This place was packed on a Tuesday night when we were there for dinner. There was a 15-20 mins wait but we were able to find seats at the bar. Service was quick there.
It is quite noisy inside so that makes talking a bit challenging unless the person is sitting next to you. The place died down a bit after 8pm.
We ordered the flash fried Brussels sprouts, German meatballs, and the smoked haddock cakes. Food was pretty good! They also have a big beer selection.

We were in from out of town and stopped by for lunch. They were offering their Oktoberfest menu. The food was really excellent. My German husband was in heaven – everything was topnotch! We loved that they used high quality, fresh ingredients. The owner was a total delight and the wait staff were great. We’ll definitely go back the next time we’re in town.

Insane food always! What a way to finish off a meal with an ice cream sandwich that changes daily. Service at the bar is always top notched. From daily specials to an ever changing beer list . Who wouldn’t want to make this a weekly stop. Parking is great .

What a wonderful hidden gem we found! I contemplated not leaving a review because when everyone finds out how great this establishment is, that doesn’t already know, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find a seat to dine in!
The whole entire staff works in unison along with the owner to deliver you the most unbelievable dining experience. We have tried a good number of items on the menu including daily specials, they are all cooked to literal perfection! The menu items that we have tried more than once are prepared and presented exactly the same way each time consistently. Much care and attention to detail is given to provide such a wonderful experience!
Prices are reasonable in my opinion you get much more than you pay for!
This is our new “go to” place, please save us a seat as we will be anything but “regular” return patrons!

This is widely regarded as one of the best restaurants in the area. I’m from Colchester and had heard from multiple friends and acquaintances about Celtic Cavern. I have tried three previous times to eat here but it was just TOO busy. That is for good reason. Today on my fourth visit I was able to sit at the bar and enjoy a quiet dinner alone. I decided on the sherry butter prime ny strip. I did not make a mistake. The sherry introduces a subtle tart on the front of the tongue that rolls backward into the creaminess of the butter. The finish of the beef was juicy, earthy and presented a smoky char. One of the best steaks I’ve ever had without question. I think J Gilbert’s prime ribeye is my favorite in CT but this is a close second and it was a bit more affordable. If you’re planning a visit be sure to make a reservation if possible or else you would expect to wait. I’d certainly eat here again but during the week at lunchtime or for an early dinner. Cheers!

We are among the regulars who are on first name basis with the manager, chef and many of the servers. Everyday menu (some variations by day of the week) food is excellent and priced reasonably. Good selection of craft beers. Specials on St. Patrick / October Fest. Average spend $40-$50 before TIPS per person including drinks, shared appetizers, entree, dessert and coffee.

The food matches the service, would give 6 stars if I could. Also – the only and best restaurant thats always open late and the chef who probably hates being open that late still puts out daily specials!
