"Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3 I recently dined at this restaurant for dinner and had a pleasant experience overall. The food was quite good, earning a solid 4 out of 5 for its quality and flavor. The service was also impressive, with attentive staff who ensured our needs were met throughout the evening, deserving another 4 rating. However, the atmosphere was a bit lacking, as it felt somewhat average and didn’t quite elevate the dining experience, which is why I gave it a 3. Overall, it was a satisfying meal worth trying, especially for the reasonable price range."

"Oh my goodness, what a wonderful place to come across! Saw the sign from the road, turned into the shopping center so glad we did! They have a nice selection of items, though we decided on a slice of cake each with coffee! At $4 per slice of cake (hubby chose a Lemon Diplomat lemon cheesecake, and my mom and I chose a Belgian chocolate mousse cake and $2.75 for regular coffee, this was really a fantastic afternoon coffee/cake adventure. Looking around, other folks were having colorful salads and quiches…some with specialty coffees and teas. Super yummy cakes, and friendly staff we asked if the cakes were made on site (an enthusiastic yes and inquired how they cut them so clearly (the fellow even came back to our table with the pastry tool to show us! !"

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Junction restaurant, located within the exquisite Essex resort, and I can confidently say that it was an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment we were seated at the chef's table, we were treated to a culinary journey that left us in awe. Let's start with the food. The pickled peach burrata was an absolute revelation. The combination of creamy burrata cheese with the tangy and slightly sweet pickled peaches created a flavor profile that danced on the palate. The contrasting textures of the smooth cheese and the juicy peaches were a delightful surprise, and each bite was a burst of summery flavors. It was a unique and inventive dish that showcased the chef's creativity and expertise. In addition to the pickled peach burrata, the clam chowder and tomahawk steak were equally outstanding. The clam chowder boasted a rich and creamy consistency that was perfectly balanced with the freshness of the clams. It was a comforting and satisfying start to the meal. As for the tomahawk steak, it was a true masterpiece. Cooked to absolute perfection, the meat was succulent, tender, and full of flavor. The chef's skill in seasoning and grilling the steak was evident in every bite. Accompanied by a delectable sauce and served with precision, it was a carnivore's dream come true. However, it wasn't just the remarkable food that impressed us. The service at the Junction restaurant was second to none. The chef and the entire staff were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about their craft.

The service staff, too, were outstanding. Attentive, friendly, and always ready with a smile, they made us feel like VIPs throughout the evening. They were well-versed in the menu, offered insightful recommendations, and ensured that our glasses were never empty. The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant and sophisticated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The attention to detail in the decor and the overall ambiance added to the overall dining experience. Overall, the Junction restaurant at the Essex resort deserves every single one of its five stars.

"We stumbled upon the Black Flannel Brewing Restaurant after going to see a movie. Many people were sitting outside, so we decided to dine there. Hubby got a smash burger and wished he'd doubled up on the burger. He was quite pleased with it and super happy he'd chosen to add bacon as it was really great tasting. He also got a non alcoholic drink which was yummy and only $5. I chose the confit duck legs with waffles and bacon maple syrup. So good. I'd have chosen the syrup on the side next time as it was drenched. But oh so good!!! Highly recommend. Had half for dinner and finished it the next day. Every bite was mmmmm. We bought two donuts to take home. Packaged beautifully, but they were not good. We got a passionfruit one that the taste was wonderful and it came with a real flower on it so pretty. But eating it was not great. It was so heavy it wasn't worth it. The frosting was yummy, but I can't recommend this. The 4 stars is because of the donuts. Our server, Aubrie, was wonderful. So helpful and sincere and cool. She didn't hover but was there when we needed her."

"So glad this place reopened, with a scratch kitchen nonetheless! It maintains a classic American diner vibe while providing superior quality food. I got the full english breakfast (a rarity on menus around here) and thoroughly enjoyed it. The sausage and ham was spectacular, the beans were very good, the english muffin was very good, but i found the tomatoes and mushrooms to be lacking. Service was slow but they were very busy and also short-staffed. Cant recommend this place enough!"
