I've lived in Danbury my entire life and I always forget to go to Cafe on the Green. Wanted to go out Saturday night and thought I'd give it a try. The location is good, service is good, however, the quantity of food is a complete joke. I ordered the Chicken Scarpariello, and no lie I think I received two tablespoons of mashed potatoes, maybe one chicken breast which was halved, so, in essence a half of a chicken breast and one sausage and a small side of vegetables. Do yourself a favor and skip this restaurant if you want a decent amount of food to eat.
