We had lunch in downtown Naugatuck so weren't hungry when we lucked upon this absolutely gorgeous restaurant. OMG I truly don't have words for how pretty it is. Our server was Katy R. 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. read more

Another outstanding meal at Jesse's! Whatever you do do not sleep on the steak tips! I can't tell you how many countless times I've had them and they're always outstanding. My cousin had them as a dinner and I had a salad with steak tips added. They're so well seasoned, excellent marinade, flame grilled and cooked perfectly whether you're ordering them rare or well done! read more

My second overall visit here. Tonight I opted for the Friday and Saturday night special, the garlic crusted prime rib. I dare say that the lean parts lacked some flavor, and I was surprised it did not come with a separate cup of au jus. However, the mashed potatoes were out of this world good and the veggies also had a flavor punch, so just make a bite of the lean meat with the sides and you're all set! This place is always packed and busy, and the atmosphere is quite pleasant. A very nice dinner spot! read more

Jesse Camille's Restaurant - Friday and Saturday dinner special garlic crusted prime rib - Caterers Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

My daughter has a go to list of restaurants she would like to go to. She chose Jesse Camille's & asked me to go. If you can't find an item on the menu, there is something wrong. The food was very good & the service with our waitress was at a no rush pace! She made your night out very comfortable. Of course, being out on the deck made it even more comfortable. Can't wait to go back! read more

I would highly recommend checking this place out. Everything was perfect; the staff, atmosphere and especially the food! read more

Jesse Camille's Restaurant - We ordered the prime rib, which was cooked perfectly! Mashed potatoes, veggies also, delicious! - Caterers Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

Overlooking the Hop Brook Golf Course, Jesse Camille's is a rustic eatery offering classic pub food with fresh ingredients. It has a homey ambiance inside featuring rustic touches. They also hold the recognition for having one of the most amazing outdoor patios in the state. My martini arrived shaken and served in a standard stemless glass with a very generous pour to the brim. While the drink was slightly watered down from the preparation, it still hit the spot. The olives were a bit bruised and lacked that sharp, briny punch I look for. Even though it was pretty busy due to walk-ins and a private event, the affable bartender ensured the great guest experience was delivered. While it took about an hour for my burger to arrive, I enjoyed it very much once it did. The kitchen executed a perfect medium-rare, and the thick patty had a delicious grilled flavor. In addition, I enjoyed their fries and onion rings. Overall, this is a nice spot for straightforward comfort food and honest no-fuss drinks. read more

Staff was fantastic, place is clean . Clam chowder was delicious, French dip was dry and the wings were so over breaded, I would have never ordered them if I knew they were like this. I'd go back for staff and the clam chowder read more

Food was great, drinks were great, and even the service was great. The host Erica ruined our evening by being rude to us the entire time and coming up to us at the end and yelling at us about having a problem with her just because we're not up by the minute she asked us ( we were waiting for our bill). Her attitude was disgusting and we will not be back for a while read more

The bartender on sunday was rude and disrespectful. That's the last time i'll ever go there.​ Completely separate from that experience, their steak tips are delicious! read more

Had the clam strips dinner which was excellent grind had the salmon dinner which was excellent.

Food was good, service was good. Lots and lots of booze on the menu. It seems clear from the very loud clientele that alcohol is a big part of the business here, with people enjoying their time playing golf and then tossing a few back. That being said, charging over $2 per refill on a soft drink seems greedy to me. Other than that this was a nice lunch spot. read more

If you are from the area, you will know of this gem that is a must stop-by after a round of golf or if you simply are in the mood for some delicious food! Have been coming here for years and I have yet to be disappointed. I noticed the new additional renovations and additions to the restaurant - they've added more patio seatings and outdoor dining for those to take advantage of in good weather. You get a fantastic view of the tranquil river crossing by and the nice greens. I noticed they can also accommodate for large parties with a tent in the back of their lot in case you wish to host an event there. When we arrived we were given the choice of where to sit and the staff patiently accommodated us as we debated which table was best. Once sat and attended to, our food came quickly. We tried the pasta a la vodka, chicken Parmesan and the signature JC burger. Their portions are more than enough and plenty to take home after if you do not finish. JC burger was served with a soft brioche bun, and I found it quite decent sized (everyone knows a place where they serve burgers bigger than your face's size). The pasta and chicken parm came with the option of soup or salad and we got to try both (clam chowder and house salad). Loved the food and can't wait to try more! read more

