    Lox benne

    Service was friendly and attentive. Lox benne was delicious. Coffee cups refilled and mimosas are an option. Pleasant atmosphere. This was a repeat visit.

    A gross sandwich that was supposed to be a cheese steak

    Garbage food. Got a cheese steak - figuring that is pretty easy and was on a charred roll - burt dry steakum meat on one side and cheese on the other. Everything else we got was pretty bad too

    Stopped into Monroe Social in Monroe, CT on 9/28/25. Solid spot overall -- I'd give it …read more The crab cakes were the standout. Two good-sized Maryland-style cakes, nicely seared and packed with crab (not filler). They came over a bed of fresh arugula and parmesan with a lemony kick and chili aioli that tied it together really well. The fish and chips were classic -- a big, flaky piece of wild cod fried golden. Fries were solid, tartar sauce hit the spot. Tried the crispy chicken sandwich too. Juicy chicken, cheddar, bacon, pickles, and the same chili aioli they used on the crab cakes. Really tasty combo, and the fries on the side were crisp. Overall: good food, friendly vibe, and worth a return visit.

    Food: For appetizers we ordered Brussel sprouts, topped with pumpkin seeds,bacon,and local honey…read more They were good. We also ordered the coconut shrimp w/ sweet chili sauce and that was definitely my favorite part of my meal. So delicious! Especially the sauce! Entree: I ordered the bacon cheese burger, it was good. Could have used a bit more seasoning on the meat and the bacon could have been cooked longer, but I did enjoy it. The French fries were delicious. Ambiance: cute little bar style. Very clean. Loved that there was a gentleman there singing. Not sure if this is just a weekend thing. We came on a Saturday. Lots of different types of people there. Very chill and cozy vibes. Loved the dimmed lighting. Service: sadly I forgot our servers name but wow was he great! Very patient, kind, and funny. Very attentive. Overall the experience was great. I would 100 percent come back and it's definitely worth checking out!

    Happy to have a diner in this area. It's a great spot! Cute little diner. Very clean and the staff…read morewere great. There's a lot of good options on the menu, I ordered the cheese steak wrap with french fries. The wrap was good. It had good flavor. The only thing I would suggest is more meat. There was way more lettuce than meat. Also, the cheese wasn't melted. The fries were really good. I loved the cole slaw, just wish a bigger portion was served. We had a great lunch. I will definitely be returning.

    I have been ordering from Riverside dinner about 5 times a week for 1,5 to 2 months now. I work…read morenights and I order it on my way home and it arrives a few minutes or so after I do. I'm a big breakfast person and actually I get eggs for my dog as well but he is not as fussy as I am. I had one order I was not thrilled with but besides that one time dozens of other orders have been perfect. Try and find someplace with delivery that can come close to that. Over medium eggs are exactly that. Not over cooked and not over easy. Many places don't get that part. The bacon is high quality and always crispy not under cooked and rubbery as I have received from other restaurants . They are generous with home fries and hash browns which ever you choose as well as condiments. I have never been to the store so I cant speak to that but their food is fantastic.

    We have a longstanding tradition of ordering Wellington's on New Year's Eve. Well- even traditions…read moremust come to end because we will never be ordering from there again. Rumor has it the restaurant has changed ownership in the last year- and if that's true- can the old owners buy it back? There has been such a decline in food quality and service! Let's begin with all the ways the food was subpar. First- my mother did the fixed price menu. They forgot one of her courses entirely. The shrimp cocktail was not in the building. Not that it's a huge loss- you get four measley shrimp. Then, the lamb chops were supposed to come with arugula- and the "salad" was a weird container of lettuce and cannellini beans- beans were never mentioned anywhere on this menu. We honestly didn't even know whose meal that was supposed to pair with because nothing like it was on the entire menu. Food allergy risk anybody? The lamb chops were also bone dry- no trace of the reduction or glacier sauce that the menu specified. The worst offense of all were the salad dressings. They were completely inedible! The balsamic vinaigrette was just pure vinegar- like get out your Easter eggs to dye because that's really all you can do with straight vinegar. The raspberry vinaigrette had the consistency of a jam and lo and behold, tasted like a container of raspberry jam. Another was pure olive oil and the honey mustard was oily and way too honey- I think they forgot the mustard part. On top of the food being a total train wreck- the worst part was the service. From start to finish the staff was rude and made it seem like they were doing us a favor by serving us- that's your literal job! Both when we placed the order, picked up the food AND when my mom drove back to get her missing course they acted like we were such an inconvenience and annoyance. For the prices they charge- all of this was unacceptable. Pack orders correctly. Make edible food. Treat your customers with the slightest bit of hospitality. It's not hard to figure out. It's worth noting that when we returned for our missing course another customer was there demanding money back for spoiled food they were given on new years as well. Patrons of Shelton- raise your standards! We don't have a ton of higher end dining options and thus the ones we do have need to exceed expectations. Unfortunately, or maybe it's actually fortunately for us, we won't be back.

    Definitely need a reservation on a Saturday. Place was packed. Our server was excellent. The…read morefood was very good. So why only a 3? The drinks I ordered a dry gin martini, what I got was a very vermouthy martini. My wife ordered a French martini that was so watered down it was barely drinkable. I am sorry but if you present your establishment as a high end restaurant, you need to have a good bartender who knows how to make basic cocktails.
