Went here for my dads birthday. My parents have been here for other events and said it was pretty good and a well known establishment, so we decided to bring the whole family. Big Mistake!!! Below are my comments for the evening: 1. Doesnt care if you die. My 5 yr old nephew is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, sesame. And not allergic like I get a rash, but allergic like My throat is closing, please pass me the epi-pen. When the bread came we inquired if there was any contact with peanuts, and the response by the owner was a shoulder shrug and a "I dont know, I dont know". Not even a mention of accommodating for his allergies, clearly unmoved by the disappointed look on my nephews face. 2. They dont like birthdays. We brought a home-made cake. Apparently thats not allowed. 9 people having dinner and we cant bring my dad a cake. The owner said they cant assure where its been made, etc. when 5 seconds ago he couldnt tell me where the bread was from. But you question our cake? OK. 3. The place is outdated - just ask the red wall to wall carpeting. 4. Food: Im not Italian, but I lived in Staten Island for 4 years so I know the difference between authenticity and overpriced subpar Italian. This was the latter. With the amazing restaurants on Mill Plain road, WHY ARE PPL STILL GOING HERE?! If you are looking to dine in Danbury - Go to Spasi, go to Max 40, go to Mezon - JUST DONT GO HERE! The only reason this place gets 1 star is because the wait staff was so nice. Thats it. First time here and DEFINITELY the LAST

I am very disappointed with Café on the Green. I won a $25.00 gift certificate from I95. It was just a sheet of paper printed stating what I won. NO RESTRICTIONS. I did win another $25.00 gift certificate from I-95 as well. This one has restrictions on it. Mon - Thurs. Dinner only & must be used within 60 days. I called the restaurant and spoke with Tracy (the owner). I wanted to know if I could combine the two certificates. He said I couldnt. That was fine with me. I didnt think I could. I told him that I wanted to come up there on Sunday afternoon. He said I couldnt, that it would have to be for dinner, Monday-Thurs. I explained to him that I wanted to use the gift certificate I had with NO restrictions on it. All he kept saying was "Im sorry"! I dont think he was at all! I think that was in bad taste, judgment and bad business not to honor my certificate that had NO restrictions on it. I-95 should state what the restrictions are when doing a contest to win them! I have NO plans on ever going to Café on the Green. The Certificates are both in the garbage!

Absolutely delicious ! Great place with wonderful service. We setup everything for dinner for the entire family It’s was a very good evening. Immediately the staff came to serve us water and a loaf of warm bread. The staff was friendly and very helpful specially to accommodate the kids. We ordered some of the specials that night, The Quinoa Crusted Sea Scallops, Scaloppine Di Vitello Saltimbocca, Linguine Alla Gamberi E Vongole & Filetto Di Manzo Alla Gorgonzola were fantastic, probably some of the best that we ever had!. We were completely stuffed but couldnt resist ordering desert. Chocolate Lava Cake my mom was delighted with the coffee & Chocolate Lava Cake, we ordered Chocolate Mousse Cake dessert to share, also delicious. Great location. Very Good Restaurant for a family dinner will definitely be one of my new go-to dinner spots when visit Danbury! We recommend highly

I have never felt so unwelcome at a restaurant. Maybe we werent upscale enough, but we dealt with dirty looks from the wait staff all evening. Each server we had, and it was three different ones throughout the night, gave us serious attitude. The only nice staff that we encountered were the two bus girls. The food was okay, but the sizes were on the medium size, particularly for how obscenely expensive it is. And its far overpriced. I could have gotten more food, for less, that was better, at a different establishment, and have actually felt like they wanted my business there. I will never, ever go back there again, and very adamantly encourage anyone else to avoid it as well.

We were celebrating our first night as husband and wife and attempted to go out to dinner at Cafe on the Green. We arrived at 8pm and saw a fairly large group of people enjoying wine and drinks. Upon going up to get a table we were promtly told that they were closed and the chef had "just left" because it was a "slow night". Being a mixed minority couple, we apparently did not meet the restaurants criteria and were turned away. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Dont even waste your time making the trip out there.

This restaurant has one of the best views in the area. The food is certainly notable and at times distinguished, but I am not sure the view and meal offset the price. It is romantic, but there are many other romantic places to gaze into a loved ones eyes. Avoid at all cost during holidays (Valentines Day), the service and food suffer. In the spring and summer the deck has an outstanding atmosphere to toast a glass a wine with a loved one.

we go here for the ambiance. a wall of glass overlooks a gold green. quiet, dignified atmos makes a perfect place for special occasions---our go-to place for those. we feel it is overpriced (not so if you add in the value of the atmosphere) and the service is erratic: often had to micro-manage the waitstaff. they gave us a gift cert because we said it was so bad one time. food is satisfying but n

Went to the restaurant for New Years Eve with my family and it was a fixed menu. The food was good and the service okay. You def felt rushed and that even though it was a fixed menu and would expect things to run smoothly. The restaurant was nice, clean and the food was good. High priced restaurant and not necessarily worth it. This restaurant is great for couples.

This is the first time Ive ever NOT left a tip. Service was done by committee and we were apparently at an invisible table, servers continually walked right passed us. We had to ask for water/wine/courses/etc. Spending that much on a meal and with that many servers there, youd think someone would occasionally stop over and see if you need anything.

My wife and I went here for dinner mid week. The food was lovely and so was the service. I would definitely eat here again. We split an appetizer and the meals came with salad, mashed potatoes, green beans and sorbet between the salad and the main course. The restaurant overlooks a golf course so its very pretty. Definitely a good find in Danbury.

Not a family friendly place. Our kids were told to be quiet by the owner as we took them out for a bathroom break. We are the first to discipline them and this time they were behaving quite well. Food was just ok- I had to take two bites of my snapper because I was not sure if it was chicken or fish. Wont be back.
