“Rare find! From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel welcomed. From the food to the amazing staff, it was all delicious and well made. The martini, mojito, and Shirley temple were all flavorful. We loved the chicken wings. My boys couldn't get enough of the fries. It was all topped off with three amazing desserts. We will be back!“
“Great locale for a dressed up night out or business meeting. Casual clothing is allowed; however, the atmosphere (and pricing) is upscale so be mindful of your attire and spending.Walk-ins are accepted but it is often busy so reservations may be preferable.All the entrees were plated beautifully; however, the lamb was by far their most aesthetic and flavorful dish. Keep in mind some of the dishes are experimental but all of our dishes were exemplary.Overall dining experience was that of a high quality upscale food only topped by union league cafeParking: Street parking is limited. You may have to walk a considerable distance to find parking“

“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“
“The vibes, the drinks, the experience is worth trying. I love the ever changing menu-- like a different experience everytime. Good apps. Not for a large party but I would say a group of 6 would be max. Make reservations. Service is good-- they make great recs.“
“Here is another first visit for us, Hornets Nest Deli in Branford. While driving from East Haven through Branford we came upon the Hornets Nest Deli. The parking which is more than adequate was loaded with vehicles at 1:10P.M. thats a good sign for me. So we stopped in, first impression everyone knows everyone, lots of conversations going on very clean and lots of seating. Then you look over to the side wall and see the menu, yikes , many options available panini, sub, sandwiches and wraps, not to mention a very large choice of salads. we settled on splitting a #21 sub, grilled chicken with avocado, bacon lettuce and tomato with a balsamic vinaigrette. PERFECT, fresh bread chicken done just right a great sub. Great menu, great food, great service and a friendly staff, what more could you ask for.“
“An oldie but a goodie! I first went to this place in 2013 and really liked it, and recently checked it out and still think it’s great. Love the ambiance, the food is fun and adventurous and the service is attentive. One of my favorite spots in downtown New Haven!“
“Awesome place!!! Been there several tines and had a wonderful time. I took my grandson and friend along with my family and the friends mom. We had snacks and the food, drinks and service were outstanding!!! Staff very friendly. The boys played some video games but mostly played virtual golf. Plan to go back again. Also, went to a 40th birthday party!! Great venue for a party. Such a nice place for an afternoon or night out!!!“
“Dangle's is a black-owned business in well established downtown. The restaurant is nice and quaint giving you the feels of being connected to the owner and staff. The food was delicious - delivered hot and fresh. The staff were friendly and accommodating. It behooves anyone reading this to try this place out. You won't be disappointed.“
“Easily accessible and in walking distance of the New Haven green. Got brussels sprouts and a large pizza. The brussels sprouts were cut and fried in a unique way I had never seen before but it was quite delicious. The pizza was also quite good although a little too much garlic for my tastes (and i love garlic)“
“Slowest service ever. Unless your gonna stay for a few hours i don't recommend ordering food. Though the food is good. Ive been here serveral times and always food took 30 minutes or longer to be served this is a big complaint among their customers. The servers weren't the nicest.. though once i weren't and there was a very ocomidatiting young lady gave her fat tip. For a really good time at Lynons i recomend you eat before you go there. Last time i went staff was under age i had to get up and get my parties n my drinks. The Bar staff are the best . Nice vibe entertainment is always on point. They have great parking off street. It's also hard to find even with GPS. It sits back in the cut and the sign is small so if your not familiar with its location slow down nd look hard.“
“Literally just left after having the best lunch! My fiancé and I are new to CT and we’ve been desperately trying to find a cool spot with great food. We got the miso and lime mussels and poutine with our beers and it was SO GOOD! Simple but delicious. The portions were huge. The service was great and the beer was even better! So happy to finally find a great restaurant close to home!“
“OMG! this place is the Bomb! I had the monster Bacon Veggie omelette with the bacon on the side! Friendly staff and a traditional cafe with counter and booth seating where you can watch the Maestro at work! Parking on street and behind the restaurant?“
“Nice place for a morning. Great food, good service, good atmosphere. I ordered a hot chocolate (not a coffee guy), a Belgium waffle, and a side of bacon. All of that food was amazing and I highly recommend this place if you're bored and hungry in the morning! Good cafe!“
