We had excellent dinners at really wonderful restaurants in Boston, New Haven and Middletown, but the highlight of the trip was breakfast at Mitchell 's on Main. We went there first on a Saturday. It was busy, packed with people, all of whom seemed to one another and were well known to the staff. I had the Italian Garbage Plate. With a name like that, how could I resist: fried potatoes with sausage, onions and red pepper, topped with melted cheese and a couple of poached eggs. My husband had Eggs Oscar which is essentially Eggs Benedict with lobster and asparagus. The breakfast was so good, we went back the next day and that was when the most startling thing happened. The hostess showed us to our seat and said, One regular coffee and one decaf, right? After one visit, in a crowded restaurant, she remembered. I ordered poached eggs and the server asked, On the toast or in a cup? I have never been asked that before and have often had to fish the poached eggs out of a little pool of cooling water in a cup. My husband had a tuna melt (yes it is a pretty big menu) and said it was the best he ever had. Also, the street perpendicular to Main leads down to the river and a beautiful little park a nice walk to work up your appetite. All in all a wonderful experience.

Breakfast staple in this small town. Salad breakfast choices. The menu is a little bit big, But most of the food is good. read more Breakfast staple in this small town. Salad breakfast choices. The menu is a little bit big, But most of the food is good.
