience.... It was also a birthday celebration night. Unfortunately the overall experience is not pleasant, food quality is below the standard. Hope they can improve as i do appreciate they are in the area.

I know...five stars for a family restaurant? Yep…read more Yes, there are prettier places. Yes, parking is challenging. Yes, tableware is all about function over looks. But you'd have to pay twice as much at every other local place that might tick the above boxes. At Giselle's, a memorable meal is quite affordable. The early bird special was outstanding. There were enough choices for our party of three -all under $18. Diners can also choose from the main menu. We intend to do this next time. My husband loved his scampi. I can't say enough for the waitstaff. They were friendly yet efficient. Some were moving so fast they appeared to be on roller skates! Go. You won't be disappointed. As I mentioned , if you are all in on the niceties...go somewhere else. But be prepared to pay double the typical Gisella bill.

The BEAST stepped into Gisella's Ristorante... and this one? It's got the reputation but doesn't…read morefully live up to the hype. Good, but not as great as the ratings suggest. Let's start with what they do right. The place has that classic Italian restaurant feel cozy, welcoming, and clearly built for family-style dining. You can tell right away why people like it. Service tends to be friendly, portions are solid, and it checks that "comfort food" box. But The BEAST isn't here for vibes alone... helpful definitely, but we're here for the food. And this is where things level out. The dishes especially staples like chicken parm come out looking the part, but flavor-wise? It's a little one-dimensional. The sauce leans heavy and slightly flat, lacking that bright, fresh tomato punch you want in a strong Italian kitchen. It fills you up, sure but it doesn't leave a lasting impression. There's also a bit of that "quantity over precision" feel. Big portions are great, but when you're sitting at a 4.7-star reputation, expectations jump and this doesn't quite match that level of execution.

From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making us feel right at home. We started with the meatballs, French onion soup, and coconut shrimp, and every appetizer was flavorful and well-prepared. For our entrée, we ordered the filet mignon. The restaurant was also very accommodating to our kids. They prepared a simple penne pasta with butter, which was a big hit and much appreciated. It's always nice to find a place that is willing to accommodate younger diners without hesitation. We also sampled three different cocktails, and while they were all enjoyable, the Manhattan was the standout of the evening--smooth, balanced, and expertly crafted. A special thank you to Sophia and the crew for their outstanding service. Their friendliness and attention to detail made the experience even more enjoyable. Great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere made for a fantastic dining experience.