Came here to celebrate my wife's birthday with the family. 12 of us all together. We were seated for our reserved time on time. Drinks were ordered and came quickly. We placed our order and waited and waited. Server came out and apologized for the delay. We started with the burrata which was decent. Then the meal came. Both of the chicken parm grinders were unseasoned no mozzarella and the rolls were hard as a rock. The chicken wrap was missing the ranch dressing we asked for it twice it never arrived. I ordered the prime rib. It was cold. The fat was hard as a rock. Don't know when they cooked it but it wasn't the same day I bet. Sent it back. It came back after literally being microwaved. The rest of the food was cool or cold. We will not go back ever. read more

Jesse Camille's Restaurant - Steak tips sandwich with tots. - Caterers Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

The scuttlebutt has it that this establishment is a must-stop for those in the Naugatuck Valley. While not my first venture into this fabulous bistro-on-the-green, I am pleased every time I enter. The owner is quick to regale you with his New England charm and if there is any issue with your evening out, he will always do his best to rectify the situation. The loquacious bar manager is a great mixologist and seasonal beverages are always available. As far as the food goes, there's weekly specials as well as the general fare. Do yourself a favor and order the ahi tuna appetizer, you won't regret it. Despite being busy due to the proximity to Hop Brook golf course the servers are always cordial and helpful. When you take Naugatuck exits off of route 8 be sure to check out this gem. read more

I've often driven past here but never had the time or reason to stop by. One of my friends was playing here one night, so it was as good a time as any. I dragged Writer Friend along with me, after having dinner elsewhere that evening. I had assumed that the entertainment would be in the lounge, but it ended up being in one of the dining rooms. The host/owner (not sure which) assured us that we were more than welcome to sit in there with cocktails, so that's what we did, selecting a very decent bottle of wine from their extensive wine list. Luckily, it was a slower night so there was no demand for our table for diners. In fact, there were several other table who came in just for the entertainment. However, we learned, as we watched and smelled servers bring food to other tables, that we should plan eating where the entertainment is--everything looked delicious and plentiful. Next time we go there! read more

Amazing. Picked up trays for a retirement party. Everyone raved about the food. Have used in the past and will use again. Also recommend for dining in. read more

Everything you would expect to get walking in the door. Set on. A golf course with a regular bar crowd. This seems to be like many other restaurants a watering hole with grub. Food was ok, could have been warmer but overall not the best and not the worst. read more

Boy I really wanted this place to be good but unfortunately it was just sort of ok. When we arrived we were sort of confused as to where to enter. I think they have about 2-3 different entry ways. Finally we got in through the bar section and started to look for someone to get us seated. To be fair it looked like there was a party finishing but it was a bit confusing. The restaurant has several dining spots: the bar area, dining room and a patio. We chose the patio which looked like the best option. For starters we had an appetizer which was calamari with a sprinkle of blue cheese. We really liked the calamari, it was cooked perfectly and the marinara sauce was good. For lunch I had the bbq steak tips sandwich and my gf had the fish and chips. My gf liked her fish but my steak tips were not too good. First of all I barely had any tips and unfortunately they had very little flavor. I was left underwhelmed and to be honest still hungry. I don't think I will be back. read more

The food was good and the service friendly. That said the restaurant was very noisy and was okay for a pub style place but the food would be better served in a nicer venue read more