“Super-clean diner with easy on-off access to the major highways in Meriden. Got a special omelette with ham & tomato mixed into the fresh eggs, mozzarella inside. Delicious! Plentiful home fries fresh off the griddle slightly browned. Toast perfect and coffee really good. Clean bathroom. Very reasonable prices. Check them out you'll be very happy you did!“
“2024) Even better service than when I first visited this diner. They serve all of the classic diner offerings. They have plenty of space for gatherings, meetings, etc. Plenty of parking spaces too.2017) I live nearby and I've wanted to try this place. It has easy access to I91. The food presentation and quality was great. The service was also good.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Exploring small eateries closer to home is at the top of my to-do list in 2024, and starting with Pa's Place was a total win. I needed to burn off some anxiety while waiting for my husband's surgery to finish, and one of the nurses was kind enough to give me some ideas on where to go. Naturally, I immediately got lost, but it resulted in my stumbling into this gem, so no complaints here.Pa's is set right beside the water with easy access to parking. They have an outdoor pickup window, patio seating and live music in the warmer months. The inside is small, but solid. The furniture is beautiful and sturdy. No wobbly tables at Pa's! There are some long seating options, too, so it would be easy to bring the whole family.The menu has a lot of options, which I love. I settled on Pa's Cubano with sweet potato fries and maaaaannnnn did it deliver. Salty, tangy, a little bit sweet, and the cruch factor was on point! The perfect combo if you ask me. The fries? BOMB. 10/10 will go back again. I can't wait to bring my husband there once he heals up!Live in or around Guildford? Visiting friends? Just on a vacation from life? Go to Pa's Place for your next meal. You won't be disappointed!“
“The food and service is fantastic. It is my go to place for pizza and breakfast sandwiches. The inside is beautiful and clean with plenty of spots to take a load off while you enjoy coffee, or sit as a family and enjoy a meal. If you have not been you are doing yourself a disservice you will it be disappointed if you go.“
“Great place. I’ll have to make it a point to work it into the calendar more. Beer was excellent. 24 different beers on tap I believe. Burger was great - big and delicious and my wife enjoyed her wrap. Bonus points for the King Diamond and Rob Halford photos on the wall. I didn’t get to check out all the prints. Cool spot. We’ll be back.“
“prices on the menu are not the same as what I was charged; when I politely brought this up with my server I was met with hostility and I heard her and who I assumed to be the manager speaking very loudly and poorly about me; the whole situation made me entirely uncomfortable despite being upcharged 8 dollars that I paid my bill and promptly left after being treated poorly about the discrepancy. The food and atmosphere great, but poor service absolutely-- and I work at a restaurant as a server...“
“The food and service are amazing. The portion sizes are large and you will have enough to take home. Throughly enjoyed myMushroom risotto, My husband had the skirt steak and my daughter had the Meatloaf. MyYounger daughter had the crab cake appetizer for a main dish and said it was very good. There was s complimentary cheese board with olives, excellent! Every dish was flavorful. The drinks were just as good. I had a cosmo and it was on par. Definitely recommended. The lemon cello cake was also so good. I took it to go and ate it when I got home. Definitely glad I did not pass this up“
“A must try for seafood on the shoreline! There's a reason this place has been a go to for both locals and visitors for a very long time. The boat bar in the summer is a great spot for drinks and apps. The popcorn shrimp is a must try! And don't forget dessert at the dairy bar“
“Nice little breakfast place. Unfortunately, we sat near 2 older, opinionated men who used racial words in their discussion, loud enough for all to hear how they feel about other races. The food was real good and it was reasonably priced. We will return and hope for a better surrounding of “
“I had dinner here last week, this was my first time after hearing about it from others.The menu had items I didn't normally see on a pub or sports bar menu. All good choices. Those wraps and french fries deserve a shout out. Even a few offerings of some Ceasars salad with perfectly grilled chicken. Yes, the menu and the food is great.The great choices from the bar for drinks and beer. The food and the atmosphere was great.A special mention to the servers. GiGi is a fine addition to any bar and Ricky Lanno makes it his mission to ensure customer satisfaction.For a drink, a place for friends to gather, or a place for a bite out. Rally Caps deserves your consideration.I would highly suggest you try it out. I will definitely be back again.Loved it.Follow them on Facebook and Instagram for special events. I do now!PaulaDr. Paula Fradiani Ed.D.Dietary restrictions: Great salads with chicken or beef additions. I really enjoyed it.“
