We cut all of our cake to serve to our guests and our one year is coming up and Kelli is making us a cake for our anniversary out of pure kindness!! She is the sweetest human being and her and her staff are absolutely amazing! I didn't have to worry about anything on my wedding day, they set up all of my tables for me, filled water carafes, made delicious food, and made sure that me and my husbands glasses were never empty and we had anything and everything we could ever want!! I highly recommend Kelli's Kitchen!!

I got married a few weeks ago on 8/20/21 at the Branford House in Groton CT, and Emily's catering…read moremade our event absolutely incredible. My family has used Emily's quite a few times now for big events... The first being my high school graduation party, as well as my dad's 50th Surprise party. When it came to finding a caterer for my wedding, there was no one else that came close to the quality / value / attention to detail that Emily's Catering provides. Food is a big deal for my large Italian / Irish family, so we wanted to go "all out" and Emily's made it possible. My husband and I were able to pick up to 8 different Hors d'oeuvres to be passed out during the cocktail hour (most places only allow you to pick 2-3). The appetizers were not only delicious, but also extremely unique and fun! Some of the apps even came with a mini cocktail pairing! For example, the quesadilla app came with a mini don julio margarita! How fun is that?! My guests are still raving about the cocktail hour. We did a plated dinner with four different options, Chicken, Steak, Red Snapper or Portobello Mushroom (Vegetarian). Again, most places seem to limit you to only three options. We just kept getting more bang for our buck!! The portions were extremely generous and the flavors were to die for. We also had a late night pizza station, as well as ice cream bar / coffee station. I swear, my guests were just STUNNED by the fantastic variety. Emily's Catering surpassed our expectations. Essentially, my family and I were able to have a "baller" wedding for a reasonable price. The investment was well worth every penny and my husband and I could not be happier. Rick and Cheryl are highly professional individuals and a joy to work with. They made the stressful wedding process easy and we experienced top notch customer service the entire time. We will be using Emily for ALL of our important events in the future. If you are debating hiring Emily's for your next event, do it! You will NOT regret it.

I definitely recommend Emily's for your next event.

Drove an additional 15 miles to go and visit Stew Leonard's…read more I preface this review by saying I've seen the owner of Stew Leonard's on the morning news in the past. Particularly during the holidays, where he is talking about how to prepare your holiday meals. Second, my friend from New Jersey is probably the Duchess of Stew Leonard's and I had to see what this was all about. Here is my story It's like going to a Trader Joe's if you're on the West Coast, BuCees if you're on Central and southeast part of the country or I don't know I suppose a typical local giant supermarket. Here are my observations. They accommodate the local people they have so many things you can do with your children. If you're shopping in the store, they have mascots and different games you can play. The store is clean and organize organized There are many local products, they support the local community Would I go back? Probably if I lived closer, I would love to buy their vegetables which was very neatly displayed and priced. They were busy! That says something right?

It's Lobsta Season in New England…read more Stew Leonard's had such an incredible deal. $15.99 Full of meat and claws on a buttered roll. Kinda gummy underneath the meat. Definitely made it work once I threw the roll away. Service was great! Fast turn over to receive my order. Packaged appealing to the eye. Outside setting with picnic tables to enjoy. They also had other options like Burgers, and Hotdogs. Wonderful way to end my grocery shopping day

Wow!!!!! Who'd of thunk that the pizza would be so amazing from a deli in the middle of nowhere…read more Suzanna from Newtown turned me onto this place. Finally made it here today 10.21.20 The prices are reasonable. The place is very clean. They have the hand sanitizer out for your use. Masks are enforced. The staff was so nice. I think i met the owner John i believe. Or one of the owners. Think he said he's a butcher by trade. They had a nice small showcase of meats that they'll cut to order for you. They have specials Thursday Friday Saturday evenings. Deli sandwiches & grinders. Much to choose from. Getting back to the pizza. Ordered a tomato pie with bacon & garlic. It was good but I also want sauce on my pizzas. Only tomatoes bacon cheese and garlic on this one. The clear winner by a landslide is their sausage & cheese pizza. Perfectly cooked.

So many of our guests commented on how friendly the servers and bar tenders were. David was fantastic to work with.

Today was my first dining experience at Cantina Cafe in Middletown. Never knew of this restaurant…read moreup Until this weekend! Such a cute place! Felt like you were dining at your Italian families. It's in the basement and loved how it was decorated! When you see the Sopranos.. you already know! We had a family party , therefore it was a family style dinner, ( hard to get pictures). But, many dishes were ordered and passed such as Salad, fresh bread, Antipasto, pasta, calamari, Broccoli Rabe, eggplant parm, Chicken Parm, fish, potatoes! I might be missing something! But service was great , portions were huge. Everyone appeared to have been satisfied with their food. There's really no gluten free options labeled on the menu but they do have gluten pasta, and other options they can suggest as such as fish or chicken. I ordered a separate the Gemelli Cantina GF pasta dish (Chicken, spinach, sautéed with fresh garlic and olive oil). Very tasty! And all portions were huge! Restaurant does have a small lot in the back but fills up fast. Street parking or the public lot is the closest.
