We had a great time…read more There were items on menu that were not available during a busy (Mother's Day) weekend, which I found to be not okay. The food was okay. The drinks were pretty good. The ceiling was leaking rain. But all in all, everything was okay. I would go back again to try it in a smaller group and see. If so, I would leave a follow up review. That said, I would have normally reviewed this one negatively, but as I said, I was in a large party and had a great time. So it's difficult for me to review this spot down in any way as a result. Service was great. Ambiance mid bc of the roof. Food mid+ due to pricing and resulting plates. As a recommendation, I would say go there in a smaller group, maybe 6 people TOPS! Everything should be good enough. I would/will go back if the occasion presents, but I wouldn't go back just my wife and I as I believe I know what will be produced. And I believe it will be underwhelming. I think that if this place had a more consistent product, a tighter roof situation (if you're an indoor/outdoor rooftop space it needs to be water tight!), and more menu accountability it would be awesome. But as I write, I don't believe that's the case. Hopefully I find myself there in the coming months with the wife and I can (and would) update this review. Outside of that? It is what it is.

Our food came out hot and we were served with smiles all night. If you are looking for something different, try their crepes!! The crepes were massive and loaded with filling. We also really loved the autumn salad (it was loaded with goat cheese)!! We did wish the cocktail list was more updated because a lot of the drinks seemed fall inspired. But overall, we had a great night out with friends!

Great team, great food, and from the first visit they start treating you like you've been coming for years.

Very much worth the visit.

Normally they are so attentive to allergies. Lately I've walked out twice and had an allergic reaction bc they didn't know the difference between vegan/gf and just gf. Second, we've noticed the mugs for the chai lattes became smaller from one week to the other. Then we noticed orange juice cups over time went from one size to a smaller size, then another size, and now last week something completely small. However the prices always remain the same. I undetstand everything has gone up in price but from one week to another sizes should not be changing consistently. Your waiting more money on constantly buying to replace new dishware then if it were to stay and serve the same probably. I'm disappointed to see such a wonderful place starting to take a little bit of a tumble. I hope it starts to stabilize again. Also we miss "Will". He always knew allergies, and knew the menu inside out, and if something didn't work he would go into the kitchen and make something work for us.

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.

Lived in Danbury, South Side, all my life, 67 years, have only been here once, last Friday, 9/9/22... Was on my way to Bethel Food, felt like breakfast, gave it a try... VERY friendly, service was "good" it's a local hot spot, so all the staff know everyone so a "new" guy gets lost, I understand... As stated, wait staff great, service "could have been" a little quicker... I saw my order just sitting on the counter because staff were engaged with the customers, no biggie! Food was good, home fries were FANTASTIC... order prepared just as requested... I go to Bethel Food EVERY Friday, this may become my regular stop prior... Only my first time, plan on going tomorrow, 9/16/22 to see a follow up! read more

Jackies is the best place to get breakfast in and around town! They're super clean with outstanding customer service. Everyone is always friendly and full of smiles. As for the food, I've had so many options on the menu. From breakfast, to lunch, everything has always tasted amazing. I prefer going here over diners, which can be overcrowded and busy, leaving customers to feel rushed. I've never felt rushed at Jacqueline's - it is my go to breakfast spot! Great family as well. read more

The meal was accompanied by delicious shredded potatoes hash browns and sourdough toast. As if the food and ambiance wasn't enough, our waitress, Pina, was very capable and had a great sense of humor. It's for these reasons that I give this diner a 5-star rating!!

I thought the hash was well done with plenty of potato and meat. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the toast was nice and crispy. I did find the hashbrowns to be a bit soggy and bland but who doesn't love a potato regardless? The bill came out to be around $85 for four meals and beverages which wasn't too bad for breakfast.
