Best Seasonal Restaurants in Newtown

Overall we had a great time. They were able to accommodate our party of 7 pretty easily. The gnocchi, roasted chicken, filet, mushroom flatbread, and stuffed mushrooms were all good. Cocktails were good. The lobster tail was just ok. Very chewy. But hey, we didn’t expect it to be phenomenal. Only real issue was it took forever to get drinks and food. The server tried her hardest but kitchen and bar seemed to be backed up and it was just very slow. She did apologize. Not her fault. We still had a nice time!

We absolutely loved our meal at Alara. We had the focaccia with a salad and then the pasta with the lobster and the other one was the pasta with the shrimp. They were both excellently prepared. The service was very good and very attentive I’ve been there before, but we will definitely go back again .

Great food. Great service. We will keep going back.

Celebrated Christmas Eve with my family. The atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. Our server Alec was friendly and did an excellent job. The food was excellent as it always is at the Precinct. I had the boneless ribeye, my wife a filet with bearnaise sauce, and my daughters had the salmon. Everyone was happy with their choices and we had a wonderful evening. Looking forward to the next time we have an opportunity to go to a Jeff Ruby restaurant.

Great experience per norm heightened by Christmas holiday spirit evident throughout restaurant
