    We've been to this place many times. Friendly place. Great food. Generous portions. Affordably priced.

    Nachos with beef topping.
    Rita J.

    Always enjoy our meals drinks and service here. Stopped in for lunch one day for drinks and something to eat. In the shareable section they had nachos so we ordered them to share. The plate was huge and stacked high. It was enough for at least five people we ended up taking more than half home. We stopped in again on Thursday late afternoon and found out that Thursdays are taco night. I ordered the taco salad which was excellent. The taco shell was packed full with a lot of beef lettuce and tomato. I ordered mine without onions and jalapeño. Checking their menu out on yelp it didn't show the taco Thursday menu out so I added it to my review for other yelpers to check out as well as a few pictures of my taco salad. It was So Good!

    Chicken Piccata with GF penne

    I brought my 89 year old MIL to meet her 89 year old cousin for their birthday lunch. Roberto's is halfway between their houses. I had a gluten allergy and saw that the menu had many gluten-free options. My MIL uses a walker and has trouble with stairs. She was disappointed to see there was no ramp to get into the restaurant. There was a grab bar but only on one side and was still difficult for her to get into the restaurant. But she made it. The interior is plain. Not much decorations and can get pretty loud with a large lunch crowd. The 80-year-old ordered margaritas. The frozen margarita maker was out for service so they had margaritas delivered in pint glasses. I ordered the chicken piccata with gluten-free penne. There was a lot of food. It was OK. My MIL had the shrimp scampi. She said it was very good, but was disappointed to see the shrimp still had the tails attached. It was difficult for her to eat. Her cousin had a cheddar burger. It was very big, cooked as requested , and she loved every bite. We had chocolate pie for dessert and I had a GF strawberry shortcake. It was a treat to have a gluten-free dessert! Overall, it was good to have a spot between the two houses that also have gluten-free options. We probably won't return because of the stairs.

    TL:DR - My experience was not good but maybe yours will be better. I was driving by and got enticed by the smell of their BBQ. I pulled in and first impressions were two fold: the parking lots needs lines redrawn because people just parked wherever and however, and the entrance is not immediately obvious. The entryway and waiting area are very log cabin, and you can tell from the well apportioned waiting area that this place can get crowded. If you're tall, look out, I had to duck more than once and definitely to get into the dining area. The dining area, unfortunately, really left the aesthetic behind and was simply white walls and ceiling. It felt like a cafeteria more than anything. All that blank space cries out for murals, log paneling, something. The dichotomy was striking, to say the least. My service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. Because I went on a Saturday, despite being lured in by the smell of the BBQ, I opted for the prime rib, medium rare, mashed potatoes and vegetable, with six wings Carolina sauce to start. Of note, there was no table bread of any sort, though the salad for the meal came out quickly. In fact, the meal pacing was on point. The wings were fine, nothing to write home about and not worth the price on the menu. The biggest failing was the entree. The carrots - flavorless, most likely canned sliced carrots that had sat in flavor leeching water for too long. The potatoes - flavorless as well. Butter, salt, and pepper later they were fine. Prime rib - cooked to medium well, it was tough like a pot roast. There was no rind to speak of, which left the au jus lacking robustness. Also, a little sweet, which I don't understand that trend. Did I finish it all? No, because I went to use the restroom mid-meal, making sure to ask the server where it was so she knew that's where I'd gone, and came back to a cleared table reset for the next patrons. Why do I say your mileage may vary? The BBQ I didn't try smelled excellent and there were many other options on the menu as well, so they may have areas of expertise I am not aware of.

    Sticky chicken pizza

    The bacon pizza was excellent. The potato skins not do much. They were over cooked but luckily this doesn't happen often because they make the best skins around. I did take out and got the bacon pizza and the skins.

