“Found this place by mistake. We go to all the wineries in the area. Never knew it existed. Fabulous experience right from the start. Wines are delicious and the owners and staff are phenomenal. The first Wednesday of every month they host open mic night. So much fun. Great atmosphere. If you haven't tried it yet, it's worth the trip. Bring a few friends and have a great time. We always do.“
“This place is my favorite… my go to for everything. When my family has a big celebration they have multiple areas to seat us so we have and never feel rushed. Date nights we are given appropriate attention. I’ve even catered with them and everyone left my home full and happy, didn’t have many left overs. They’re very accommodating with making changes to any dish as long as they have the ingredients! All around great place for any occasion“
“We live in town; this is our go-to place for Italian food. Whenever we bring anyone here for dinner, this is where they want to go next time we see them. We really enjoy lunches there, too. Prices are quite reasonable, excellent food, plenty of it, and genuinely welcoming service staff. The garlic knots in the bread basket are a major plus, too.“
“This place make you feel like you’re eating in front of Lungomare Mergellina in NAPLES, Italy. Absolutely fantastic pizza, pasta and everything you see on the menu. If you’re familiar with a real and authentic pizza this is the right place for you, won’t find a place like this in the whole state of CT. Food is fresh, pizza is not greasy like every other place you go and your stomach doesn’t feel heavy after eating here. You smell authentic as soon as you walk in. Great job and thank you for having a place like this in CT.“
“Outstanding place for high quality Italian. The staff is really fantastic and makes every effort to ensure you have an experience that keeps you coming back time and time again. Great Martinis and there's a reason everyone says get the pasta!Parking: Valet unless you can find something on the street.“
“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 :-)!“
“New Haven style Pizza is an institution. While there are lots of great spots, there are 3 spots that are consistently in the discussion: Frank Pepe’s, Sally’s Apizza and Modern.Having read several books about pizza over the years, in connection with my responsibilities as a pizza reviewer for the Wildwood Pizza Tour, I had heard the names of these pizzerias in the past. Pepe’s is the New Haven originator and, in a documentary I skimmed, the location that my hero Henry Winkler, the Fonz, recommended! Say no more!Trying to delay dinner as late as possible after crippling overindulgence and J. Timothy’s Tavern and B.T.’s Smokehouse earlier in the day, I walked into Pepe’s at 9:15 on a Tuesday night. I ordered the classic pizza with mozzarella. On a cold, rainy New Haven night, a hot pizza from the Pepe’s coal fired oven really hit the spot.Frank Pepe’s original skills came from being a baker, so the dough is one of the highlights. In the coal fired oven, it gets a bit of a chewyness and char. If I’m being honest, I didn’t find this pizza particularly unique compared to other coal fired pizzas I’ve had over the years, but the ingredients are very good and it is done well. I imagine this place is very consistent in its preparation. As much as I love delivery, this feels like a pizza you have to eat in the restaurant right out of the oven for best results.I should also note that the Foxon Park Diet Cola, served in Pepe’s for decades, was surprisingly excellent — a highly unlikely possibility in my experience sampling colas made by companies I don’t recognize.I questioned if I could possibly eat all three of New Haven’s most famous pizzerias in one night and that was not even remotely a possibility by the end of this day…but I can’t wait to get back and try the others some time in the future.“
“We visited Skappo for my birthday yesterday and our initial walk in the door we were greeted by this lovely woman who cleared a table immediately so we were not waiting long. Then mom (we know from the great introduction) came over to say hello and commented on my necklace. The food was so good and it was like we were at Nonna's house!! We started with the antipasto and the stuffed figs.So glad we chose both because those stuffed figs alone were worth the trip back. For our entrees I got the bolognese and my husband got the ziti with a creamy sausage sauce, both were delicious!!! It is worth the trip and we know we will be making return visits!! Thank you for your warm welcome and delicious food!!Beth and DaveVegetarian options: Last night the lasagna was vegetarian“
“We had a wonderful time on Thanksgiving. Something went very wrong with our original restaurant reservation. Shell & Bones were able to accommodate a table of six last minute. Great service fabulous food all with a view. Highly recommend.“
“This place is amazing! Exactly what Rochester needs! The ambiance is top notch! The food is incredible and the service beyond my standards. I can’t express enough how great this place is! Please come and support this business so it can be here to stay!“
“We had a fantastic night at Pearl Wine Bar! We have never been before and sat on their beautiful back patio -- top notch construction, with a full bar w large granite counter, several covered tables, high tops and low comfortable chairs, and heaters (although we sure didn't need them tonight!). We had drinks, bread with honey butter (yum), and shared the shrimp tacos (perfect seasoning) and the honey chicken (the fries were delicious). Our server Alicia was outstanding, and the bus person was great too. A great new location for us in Branford -- we'll be back.“
