Update: Market Place, Danbury, CT

We tried Market Place in Danbury, hoping it was better than the Woodbury restaurant.  We both ordered hamburgers, because we aren't rich and didn't want to go broke eating a quick dinner.  The waitress, who was very nice, asked if we wanted any extras on our burgers or salad etc. instead of fries. Never mentioned an up-charge. I got the regular burger with fries, but Lee said avocado on the burger sounded good and he got the salad instead of the fries.  The burgers were delicious.  They were cooked properly and juicy.  Then we received the bill.  Ten extra dolllars for avocado and salad.  Unbelievable!!  Almost $40 for two burgers!  I'm done with that place.  When I want another good burger, I'll head over to Chuck's where I don't feel like I'm getting the shake down.

El Coyote - Danbury, CT

We love El Coyote.  It is one of our favorite Mexican restaurants.  Our favorite part is that they offer salad if you don't want the rice and beans.  The salad has the most delicious ginger citrus dressing, yummy!  Lee ordered his regular chicken enchiladas and I ordered the chicken fajitas. My fajitas had a decent amount of chicken and I love when some of the peppers and onions are charred from the hot skillet. I also liked that they gave me separate plate to make my fajitas, sometimes places don't do that. There was success all around.  Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable.  The atmosphere isn't screaming Mexican, there is more of a nod to the culture.  Very nice!  It was an enjoyable time all around.

Widow Browns - Danbury, CT

We went to Widow Browns because we hadn't been there since the renovations.  The inside looked pretty much the same.  The waitstaff was so so.  Lee never got a refill on his soda and the food was okay.  Lee ordered the salmon sandwich which was mashed like tuna fish, which makes me believe that it was maybe canned salmon.  Lee wasn't thrilled. I had a cobb salad that wasn't bad.  It was a little odd that it had something like a bean salsa in the salad, but it tasted good.  The service was a little lacking. I think that we need to try it again and order something different.