    This is a very nice restaurant. They have a good size private parking lot. Enter by the bar on the left, or restaurant on the right. There is a large waiting area and coat rack at the restaurant entrance. Restrooms are between the bar and dining room. Bar side has a short bar to sit at just inside the door. They offer several beers on tap. A number of hightop tables are past the bar and around the corner, plus there is one long upholstered bench seat. The restaurant side is booth seating along the walls, tables in the center and a huge fireplace on the back wall with high ceilings. The menu is pretty big and offers apps, sandwiches and burgers, entrees, seafood, Italian, mexican, american. It's a mash-up. Their 'pasta' page uses the word 'al dente' in place of 'pasta' but the pasta my husband got was so over cooked it was literally falling apart. That should never have been served to a customer. If you are calling your pasta section 'al dente', you need to follow through on that expectation. The sausages smelled great and there were enough for another meal. The serving size is huge (see photo). My NY strip steak was excellent. It came with a side salad; romaine lettuce, red onion, cherry tomato, croutons with choice of dressing. Also included with the meal are two sides. Choices include baked, mashed or french fried potatoes, veg and coleslaw. The vegetable offered during our visit was fresh, boiled, sliced zucchini and it was cooked nicely; slightly firm. Very pleased with that. Fries are crunchy but the oil was probably ready to be changed. We would probably return except for the loud country music that played throughout our visit. If it were on a mix that included a few other styles, that's cool. The droning on and on of endless country music does not lend itself to a pleasant dining experience for us. Our waitress was excellent. My food was prepared well. Prices seem fair. Dining room, booth, flatwear, restrooms: all clean. If country music would improve your dining experience, I recommend this spot.

    Eggplant Parmesan with spaghetti.  YUM!!
    Terri B.

    We had an event in Lebanon, CT. and before heading back to the hotel, we stopped into Roberto's for dinner. It was packed on a Saturday night and ended up having dinner at the bar which worked out just fine. Chrissy waited on us and she was fun, bubbly and took very good care of us. Mr. B. ordered the half rack of ribs as they claim best ribs in Ct. He said they were good, not great and were not very tender, but there was no meat left on the bones so they must have been just fine. I chose the Eggplant Parmesan. Great choice, but good heavens, it was enough to feed a family of four from one plate. I barely made a dent, but each and every bite was scrumptious. The spaghetti was perfectly cooked. The eggplant sliced thin, breaded well and the sauce over the top was thick and flavorful, with lots of cheese melted on top. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Lebanon is such a little town, but if you find yourself in the area, I think you definitely find a delicious meal at the Log Cabin.

    nachos. Picture does not do justice. It was big
    Candy S.

    Great atmosphere got there around 1 no waiting. The staff was excellent, our server came by about 5 times asking if we needed anything , she was truly awesome. We ordered the nachos she said it was big and it was like for 6 people and loaded. Price was very reasonable. Definitely would make a trip to come back again.

    The Shipwright's Daughter - crispy fried oysters

    I am absolutely obsessed with everything here. I made reservations for 5:45 pm on a Monday night…read more We actually came a little before 5:15 pm, because I was absolutely starving, and they were so kind/accommodating. They seated us right away! I love the vibes of the place, it's beautiful and inviting, but not pretentious. Our waitress was the best. She knew it was our anniversary and gave us a little bubbly to toast to. We also made it for happy hour (5 pm - 6 pm on weekdays, and 5 pm - 6 pm on weekends only at the bar)! All the small plates on the left side of the menu were half off! We immediately ordered drinks (the $10 happy hour cocktail - a blackberry bourbon smash for my husband, and a mocktail for me). We then ordered the shishito peppers, 2 of the pickled beet deviled eggs, and the roasted oysters with chili oil. They came out super fast, and it was delicious. The shishitos had that great char flavor along with a great dipping sauce. You can never go wrong with deviled eggs. Then we decided to order the fried oysters and the bread with corn butter. The fried oysters were the star of the small plates. Cooked so well. Freshly fried, you bite into it and it was juicy and delicious on the inside. Just so good. The bread and butter? Ugh, my dream butter and bread. Just so delicious. The butter was slightly sweet from the corn and had flakes of sea salt on tip, making it the perfect sweet and salty combo. We also got the salad (local produce!), and our waitress knew we were sharing ao she had the kitchen put it on 2 plates. Such a great touch. The salad was fantastic. After eating lobster rolls for a day, this was a much needed salad. It was refreshing, bright, and light! For our main entrees, we got the seared local squid and the strip steak. It was INCREDIBLE. Everything had so much flavor. The squid was cooked well, wasnt chewy. Just delicious. The crispy rice was the BEST THING I HAVE EVER EATEN. I wish we could order bowls of it. My husband finished it, couldn't get enough of it. The steak was fantastic as well. The potato with the bearnise sauce was so dreamy. The little onions on the steak, all the little touches were so well done. We knew we had to get dessert. We got a scoop of the black raspberry ice cream, a scoop of corn and blueberry swirl ice cream, and the lavender honey panna cotta. Guys. You 100% must get dessert. The corn blueberry ice cream was unreal. I dont know how you get all that flavor into ice cream. They dont skimp on the honey on the panna cotta. And it went so well with the more mild panna cotta. The black raspberry was a little icy because they froze whole blackberries in it, but at least you know they were trying to make sure you got blackberries in there. With happy hour, the bill wasn't too bad. This was hands down our favorite meal of our week long road trip. I can't wait to come back. I would 100% make a detour to eat here. Parking is pretty difficult around here. I would probably just Uber if I was coming here on a weekend. I need to come here for breakfast at some point.

