Restaurants near Branford Center Historic District

First time trying out this fairly new steak house in our own town. Very nice decor and enough room between tables to give it an air of privacy. Our waiter, Carol, was very friendly and informative. The menu is a bit pricey but worth every penny. This was a date night for a married couple, and we will be back.

The service is exceptional; the food on burger night was wonderful; the bartender and server, Anthony, suggested a bottle of wine that was outstanding. Even more important was that Anthony remembered the drinks we had last time and that we liked Spanish wine. What a restaurant should be and we are fortunate to have it near us!!!!!

We sat at the bar and had a great time. Peyton, the bartender was lovely and attentive. Mike, the manager, has a friendly and gentle manner. We noticed that Essex has a bunch of regulars which speaks to the steady quality of their culinary fare. We enjoyed happy hour as well as our entrees - we ate moules e frite, and truffle risotto. We capped off our meal with a creme brûlée which was excellent.

Had an amazing experience. Food was top tier and service was exceptional. From the moment we sat down to the moment we got up wait staff was attentive and friendly and each dish from appetizers to dessert were made with care and attention to detail to where they were both visually appealing and tasted great. 10/10 would recommend

Went to Home last night for the first time and loved it. The front of the restaurant has a cozy bar with a fireplace and a room setup similar to a living room area. I had the signature home burger which was delicious and a spicy margarita made just perfect. Will definitely be going back.
