- TTimNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoLoved this place. 1st time there and weren’t sure what to expect considering we didn’t have the best time at its sister restaurant next door. We loved it. From the popover to the filet to dessert. Everything was great. Found out mostly everything is made in house and you can tell. Can’t wait to go backMore infoSaltbrick Prime$$$$• American• Branford•4.1
- DDebraNew York City •7 reviews5.0Dined on 8 Oct 2026I have been to Radici several times and have recommended it to many of my friends and we all have had a great experience. The atmosphere is nothing like anything in Branford. Love the outside dining with different seating choices, from high tops, traditional tables, to couches. The food is very good as well as the service. I actually witnessed a waiter placing an umbrella outside to block the sun shining on a customer sitting inside. Now that’s service! Can’t wait to go back.More infoRadici at The Stand | Branford$$$$• Italian• Branford•3.9

- DDarleneGoldNew York City •78 reviews5.0Dined on 21 Aug 2026Lockworks Tavern has delicious food, fantastic ambiance..brick walls , high ceilings and really was a Lockworks factory many years ago. Next door is their sister restaurant, a steak restaurant that uses the recipes of a famous Chicago restaurateur, David Burke. The Prime Rib will knock your socks off. Incidentally , you can sit on the tavern side and order the steak from the steak restaurant. A breathe of fresh air for Branford.More infoLockworks Tavern$$$$• Steakhouse• Branford•4.4