The restaurant, helmed by James Beard-winning chef David Standridge, topped several Best of CT lists and, while staying in Mystic, we grabbed a dinner reservation. (Reservations are a must unless you come here early enough to luck out at the bar. When we got there at around 5, the couple in front of us was told that the next available slot was at 9!). My favorite of what we ordered: the bucatini. All of their pastas come in either an appetizer or an entree portion. Now that I'm reading their online menu description online, I think they switched it up based on seasonal availability of ingredients. Ours was a mushroom cream based-sauced and it was heavenly - thick and luscious without being too one-note or overwhelming. The pasta itself was also cooked just slightly al dente, which is my preference. I went with the skirt steak. This was a highly out of character moment for me, as I almost always opt for the seafood option over the steak, particularly at a restaurant known for its seafood, but hear me out. My favorite part of a steakhouse is always the sides. The sides that came with the skirt steak included shishito peppers, a beautifully "feuille" style of potatoes (think the crepe layer cakes, only in deep fried potato form), and a seacoast mushroom (with the most beautiful precise knife cuts). Truly a feast for all of the senses. Also tried my friend's squid but I preferred the skirt steak. The crispy rice was good but extremely greasy. We were too full for dessert in the moment and then ended up getting ice cream from the place over the drawbridge.

The atmosphere and service were terrific. Expansive place in an old bank. Quirky, charming, and fun all at the same time. Loved the vibe - added to the excitement of having lunch. Server was terrific. The food: IF we ever go back I/we will get apps for the table only. Wide variety of options - all fairly good. They do no harm. Think airport or mid-level hotel restaurant. Appetizer portions (especially the nachos) gigantic. Clearly it's for the wow factor to distract diners from the 100% food service supplier, heat and eat options. Even all sauces and dressings come in the 2oz /4oz soufflé cup with the LID STILL ON. like we are literally in the airport. Wings to start along with nachos with shredded beef. The only wing sauce (we tried 4) that tasted like anything was their "Oy-Vey" which is hotter than their bottled, ready to serve buffalo. The buffalo, bbq, and dry rub jerk were tasteless, as was the blue cheese. The wings were medium size. Not the jumbo party wings that come in the 40lbs box. Nachos were ok. Good portion of cheese and meat. But the thimble of sour cream and tasteless pour from the bottle salsa were embarrassing But... if we were drinking and enjoying friends ... it would have been fine to soak up the microbrews, I suppose. Sandwiches were disastrous. One had the friend catfish sandwich, one the spicy shrimp wrap, and I had the farmers wrap/add blackened chicken. Portion sparse. Fries and/or onion rings mid-grade coated/cover the plate type. And I added coleslaw (maybe my favorite food on the planet) at our server's suggestion...the dry, tasteless cabbage set coleslaw back 50 years. KFC slaw is miles better (and I hate that). What ruined it was all sandwiches had the same "funk" to them. Each member of our table tried to identify in their own order, and sharing some of each others, what it was. The common denominator was the funky/carbon/dirty grease taste and smell that came from their grill (all wraps and sandwich bread/roll/wrap) was heated on it. It clearly was filthy. Taste permeated everything. They don't create/chef here. It's food service supplier "speed scratch" which is assembled in the kitchen. I know staffing is hard. I know no one wants to work (they do, however, want to get paid), but really really really disappointed based on reviews and menu. Best part, I asked for a small cup of oy-vey sauce as my tasteless wrap was so dry. Server said that she'd be happy to. But it would be $4 from the kitchen. Ummm... hard pass. Again, maybe phenomenal if you're a college student at East Conn. but if you're not drinking the food simply does not stand up on its own. Worst $178 with tip (with no alcohol) I have ever spent.