“Steak and cheese. Onion rings. The Best around. Family owned since I was a kid. I remember nick cooking and sitting at the end of counter. The kids kept the same quality food. I could also suggest the hotdogs, fried shrimp and hamburgers. Love this place“
“small local restaurant that serves delicious food, reasonably priced with a friendly waitstaff. Open for breakfast and lunch with take out options. ...This small local restaurant shouldn't be overlooked, stop in, you won't be disappointed!“
“Lobster tacos were a fun twist on the lobster roll. They were amazing. We also had the lobster nachos. This place isn't shy about giving you a nice portion of lobster. You'll have to forgive the missing taco as I shoved it in my face before thinking to take a “
“Yesterday my wife and I had the pleasure of finding a new, to us, go to place. We were attending a Drag show that a friend of ours was a part of and we didn't know what to expect from a restaurant in and old gas station. Well hang onto your hats folks because you are in for a great experience. Jo, the manager has got to be the sweetest thing on this earth since sugar cane. She kept everything moving smoothly while having a constant smile. Kevin, our server, should give classes in how to be a waiter. Attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and again, smiling all the time. All that is well and good but how about the food? I ordered the "Hail Mary" bloody mary. On another day this could have served as my lunch. It is topped with the most delicious hamburg slider, with a side of a perfectly cooked bacon slice and two grilled shrimp. The taste of the burger had me looking for the charcoal grille. So, the presentation was great but the taste of the drink surpassed the look. I highly suggest you give it a try. I ordered the Valdese Burger for breakfast, Another perfectly cooked burger, topped with and egg and hollandaise with a side of a ton of tater tots, yes, tater tots. The waffle my wife had was cooked perfectly and she said the taste was outstanding. We live an hour and a half away, it is worth the trip. She also said, the coffee could make or break a good meal, well, this coffee just added to the overall excellence of the meal. The place was noisy which was to be expected due to the show being presented, Noisy, but, oh so much fun. The place is great. Make it a part of your "places to try" this summer. You will thank me.“
“Tried Jimmy's Pizza for the first time last night. I was craving a greek style pizza with a thicker crust. My husband went and picked it up and there was a child's birthday party going on and it was utter chaos inside the restaurant with children running around screaming and trying to get into the kitchen. My husband said the staff was doing their best trying to keep the children out of the back but it was pretty crazy. We ordered the meat pizza and it was supposed to be ready just before 6pm. They were running behind and it was another 15-20 minutes before it was ready. I do have to say that the pizza was fantastic. The crust was buttery and light. The sauce was tangy with the perfect amount of cheese and toppings. We will definitely be ordering again. Hopefully next time we will miss the birthday party. LOL.“
“Don't be scared if the lot looks full - there is plenty of space inside. We stopped by for breakfast and had omelettes. The service was fantastic and the food was cooked just right.We plan to add this to our regular breakfast spots to visit.“
“Their vegan options are plentiful, and every dish we had was delicious. We had the Vegan crab cakes, and the Vegan layer dip. The previous time we had the Vegan burger and Vegan tacos, which were delicious also. Staff are courteous and attentive. The view from the restaurant is nice, and the decor/atmosphere is spot on! Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Great vegan selection“
“It was very popular on a Friday evening. It was too crowded for us to stay as we had an event that we needed to get to. Would like to try again when we weren't on a schedule.Parking: Lot behind the restaurant. Spaces not clearly lined, so some drivers make their own spaces.“
“My visits have been quite frequent lately, as I have been impressed by the great atmosphere and the impeccable service provided by our server, Brianna. She is truly amazing - always pleasant and willing to make things right if they happen to be amiss. Moreover, the food at Homes is simply amazing! I highly recommend that you give it a try. They also offer a gluten-free menu, which is a great option for those with dietary restrictions. I believe you would enjoy dining at Homes as much as I have.“
“We just did take out and it was great! My husband had the salmon, I had the short ribs and we got an order of the hush puppies. Everything was hot and tasted great at home. We also had an order of the cheesecake egg rolls which were a great sweet treat. Definitely will be back!“
