- RRobinColumbus •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWe sat at the bar early on Christmas Eve. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We chose from the Primetime Prix Fixe menu: the shrimp cocktail had perfectly iced shrimp wit lovely cocktail sauce; the filet was expertly seasoned and cooked just right and the New York style cheesecake was delicious with lots of whipped cream and freeze dried raspberries (a very nice touch) And I’d be remiss if I didn’t say how good the cocktails were: the smoky Old Fashioned reminded me of sitting in front of a roaring fire and tasted great while my partner thoroughly enjoyed the Bananarama, which tasted like a cold version of “hot buttered rum”. It was a delightful evening and we will be returning soon! I forgot to mention the popovers that came before our meal started—they were outrageously good!More infoSaltbrick PrimePrice: Expensive• American• Branford•4.4
- CClaudiaConnecticut •19 reviews4.0Dined 5 days agoGreat place for American comfort food for carnivores and vegans. Lots of menu options. Service was a bit slow given the restaurant wasn’t that busy. Ambiance was overall fine except music was a little too loud where we were seated.More infoHOMEPrice: Moderate • American• Branford•4.7
- GGregoryNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoLittle Riggs has easily become our favorite restaurant in CT. We initially tried Riggs for breakfast bc we heard about their muffins. Weekly you are surprised with a new muffin flavor and they are perfect. For breakfast, I went with the sunny side grits…..without a doubt the BEST grits I’ve ever eaten. Wifey loved her eggs benny. Then we returned for with friends which was extraordinary. From steak frites, short rib, beautiful beet salad, shrimp & grits. Menu items charge based on seasons and freshness. There are many other options that have sent our pallets over the moon. From small bites to meals…. There’s something for everyone. Their drink selection is rather admirable and delicious. The entire staff honestly make you feel so welcome and ready to give you taste buds an experience. Make sure you save room for dessert.More infoLittle RiggsPrice: Moderate• American• Branford•4.9
