“ORALE, the food was amazing! This is AUTHENTIC Mexican food. I ordered the steak torta and my husband ordered shrimp tacos. It was the best torta that I've ever had and my husband could not stop talking about how delicious his steak tacos were. I used their chile de arbol and made sure to add it to every bite. The atmosphere itself is pretty small and needs some updating and they only had one person on the floor while it was pretty busy but that didnt really affect the service as much as I was expecting. Despite all of that, my food was superb and we will definitely be returning.“
“I’ve been an ABC subscriber since the fall, I’ve had a couple of minor mixups with orders but their customer service has been fantastic! They are quick to respond and are happy to correct the issue. The beer is solid with a ton of options, especially online and for subscribers.“
“Stopped in after hiking nearby Sleeping Giant Tower trail. Unique concept featuring ice cream from a variety of small purveyors from around CT. Very friendly, helpful staff giving lots of sample tastes. Ice cream was delicious.Easy access right off Rte 15.“
“The staff is incredibly friendly, upbeat, and helpful. Above all, the bagels and shmears are nonpareil!!! The best anywhere. I’m sad that I don’t live in New Haven anymore.Vegetarian options: I think the majority of spreads are vegetarian“
“Excellence in a glass is the best way to describe this brewery. Armada has a wonderful lineup of brews like their well-balanced "Till Death" hibiscus lager, and the super smooth coffee infused "A Tale of Two Kings" golden stout. I highly recommend stopping here for a pint and 4-packs to go ?“
“Cozy atmosphere, strong mixed drinks (i got a hot toddy - perfect on a wintry night). The food here is on point. I enjoyed the mac & cheese!Wheelchair accessibility: They have a built-in ramp to access the front door. You'll probably need help opening the door (iirc it is not automatic/push assist).“
“Drinks: 5/5Services: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5Pricing: a little pricey Overall: 5/5 Found this hidden gem in the middle of west haven CT. My friends and I were blown away by the overwhelming amount of flavors they offer for their shakes. It was an experience for us when we visited. We ordered Jamocha and Christmas Crack shakes that came we teas as complimentary. Don't let the overwhelming flavors deter you from trying out the drinks because they were very delicious. I love the fact that they are not too sweet and overly chocolate-y. They also use healthy ingredients to help you increase your vitamins/supplements intake (not for medical purposes). The service was excellent as well. 10/10 recommended!“
“I live outside of DC and go to a number of Michelin star restaurants… I will flatly say I have had meals that equalled Union League but never one that exceeded it. Couple in their very reasonable pricing, gorgeous building, great staff and this place is extraordinary. I will be visiting my sister in Milford more often in the future :-)!“
“Friendly, kind, nice conversations.Ciders were good. To each its own tastes. We bought a 4 pack of the blueberry which was closely related to "passion fruit" cider.Pizza wasn't to my liking. It was very oily. My husband had to try to take it off. And it was doughy. I personally like my pizza crispy. She claimed it was. .. nope. The pig chips and nuts tasted stale. Suppose to be glazed with beer cider. I don't know, in this case maybe I'm the one with the issue. Though ! We did see the ability to order platter of cheese n crackers, but they were out.. Lol.It's okay. It was a Sunday and they seem to be very slow then. So.if you want a quiet place to just sit and enjoy your moment in quiet, then this is good to go. On Sundays.Vegetarian options: Seen that they have a vegan pizza“
“Atmosphere is great, quiet warm and cozy. nice bar and open kitchen. Staff is friendly and attentive. Price is a bit high but Everything was great... Besides the Meatballs. ($18) Seemed frozen. Or cooked bad Tough to break apart, chunky texture. Sauce kind of Bland. I'd give em a 5/10 My wife a 4/10. Would still go back as everything else was great“
“Spacious and clean space to hang out with friends, to get some work/studying done or to just dog watch! Came in around 11am on a weekend and it was pretty quiet, only a few tables were taken. Things picked up a bit later in the afternoon around 1pm but there was still plenty of space for big groups to grab tables/couches. Didn't get a chance to try the beer but the coffee was quality and the peanut butter brownie was sooo good!“

“I enjoyed everything about Billy's Old Fashioned Ice Cream. My husband grew up in the area, this was my first time.The decor super cute with a working model train going around on the track.No one was yet at the ice cream counter but a nice girl / women came over right away we had no wait.Our order was two sundaes. My sundae was coffee carmel expresso with peanut sauce, whipped cream, cherry, and chocolate sprinkles. The 2nd sundae my husband's usual the classic vanilla ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream, and crushed oreos.One thing I noticed about Billy's that was done differently which I enjoyed our chosen sauces were through out our sundaes. Several places I have been to for ice cream the sauce is either just on top of the ice cream or over the whipped cream. Good technique Billy's.“
“Great pizza and sides. Should be in the New Haven Pizza conversation more often.Brick oven, Fresh ingredients, nice crunch and undercarriage/ crust. About 5 two person tables So not much for sitting in. More of a take out spot. Well worth it to go pick it up. Out of the down town city area. In Quiet East “
“Nestled away from North Main Street is this hidden gem of Italian food. Their marinara sauce is delicious and their portions are just right. It can be a little noisy but it's a good dinner spot for the area ( even if it may take a minute to find parking don't let that deter you.)Parking: Not a lot of parking but worth the effort.“
“One of the best vineyards in CT. Wine is fantastic, view is amazing, facility is welcoming. Staff is friendly quite friendly. Get there early if outdoor seating isn’t a great idea, it can fill up fast. That said, it’s all worth it. BYOF welcome.“
“Luisa is amazing! I had to plan and execute a wedding in only a month. She was able to accommodate me. From start to finish Luisa answered my many questions, took my vision for what I wanted for my wedding and made it happen. The cake was stunning visually and beyond delicious! The cake it’s own was moist and the fruit filling was fresh! I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services in the future. Thank you Luisa for helping to make my day a special one.“
“I finally tried PopCentric and I will say it's in a little strip mall but I did drive by it 2x . But it's a small little place but huge variety of popsicle flavors from chocolate to mango raspberry lime creamsicle etc . They are a bit pricey but it's all natural fruit . It actually had fruit in them . Nice refreshing treat other than ice cream . Good luck to them the staff was very nice . Enjoy Chris M“
“Had a great time at No Worries! Went there first on Wednesday and the bartender recommended Pinky Ring IPA. It was such a good beer, I went back there on Thursday and Friday. The lady that helped me on Wednesday, and the guy (I should have gotten his name! he is studying to be a chiropractor) on Thursday and Friday, were both super friendly. Talked with the locals as well and it felt like I was in my hometown craft brewery. Lots of families there along with dogs - it was great. If you are in the area, its a great place to stop by. Would highly recommend.“
