    Pork Belly
    Heather G.

    I miss being able to see the kitchen! The service was good, very attentive staff. This was our first time since it became barnwood and we're expecting a different specials menu from looking online but we shifted our sights into the new specials. The crab cakes were very good, great Cole slaw and sauce. The NE clam chowder could have had less potatoes but the clams were plentiful. I got the surf and turf filet mignon cooked perfectly medium rare with a scallop and shrimp which we happily and surprisingly cooked just right not over. The broccoli was cooked great which is rare at a restaurant usually under or over and these trees were spot on. The mashed potatoes were great as was the bordelaise! We will definitely be back.

    Food quality / price (value) rating 8. The atmosphere is contemporary tavern with a large bar and plenty of high tops. The lighting and decor is romantic,vand they have a decent enclosed "putdoor" seating area. We've been here 3 or 4 times now. The food is okay, but nothing special. Service is good. I often have trouble finding anything I actually want. For me, the menu is kind of boring. Today I had the Lemon Chicken. The two filets I got were fairly small, low quality, pretty tough and stringy. I was told that the meal came with broccoli as a vegetable, but it actually came with julienne squash, vwhich, for me, whena restaurant is serving squash it means they've stopped trying. They offer a decent array of draught beer choices, but most of them are low ABV.

    Roasted Beet Salad with chicken ( optional) extra 8 bucks for chicken

    We picked up 2 beet salads to go. There was about 4 small bites of beets and practically no goat cheese at all. Very disappointed

    Hungry Pot is really good and punches above its weight class in an Asian food desert. Make no…read moremistake, this is not an authentic kbbq experience (if you couldn't tell by the hot pot + seafood boil combo) but when you're craving grilled meats drenched in sauce this is the place to go. The key is to focus your ordering, go for the ribeye(inconsistent), finger ribs, hungry pot pork belly, and the marinated short rib. Do not waste stomach space on anything else especially the seafood offerings. Get some rice, lettuce leafs, some sauce and clear out the rest of your schedule for afterwards. The service is great. They bring the meats out with no delay, grill changes are frequent, and they do a good job bussing your table. The ambience is interesting especially if you're sitting next to one of the blue LED bars.

    In general it's not as good as the one in Danbury, less selection and all the meat don't have any…read moretaste, very disappointed. Food very very bland.... Same to the Crab legs overcooked and tasteless. Not many seafood selection for bbq/hotpot. Pineapple very sour, looks not ripe yet. We had hotpot and bbq. There's always missing items especially the meat, not giving much veggies for you very small bunch (few strings watercress) for 5 pp(seriously!) then I figured regardless you add 1 or 5 they give you same amount, long wait too. We just end up feelin " begging for food" because you have to keep ordering to get some food to show up, unlike the experience we had in Danbury. I'd rather drive over there to have a better attentive meal. It's so obvious they failed to performe like a buffet especially there's comparison i had in Danbury and harsdale, NY and New Jersey locations. Service is slow even in a weekday. The person cleaning the table is doing good job, other than that, no one comes over unless we ask for it. Honestly in Danbury they keep coming over to either change the gril (so it doesn't get all the char)l or adding soup because they dry up quickly in small pot and no missing items. And also someone cares your experience.... It was also a birthday celebration night. Unfortunately the overall experience is not pleasant, food quality is below the standard. Hope they can improve as i do appreciate they are in the area.

    During a long and rainy trip from NJ to MA, we stopped for dinner enroute at this little restaurant…read moregem. David, our friendly, knowledgeable host and waiter, made suggestions and we each ordered a salad and the Rigatoni Bolognese. The portions were perfect, not outrageously large, but enough to bring some home for another meal. The Spinach Salad with Pancetta, Candied Walnuts, Gorgonzola, Onion, Craisins, and Lemon-Shallot Dressing was crisp, fresh, and delectable. The bolognese was absolutely delicious and as good as any bolognese offered at an Italian eatery in Boston's North End. We highly recommend Bottega if you leave near Bethel, CT or if you're just passing through the area.

Nice selection of drinks. Waitress was very nice and patient. Gave us lots of time to decide. She brought some bread with oil which was good. We started with fried calamari. Delicious! Next time I would ask for lemon. I ordered the chicken franchise and my husband chose the chicken Milanese. We each enjoyed our entrees. We couldn't finish so brought home the leftovers. We arrived around 6pm, to a fairly empty dining room. When we left, the room had filled out more. Can easily see this place be hopping on the weekend. Waitress was really nice! Recommend Bottega to everyone. We will definitely be back.

    The BEAST stepped into Gisella's Ristorante... and this one? It's got the reputation but doesn't…read morefully live up to the hype. Good, but not as great as the ratings suggest. Let's start with what they do right. The place has that classic Italian restaurant feel cozy, welcoming, and clearly built for family-style dining. You can tell right away why people like it. Service tends to be friendly, portions are solid, and it checks that "comfort food" box. But The BEAST isn't here for vibes alone... helpful definitely, but we're here for the food. And this is where things level out. The dishes especially staples like chicken parm come out looking the part, but flavor-wise? It's a little one-dimensional. The sauce leans heavy and slightly flat, lacking that bright, fresh tomato punch you want in a strong Italian kitchen. It fills you up, sure but it doesn't leave a lasting impression. There's also a bit of that "quantity over precision" feel. Big portions are great, but when you're sitting at a 4.7-star reputation, expectations jump and this doesn't quite match that level of execution.

    Nice friendly people at the restaurant. I was trying to pick between the standard Chicken Parm and…read moreShrimp Parm. The server helped out. I got the Shrimp Parm and it was very good. Jalapen Poppers were good as well. We noticed that the hall inside is fairly large and could accomodate a decent sized party, which they were preparing today for. Good dining experience.
