    What a wonderful restaurant! I was so excited to see tripe in tomato sauce and farinata on the menu, as I love both dishes. The tripe was absolutely delicious, and the focaccia served with it was the perfect accompaniment. The farinata, however, wasn’t quite what I remembered or was hoping for, so I probably wouldn’t order it again. My daughter had the chicken fricassee, which she absolutely loved! Overall, the food is excellent, and we will definitely continue coming back. One word of advice: make your reservations well in advance! This restaurant is very popular, and for good reason!

    The service is outstanding and the food is always delicious! There are many options to choose from and none will disappoint. Martini's made by Kendall were perfect! She knows her stuff and makes excellent drinks! Servers like Bob who has been at the Shadowbrook for years will provide details on the excellent food options. He along with the rest of the staff are friendly, welcoming and knowledgable. Aside from experiencing a ride in the trolly to the restaurant take a walk around the"beautiful" gardens nestled along a serene river. I highly recommend an unforgettable visit to the Shadowbrook!!

    Wonderful! We had the wedge salad, 1/2 dozen oysters as appetizers both were great. Oysters were small but flavorful. Then we had the Venus burger and the Miso glazed salmon. Burger was cooked to perfection - medium rare - and the salmon was great as well. The miso sauce was more a ketjap manis sauce (sweet soy sauce) instead of miso, but it was still great. We had the rosé and 2 cocktails - one gin cocktail and the new mezcal cocktail. Both weee really enjoyable. We were seated in on of their booth’ - Overall a great experience. We will be back! Love their gin - bought a bottle of it!
