I am partial to white pizzas and all of those are super tasty. We had brought a bottle of wine in the past and drunk it there with pizza and I even brought a little candle. It made it very cheery. For a takeout pizza place, this is super consistent and quite reasonable.

The crust was soft on the inside and had great crunch outside. Charred perfectly! The gentleman who took our order and made the pizza brought them out to us along with plenty of plates and napkins. Outside Brickside Pizza there is plenty of places to sit. There is a great new coffee/tea/houseware shop that is worth checking out while you're waiting for your yummy pizza.

It was a nice night to sit outside . Our soppressata pie had a sweet honey on it so it was sweet and spicy. I wish the crust was a little crisper on bottom and there was enough grease to soak up two napkins. However the meat generously coveted over the entire pie and had a good flavor.

One my favorite spots of 2026! I wish yelp would allow…read morefractions of stars as i would rate this 4.75. Beautiful dining space tucked behind a street front bar entrance. Contemporary wood paneled room with a window wall overlooking the river below. Expertly made martinis followed by watermelon beet and feta salad; and wild mushrooms with Parmesan bread crumbs, mint, fried rosemary and whipped ricotta. Both were very tasty expressions of the season. Our table raved over the tagliarini with a local beef, pork and veg ragu and a shellfish version with a spicy puttanesca. The menu changes regularly to highlight the best of the season and local producers. Sometimes it's nice to eat delicious food with no blasting music, at reasonable prices (app/salads: $12-16, most entrees high 20's to $36) just hanging with happy well fed adults enjoying conversation. It would have been 5 stars but for the forgetting of complimentary bread service until we asked for it during the entrees. The bread was mediocre and chewy. Our primary waitperson sort of disappeared for a bit. An evening special of soba noodles with julienne vegetables was really just a bowl of noodles with little evidence of any veggies. Regardless, I've recommended to about 10 people already today and I'll keep doing so!!

A while ago, my wife and I had a positive experience at River Tavern. That experience has endured…read morein our minds through a number of less positive experiences. After a recent disappointing experience at RT with my son and father, I have to accept that the the initial positive experience may be the exception and not the rule. RT is located in Chester Center, which is a top CT town. Top tier location. The restaurant is cute, but cramped. After we were seated, a while passed before we saw our server. We were ready to order for 10 minutes and she still hadn't checked in with us. I told another employee that we wanted to see our server. She shook her head and we waited another 5 minutes. We finally were able to order. Then people who arrived after us, and ordered after us, received food first. Multiple tables. Through multiple service issues, there was no recognition from the employees about the issues. Our primary server asked how things were going when she first checked in with us. I told her the truth. And she didn't seem like she cared. She was apparently hoping that I would just say "good". The food was mixed. My son and I split a burger and an order of chilaquiles. The chilaquiles was good. The burger was medium rare rather than the medium we asked for. The burger was underseasoned. It may not have been seasoned at all. The bottom part of the bun was cut at a weird angle. As the juices flowed from the burger, it soaked the short side of the burger bun so that it was unusable. My Dad said his salad featuring peaches and nuts, barely had any peaches or nuts. I'm unlikely to eat at River Tavern again anytime soon. 2.5 Stars

It's a take out place though - you can eat at a 3 person small counter by the window. There are no public bathrooms though. I ordered a pulled pork/carnitas burrito which was fine but not excellent. I am picky about meat & I felt the pulled pork had a strong flavor which I am not a fan of. It was a generous portion & had the requisite rice, beans, pico, cheese in it. I always try a places 3 different times to be fair to the restaurant. I will be back to try some other menu items.