“Honestly can't beat how delicious the burgers are, and for such a fair price..! We used to order from Prime 16, but Christopher Martins does burgers better. They seem to have a better handle of how to actually cook them right, so we have switched!4/5 on atmosphere but only due to inside smelling strongly of beer (fair enough). Attaching a picture of the cajun fries – absolutely delicious. The onion rings are a little different (think "shoestring" onion rings) but very tasty“
“Went there with a group. It was busy in bar with limited seating so plan ahead. Everyone had a good time and was happy with their food. My doob wings were fantastic as well as the burger. Maddy our server was witty and dealt with our nonsense like a true pro. Definitely coming back.“
“There's a good amount of parking in their lot that runs alongside the Farmington Trail. There's indoor and outdoor seating available. Inside is comfortable, with a diner atmosphere in a well maintained and clean restaurant. The food is very good with reasonable sized servings at good prices. Definitely will be back!“
“Nice clean place, very good service and delicious food with good price.Coffee could have been a bit stronger ???Vegetarian options: I didn't look at the vegetarian option, but I'm sure there's plenty if you just don't order meat ??♂️Kid-friendliness: I saw parents with kids eating there. They have tall chairs for kids.“
“Love this place. From the decor to the service to the freshhhh margs (fresh squeezed lime juice). We've been here a couple times and will continue to come back. The food is also amazing and love their diverse menu, makes it easy to go there with anyone !“
“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!“
“Not sure why but we hadn't been here in years. Last night's dinner was fantastic in terms of the staff, the food, the service, the environment, everything. Definitely will be back on a more regular basis. Cannot recommend the food quality enough.“
“Came here for the first time after living in the area for 30 years. It was a fundraiser and was pleasantly surprised how good the food was. This is a local establishment that has many loyal customers, especially during Saint Patrick. They had eggplant rotini , it was delicious. They also had stuffed mushrooms. That were very good. They also had two versions of stuff, potato skins, and breaded fried fried chicken. They were good. Nice small local place to gather and eat good bar food.“
“As a born and raised Meriden resident. I like to appreciate steamed cheeseburgers are native to Connecticut and that Kevin has made a successful franchise with respects to Ted's. I used to visit the bar that serve these same burgers I like the new taste the cheese blend. And how the business has grown. the employees are always warm . The location on East main is quick easy and always satisfying“
“A tiny take out only shop. There is no place to sit, no WC. The salad is very good though, fresh, ample size, great mix of vegetables and lettuce, flat bread, dressings. The drink menu is very good as well.The place is expensive, though. 12$ for a salad is a bit high. 6$ for a drink. But the food is healthy and tastes quite good.Service was fast, but a line forms faster. Expect to wait. Service was terse, not friendly, but that might be the pressure of the line.They is only street parking. The place is close to Yale, so there is lots of traffic. Order ahead if you can.“
“Food, service, ambiance, and cost were excellent. 6 dinner, 2 apps, 12 cocktails. I had the veal chop special and was delicious and a huge portion. The leftovers were even great a few days later, rewarmed, in the oven, not the microwave. Old school Italian feel with original dishes. Definitely recommend.“
“This is a small Eatery that you would pass by without even knowing. I've eaten here before and totally forgot about it. The gentleman cooking my food, I assume to be the owner, has a great way of doing business. On this particular day, he did everything himself, and there were a few people eating. He made homemade chicken pot pie in a bowl with a toasted bread topping. It was actually really good.I found it to be a little pricey, but what a great lunch. Something you're not going to get anywhere else“
“This is the place for you if you appreciate excellent customer service, savory, delicious food that tastes like momma made it, and a good laugh with great people. Cannot say enough about what a wonderful little place this is. Thank you Sara and Karen for cooking it with love every single time.“
“I cannot say enough good things about the team at mill pond. Our event was executed flawlessly. The food was phenomenal and captured a wide range of dietary needs. I was also thrilled they raise their own cattle and use a local farm for many other menu items. The atmosphere was charming and the restaurant is overall Impeccably cared for. Highly recommend for large family dinners, functions, or even a night out!!Vegetarian options: Farm Veggies!! Delicious Vegetarian pasta!Parking: Multiple lotsKid-friendliness: Beautiful atmosphere with interesting relics to show kids.Wheelchair accessibility: All covered ramps for entries, almost no stairs except inside“