“So I went on a recommendation here not realizing that the main part of it was closed. I'm just figuring that out now. However, I walked in tonight after finding parking and taking 20 minutes to get to the location and once in the door, I was directed down to a beautiful lounge and bar area with the Dreamius music playing, and it was such an esoteric feeling to my experience there. However, that was stopped short when I sat down and reviewed the menu, four times, and then waited, then waited some more, I'm by myself, so I continue to wait. Then Inn walks three different sets of people, and the next thing I know the one bartender is making drinks for all of the different people who have showed up, but there's nobody servicing the actual lounge and people that are waiting for food and drinks. I promptly stood up, took my bag and walked out. I was really looking forward to trying their delicious vegetarian options and a martini for starters so I can't really say much about the food or the drink, but I can say I felt extremely neglected walking in the door as a first timer. I just want to state that I have edited my review and given them five stars, I heard from their manager, Megan and I truly appreciate the follow up and sweet invite to come back and try fire house 12. I'm here for another few days. I'm gonna give it a whirl again tonight it was actually a beautiful place so maybe I just came in at a really crazy time- thanks again!“
“Wait time in a line outside was 30 min-40 min to get a table on Saturday night. Service was fantastic and food was fantastic. I didn't care for the anchovies but that's my preference. I was convinced to get the tomato pie without the mozzarella and it ended up being my favorite.“
“This is one of the top three bars in New Haven. The owner takes pride in sourcing the most interesting and delicious wines. The ambience is mystical, intimate and charming, all at the same time and the music selection is always on point. Additionally, take a look at their menu as they have tons of tasty offerings on small plates. This is a must try!“
“Cool venue and good food. Abysmal service, but it seemed like a randomly very busy Thursday, server seemed like he was doing his best, but it also seemed like he had too many tables. Burrata salad, duck, and Library were all delicious, and the PBJ Old Fashioned was absolutely fantastic!“
“If customer service was a restaurant, Barcelona is it! We were visiting a friend in the city and he recommended doing tapas to try different things. He suggested Barcelona and talked proudly about their brussel sprouts. However, when we got their our waitress said they no longer had them. She could have stopped there. Instead, she said she'd asked the kitchen what other vegetables could they prepare like the brussel sprouts. Then, she brought out a complimentary order of leeks for us to taste. THEY WERE AMAZING. My friend asked if they still did half bottles of wine on Sunday. They no longer do but she brought a sample of a wine she recommended. Meanwhile, a female manager came out to apologize for not having the brussel sprouts and wanted to know if we'd enjoyed the leeks. The waitress came back to check on us several times and was so super sweet. My friend was simply asking if they still did the drink chips for completing the survey. She was like, we are 3 for 3 on not being able to fulfill your request; let me get you a free dessert. She left to get the dessert and another manager, Kenneth came over. He'd found some tokens and gave them to my friend. He not only brought the chips over, he took the time to talk with us about some of the changes they've made. He also talked about life, kindness, and customer service. When the waitress returned with the cake, thanked us again for coming and kept the most polite disposition. They didn't have to do ANYTHING, and we weren't looking for them to. But they went SO above and beyond, and it was all proactive. This was by far one of THE BEST experiences I've had and I can't say enough about how great Barcelona is. I'll definitely be back!“
“I’ve been coming here for years. The service and food are just amazing. It’s a wonderful spot to share with loved ones for special occasions or just a great night out! You cannot go wrong with whatever you choose on the menu! Do yourself a favor and try it.“
“Love the atmosphere and location on the River. 2nd weekend went for brunch. Still no Lobster Benedict, last week got the breakfast pizza, it was outstanding. Got breakfast sliders today, a little disappointing. Karaoke Wednesdays are fun, they tolerated my awful singing.(Maybe that's why the sliders weren't good lol). Going back next Saturday for one more try.“
“On a dreary January afternoon this tucked away vineyard offers charm and warmth. The Washington Red is a lush and flavorful merlot . Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Enjoy a glass or 2 with friends here and enjoy the positive vibes.“
“I've been meaning to check this place out as it's right down the street from our house. I didn't have high expectations but I was pleasantly surprised! We tried a few cocktails, a couple of the specials and 2 apps off their regular menu. Generous portions, fresh ingredients, layered flavors... honestly so impressed. And friendly service. We will be back!“
