From my understanding, it is a Christmas "pop-up" called Miracle. Since we just showed up without reservations, we sat at the bar, which was totally fine with us. The bartenders were very nice and offered up some recommendations. It turned out, my friend had gone to a Miracle pop-up at another bar weeks before, but hadn't realized it. The space is cozy and was very nicely decorated. I ordered an espresso martini off of their regular menu and my friend ordered the Candy Cane Lane. We didn't order food since we had dinner plans after. Our bill was $37.00, plus the $6 we left for a tip. For two cocktails that were good, but not fantastic, that is a little steep in my opinion. If we each had a second cocktail, it would have been close to $100. It's a bar in Newtown, not the casino. Would I go back? I would, just not during the holidays, and maybe a special occasion.

First time at The Reserve was for a casual weekday work lunch…read more Easy choice to sit at a comfy booth, service was quick, friendly and not intrusive even though we took our time deciding, eating, and talking.

Starting out with the aesthetic, not a fan and not a huge fan of the layout. The black painted walls and low ceilings make it feel a bit claustrophobic. There weren't really any decor up yet when I went so it just felt dark and dreary. You walk into the dining room with a bar on the right with bar seating (very tight fitting) and then a bar all the way on the left? It was also super hot in the building the night we went so our party of 3 just felt squeezed in and uncomfortable. But moving on the to the food. We really enjoyed it for the most part, the burger being the best. My steak was pretty fatty and tasted okay. I liked the salad part. We ordered the burrata for app and was confused that it doesn't come with bread or crackers? So we asked for some on the side and we had to giggle at how tiny the little pieces were and the serving size. We needed to ask for a second serving of bread. All in all I would try it again but I'll probably wait for them to establish more of a routine and direction. I really enjoyed Rein Osteria and will continue to go to that. So I'm hoping The Reserve goes in a little different direction so our community as more unique options.

We arrived during a quiet moment and found ourselves seated on an outdoor covered patio. The band was getting ready for what looked like a fun evening. They had an Octoberfest menu, which you absolutely have to try! That night, it seemed to attract an older crowd, but anyone would enjoy the friendly vibe. The schnitzel was excellent, especially when paired with red cabbage and spätzle. My grand daughter absolutely loved the spätzle. The bratwurst was good on a nice thick roll. Overall, we had a very nice day in Bethel, CT, and the Dragonfly was the perfect way to end our journey.

We started with a really great two cheese crostini which was delicious. I paired that with a rye old fashioned (or two) and that drink really hit the spot. For my entree I had a meatball hero which was just as delicious the next day when I had the second half for lunch. The portion was huge and I loved the meatballs and the sauce. For dessert we had a cheesecake with a house made pistachio creme which was amazing. We had a chance to talk to Tim who I believe owns the place and we asked him about a sign we saw on the westside at Innovation Studios for a Rebellion Gastropub. He says he hopes to have that open early in the new year so we can't wait to try that out as well, especially since it's only a five minute drive. But it's worth a 20 minute drive or more to visit Rebellion and we'll definitely be back.

On our last night in Danbury we stopped by Barnwood Tavern and I'm not going to lie they weren't my…read morefirst choice and I was so wrong not to pick them first! Everything we ate was truly amazing! We started with the spinach and artichoke dip and lobster bisque. My husband said it was the best spinach dip we've had in a very long time and I fully agree! My mother loved the bisque and would have been happy if that was all she ate because it was so good! For our mains we had the cheeseburger, the Philly sandwich, and the braised beef risotto. The cheeseburger looked very boring but had great flavor. The risotto was amazing however the braised beef needed a bit more flavor. The Philly sandwich was outstanding! We ended with the sticky toffee cake and again this was perfect! So why only 4 stars? I wasn't overly impressed with our waitress. She seemed rather disinterested in her job and pushed a lot onto the supporting staff who were so attentive. I also found some tables received bread while others did not. We also found the spinach dip needed a lot more bread and the burger while it was delicious it just looked sad. If we are ever local again we will definitely come back and hopefully the service will be a bit better!

It was a hot day, and while they have a really nice outdoor seating area, we were more than happy to head inside and cool off. Sara immediately welcomed us with water and shared a little about the menu. I loved seeing that much of the draft beer selection featured local microbreweries... so naturally, I dove right in! The food was creative, fresh and full of flavor. We shared the mushroom potstickers, broccoli Caesar salad and a fresh local tomato soup that was so good we honestly could have ordered another. The service was spot-on, the modern-kitsch atmosphere was fun and inviting, and Sara really added to the experience. We loved our lunch at Sparrow and enjoyed everything so much that we're already planning to come back and work our way through more of the menu.

We weren't sure if it was us or the serving sizes, so didn't yelp. After good feedback from a few locals (Jane D!) we decided to try again and this time added on 2 apps for the 4 of us, and boy those apps were good. The Street Corn Nachos were very good, just a tad burned around the outside, as often the case with nachos, so no biggie. The KFC Bao was very good, extremely flavorful as reported by others, must try! I had the Chicken Milanese which I enjoyed a lot. Very flavorful yet just a tad salty,from a guy who loves salt, from what others tell me... Nice size serving. My buddy and son had the smashburger which looked great, they loved the burger and I tried the fries which were superb but came out a bit cold. Picky son said the bun was "ordinary". He knows his breads... Wife had the Curry Shrimp which she enjoyed very much. Nice tap beer selection and a very full bar menu and warm looking bar and clientele. Service was a bit off. Pleasant yet didn't pay enough attention. Help Served apps without plates and server took way too long to notice and fix. She was very nice, maybe a bit overloaded. We sat outside this time because the music inside was a bit too loud for us to chat comfortably. Inside is relaxed seating mostly overlooking a nice bar, fine for any occasion, not at all formal, so any attire would be fine. Very clean, including the well appointed/decorated genderless bathrooms. All of us left very satisfied and prices were fair, as expected. We found the experience very satisfying and portions were just fine. Heard the desserts are great, will try next time! We will return!
