Restaurants near Lilly Preserve

Food was excellent and on point. Not much of a crowd this evening so was shocked at slow service. Our waitperson could only seem to do one thing at a time and not very attentive. Long wait for drink refills and even check. Again not a busy night. It’d be nice if it was a little dimmer in there but again food excellent!

Have not been here in awhile. Food was excellent. It was the busiest I have ever seen it and yet the service and our server Ted did an awesome job. Just know when it's busy it is very loud but not unexpected when they are packed. Will certainly be back.

This beautiful and peaceful inn has the most amazing food . The entire place is made for you to be able to sit and relax and talk with your people. Always a treat to come here and eat :) the service is always perfect !

We had heard of a new restaurant in Shelton, CT called Mercato, but couldn't get in - so we decided to try the Southbury location. The menu had something for everyone, but we especially enjoyed the Wood Fired Olives to start. Whipped Ricotta was also very good, but I believe I'd like the fig jam on the side rather than on top of the ricotta (it was very good, but I think I would have liked to control the amount of jam personally). Our waitress was very attentive, drinks and meals served promptly and more importantly, the dinners were piping hot and very fresh. Cacio E Pepe with bucatini was amazing, just the right amount of creaminess and pepper and the Fettuccini Carbonara also an excellent choice. Desserts were heavenly (cannoli super fresh), cappuccino and espresso strong and hot! Overall and excellent happy accident and we will definitely be back - and hope to try the amazing looking pizzas!

Perfect cozy spot in the winter. Fire up the fireplaces!
