Holy Smokes IM FULL!…read more Dammmmmm I said Dammmmmmmm this is good stuff here. I tried the onion rings, I tried the Philly egg rolls, I tried the wings, the Philly fries AND the BBQ Bacon Philly sub. Everything had great flavor. The onion rings.. crispy and hot with a dusting of magic powder that kept me thinking I want more. Maybe, some magic sauce on those wings YESSIR that's what you want. Extra sauce! The BBQ bacon sun was blasted with bacon and drowning in cheese, with a nice sweet BBQ sauce holding it all together. If your looking for a Philly cheese steak in CT... this is THE Place.

Small Kitchen Big Taste recently catered the farm to table dinner at Boulder Knoll in Cheshire…read more They used the fresh vegetables provided and came up with a delicious and memorable menu! We are all still talking about the lovely dinner they whipped up. My husband who does not like vegetables, LOVED THE VEGETABLES!! I don't really like meat, but I LOVED THE CHICKEN over beautiful fresh squash. We couldn't get enough and went home very full and satisfied. The staff were so lovely, comfortable, generous and competent. Thankful for their time and talent.

Working with SKBT and Karen has been a joy from start to finish. From the moment we walked into our tasting to create our delicious menu, to last minute changes, to executing perfect food the day of, I want to relive this experience again and again. My guests raved about the menu, and some favorites included fun takes on cocktail meatballs, shrimp and grits, and chilled tomato soup shooters. The food was beautiful and displayed like it was in a magazine. Karen and her team were also in charge of staffing my event. This meant not only did they feed my guests, but bussed the tables, cleaned up trash, set up my pie display (Karen took it upon herself to clean out her stock of cake stands and create the most beautiful tables ever) and EVEN mop my bathroom trailer when it sprung a leak. As guests started to leave, SKBT cleaned every table and organized my decor. Best of all, Karen and her team were friendly and attentive the entire night. My bridal party had their own tray of appetizers waiting for them immediately following the ceremony, and all night the staff checked in on my husband and I (as well as my parents) to see how they could help. I eagerly look forward to having another event so I can hire this team again.

Pulled pork and veggies- everything was fresh and you can tell Sal pours his whole heart and soul into his craft. Family enjoyed it so much that I've received multiple inquiries for his contact information so that we can use him as a preferred caterer for our next family function. I'd give 10 stars if I could- highly recommend!!!

Inside was gorgeous as well. The set up was stunning and I loved the lounge while we waited to enter the main room. I'm not sure if they provided the decor but it was top tier. The food was delicious(even though I didn't take a lot of photos). The drinks were amazing. I wish I got the name of the bartender in the hall area, she was so spot on with every drink I ordered. The customer service was top tier. The servers were very kind and attentive to all our needs. The stressed to know about allergies and preferences, which was impressive. I've gone to conferences where allergies were treated carelessly and people got sick. So I really appreciated them constantly checking in. The tables were cleared immediately after you were done. The servers were very accommodating when asked for additional things as well. Looks of gorgeous areas to take photos. The area we were in was wheelchair and disabled accessible which was great. The bathrooms were nice and clean as well. I had a great time and would highly recommend and love to come again.

I used UberEats to have this delivered, so I can't comment about the service or the interior…read more However, I have had this less than two weeks ago, so the taste of what I had here was still fresh in my mind and so comes the review. My order? I had burnt ends, a Caesar Salad, cornbread, and a slice of key lime pie for dessert. The fact all these came together in the same order with a wait time that wasn't suicide inducing is always a plus, especially in a delivery setting. The cornbread was cake-like and soft, and the butter that came with it complimented this cornbread perfectly! I have no complaints about this cornbread. The Caesar Salad come with blue cheese dressing. The salad dressing wasn't great, but the salad itself was actually really good. Just make sure you eat it the day you get it because the Croutons lose their crunch if you store it for leftovers, and grab a fork for the dressing if you're gonna have the dressing at all. In fact, the whole salad does not hold for too long, so it was a good thing I didn't wait another day to finish this so as not to risk it wilting. Other than those, you get a great portion and it's actually really good when you first get it. The key lime pie is pretty good and tastes just like a key lime pie should. No complaints here either. Now for the burnt ends. The meat can be a little tough, but I can get over that, especially with the BBQ sauce. If you can't get over the toughness of the meat, then you'll have a tough time with this. Overall, they're good and definitely an option for barbecue if you are close to Waterbury but do not want to actually go there. I can only give this four stars because I have not actually been to this place in person and only ever had this through delivery. If I do actually go there, I may change this to a five.

Basically you will need to prep and take care of everything yourself. Overall a solid experience.

This…read moreestablishment has a few ballrooms located inside with plenty of different styles to fit whatever need, event, and theme you may be looking for. Upon driving up to the venue, you are greeted with a long driveway that takes you directly to the entrance of the venue. You can walk along their garden path, passed their beautiful garden archway that leads you to their gardens. They also have a chapel right beside the location where a lot of wedding ceremonies take place. Upon entering the main location, you are greeted with just opulence. White marble flooring, white walls with gold trim. It's just spectacular. To your right, there is a grand staircase with a piano forte where a lot of pictures are taken. The ballroom we were in was Ball room B, and it was nothing short of amazing. A grand staircase that leads to a couple of suits where brides, bridal parties, and birthday girls can get ready at. The room itself is grand. Hosts about 300 people or so. It has a bar towards the back of the room. The food was delicious. We had appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Everything from the meat and cheese, fruits, crab cakes, calamari, egg rolls, etc. was delicious! I ate so much food and felt no guilt about it. If I lived in the state, this would definitely be my go-to location to host any events as they do go above and beyond to help make sure things run smoothly on the day of the event. Towards the end of the night, we had the pleasure of meeting one of the Co Owners, Ernesto, I believe. He was very polite and asked how we liked the venue and if we had a great time. He even took the time out to show us more of the grounds that we didn't see as we were not in that area. We also were able to sneak peak, another venue that was hosting a wedding, and that room was GRANDER than the one we were in. Over all great experience, and as an attendee, I had a great time, had no complaints, and was glad I was invited and got to experience this magical night with my cousin.

So sweet to us and understanding we had just ate, professional and recommended dishes for our next visit, other great places, just one of the best servers we have had recently. The restaurant offers indoor seating, has a lovely bar area, I saw two tables that looked perfect for a wintery romantic dinner by the fireplace (electric I think). But it's the outdoor dining on the water that's truly special. I asked Katie about the beautiful flowers everywhere and she explained the owners wife handles them all. Talk about a green thumb!! Amazing. Idk why the low rating on yelp but I wanted to give five stars for service, ambience, and cleanliness but couldn't because we didn't eat so tomorrow I hope to add to this review with our food experience. Go with complete confidence. Unfortunately Katie is going back to teaching kiddos soon but just go.
