Best Casual Restaurants in Branford

We 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!

Great 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.

Table was ready right on time. Staff was friendly and helpful answering questions about menu. They were accommodating of our young family member, bringing a few gelato samples before we ordered dessert. Overall, was a great family night for a special occasion.

Had a great dinner! Our waiter Chris was amazing and all of the food and service was very good.

Very pleasant surprise. Food quality was excellent and service prompt.
