   Excellent choices and seated before reservation time on a busy Saturday night. Food and drink very well proportioned. Surprisingly it took longer for the waitress to pick up the check / credit card than it did to get the meal served ! Food was excellent

   Wait staff was fine. Food took forever to come out; salmon over-cooked. "Risotto" just regular rice and cold. Very disappointing.

   We sat outside on a beautiful evening and enjoyed a fantastic meal. The East coast and Blue Point oysters were so fresh! Surf and Turf special and Fish & Chips were delicious. Can't wait to go back!!

    Late Lunch… good for the start time for happy hour to enjoy some apps and drinks. Server attentive about service timing. Open face prime rib with truffle fries is a good one to enjoy if you like cheese and beef flavors. Two pieces for the lunch fish and chips. SmAll container of tartar sauce and their version of homemade coleslaw come with it. Eat outside on the patio to get some sun. We were served a Container of water when seated as it is hot in the sun.

    Everything was delicious. We had Blue Point Oysters and Escargot for appetizers. Both delightful! We all had seafood entrees ..fresh and served hot. Scallops over artichoke risotto and sun-dried tomatoes was quite tasty. The other diners in our group had the Sea Bass, Salmon, and Cod. All were happy with their meals. Good service. The patio was nice and quiet and we had such a nice time. We will be back!

    Excellent food and service but the noise level is unbearable. I’m not sure of protocol but when there are patrons who are screaming and hollering and disturbing other diners I believe management should respectfully remind them they are not alone.

    My wife and I went Saturday night for our anniversary. We had reservations for 6:30 and we were seated right away. Our waitress Samantha came right over read the specials and asked us if we wanted a beverage. We each ordered the smoked bourbon Manhattan. Very tasty! Next we ordered the trio of roasted oysters which were delicious. We also ordered the seafood bisque which was good not great. We wish there was bigger pieces of seafood but overall tasty bisque. We also ordered the grilled polenta I read so much about how it was the best. We wish it was a little crispier but the taste was very good. For entree we split the 18 oz bonein ribeye which was so good. Cooked perfect medium rare. We took a piece of the key lime pie home for our son which he said was very good. Overall very good experience and we are sure to be back in the future.

    First time there as Founders Pub. Used to frequent when it was Rainbow Garden. Family celebrated my Grandmother’s 97th birthday for lunch. Everyone loved the ambience, server and food. My grandmother’s treat is always a good Fish & Chips. She will let you know if she does not like it. She really liked it. May not be the best of CT, yet very good, not greasy or overly breaded. My daughter recently had a bad experience with Scallop Risotto at Village Bistro so she ordered it again here. What a difference. This one was fresh, scallops had a great flavoring and cooked right. Risotto was creamy. My cousin had the Filet of Sole which was tender and she said she truly enjoyed it. But the star of the lunch was the carrot cake. I am not a fan of carrot cake yet this one was moist, not overly sweet and so tasty. Such a great experience that everyone in my party said they will go there again, even my 97yr old grand-mother.

    Pre Easter dinner with the family (including 2 picky kids). We had steak, Mac and cheese (the best!) and the roast chicken. My 2 extremely dessert oriented children were too full to order anything else! Server was lovely and our overall experience was great!

    Fair restaurant. The front end was having issues with seating/waitstaff assignments based on what I heard and the person handling it was extremely stressed and did not have the cool to handle what was coming at her. I ordered the seafood bisque. A lot of bits of seafood and fairly tasty--just needed a bit of salt. We received two rolls at the table which were stale. We both ordered the burger. They don't seem to be a handmade patty. I ordered mine rare but as thin as it is, they really can't get them rare. So mine was over cooked. Still tasty with the bacon jam and cheese--I have had better bacon jam, this was very sweet and didn't put much other flavor forward. I had mine on a plate with the side salad. My friend had hers on a bun with fries. We both ordered dessert. She had the banana's foster cake which she said was soooo good. I ordered the white coconut cream pie. It was not good. The pie was really a dense cake with stabilized cream on top. I also brought home a piece of key lime pie to my spouse. It was inedible. I wouldn't order dessert again for sure. I'm on the fence if I'd go back. The menu sounds so good but the overall experience was really lacking. Our server was very nice.
