The quality and serving size was great - we had enough to enjoy the following day at home. It was also a nice surprise to find out our daughter's meal was free since it was Kid's Night.

Inside, the tables are simply yet tastefully decorated with candles throughout, creating a cozy atmosphere. Even the bathrooms were thoughtfully decorated and adorable and no detail was overlooked. They offer a great variety of seating options, including bar seating, high top tables, standard height tables, and window seating, so you can really choose the vibe you are going for. During the winter, they even have lit igloos outside so you can stay warm while sitting by the river, which is such a unique touch. My waitress was also tending bar, yet she remained prompt and attentive the entire time. She gave me space to look over the menu without making me feel rushed, but never disappeared long enough for me to wonder where she was. Even as it got busy, she handled everything seamlessly. The service was excellent. However, I honestly wish I could say the food lived up to the atmosphere, because the ambiance definitely sets high expectations. I ordered the short rib risotto and would probably give it a 6 out of 10. The risotto itself was fine but could have used more flavor, maybe something earthy like mushrooms to bring it together. The short rib was cooked well, but it lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. Overall, the dish did not quite come together as a cohesive plate. It was not bad by any means, it just felt like it was missing something. I also ordered the Italian Gabagool Sub with salami, capicola, mortadella, provolone, lettuce, tomato, roasted garlic, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. It had all the right components and sounded amazing on paper, but it ended up tasting fairly bland. Typically an Italian sub has bold dressings and seasoning that really make it pop, and this one just did not quite hit that mark. Honestly, the fries and pickle were probably the standout items food wise.

The atmosphere is straight up bar but we still felt comfortable with our teens with us. It would have been fine with smaller children too as the restaurant seating is away from the bar area. The beer menu was fairly comprehensive. They have their own brews and have many local CT craft brews on draft. They also have some cans and bottles if that's your thing. I didn't notice any crazy rare lambics but that's not what we were looking for. We had a few hazies and few stouts and everything was delightful. Our server Anna was a seasoned pro. She knew the menu and exactly when to come by our table to check in. We had some pulled pork nachos and there was plenty to go around. The dry rub on the wings was delicious and the wings themselves were cooked right. Overall, if you find yourself in Middletown looking for a nice beer and some decent food, this is a great choice!

Great for the warmer months when joined by a couple of friends. I am giving this a 3 stars because the last time me & my partner visited we did not get the same welcoming attitudes which we experienced in our previous visits. Another weird vibe I got was when I was ordering another round of beers for both my boyfriend and I -- my order was taken last despite standing/waiting at the bar before other patron's. I was the only woman standing there so I am not sure if this had something to do with it.... Definitely a college bar-type atmosphere. I will say the crispy brussels & spinach and artichoke dip were tasty and cooked very well.

I'm not necessarily proud of the fact that I'm writing a review for Long John Silver's but I can…read moresafely say this was probably the last time ill ever visit one. I visited this location last weekend while visiting Connecticut and ended up pulling in because I remember enjoying it when I was younger. Located pretty much inside of a Taco Bell, I went through the drive through and the employee was friendly enough. I ordered the fish and chicken combo which is served with French fries and hush puppies. The French fries were fairly standard although I do enjoy Long John Silver's fries for what they are. The chicken was alright but the fish was way too hard and required some real work just to bite through. The hush puppies were awful and were rock hard, so no good okay those. Overall, Long John Silver's is a dying chain in 2019 and overcooked food and a bland experience are part of that reason. Although the food was edible and not terrible, I don't see myself returning to this chain in the future.

Their food can be iffy, it's a lot of pub food but the current chef does mix it up a bit. Their French onion soup is fantastic. We often go just for that. Some of the apps and entrees are just unexciting bar food. On a recent trip, I enjoyed the special of the night which was a linguine with scallops and a sherry cream sauce. It was great and exactly what I needed that night. Don't be afraid to try the specials. I enjoy their seasonal salads as well. And don't forget to finish with a slice of their famous carrot cake!

The service on the covered deck was alittle slow since it was during lunch but still offered us good service. The restaurant is very clean and great place to dine.
