One of the nicest outdoor spaces! Inside is also nice, but highly recommend in the summer. The staff is warm and let you hang out without rushing you. Loved the tuna salad! Crab quesadilla was also good. Good place to go with families as well, plenty of space for kids to move around outside. read more

We went there last week for the first time and we were smitten. We sat outside to watch the band play and everyone was so helpful and friendly. The service was superb and the meal gave me a food gasm. The fusion flavors woke up my taste buds and everything was so yummy. We both had the stuffed chicken and it was so good. It was a good size portion and there was no skimping. We are certainly going back there again. Oh and my hubby had the Banana Foster and the flavor was so rich and the cheesecake was so creamy and the crust....omg read more

We stopped off for a late lunch during a long drive - found this great restaurant not far from the highway. Loved this spot. The food was so tasty (lamb chops and lobster roll) and the service was welcoming. The atmosphere was great too. It was a nice day so we sat outside and enjoyed the whole experience. Would definitely return. read more

After a delightful afternoon of apple picking and wandering through a pumpkin patch, it was time for an early dinner. 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. read more

Went for dinner and was disappointed. Couldn't even finish one dish. Seemed more of a bar scene. I'd had a nice lunch there about a year ago. read more

Outside bar service is horrible. Sat at the bar for over 20 minutes and nobody acknowledged me. Also tried to double charge me for a second beer. read more

Food, service and atmosphere have a lot to beg for. Food quality is sub par and atmosphere is uninviting being that it appears to be a troll cottage and the only comfortable place to eat if your a normal size person is the bar. Sad. read more

We had blackberry margarita and spicy house margarita. Both were delicious. We had seafood salad special appetizer- my husband devoured it. Big enough for a meal. I had lamb chop appetizer- equally delicious! My daughter had shrimp appetizer- balcony delicious. The waiter was pleasant. read more

We visited The Dragonfly for lunch with friends earlier this week. The outdoor seating is lovely! The food was delicious, and served quickly. 3 of us had sangria, which was delicious, and the fourth had Guinness. The salmon BLT was perfect, as were the the chicken sliders that two others ordered. The lobster roll was also very good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for food, ambiance and value. read more

Awsome service, great outdoor bar area with live music. Good food with some pretty good specials. Inside is small but comfortable

Food is alway fresh and delicious never had a bad meal their onion apple french onion soup is so good and their tomato bisque is to die for my picky daughter loves it that saying a lot and I love it near my salon read more

We walked in a little after 8 PM on a Saturday night and we're able to get seating inside! Very friendly staff, especially Cameron, who took care of us for the evening. to start, we got the jalapeño crabcake which were delicious! for entrees we got the Cajun salmon and the red snapper handheld, both were delicious and filling The atmosphere inside is super cozy and the art indoors follows their eclectic theme. There was also live music outdoors with lots of seating in their back patio overall great food, great service, and great prices. will definitely be returning! read more

This is an amazing place!! Absolutely love the food, atmosphere and the staff is fantastic!!

Live music on Fridays, great food & drinks. We walked in a little late to listen to the music, very accommodating staff and owner. Highly recommend read more

Charming setting, intriguing choices and reasonably priced - especially considering the sophistication of the menu. We stopped in for lunch and enjoyed the salmon BLT and caesar salad. Will be back for the enticing dinner offerings! read more

Definitely check this place out!!! Dragonfly is an inviting and friendly place. The decor is fun and whimsical. The cocktails are superb! The service is great. And the food is ecclectic and delicious. Looking forward to returning when the weather is warmer to enjoy the outdoor patio and live music. Met one of the owner's- friendly guy, who appears to take pride in this place and ensures you want to return. Thank you for a great experience & the shirt read more

Good atmosphere, service and food. Every dish, and dessert were very good - even fresh made whipped cream! Universal restrooms that were nice and clean. Reasonable prices and and nice space, with a lovely pub feel in front, an airy, bright dining room and a large outdoor area with a separate bar. Looks like a great place to enjoy music in the summer, will definitely come back again. read more

Lunch was delicious and our server was fantastic. Crab cakes and red snapper sandwich is what we dined on. The cozy ambiance added to the overall enjoyable experience. read more

When they first opened there were no sandwiches and just higher priced entrees and expensive cocktails. They added some lighter fare and okay tap beers. It can get loud outside with a bunch of corporate after work drinkers. Not a lot changed from previous incarnation as a tequila bar as far as seating and decoration goes. read more

Fantastic dinner. The Scallops and Risotto entree was amazing ! Crab cake for appetizer is a definite do over next time . But.... I think about the pistachio Martini the most. Great job on the menu selections without overdoing. Great vibe & can't wait to dine outside . read more

With the name, for some reason I had expected a more Asian menu and there were a few items, but it was mostly pub fare. The apps were good. My burger that I settled on was good. Our waiter, a budding teacher earning money to pay off his loans, was excellent. Attentive and funny. We had a nice gelato to cap off our meals. We sat at a table in the bar, which was comfortable at first but by 7 the little bar was packed. Suddenly it got very loud and although I'm not claustrophobic I felt uncomfortable. It is a intimate structure, the whole place, so it's good to know going in. I'd like to return in the warmer months, when you can be outside and perhaps the summer menu will be more intriguing. read more

Table of six please!! All food came out perfectly prepared, perfect temp and incredibly delicious. We had pierogies, bacon shrimp and crab cakes to start the night. Entrees included salmon, short ribs and mahi mahi. For a table of six, all the food came together and we never felt rushed even though they were busy. The server was attentive and one of the owners stopped over to check in. I've been referring this place a ton--and everyone comes back with the same feedback!! Thanks for the great night, and thanks for keeping that margarita on the menu read more

We had a great time sitting at the bar ordering cocktails and experiencing the delicious menu! We will definitely be back.

