21 Lake Restaurant And Bar - Danbury

Excellent all around, highly recommended for anyone who prepares good food well and presents simply.

Our server was very friendly, and I enjoyed sitting outside. the 21 dry wings were delicious. but none of the food seemed fresh. all reheated. in consideration of the price it should be fresh. the chicken sandwich was unusable. Kettle chips were stale.

We tried on Thursday night, and it was so good that we wanted to dive on Friday! the menu and the specialties of the new chef jamar were exceptional. I had a special crispy cod over lenses with carrot mash and the presentation and taste were perfect. my children had a burger and crispy chicken sandwich, which my son called a crack. burger was perfectly cooked chips were made home and addicted. we will definitely come back!

I will not return to this restaurant. the service was terrible. After we had set ourselves, we waited at least 15 minutes before we had to find a server to take a drink order. she disappeared and came back more than 15 minutes later. we had to look again to give our food order to another server this time. No one has cleaned our tellers between the curses or asked to fill our drinks. we had to find someone again. eating was at best mediocre. overall a very bad experience.

The best thing was the champagne since I bought a bottle. They had butter already sitting out on the table with no cover before we got there.. which is already a bad thing! I ordered the calamari, which was decent. My bf ordered the teriyaki wings, they were too salty and came out cold! It was so bad. For entrees, my bf ordered the planked salmon which came out on a bed of old dried rice, with Lima beans that you can get from the freezer section, the salmon was too sweet, had no flavor and was super over cooked and dried, chewy, disgusting over all. I ordered the 21 mixed grill, everything on there was overcooked or left out for too long. The pork belly looked like it has been sitting for some time. The prawns were sooooo overcooked and dry the shells were stuck to it, the steak was terrible! It was overcooked, when I didn’t ask for it to be well done! I just can’t believe they serve people this food! We barely even touched our plates, we looked at it and can already tell how bad it was going to be. The manager tried to only give us half off of our entrees at first when the bill came, then I told him it’s unacceptable and the food on our plate were literally 99% still there! We could not eat it! Please save yourself the money and time and go somewhere else! We waited forever for our food to not even eat it for vday dinner. Our waitress was sweet but you could tell she didn’t know what she was doing, or how to speak to customers. I don’t know if she was nervous or it was her first day working. But overall I just could not enjoy it! I’m very big on hospitality and good service! I never ever feel the need to write these reviews but this was one of the worst.