Went with some friends. Ordered the shrimp as an appetizer. It didnt come. The meal was served and I had the Sesame Encrusted Ahi Tuna (Excellent). Asked the waiter to get me soy sauce and wasabi. He stated that it comes with the meal. It came with watered down wasabi and no soy. He did go back and get that for me. At the conclusion of the diner I told him to cancel the shrimp. He brought it out anyway and said he was sorry and would "comp" it. He didn't but they didn't forget to add their 20% tip. Time before that ordered an entrée that was supposed to be sautéed with a butter/ wine/ garlic sauce. It wasn't. It tasted like straight up Beef broth., Disgusting. This place is hit or miss. You will either have good food and bad service or vice versa. read more

Mixed Review: The ambiance at Jesse Camille's is lovely! Lots of wood, glass, artwork and seasonal decor! Definitely cozy and welcoming! The service was great, efficient fast and friendly. Our appetizers, Parmesan truffle wings and spinach and artichoke dip were both delicious, the wings were crispy (breaded deep fried type) and juicy on the inside and seasoned just right and the dip had huge chunks of artichoke and full fresh spinach leaves, in a very thick cheesy creamy sauce - just how I like it! Unfortunately our entrees were not as good. I picked the Chicken Marscapone Marsala and substituted the rice for extra green beans. The chicken was tough and overcooked, there were literally 2 pieces of mushroom and the sauce whilst spot on for flavor was extremely watery, as you can see on the edges of the plate on the picture. The green beans were delicious and the highlight of the dish. And I have no idea where the Marscapone is in the dish ... it was missing as far as I could see. The pasta in vodka sauce was ok but not at all creamy as it should be, and the French dip had no cheese and was very dry but did have a lot of meat. Google reviews were 4.3 stars but I'd say YELPs 3.5 is much more appropriate. read more

Innovative menu, reasonable pricing. Brunch, live music (check beforehand) ample covered deck and waterside dining weather permitting. Attentive staff know the menu, lots of daily specials. We had turkey wraps, grilled sandwiches with homemade soups, ending with yummy cheesecake and carrot cake. We will definitely return soon. read more

One reviewer said it best - this place IS a true gem! The best thing you can use to tell if an eatery, rest, pub, etc is a really good is if lots of people are there. We were there last Monday and the place was packed! Wonderful food (we had fish and chips) perfect! Due to the soggy weather, we sat inside and were nice and warm. But we had a great view of the deck and the amazing river view from our table! Will definitely be going back for lunch or dinner out on the deck soon! read more

Stopped in for lunch after playing 9 at Hop Brook. First time here, we'll be back Atmosphere, nice deck to enjoy an early summer's day. Very friendly and professional and knowledgeable waitress. Food was great. My wife and I split the walnut, granny smith apple salad (which was amazing and huge) and a Nashville Hot Fried Chicken sandwich which was pretty good (we've had them in TN several times, so we're spoiled). Our friends had a "Russian Roast Beef" sandwich and a shrimp, pasta dish and they really enjoyed both. The value, atmosphere and quality of food was excellent. As I said, we will be back and look forward to trying more of their menu. read more

In my review, I forgot to mention, that our waitress, Melanie was fantastic. We had many questions about the menu, and she knew every answer. She made wonderful recommendations, and she was honest enough to say that we would probably enjoy this entrée more than that entrée. We asked her not to rush us and once she served the appetizers she didn't put the next order in until we said it was OK and she did that with each thing we ordered so we could spend lots of time just enjoying the meal and our conversations. The bottom line is we absolutely enjoyed not only what we ate, but the service we received. even though the restaurant is about 35 miles away we will be going there frequently. read more

Came here for dinner last night. Food was great, service was awful. Our waitress never came over to check on how our entrees were. She was bartending at the same time, and watched her take shots behind the bar. The only time she came over was AFTER we had been done with our food for a while and just needed boxes and a check at that point. Watching your waitress take shots behind the bar while you need something while dining is beyond unprofessional. read more

This place has always left me wanting more. None of the food is particularly good, the service is lackluster, and the ambience leaves much to be desired. Only really go when my mother in law wants to go out and stay somewhat local. read more

