It honestly takes a really good pizza from a 8/10 to a 5/10. The mozzarella has that block quality with a little bounce and squeak to the cheese rather than a creamy pull. That's my only complaint. The sauce is nice as well as the toppings and the dough. Crust is thin with a little sag, it's not new haven pizza, no char and not a lot of crunch or blistering. Most items are well portioned and enough to share between at least 2 people if sampling. Caesar salad is enough to share between 2 people if you want to sample the menu. Great lettuce quality and better than most restaurants. It's not the bagged precut garbage with all stalks. They use little gem variety. Fries are shoestring and oh so delicious to snack on. Not an insult, but if you like McDonald's fries, these are even better. IYKYK Meatballs were ok, nothing super special. Nice texture, but not dry. Doesn't really have a fresh flavor. The meat flavor reminded me of a mass produced meatloaf from a diner. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, but for someone with a very refined palate, I think it needs a little "life" mixed in. The sauce helps that a bit. Cocktails were nicely done. You could taste all the flavors listed in the cocktail. Not overly strong and not weak. Definitely would come back to sample more food. For you native CT and Lakeville natives, be prepared to pay NY prices...

I went on a warm day with friends and sat at the bar. It was a little too crowded. The seats are close together. I loved how the fire house doors were open and you can see outside. As a gardener I did notice that the hydrangeas bushes were not taken care of. I do think things like that matter in a business. I was a little disappointed with the service. I did have to ask for a menu and I also had to get the bartenders attention to place an order. I got fries and pizza and they were both really good. I loved how small they cut the slices and how there was rosemary on top of the fries.My mocktail was also delicious!

Half of their menu is Sushi but when we sat down we were told the sushi chef is on vacation. They also told us they were out of sole (even though we were there at 6:15). Those were the two things we wanted. I ordered the baby lamb chops and said I wanted them "cooked through, no red." When the order came, not only was there a tiny portion (FOR $52), it came rare. I pointed this out to the waitress and she said "yes, I saw that when I brought it out." Why she didn't do something in the kitchen was beyond me. She took it back and I sat there while the rest of my group ate. I spent $160 on dinner for two and was not happy. The previous time I was there I ordered the sole almondine and was all dried out. It's a lovely venue but needs improvement and better management.

It was slightly on the crisp side (unintentional I'm sure) but had great flavor. It was served with some homemade basil infused ricotta and fresh cherry tomatoes. A wonderful treat for the tastebuds but the ratio of cheese to focaccia was off and we ended up eating the last third of the bread dry. Even dry it was great. My wife had the chicken pasta dish and I had the Kinderhook smash burger. This was one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. Fresh beef, fresh toasted sesame bun, fresh arugula and a most wonderful burger sauce that made every bite a joy. My wife raved about the pasta and the bite (or two) she shared with me was fantastic. She tried a bite of my burger and she too felt it was one of the best she's had also.

Small towns aren't always known for places that make you feel like you've had a night out. Canaan…read moreis charming, sure... but Railroad Street isn't exactly Times Square. And then there's Industry Kitchen. Somehow this place manages to feel completely at home in town while also giving you the vibe that you've stumbled into a great little spot in a much bigger food scene. It's warm, lively, and the kind of place where you walk in thinking "quick bite" and leave two hours later wondering why you don't come more often. The food has gotten better and better over the years, which is saying something because it started strong. The menu now hits that sweet spot where there's truly something for everyone -- great apps, excellent burgers and comfort food, and rotating entrees and specials that actually feel thoughtful instead of like menu filler. On our last visit we rolled in later than the normal dinner rush after a school event. No problem. We shared some of their reimagined flatbreads, a salad, and a few apps and it was exactly what we needed. The wings are fantastic. The bang bang shrimp might require a moment of silence. And the flatbreads are the kind of thing you order "for the table" and then quietly hope no one else notices the last slice. If you've been thinking about trying Industry Kitchen but haven't yet, go. It delivers way more than you'd expect from a quiet little corner of Railroad Street. And if you already go? Go more often. Canaan is lucky to have this place. And your dinner plans should probably involve it. I'm looking forward to trying more of their new pasta creations. P.S. Pro tip: ask them to double cut your flatbread. It turns it into the perfect shareable situation and saves everyone from the awkward "who's getting the giant slice?" P.S.S. Check out their new family tray meals. I hosted an event recently and ordered 2. Really great.

AND We had to go the booth into the back of the restaurant to get our server twice! To ask where our drinks were after we order them and 25 minutes goes by for two sodas and we never saw him come back. It was empty. We were the only people in the dining room. There were three men who were sitting at the bar and had a bartender to service them. Before we left two other couples came in and had the exact same experience as us. One of the other couples had to ask where their food was twice and the couple sitting behind us never got drinks so this is obviously an issue they faced on a regular basis. I don't recommend coming here, not for the food, not for the service, not for anything.

You can really feel the warmth of this family-owned gem--from the welcoming atmosphere to the care put into every dish. Looks like we'll have to come back... highly recommend!

This year's party of five dined on the patio. We sampled their clam chowder and onion soup ... both brought smiles and yummy noises. One party goer had the mussels and loved that hugh bowl of fresh tasting and well spiced sea food. I went full carnivore and had the steak ... pricy at $44 but perfectly cooked, tender and served with a fresh cut mound of fries. Dessert for me was the noise and it rocked. Others had cream brûlée and it too earned high marks. Why not 5 stars? There were a couple of minor service faux pas so I like to keep it real. But 4 stars are all well earned. And, I will be back at our next car club event. Recommended.
