- MMeridithNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoGreat place to eat before Essex Steam Train. Accommodating servers (we had many children). Good food/beer. We also were able to park at the brewery and leave our car there while taking the train. It was easy to get out following the train. Highly recommend!More infoSurfridge Brewing CompanyPrice: Moderate• Pub• Centerbrook•4.8
- EEllenGreater Boston •14 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe had a family dinner of 8 on a Saturday night and everyone’s dinner was incredible. Our server was great. We have been coming to this restaurant for years through all of its changes and this might be the best ownership yet. The place looks great. The owner came to our table to make sure everything was right. Our waiter was local and reminisced with us. Highly recommend this restaurant on all levels but mainly because the food was just so good!More infoThe Brushmill by the WaterfallPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Chester•4.5
