“Food was great. Amazing octopus. We had several small plates based on our server’s suggestions, which were spot on. Had 2 different types of “gintonics” which were great. The music was a little off (loud rap, not in keeping with the vibe), but everything else was fantastic!“
“A jewel box of a restaurant. Intimate and cozy with great attention to detail from the food to the decorating. Owner, Michelle, is welcoming and pays great attention to ensuring her guests have a special dining experience.My friend and I had dinner there last evening and it was one of the most delicious meals I’ve had in a long time.Thank you for such a wonderful evening.Martha Spiegel“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional restaurant, and I must say, the food totally blew me away. I’m sad that it’s so far from where I live.The eggplant, Vietnamese crispy roll, and hot oil dumplings were particularly impressive. The rolls boasted a perfect balance of crispy texture and flavorful pork filling, while the dumplings were generously stuffed and perfectly sized. The adjustment of the hot sauce to suit local tastes was executed skillfully, without compromising too much of the authentic flavors.The deep-fried eggplant retained its vibrant purple color and shape, with flavors and fragrance concentrated beautifully on the surface. However, the highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Pho Tai. Served with tender beef cut exactly as it is in Hanoi, Vietnam, it showcased the chef's dedication to authenticity and quality ingredients.The Char Kway Teow demonstrated exceptional wok skills, with evenly distributed sauces coating the wide noodles, delivering an authentic flavor experience. It's evident that the chefs take great pride in their craft.Not only was the food outstanding, but the service was also impeccable. The staff were welcoming and attentive, ensuring a memorable dining experience from start to finish.“
“My husband and I recently celebrated his birthday at Ola Kitchen and from the moment we stepped through the door, we were captivated by the warm ambiance and attentive service. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, ensuring that every detail of our evening was flawless.As we perused the menu, we were delighted by the diverse selection of dishes, each crafted with precision and creativity.The presentation of each dish was nothing short of artistic, with vibrant colors and intricate plating that showcased the chef's mastery of culinary technique. And to complement our meal, my husband’s margarita and my sangria were delicious.But perhaps the highlight of the evening was the dessert- pineapple tres leches cake that arrived at our table with a flourish. Rich, and indulgent, it was the perfect ending to a perfect meal.Overall, our experience at Ola Kitchen surpassed all expectations, leaving us with memories that will last a lifetime. From the impeccable service to the exquisite cuisine, every aspect of our evening was truly exceptional and the ideal setting to celebrate this special occasion.“
“First time here, liked it a lot. Comfortable interior in black and white, plenty of seating.Had an excellent Cheeseburger, 8oz perfectly seared handmade patty on Brioche Roll dripping with melted cheese. Well-built and tasty. Fries were as good as the burger. Can't get a better one in Stratford till Riley's opens. They're on the same level. Can't wait to try rest of menu.Lunch is $20, appetizer or side, main dish and a drink. Pretty good deal. Ample convenient parking.“
“We dined here on a Friday night at 6:30 and place was 80%filled by 7:00. Service was very friendly and efficient. Appetizers of grilled and fried calamari were very good. The 14.95 size was very adequate for 2-3 people. Drinks were excellent also. Main course of veal very good, but bourbon cream sauce had a bit too much bourbon, leaving a bitter taste. Noice level particularly loud probably related to hard wood floor. Overall, pretty solid intimate restaurant with a seemingly loyal clientele.“
“Easy to make a reservation on a Friday night. The Hostess sat us right away and our Server was punctual in greeting us and taking drink orders. The drinks were well-balanced, not too sweet. We specifically enjoyed the White Bronco. The deviled eggs, pickles vegetables, chicken wings (chipotle honey), hush puppies, and chopped salad with chicken were all delicious. Our server was very attentive the entire evening and we felt very welcome and not rushed even towards closing. Thank you!“
“Where to start? We have our Christmas party here and everyone always enjoys it! Food is awesome - where else can you eat octopus, flaming chorizo, seafood, steaks and paella and so many more specially prepared dishes? The variety available on the menu is fantastic! Great Portuguese red wine and great service by Gabriel means we'll be back to visit often!Vegetarian options: Many options“
“By far the best restaurant I’ve ever been in Connecticut. I’m a local, I’m a foodie, I love going around and trying everything. I’m Brazilian, my friend is Moroccan, and we’ve also extensively traveled in our countries. We both agreed, never tried food as delicious as a bartaco’s.The Poké bowl is delicious, but my personal preference is the pork belly taco. I get six every time I go there.Fun fact, if you get the press, leches cake, they’ll actually give you a lid to close the jar if you don’t finish all of it. I dream about that cake sometimes.Also, I work in the industry, and every chef I’ve ever met, has good things to say about that place.“
“One of our local favorite stops. We had lunch on Saturday before the Super Bowl. Staff, as always, are very accommodating. We had two Big Mack burgers ? with a side salad. It's one of the best damn burgers we've had in a while! Go and enjoy.“
