Friends & Company Restaurant 11 Boston Post Road, Madison, CT 06443

"Stopped in here after work on a Friday. I cozied right up to the bar and Suzanne took my order. I asked her for a gin-based cocktail and told her she had creative reign. She came up with what I have now coined the “Suzanne Special”: gin, club soda, sour mix, a maraschino cherry and a splash of the cherry juice. It was so good. For my meal I had the hot-buttered lobster roll which was phenomenal. I will definitely be stopping back and visiting Suzanne at the bar again, her service and personality were great."

"Such a beautiful surprise this restaurant! We were on our way to Cape Cod from NY and we decided to stop at this restaurant for dinner. It is very well rated (so we imagined it would be good) but we couldn't expect such warm welcome, such good food and service! The outdoor sitting is very cute (with candles, flowers,etc.). The waitress and the owner always made sure we had a great experience. Food is also really good. Not just the food itself but also the way it is presented in the plates. On top of that, it's not even expensive, actually pretty cheap for what we ate. We loved this place and we will stop there again on our way back to NY! I highly recommend this restaurant!"

"During my recent visit to this restaurant, I was so pleasantly surprised at their hospitality. The manager and staff opened their restaurant 30 minutes early for our group to come in and celebrate a gathering for a colleague. They even typed up an appetizer menu that was reflective of our group population. What a lovely touch and extremely personalized! While they do not have a large amount of appetizers to order from, they did create 2 for us on that day and the drinks were consistent and of good quality. Without hesitation, I would go back to this location to partake in drinks after work."

"I can't believe it took so long to discover this place! Very cute and cozy atmosphere, I will look forward to dining out on the patio during slightly cooler weather. Customer service was good, prompt, had a slight wait to be seated. The food was absolutely fantastic. I had tuna tartar and my husband had the eggplant roasted red pepper soup and both were an amazing start to the meal. The balance of flavor in my tartar was first class. For dinner I ordered the special which was eggplant lasagna paired with grilled squash and garlic steamed spinich. It was amazing from start to finish. My husband had the fish and chips, which he was satisfied with, but was extremely jealous of my plate. We had an excellent meal here, and we will definitely be coming back to enjoy more."

"Very relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Food was great! Flavorful and well prepared and presented. Crab cake platter, and fish and chips, and chocolate mousses. Excellent wait staff."
