Was at the Fenton River Grille today for the second time, and once again it was a wonderful, delicious experience! I have celiac disease, and while they don't have a separate gluten free menu, it is mentioned there are gluten free options available for bread, pasta and burger buns. In addition, when I told our waitress Cheryl about my dietary restrictions, she did say the chef would try to alter other dishes to make them gluten free as well, and he did. I felt they took it seriously as opposed to other big chain places where you are fortunate if they actually give you the gluten free pasta. They serve an excellent gluten free clam chowder. In addition, the Crispy Brussel Sprouts was fantastic, as was the salmon. Other people in my party had the Grilled Vegetable Panino, and the Curry Udon Noodle Bowl, both were excellent. Finally, both times the servers were so friendly. I highly recommend this place.
We stopped in kind of latish tonight, surprised we weren't at Angellino's! However, it was a happy surprise! We did not splurge tonight (seniors, fixed income, etc). We had their house "fried" chips and Vidalia dip: they may have been house fried but not a touch of frying oil was to be found on these tasty chips. The dip was much nicer than any other onion dip I've tried. Husband loves short ribs and his s.r. sandwich was great. I had the Fenton burger --with the bacon jam (they should bottle and sell it!) and it was cooked as I requested. Jacinda, our server, was thoughtful and full of good humor. Hope management knows they have a treasure in her! Many more high points; just want to recommend the Grill (another high point is that the useless"e" was not appended to the name!) to anyone in the area or in driving distance.
Great food great vibe. The staff was awesome and personable. I got the calamari it tasted great, very light on batter didn't make you feel like your eating fried food. Price was right on point. Perfect change/addition to the town!
They did a great job with the place. The environment was comfortable and the staff was friendly. I had the shrimp scampi ravioli and it was excellent. Nice and fresh and the menu has a different selection which is refreshing. I will definitely be returning.

Went to dinner with friends last night and loved the atmosphere. The dang quesadilla was absolutely amazing (some heat but not too much). The short ribs were delicious and the drinks were so delicious (and awesome selection of on tap beer)! Overall fantastic restaurant with great vibe! Will be going back!
Great food and great staff! I would recommend for a great dinner
We had an excellent experience for lunch today. Our server, Allison, was attentive and personable. The food was excellent. Atmosphere was great. Decor was really thought out and made the lunch nice as well. Steve Smith stopped and spoke with us. He had a heart for the business. We will return.
Excellent food. My wife and I have eaten here twice now and we were very impressed with the food and service both times. Steve is an excellent host and it is clear that he is serious about making your experience special.
By far the best food in the area.
Thank you !

The food was incredible. My meal and my husband's was delicious. Loved the decor. It is really beautiful. A large beer and wine selection. Next time we are trying dessert!
Diverse Menu, beautiful interior! Had the beef short rib sandwich..... was delic!!!! A refreshing change for Willi/Mansfield area... my new go-to place!!!!
We recently went to the Fenton River grill and found it to be delightful. We ordered the chicken thigh app with half Buffalo half Italian garlic and they were very good. We ordered Tuscan chicken, chicken tortellini and a hamburger. All were very good. The wait staff was beyond excellent. Perfect timing on drinks apps and meal. We sat outside and enjoyed it very much. Recommend Fenton River Grill!
First time at Fenton! Went to celebrate my birthday with a friend. We had the salmon burger with Parmesan fries. I would recommend to any salmon lovers. Had a Cucumber mojito with a happy birthday Lemon cake with berries. Everything was quite tasty. The service was wonderful and even sang along singing Happy Birthday with my friend. Can’t wait to go back and try another dish!
This place is amazing! I had a wonderful time with my friend, and the atmosphere was not loud at all. I ordered the Tofu Vegetable Rice Bowl and it was delicious! I didn't need any salt or pepper, it was perfectly seasoned. I can't wait to try more dishes here!
Dinner & drinks on the patio was fabulous! Dinner was great & most memorable was the Italian rum cake. So delicious!
Our food was excellent and so was our service! Not to mention that the ambiance is really pleasant! Nice dinner music playing. All around, lovely experience ! My salmon was cooked to temp and NOT overdone. My husband had an excellent steak.
Thank you !
Our second dining experience here was just as good as the first. Get the homemade chips and onion dip as an app. You will not be disappointed.
Sat at bar and was served by Michael. Absolutely perfect service, he was personable and also knowledgeable on the various IPAs on tap. I ordered food to go and was treated perfectly. I am 31 Years old, and this establishment seems to go above and beyond for its patrons. THANK YOU!

Calamari’s were delicious and served fresh off the fire. Sirloin steak cooked medium rare was very good however, the mashed potatoes were a bit too hard tasteless. Beer buttered fish was no so good either. I’ve had better ones. Not sure if I’ll visit this location again.
Truly love going here right before grocery shopping. There are always good food on the menu and the staff are very accommodating and friendly. They also have fun drinks to try and I tried the blueberry beer and I believe the owner came out to show me how the blueberries float like a lava lamp. Definitely made my day!
Fenton River never disappoints! Food is always amazing and the staff is fabulous! Always has great specials...I highly recommend visiting!
It was five years between visits, the food was great, I had the pot roast. Had a good time. My wife liked her fish. Thursday night oysters I can't wait.
Service was excellent. My fiancee and I shared the brussel sprouts which were good and then both ordered the short rib. Short rib was subpar. Couple fatty pieces but wasn't too bad.
Very good restaurant with good service
I visited there two times and all food I tried were so great!
I especially liked Hosmer Root Beer braised short Rib (2nd pic with some potato and veggie).
They also do have some special menu which is daily changed!!
So nice thay I cannot help recommending!
What a wonderful, inviting and delicious restaurant tucked away in an unassuming mini-plaza by Big Y. From the decor to the wait staff, food and drinks, everything at Fenton River Grill works. I’ll start with the Brussels Sprouts: yummy. Nicely roasted and seared with a hint of char, the tamari lime dressing danced playfully on the palate. The fish tacos were tender and juicy and the cabbage mango salsa provided a nice tang that refreshed the taste buds. My friend enjoyed the Banh Mi sandwich, enjoying the juicy grilled chicken and the bite of the siracha lime aioli complimented by the fresh cucumber and pickled veggies. I enjoyed the smooth and delicious old fashion and my friend enjoyed the perfectly spiced Bloody Mary. On the several occasions I’ve been to Fenton River Grill, o can honestly say, every member of the wait staff was friendly and attentive. I thoroughly enjoy everything about this restaurant.

Great food. We have fun at the bar typically, where we can get to know the staff. Plenty of local brews on tap and consistently great food.
Great little fine not far from UConn campus. Great service and a unique menu made this a fun place to spend Father's Day. Decent Scotch selection along with other whiskeys. Appetizers or especially creative and tasty.
