    The food is pretty good with quick & super friendly service. It's a small older place, more like a diner-ish type vibe if you're into that!

    Eggs Florentine!
    John R.

    Old fashioned diner/breakfast joint. Everything you need and nothing you don't. I was in town to meet a client and needed to fuel up before the action. Perfect Eggs Florentine, potatoes, toast and hot coffee. While the hollandaise, spinach and poached eggs were excellent, the potatoes were awesome! Lightly spiced, perfectly cooked and exactly portioned. They complemented the meal perfectly. When I'm back in town I'll be back.

    Stopped into Rick's Nutmeg Grill this morning w/ the wife. I was a 1st Timer, my wife had eaten there many times before, but it had been several years since her last visit. Place was about 3/4 full just before 9am on this Sunday morning. She ordered the Eggs Benedict w/ home fries, I went with a Tall stack of apple-cinnamon pancakes w/ a side of sausage. Meals took a while to come out, a bit longer than I would've thought it should take. But we were both pleased when the food finally did arrive, my pancakes were fluffy & tasty. I noticed they left the skin on the apples, but it was soft, and the cinnamon was the right amount. My wife's Eggs Benedict were delicious, perfectly cooked eggs, and the hollandaise sauce was spot on. Her home fries were also good, as well as my sausage patties. Coffee was decent too. Service was excellent, the staff at Rick's is very friendly & attentive. Total bill was just over $22. Not sure why I see all the complaints concerning price from the other Yelp reviews, that's a pretty standard amount for breakfast. Overall, a solid breakfast today at Rick's Nutmeg Grill in Torrington. We would definitely drop back in again if in the area.

    Omelet with Ham, Mushrooms & Swiss, multigrain toast, hash browns and coffee

    I was in town and had some extra time, so I stopped in for breakfast. It had been several years since the last time that I ate here and recall it being good back then. Well.... I was not disappointed with this visit either. The restaurant is clean with a very pleasant atmosphere and the wait staff is perfectly friendly and attentive. I ordered and omelet with ham, mushrooms and swiss cheese. It came with hash browns and I opted for the multigrain toast. When the dish came it as fresh and hot. Some places tend to make the eggs too dry. That is NOT the case here. They were moist and excellent and had really nice flavor. The bread was perfectly toasted and the hash browns were good as well. I also had some good decaf coffee. The meal was generous size and really satisfying. I would give them 4.5 stars if I could.

    This was our very first time here, every time we walk past it looked small but we ended up going in this time and I am so glad we did. I always went to Scarpellies for the BLT but since they closed I couldn't find the right BLT until I came in here. Toasted right and great portion mouth sized. Made me full that is for sure and My boyfriend got the Texas Cheeseburger with a fried egg and it was pretty big and he is picky with his food they got his approval and that's rare. We are extremely happy with this place and will be returning to this little treasure

    Expensive for what is given pictures are misleading for sure. Not much cheese in the omelette, bacon is cold and hard. 20 bucks and this is not what I expected

    Cinnamon walnut French toast. (I couldn't keep from cutting into it before taking a picture.)

    On a cold winter morning, we pulled into the tiny downtown storefront that is the Nutmeg Grille, and the breakfasts we ordered warmed us right up. I got a full stack of cinnamon walnut french toast with a side of bacon. Boyfriend got an eggs benedict, and his brother got an omelet. Everything I had was delicious and satisfying. I was able to try some of my boyfriend's eggs benedict and homefries, and both were done very well. My french toast was super sweet, cinnamon-y, and wonderful. It might have been a little too sweet to eat on its own without a side of bacon or anything, but the amount of cinnamon and chopped walnuts crusting its outer layer was pretty great. The interior of the Nutmeg Grille feels like a small diner. You have your mirrored walls, standard booths, and a bar area with retro stools and a long countertop. Service was friendly. Our waitress took our orders without writing them down and had a very welcoming smile. In the end, she only brought me a short stack instead of a full stack of my french toast, but she happily brought me a third. Overall, a nice little place for breakfast.

    A quiet, quaint, quality breakfast joint just outside of downtown Torrington.

    The nutmeg has been sold since I last ate here. I'm glad to say that the quality of service and food has not changed. I most recently are here for my Mother's birthday brunch. It happened to be a Sunday morning, yet server who waited on us was both quick and attentive. The food is standard breakfast fare. The menu has shrunk slightly since last year, but they still have all of the staples (including some delicious bacon). The prices are very fair.

    Great little diner near the theater. Friendly and fast service with decent that was fast and good food! Great, relaxing atmosphere.

    Way over priced for a restaurant  that doesn't use fresh ingredient and has very small portions.

    Great service food was hot, delicious and a lot of it. Big portions. Staff was fun and friendly…read more Will be back.

    Growing up in NJ, diners, and their place in the fabric of my family and social lives was…read moresignificant. It's been a while, but I was craving a little bit of that nostalgia and made the trip to Christy's. I was concerned when I arrived at 615pm for dinner and I was the only non-staff member cat in the lot. Yes, it was a Tuesday. But...the only? Despite circling the building thinking I should leave - I went in. I wanted a roast beef club on white with an extra side of coleslaw (I LOVE coleslaw). On a whim, I also tried a cup of chili. 1 star for the look and decor. It's truly a diner. 1 star for the service. Everyone was attentive (I was the only customer) and wonderful. Perhaps I ordered wrong, but the roast beef was one day away from inedible. It had a slight funk that only comes when it's been cut and doesn't turn with orders within 4-5 days. I ate it. But had to put some of my coleslaw on it to trick myself. Oh, the coleslaw was not real. Not house made. It's the base version offered by PGE (food distributer buying group). Tasteless. Not creamy. Nothing tasted authentic or seemed to have inspiration. All the food was presented well. But I don't think this place does enough business for things to be fresh for lunch or dinner. I would go back for breakfast foods - as they have to be cooked to order.

    Christy's Restaurant - Zoom in on the roast beef. My club was built well. I just ordered wrong. They don't turn roast beef here.
