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.

Best meal I’ve had in a while! The duck breast was cooked perfectly and its flavours were very well balanced by the bok choy and potato gnocchi. The scallops with cheddar grits was a creative take on a southern classic and was also excellent. Dessert did not disappoint either—we got the ginger semifreddo and the matcha mousse. Thank you for such an amazing meal!

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!

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 !

Delicious food, the honey butter with pita is to die for. The crushed cucumber side is moreish. We went for lunch, decor is a bit more evening scene but very nice and clean. Will definitely go again.

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!!

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.

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...