Wonderful hidden gem - great food (loved the jalapeño cheddar crab cakes!) and attentive staff. Loved the atmosphere and decor, as well!

I had high hopes because of all the stellar reviews. Well apparently people like mediocre food. Very small place to eat and sad plastic chairs. If you are looking for a place to drink and hang out, this may be your place. If you are looking for Mrs. T's Pirogies and chicken meatballs with celery (chicken pops, lol) then this is your place. The cook may be stuck serving cheap food but at least they can make it taste decent. The brisket was underwhelming as well since it was a cheap piece of sirloin. The service was stellar as long as you order a bunch of drinks. Great place to get a drink and have decent frozen food. 5 star Michelin it is not. read more

Food price/quality (value) rating 8.5. The atmosphere is eclectic, with very low ceilings (making it noisy), with a cute fireplace and a large bar. I had the filet mignon which was prepared and presented wonderfully. A delicious gorgonzola crust, along with some grilled asparagus and risotto. Excellent! My wife had the Dragonfly Pasta, which was a varied mix of vegetables and pasta, with a coconut curry sauce. Very unique flavors. We also split the sauteed artichoke hearts which were fantastic. They offer a limited but well chosen list of draught beer, and have a full bar. The service was very good. This place is small, so you probably should make reservations. They probably should include bread or a salad with some entrees, as the place is fairly expensive, but that also means you probably won't have to deal with noisy children often. We'll definitely come back. read more

I haven't been surprised by a restaurant in a long time but I am very satisfied with my visit to dragonfly. I went with my mom, sister and out of town aunt for my mom's birthday and we all got different meals. We were ALL very impressed by the flavor and quality of our food - and the quantity of the amount of food we all got. The service was also very good. No weird waiting around or bad vibes. Everything was smooth and nice. I am going to be back. Thank you so much- you all are doing something right. read more

Such a cute place. Love the outdoor areas, it must be so fun in the summer. They have a lovely drink menu including seasonal martinis. Everything we had was great- artichoke appetizer was delish and salmon dinner was perfectly cooked and seasoned. read more

Great food and service We found a gem in Bethel Pierogis salmon and scallops exceeded expectations read more

The food was incredible, and the drinks were delicious. The ambiance was pretty neat too, the whole vibe was cute and relaxing. The servers were nice, and attentive. Next time I'm visiting the area I'm definitely coming back! I want more of that stuffed chicken. read more

I drive by here often when I go to Target. From the road it looked like a cute, quaint little place. Some friends and I went for girls night a few weeks ago. 3 of us got the Caribbean Jerk Scallops. Lord have mercy!!! It was amazing. Scallops were perfectly cooked, as well as, the risotto. So flavorful! Drinks were also perfectly mixed and delicious. We loved sitting outside. All 5 of us enjoyed it so much. Staff was accommodating and so friendly. Definitely a new place to eat at often. I can't wait to bring my husband. read more

Hmmm... difficult review. The food is quite good! Unfortunately the wait staff is NOT TRAINED and therefore the service is lacking. I have never order a bottle of wine without being asked to taste it and then had the entire bottle of wine poured at once. The drinks were poorly made. We wish the staff was trained and the service was better because the food was quite tasty. Addendum: the bill was wrong the same bottle of wine was charged at 2 different rates the waiter claimed he'd fix it but didn't. This is inexcusable, the rating drops to a 3 from a 4 amd we won't come back! ( and if you do try it don't sit in the small back room near the patio, the acoustics are terrible and it's very difficult to carry on a conversation) read more

Super nice and know staff-yummy food and generous drinks! The black knights app is delicious. Definitely worth a visit!

Great food , service and atmosphere ! The pirogies were outstanding as well as the chicken ! Great outdoor seating with live music

omg best food I've had in years!! started with with their special pear basil martini. l was a little suspicious and wow, it was delicious, just the right amount of sweet pear and basil for main course I had jerk scallops and coconut risotto and I have to say best food ever! the scallops had a bit of heat that was tempered by the coconut risotto... could not have had a better balance. first class food is available in Bethel!!! yipee!!!! read more

The food was OK. We had the Pierogies and he bufallo chicken pops as appetizer, that was nice. My husband took the vegetarian plate it was odd, with some cactus leaves, and other grilled vegetables. it was blend and he didn't like it. His daughter took the salmon and she wasn't too keen on it - but she would have preferred a burger they didn't have one (she is a teenager...) . I took he bleu cheese Chicken which was ok, food was tasty if a little too salty and one draw back, too much blue cheese which over powered the rest of the dish. But we were served promptly, we were only 2 tables. The décor is nice, although doesn't fit the food served. It seems like an Irish pub. They seem to have changed their menu already, and now there is a burger.. Or maybe when we went they only had the bar food available Not sure read more

Driving by and decided to try this new iteration of a very old German restaurant. Pleasant day-approaching hot-but we sat outside near the garden. Plenty of great seating, as there is in the restaurant with many small rooms and a decent sized bar. Our server/bartender Samantha was beyond friendly, courteous, and helpful. The food was very good- mushroom soup, pierogis and the stuffed chicken. The owners seem dedicated and are engaging. Wish them well. read more

Great service, food was excellent, cocktails were delicious and the atmosphere was fun and festive. The red snapper was superb

Nice, small, can be a little loud, wonderful outside dinning, great staff (Taylor was delightful) small but tasty menu (must try the scallops and the lollipop lamb chops, outstanding), salads are plentiful. This is a very nice find... my ONLY minor complaint, the wine list could use a little expansion... however, we did have two bottles... try it, it's worth it for sure... read more
