We were looking for something in between Waterbury and the shoreline. This place has come up a few times so we gave a try. First off, the driveway has 1 entry/exit and cannot fit 2 cars passing. But there is off street parking. We had a party of 6 and, despite a whole diningroom being empty, there was only 1 table that could accommodate us. It was a tight fit, but doable. Fresh popcorn on the table to start is a nice touch. We got waters, ordered drinks, menu looks great; lots of options. My husband got a spiked arnold palmer....lemonade, iced tea, vodka. He said it wasn't good, mostly vodka. We ordered nachos and fried brussel sprouts. Everyone agreed that the brussel spouts were delicious! The nachos would have been great if the chips weren't covered in salt. The chili was perfectly spicy. The guac was delicious. Lots of cheese, but the chips had so much salt, you could see it. By this time we needed another round of drinks, or at least some water refills. Our server was no where to be found. Every water on the table was empty, including the drinks we ordered. By now our dinners were coming out a few at a time. All was looking good. But, 1 person in our party needed a gluten free meal and she discussed this with our server. She ordered tacos and reminded the server to make sure everything was gluten free. Her tacos came with fries. The fries appeared to have a coating or a breading. This usually means they have been floured. Being skeptical and cautious, this was mentioned to the server who argued that she knew they were gluten free. Not taking the chance, we asked for the sweet potato fries instead. The server complied. As meals go, nothing was outstanding. The mac and cheese was very cheesy and tasty. The Cordon bleu was good and the plate was finished. As for the sandwhiches, mostly they were bland. The cuban was dry. The steak and cheese just ok. The California chicken panini, my dinner, was fresh and hot, but I felt like I needed to dip it in something. It needed more flavor. It took a while, but eventually we got another round of drinks. Our server was just not around when we needed something. We did finally order dessert...creme brule and chocolate peanutbutter mousse. Both were pretty delicious. Then we sat with empty glasses, again, and waited about 30 minutes for the server to walk by so we could ask her for the check. All in all it wasn't a bad experience, but it wasn't a fantastic one either. The food wasn't bad, some was actually really good. It just wasnt consistent. The service wasn't great. Maybe it was an off night? They didn't seem short handed, but you never know whats going on behind the scenes. read more
