Dining at a beautiful restaurant in Connecticut is such a treat. Not only do you get to enjoy amazing food, but you get a side of great views to top it all off. We’re lucky enough to have a variety of restaurants with great views, whether you’re looking for waterfall scenery, riverfront dining, or just an all-around majestic eatery. One Nutmeg State restaurant with pretty spectacular views is Pier131 Bar + Kitchen. This tasty spot serves up delicious meals along with stellar views of the mighty Housatonic River.

The Housatonic is one of the longest rivers in the state, with a total length of around 150 miles through Massachusetts and western Connecticut. That's a lot of riverfront acreage, and Pier131 is one of the prettiest restaurants in the area. It's conveniently located in downtown Shelton.
