BEST RESTAURANT IN CT! Hands down! Wow our first time here, AMAZING food, owner was fantastic, the best service you can get, the atmosphere was very cozy & absolutely beautiful, the view of the river put back was so relaxing & gorgeous being fall. Literally cannot say enough good about this restaurant. We are big foodies and no restaurant is better, we travel the country eating and he definitely has a fantastic place. Bring my sister(US Marine 23 yrs) back with us in a few weeks. Drinks, appetizers, main courses & dessert were 5*!!! Keep up the good work, THANK YOU to the owner! We will definitely be back many times.

Went here today for lunch, for the first time with some friends. The atmosphere was so beautiful and had a cozy feel to it, while still feeling bright and open with their nice windows looking out to the water. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS! Everything tasted so fresh and was cooked perfectly! The chef came out to greet us, and he was so knowledgeable and very kind! I left feeling just the right amount of full. Also, the drinks were probably the best drinks I’ve ever had, so fresh and just made very well. I highly recommended Good Eats!

We always drive by Good Eats and say we need to try that place, well tonight was finally the night. We walked into the restaurant with our three kids in tow and were immediately greeted. We were seated almost instantly and the staff was so sweet and kind. Walking into any place with three small children can be enough to scare anyone but this restaurant was not phased at all. They quickly grabbed a high chair for my one year old. Crayons and activity sheets for my two older boys.
First, I just want to say how beautiful the restaurant is and how much I loved the atmosphere. We sat in the back room where there is a stone fireplace, exposed wood beams on the ceilings, rustic chandeliers. Very rustic chic!! Even the bathrooms were beautifully decorated. My husband even snapped a picture of the candle so I can order some for home. Lol
Now let’s talk about the food and drinks! My husband had the Litchfield Pop, Green Hornet, and Espresso Martini. I had a mocktail, Citrus Oasis. I’m not a drinker so this was perfect for me. The right amount of sour, a real palette cleanser. My husband said all of his drinks were great but the Green Hornet was his favorite. The food was excellent!! We had the grilled shrimp for an appetizer and I am so bummed I didn’t get a picture when it arrived. I only took a pic after we were almost done. The shrimp are HUGE and were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Our entrees were out of this world. My husband had the roast chicken, I had the bucatini pasta with chicken; my boys had the mac and cheese and the grilled chicken with french fries. This was the best dinner we’ve had out in a very long time! It was fresh and delicious. Dessert was even better! I had the sticky toffee pudding and holy cow! The taste was unreal. The flavors of toffee and caramel and some vanilla gelato, absolutely delicious!! My husband had the lemon posset, it was like a lemon custard with a raspberry topping. I tried it and it was so good and I don’t even like raspberries. The boys had vanilla and chocolate gelato. The chocolate was a big hit because it had chunks of chocolate throughout.
I’ve already mentioned how great the atmosphere and the food was but the service was even better!!!! Our waitress was amazing. I believe her name is Saoirse. She checked in on our table quite often even with the back room fully packed. She was such a delight and provided great recommendations when we asked about dessert. We loved everything about Good Eats, we will definitely be back and I highly recommend it.

Absolutely phenomenal place! You would never expect it driving by, but the moment we walked in, we were greeted by such a friendly host. Extremely polite and accommodating. Every bite of food was an explosion of flavors in my mouth. Beautiful presentation and the flavor creations of each entree were out of this world! Out of the 4 dishes we had, plus mocktail and cocktail, there was not one hiccup. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable. Perfection! Food network will be knocking on their door…

My first experience here for my birthday was lovely. I tried muscles for the first time, their dish was delicious with the coconut curry sauce. I also tried the braised short rib dish on a bed of risotto which was also delicious. I will say that I am someone that doesn’t normally finish their plates, but I ate and enjoyed every last bite!
I enjoyed it so much I went a second time a week later with my father, and we both enjoyed our food the second time as well- I especially love that they change the menu up frequently, not many places experiment which is also a plus for those wanting to try something new each time.

One of the best dinners we’ve had in a long time! Cozy and Warm atmosphere and staff. The owner Edward was extra accommodating and welcoming. From the wine to sticky toffee pudding Everything was delicious. And we were expecting a much larger check for that level of service and dinner! Outstanding and we will be back soon! If there was a way to give even more than 5 stars – we would !

Time and time again we get blown away by the food and drinks here. The owners, chef, bartender and staff are just lovely and make you feel so at home. This is an upscale establishment with a chef that takes the time and passion to prepare amazing dishes day in and day out. Try the Street Fries, Mussels, Brussels Sprouts, Roast Chicken, the Burger. Good Eats = good friends!

Absolutely amazing food, both taste and presentation are exquisite, no matter what you order! On this occasion I had the specials, mushroom soup and seared rainbow trout with bok choy grilled scallions and potato. Hat’s off to the chef!Nice atmosphere, they adjust the music volume based on the volume in the dining room so you don’t have to shout over the music to have a conversation. Little things like that make a huge difference to the experience. It does get a little echoey when the dining room is full and everyone is talking, but that’s not a restaurant issue that’s a building construction issue. The service was also perfect, checking in enough times to make sure we didn’t need anything but not too many times to interrupt our dinner. It is now our go to special occasion restaurant.

What a find! We were in Connecticut for the Elephant Flea… from the outside you knew it was going to be good, modern exterior and manicured foliage. As soon as we entered we were greeted with a smile. A table by the window was perfect overlooking the water. The food didn’t disappoint- shaskshuka and the mushroom fritada – visually appealing with micro herbs, piping hot and absolutely delicious.
Fantastic!!

My wife and I visit Edward, Brian, and the staff frequently. Good Eats is our go-to restaurant, and the experience is fantastic every time. The chef has incredible talent, the ingredients are high quality, and the presentation is impeccable. It is a hidden gem that deserves recognition for its warm and welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and the chef’s innovative culinary creations. If you’re looking for a restaurant that delivers both in terms of taste and ambiance, look no further than Good Eats.