I have been here several times before and decided to come back again for dinner. The restaurant is the main hub for the adjoining golf course and has a good crowd most nights. I have had a few items from the menu and I have enjoyed them all for the most part. The JC sampler is usually a very good choice but tonight I had the scallops. They were cooked very well and the lobster roll my wife had was great as well. One time, prior to COVID-19, we went for the prime rib dinner and it wasn't as good as usual. An older couple sitting at a table nearby asked if the regular cook was away because the meal was not as good as usual. Other than that time, we have always had a good experience there. There are a few ways to get in that aren't clearly marked. The outside seating area can be accessible by walking through the grass from the parking lot or go around to the bar entrance and there is a deck entrance as well. They also do private parties along with fundraiser and school support events. read more

This was a little gem of a surprise! My family and I traveled to Naugatuck over the weekend as they were hosting a Christmas walk through. By time we were done, it was time for a late lunch. We stumbled upon this place. At first I was hesitant as it was connected to a golf course and did not know what to expect. We did a quick google on the menu and the first thing I saw was a drink called "Fancy Like Espresso Martini" and "Chasing After You Pumpkin Tini" and I was sold! It was very cute and homey inside. Our server Kasey was very sweet. The kids shared chicken tenders and we ordered the Irish Nachos to share. My husband had a meat trio of some sort and I ordered their version of a cobb salad with blackened chicken. The food was delicious, when we received our bill I was very surprised at the affordability of the menu. After our lunch- I took the kids for a walk on the grounds as there is a cute bridge and waterway right outside. This is a little out of the way but we want to make it a point to go back, especially when the weather is nicer and could possibly utilize the patio and/or outside seating. read more

Update: we went again and our experience was a lot better than our first time!! I tried the scallops and risotto this time and it was delicious!!! I'm not sure if there's a new chef or we just had someone different but it was a very well cooked meal. read more

I've been here on multiple occasions. And every time the food is good. The wait staff is awesome, friendly, fast, and attentive, everything you want in a waiter or waitress. The outdoor patio is the place to sit and they have space heaters during the cooler months so you're never uncomfortable. Definitely recommend for a nice calm night out. read more

We ordered Jesse Camille's Easter meals this year during the pamdemic and it was phenomenal. We had the chicken francaise and sliced ribeye. Each meal Isnpacked for four people with sides, aalad and rolls. Every dish I tasted was better than the last! I may continue to cater my holiday meals from JC's after the pandemic. Definitey ordering for Mother's Day. So easy and convenient. And delicious! read more

We went there on a post-internment lunch and found the staff totally helpful, understanding and as well, providing for excellent food. The facilities are located right next to the Hop Brook Golf course, and is well attended by golfers and visitors alike. The restaurant is not a white-linen table type, but instead a more rustic feel with large wooden tables. Our faire included a superbly appointed salad, baked zitti, meatball casseroles, chicken and a melange of vegetables. All items were exquisite although less spiced than I would have liked. Full bar on the premises. And complimentary WiFi for the geek in us... read more

So after a bad experience since we moved here last summer, I gave Jesse camilles another chance with to-go I got a J's burger with sweet potatoe fries which was ok however we had to wait extra time at pick up (30 minutes) and they made my burger wrong forgetting all the toppings ending up with a plain burger bacon cheese burger and previously charged for a specialty . I'm not one to write reviews but I was disappointed because I gave them a second chance . read more

Great menu, food, and service! They're also a great place to check out for brunch on the weekends. I love sitting outside there during the summer. And shoutout to the Irish nachos which were delicious! read more

We love Jesses. Great local place with lovely outdoor seating on their patio. Try the Parmesan truffle wings or the cabocado salad! They have great weekly specials and it's a great place for drinks and apps. I loved their mixed grill platter with turkey tips, beef tips and Italian sausage with veggies and rice. Sometimes they have brunch buffet too. They have taken the proper precautions for covid so we feel very safe getting takeout or dining there. read more

Second time here for a private party and had a really nice time. Brunch food was great, the fruit was perfectly ripe. The waiters and waitresses were very attentive. The only con was that our table was right next to the kitchen entrance so it felt a bit squished. Even though it was foggy, we still got to enjoy the view on the way out! read more
