If its Sushi and a raw bar you crave, this is definitely the place for you! But is not the only thing 85 Main has to offer. Everything from an extensive list of fine spirits and classic cocktails to fabulous pasta and other carnivorous delights!

Outstanding service and delicious food. We had calamari and sushi. The calamari was very crunchy and tender. Our server was very attentive particularly to my two year old son and making sure his kids pasta meal came out just right.

A gem of a restaurant hidden in the Northeast corner of Connecticut. Fish Chips or Steak frites are a must try. Surprisingly good sushi
