While at the farmers market in Chester, we finally got to try out Simon's Marketplace -- and we're…read moreso glad we did! It's a very cute spot with a charming store area filled with unique gifts, perfect for picking something up while you're there. More importantly, their food offerings really impressed us. They serve breakfast until 11:30 AM, along with a full lunch menu, coffee, and freshly baked goodies. Their baguettes are made in-house, and to my delight, they also offer gluten-free bread! The staff were very sweet and helpful! I had the gluten-free breakfast sandwich and it was perfectly made. It was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. My dad went with the Southwestern sandwich and enjoyed it! It's definitely a welcoming stop with great food.

Simon's Marketplace in Chester, CT is located right in the town's historic district, and the…read moresetting is probably its strongest feature. The deli and coffee house has a very antique, old-school vibe that fits nicely with the charm of the area. They offer coffee, sweet treats, and a variety of sandwiches, making it a convenient stop while exploring the town. We ordered the South West and Monte Cristo sandwiches. Both were nicely portioned--bulky sandwiches filled with roasted chicken, fresh tomatoes, and avocado. The food itself was decent and satisfying enough for lunch, but nothing particularly memorable. While we enjoyed the meal, the overall value felt a bit off, especially considering the price point of $38, which seemed high for what we received. That said, Simon's Marketplace works well as a quick and easy lunch spot, especially if you're already in the area and looking for something casual. It's fine, just not somewhere I'd go out of my way for. Overall rating: 3 out of 5.

Here's a tip, get your own, don't do splitzies like we did. I also had a dirt bomb to start with my Americano. The two definitely complimented one another so when in doubt, just go for it. The owner threw it in on the house because we kept mulling it over. This place is cute & quaint & located right at the marina. The customer service was top tier and the in house baked goods are to die for! They are cash only but there is an option to pay through venmo. This is definitely a locals spot. Great gem so stop in!

We had the Cubano (perfection), the veggie burger (fresh and flavorful), and the pulled pork mac and cheese (enough for my teenage son to eat with leftovers). The French fries were hot, crispy, and perfectly salted. Service was very fast. We decided to get some cookies for dessert later. The selection was eclectic, and they were all so tempting that we got several of them. Each cookie was wonderful, and they were still fresh when we finished them the next day. The restaurant was spotless and the staff was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The Anchor also had games available for customers to play while in the restaurant, and doggie treats for the pups. Overall, a thoughtful and comfortable place. We will be back!

Noah's 63 is a great spot for a relaxed and satisfying brunch in Essex. The restaurant has a really…read morenice nautical atmosphere that fits the shoreline setting perfectly. The décor is tasteful and modern without feeling overdone, and it gives the whole place a comfortable, coastal vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer over your coffee. Service was excellent during our visit. The staff was courteous, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive, which always makes a meal more enjoyable. The brunch menu has a lot of tempting options, and everything we ordered delivered. I had the soufflé with sourdough toast and a side of bacon, and it was delicious. The soufflé was light and flavorful, and the sourdough was a great accompaniment. We also tried the Nutella-stuffed French toast and the breakfast potatoes. The French toast was a great indulgent brunch dish, and the potatoes were perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Overall, it was a really enjoyable brunch experience. If you're in the Essex area and looking for a comfortable spot with a great brunch menu, Noah's 63 is definitely worth checking out. Parking was a little tricky, as the lot next the pizza place next door was full despite there only being one other diner in the restaurant. But if you go down the driveway next to the museum you can park next to a boat in the boatyard and the entrance is down there.

Super disappointed, waste of money and time.
