Visions for Bethel: What Restaurant Do You Want on Route 6?
Here's your chance to have a say: what kind of restaurant would you like to see on Stony Hill Road?
A post to the Bethel Patch Town Square on Friday asked readers to weigh in on what kind of restaurant they would like to see open on Stony Hill Road in Bethel.
The post asked for opinions on the type of food, as well as the general ambience Bethelites are looking for. The poster, Mike, encouraged candid comments.
Residents have already given a number of suggestions, most of which seem to want a mid-range, sit down establishment with some color.
“A family type restaurant — not a fast food,” poster saltyocs suggested. “Like Sunday dinners.”
“A TGIF or Cracker Barrel somewhere in the area would be nice,” consider offered, specifying they’re looking for, “Affordable family stuff.”
“A really nice quality restaurant, with a focus on fresh seafood, good cuts of meat and vegetarian options,” John Thorson posted, stressing that he’d like a quiet atmosphere. And, “Of course, reasonable prices would be a big draw.”
Paula Antolini had a different suggestion, agreeing with the idea of a “carefully selected menu” of quality entrees but asking for live music and local art on exhibition. (She also agreed the music shouldn’t be loud and the meals should be reasonably priced.)
As for specific types of food, readers mostly suggested American cuisine, such as BBQ, from Michael Robert, and, “Real New England food,” from Paul Improta, “With a big Sunday Brunch.”
On Facebook, readers suggested a Turkish restaurant or places that catered to gluten-free and Paleo diets.
One thing everyone seemed to agree on: there are enough pizza places on Route 6.
What type of restaurant is missing from the Route 6 corridor? What would you like to see there?
