Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Newington

We had an extremely nice lunch—one very nice cheeseburger and one turkey dinner, with NE clam chowder and desert. Brett was an outstanding server, and his colleagues, like Kevin, pitched in. Will definitely return again.

We had a delicious brunch at The Library. The service was excellent and we never felt rushed. Great selection of brunch options!

The manager is amazing! Staff is very tentative. Love it!

Food is as as usual expertly prepared On our visit so-called mission figs appetizer were not indeed mission figs (they’re black; this one was brown) and frankly a little stingy. There were four quarters of a tiny brown fig spread across a bed of about 10 arugula leaves, two large sugar encrusted walnut chunks and 3 large lumps of ricotta. Really. Just 1 fig cut into quarters. Not sure what the problem was, but if the kitchen stock was low, why not just take them off the menu until availability improved. Anyway, just a disappointment We had an early reservation since the noise level here can be problematic. Nevertheless the waitress seemed too tired to be at work that late afternoon. Normally we have great experiences here.

food and service were perfect. tiffany, our wait staff, was gracious, friendly, and attentive. it was a bit chilly in the dining area as well as a bit loud. we have been to the pond house a number of times and it is consistent in the quality of the food and experience. we will not hesitate to return. thanks for a lovely day.
