Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Middletown

We went for the Thanksgiving Day dinner. It was delicious, outstanding in every way…..fresh ingredients prepared perfectly! This was our first visit, but it definitely won’t be our last. Bravo!

New family tradition at coopershawk. Had 1:15 reservation. Got seated at 2. There seemed to be a break, so learned that next year may make a 2:00 reservation. Seemed to be a gap between lunch and dinner! S tarted to get crowded again around 3:45. Thanks for a great lunch/dinner! Will definitely be back! Loved our visit! Happy Thanksgiving!

We happened upon Jags by pure happenstance tonight, the night before Thanksgiving, while traveling to family for the holiday. We were stuck in traffic on 75N and decided we didn’t have it in us to make it all the way to Fort Wayne. 11 hours for a normal 6.5 hour trip is just ridiculous. We booked the Staybridge and I booked a bar reservation at Jags thanks to reviews here, not even realizing it was in the same parking lot! What a fortunate surprise! From walking in the door, to our experience with Dan and his colleague, a lovely gal with rooster earrings, but I can’t recall her name for the life of me, everything was absolutely phenomenal!! The crab bisque, filet and crab cake, the sides, the CARROT CAKE! The espresso martini the Weller CYPB…all of it top notch! Don’t even hesitate or question it. Just go!

Great food and wonderful server! It is very loud and can be over stimulating. My dad has hearing aids and was struggling. It was his birthday and I wanted him to have the delicious fried chicken. The server treated him totally and even brought a wrapped chocolate cookie to take home!

Our first visit to Shire’s did not disappoint! Beautiful restaurant with great views! Katrina took very good care of our party of six. Chef does an excellent job creating unique flavor profiles. Tried the fried green tomato, beef Wellington and mussels appetizers. All were perfectly prepared and delicious! Our entrees included the pork chop, salmon, shrimp & scallops, and chicken roulade. Again all dishes were delicious!! The only negative was the chicken was a little dry and could have used a sauce to help with that; but the pea risotto that accompanied it was very tasty. The pear mocktail was lovely too!! Perfect place for special occasion dinner!!!
