Such a nice restaurant. Loved my meal but they didn’t have as many pasta options as I expected (I was really craving cacio a pepe, carbonara or Alfredo) but I went with eggplant parm. No music on outdoor patio with the view of the pond so I found it too quiet and you could hear other people’s conversations. This was a Saturday night. Waitress was lovely, prices are reasonable for a good portion. The wine glasses are bulky and heavy. String lights on the patio would be cute too. Other than that, I would 100% go back!

This is our third year having our company Christmas party here. The food is always delicious and great service! Our server Eleni (2) is awesome and was always right in top of drink refills, dropped silverware or any need we had. The owner, George, was checking in with us to make sure that everything was going great! I worked with Eleni (1) to put this party together and she was just as nice! I highly recommend having dinner here or your own party! The place was decorated for the holidays and was beautiful!!!

I've been to this establishment for many years now. My husband and I went to Suffield Country Club when Sam had the restaurant there. We followed him through his grand opening right through covid. The atmosphere can be ever how you want it. Outside, viewing the pond or listening to the bands that play there. Inside if you're feeling like you just want to be cozy. There are two bar areas. I prefer the bar that's in the main dining area.

I just love the Contemporary design of this restaurant and it's it's on the waterfront. I'm very confused about the low ratings for this wonderful restaurant. We had wonderful service. Our waitress Jakeea was just a be light and she handled everything fast and courteous. I did encounter a problem with the main dish that I ordered I ordered the surf and turf which includes a strip steak but clearly it was a sirloin they handled it and made everything satisfactory I get that we're humans and sometimes we mix up things. I ordered an appetizer from their specials menu artichokes Francaise. I have to admit that it was my first time trying artichokes Francaise but since at a different restaurant I ordered a fried cheese from say and it was a delight I had to try it with artichokes. It did not disappoint!!! Also tried their in-house made cream of mushroom soup made with fresh portobello mushrooms and a nice creamy base. I also had the surf and turf which featured a New York strip. And two shrimp with their in-house made seafood stuffing. It's okay with the baked potato and vegetable mix on the side. We also ordered for dessert a death by chocolate cake which I think they called chocolate mousse. I can't wait to actually go outside when it's a beautiful day out and eat on their patio overlooking the Waterfront.

Great time on Mother's Day. There was plenty of food, neat and clean buffet style. The only thing I wish there were more options or even a pasta dish. Great atmosphere. The staff was amazing and the older gentleman who came to each table to greet everyone was so heartwarming . The decor is a little dated, but the outside space was simple and beautiful.

We ordered a margarita flatbread to start, a Hugo Spritz, and meals. Chicken, Bacon, Ranch wrap, and the chicken parmigiana. Food was great, sitting outside on a nice day is amazing! The dinner special is a great alternative if you want a bottle of wine, appetizers and meals for 2!

This was a business trip dinner with my buddy and we wanted something that wasn't a handheld and he was trying to avoid pasta, neither of us was disappointed. A nice table looking out on the water watching the ducks, we had nice and efficient service. I had chicken marsala and he had a veal dish and we both got a salad, we had enough to take some back and save it for another night at the hotel. It was a nice change.

Simply wonderful... the seating by the waterside fountain was gorgeous, the service was very welcoming, the food was absolutely fantastic! The stuffed seafood mushrooms on weekly specialties, the buffalo chicken soup so delicious! Served with soft warm bread and oil. The lemon drop martini was also very refreshing. I will definitely be returning. Thank you friendly staff and Chef.
