Great French onion soup that's only $7. Real espresso martinis, the espresso is made fresh for each drink. Amazing. Pleasant, bright atmosphere.the peach raspberry margaritas are delicious. The garlic knots?? AMAZING. Try it, you'll like it

I found this place on Google during my drive from NY to CT, and it did not disappoint. The moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt perfect—warm, welcoming, and inviting. Our server was wonderful and incredibly attentive, making the experience even better. And the food and drinks? Absolutely to die for. Every bite and sip blew my mind. Highly, highly recommend!

Beautiful building with wonderful food choices. I had the cast iron ribeye which was quite good. The bleu cheese instead of traditional seasoning is not something I would normally eat but I wanted to give it a shot. I probably won’t get it again though it was cooked very well and the meat quality seemed decent enough. I think next time I’ll try a pasta dish. Cactus has great potential to become a place I regularly eat at.

Was trying to go to another place that was listed as open and got all the way there to find out it was closed. Pulled into a parking lot to see what was in the area and asked someone parked where to get good food. As my daughter was pulling it up on Google the guy said Cactus Bistro. This place is absolutely GORGEOUS. Very nice patio but we were not dressed to be outside and it was a bit cool. Was not crowded and despite getting there late in the evening everyone was still pleasant. There were a few people at the bar which was lovely and they had preseason football on. Waitress was so sweet and pleasant. She took our drink orders and even contributed to helping choose what to eat because everyone the menu sounded delicious. My daughter got the Salmon Oreganata, grand princess opted for

Stopped here for the first time in our way to a show at the Goodspeed and what a delight! Warm, welcoming, delicious food, generous portions and reasonable prices. This pescatarian found plenty of menu options - we ordered the taco app, penne alla vodka, and a Brussels sprouts "tower" which surprised us as the star of the meal! If you haven't been here - go! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!
