Rainbow Grille & Tavern

One of our all time favorite restaurants. We live in CT and have a place on Averill Lake. We try to go to the Grille as often as possible! The chef and his team never disappoint! I had the 6 ounce filet wrapped in bacon and my husband had duck with a black berry sauce. Absolutely tremendous!! Can’t say enough good things about the restaurant. Kudos to the whole team…keep doing exactly what you are doung!! 👏

Spent the weekend riding and eating. Food and service was excellent

We have our annual dinner here each year during our Pittsburg hunting trip. In years past everything has been 5 stars. This year was a bit different. The food was still great and service was fine. Our problem was with the drinks. Just awful manhattans where it was clear the person had never made them before. Muddle fake cherries in an old fashion??? Weak and terrible espresso martinis which looked like milk. To top it off we always purchase two bottles of caymus for dinner… they were out of course. I really hope they clean up the bar service or they will lose long time customers.

Unfortunately for our party the steaks were just not good. The chef cooked and seasoned they to perfection, but they were tough. The mushrooms on top where burned black smudges. The red skin potatoes had to be cut with a steak knife. The French onion soup had way too much cream and made it just taste milky. See steak photo

So happy we made reservations 6 months in advance. Excellent service, beautiful surroundings and one of the best steaks I’ve ever enjoyed. Try the smoke trout appetizer and lobster 🦞 pie!!
