The gentleman that greeted us was very friendly and welcoming. Due to COVID we weren't permitted inside which I find to be very challenging as I typically like to see what I'm purchasing. They had a whiteboard that listed all the fish and additional items for sale but no pricing which I found to be a bit awkward and would unfortunately make us not return until we would be able to go inside. I felt very caught off guard when I was told the total price and there was no itemized receipt provided. Overall quality of the fish was very fresh & delicious but shopping experience would make me think twice before returning.

They have lots of entertainment- which looked fun if we lived closer. A queen boil with crawfish added (we would skip these in the future), loaded tots, and a bacon cheeseburger basket cost $125- with sodas. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was nostalgic. The band setting up as we left looked fun. It was like a little hidden gem in a strip mall. Not a place for top dining experience- but a fun place to eat and hang out.

One thing I'll say sure for Cajun Boil is they have the best karaoke. What fun!…read more The food at Cajun Boil used to be awful (people used to tell me that all the time, and I experienced it as well, having had several "blecch" meals there over the years before I just quit eating there) but it has improved somewhat. The customer service is inconsistent, depending on who is working. Bailey, Vanna, and Daniella are great! Others are rude and will ignore/disrespect customers. Take it with a grain. ("'Young and dumb' is a hard state to overcome.") Go for the karaoke on Thursday nights with Kellioke or on Sunday afternoons with Chuck Dreger and Patty. You'll definitely enjoy the karaoke, wherher you like to sing or just be audience! Just don't expect a stellar experience all around. The karaoke is definitely quality; the rest is hit or miss.‍‍

The dinner menu was atypical, featuring an eclectic fusion of dishes executed with lots of creative flair. Flavor, quality and freshness of ingredients were top notch. Our starter, Garlic Maple Whiskey Chicken Bites, came accompanied with grilled shishito peppers. Perfect for sharing and so lovely paired with a glass of prosecco. Next, we sampled Bouillabaisse and Miso Roasted Black Cod in dashi broth. Seafood for both mains were super fresh. The Bouillabaisse broth was remarkably flavorful, the hint of saffron ever present but not overwhelming. How nice to have the red pepper rouille and slices of bread (customary in France) served alongside for the authentic experience. Miso Roasted Black Cod was tasty, succulent and fork tender. Beautifully arranged with mushrooms and Brussels sprouts surrounding the fish, plus a delectable piece of polenta cake tucked underneath. Dashi broth was poured onto dish tableside, creating a warm umami rich dish that was not only delicious but also extremely satisfying. On to desserts....The Chocolate Tarte with sea salt, nuts and berry coulis, a picture of understated elegance, was incredibly sublime. The Warm Apple Tartlet à la Mode with vanilla ice cream was good too. Would have preferred a tad less cinnamon though. All things considered, this was an exemplary meal. Wait staff was friendly and helpful. Hope to return again soon.

This is not a super upscale place, but you will still find it comfortable, easy to navigate the food selections, and the service is always on point and quick. They have a large spread of food items, from your usual General Tso's and lo mein, to braised pork, to chicken wings and French fries for the kiddos. There is a large spread of meat and veggie options for everyone, and they serve slightly different items during their dinner hours. Price right now after tax for lunch hours (until 3pm) is $13.90, which for an all you can eat place is absolutely insane. I encourage everyone to try a little piece of each option you want, because you can always go back for more at any time! There's a cold octopus dish that is my personal favorite and if I could ever learn the recipe I'd eat it non stop, but genuinely, this is a nice chill place with average to really good food quality, and there's so many things to pick from that no one will be left without options. I highly recommend this place, and even after moving cross country for years I always come back here and will continue to do so each time.

I held my breath walking in the door, hoping to see the same beautiful nostalgic decor from decades past. To my delight, it looked beautifully the same, but soneobw better! There was beautiful music playing at just the right volume... Frank Sinatra, The Ronettes, and other sweet tunes. Heidi, my server, was excellent. She seems like she has worked there for awhile, and she handled MANY customers/tables with ease and grace. The food was EXCELLENT! I had spaghetti and meatballs. The spaghetti was piping hot, and there was no excess water under the pasta as sometimes happens in other establishments. Also, the price for my abundant, delicious meal, plus a glass of wine, was very reasonable. What a treasure in downtown Torrington, CT... a restaurant that has been open for 100 years! I spoke with a gentleman who, like me, had moved away but then came back to the area... and, like me, was so glad the decor, etc. was still the same! I hope they don't change a thing!

Again, showing up on a Saturday night for our 7pm reservation we were promptly seated. While our server ended being very good, friendly, and knowledgeable about the CT restaurant scene, she clearly had too many tables to handle and had to make her own drinks that night due to a party in one of the back rooms. These factors lead to very slow service. Instead of ordering cocktails we ordered a bottle of wine which ended up not having. We accepted their replacement which ended up being fine. I started my meal with the pasta fagioli which was just ok. The pasta in the soup was overcooked and was mushy. I also like escarole in my pasta fagioli which was missing. For our main meal, we ordered the veal chop and beef ravioli. The ravioli was fine and the veal chop was ok. For desert we had the limoncello cake which was light and had nice lemon flavor to it. The restaurant fells like it could use a face lift and suffers from the Covid plastic separators between the booths. Overall it's ok, but probably not worth the trip for us.
