“This is one of my favorite restaurants when visitng the University of New Haven ! Great food and great service !”
“I’ve been a regular here since Day 1 and I can’t believe I didn’t post a review until NOW!! What can I say, it’s the best seafood in West Haven HANDS DOWN! The oysters are fresh, the lobster rolls are the best, and the mussels for 2 is so flavorful. The staff are like family and welcome you with open arms. For drinks, I recommend the manhattans, old fashioned, espresso martinis and dirty martini with the blue cheese stuffed olives (YUM!). Their Moby’s lager is delicious and there’s a great selection of tequila. The bartenders are the best around! My favorite dishes are the lobster Mac, Lobster Rolls, Tuna Sushimi Oysters, Oysters Rockefeller, and tuna tartare. Trust me, you will not be disappointed with your dining experience! Nick and the crew will take good care of you. I’m a customer for life ❤️”

“Really good food, great portions, great service and great prices”
“This restaurant is lmost hidden in a small strip mall, just a quarter mile from the Orange West Haven line, this family run, friendly Taqueria is definitely a hidden gem. As you walk inside the vibrant colors and ambience surround you with hand painted Mexican scenes on the tables, carved colorful chairs and warmth from the friendly staff. There are only about 12 or so tables. The food servings are generous and full of fresh vegetables, cheese and delicious well cooked meat. It is a great place for a relaxed meal or take-out. Support this easily accessible Post Road family business and enjoy!!”

“Small, cute diner a few minutes off the highway with many vegan options. Worth the stop if you are looking to stay on your vegan diet. Fast, friendly service. Good quality. The vegan burger was tasty, loaded with toppings, and filling. It’s worth the stop. Updated from previous review on 2025-05-24”

“I got this delivered to my workplace and the service was so good. I could see on my watch that they were communicating with me about the delivery. I couldn't look until I was done working. But the food was super good and the company was super good about communication.”
“We dined in last night (10/12/23) we had a party of 5. Our server was top notch, our meals were extremely delicious and outstanding in their presentations. The photos do not do any justice. I had Shrimp Fra Diavolo, Pinot Grigio White and my wife and I shared the Carrot Cake.”
“Stowe’s never disappoints! Great food. Friendly staff. We went there with a party of 7 and were the first customers of the day after a school graduation. They start taking orders at 11am and everything was fresh and made perfect to order. As always we will absolutely return again. Hands down the best seafood in West Haven!”

“My fave Chinese takeout spot in West Haven! I've ordered from Lucky Kitchen several times, and the food is delicious every time. The prices are unbeatable- tons of lunch specials for under $10. The man at the counter is always super friendly, too. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great takeout place.
Parking: There's a free lot right by the sports bar, so you only have to walk less than a block to reach the restaurant.”
“The owner Shawn has been a staple to our family for 10yrs! The food is always consistent, most AMAZING eggplant parm subs!! My kids devour the pizza! There’s nothing I’ve had in 10yrs that’s been bad! And Casa Bianca pays it forward for our community every chance they get! Always extremely helpful and friendly, they make you feel like part of the family! They’re amazing!!!”

“I recently ordered a Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla & wings from Zee's. If you like spicy, this Quesadilla is for you! It was more than worth the price; it had great flavor, & it was packed! That was one big Quesadilla! I shared it with someone, because it was too much for me. Oh by the way, the garlic parm wings, & mild wings were delicious too! Don't sleep on Zee's food. It's fantastic. Also of note, check out their specialty drinks. Always something new & delicious to try!”
“I’ve been dining in and taking out from here for years. This particular Dunkin always has the best staff. Workers move on and the new ones always seem to fit with the old. Super fast service even when problems arise. For the amount of foot traffic, the inside is always in order, stocked and clean. When I travel and visit other Dunkin’s, I always find myself wishing I was at this store. Thank you for consistently providing great service.”
“I have been getting takeout from Golden Island for many years now
I've ordered many items and the food has always been delicious and fresh
The chef is skilled and she is very nice
The only criticism I have is the interior of the restaurant needs to be freshened up
Otherwise the food and service is excellent”
“I love a nice Dunkin coffee. However this particular Dunkin doesn't perk their coffee long enough. I know it's because they are extremely busy, but what you get is a cup of hot water!! It's never good in the morning!! So I no longer go to this location first thing in the morning. But if you visit after noontime, the coffee is delicious!! Just don't go in the morning unless you want a cup of hot water!!
Parking: Lots of space to park”
“Went there last Saturday, August 3rd at 12:30 pm and had the best time ever. I spoke to Riley prior to going asking about the chocolate martinis and she told me that Allisa made really good ones. When we got there to celebrate a girl's day out Riley was there, our waitress Shelly pointed her out so I could go over and introduce myself. Not only did EVERYONE treat us like we had been going there for years and were family, but Alissa made REALLY GREAT DRINKS and the FOOD WAS FANTASTIC. My sister had a couple cosmos, and my other friend and I had the chocolate martinis which were WONDERFUL!!! We had chicken tacos, fries and the Burbon pork belly bites were SOOOO GOOD you would want to slap anyone who tried to grab any. This was truly a good time and although it was busy, loud and was SOOOOOO MUCH FUN because everyone was fabulous. I will look forward to going back next time I'm in Connecticut.”
“I dream about their eggplant parm. & pasta fagioli. Simply the best. Lou & Lorenzo Coletta make the best food ever. Everything is fresh and handmade. Great people.”

“THE difference between me living a healthier life and not. Edibolic is delicious, interesting, and has great variety. There is not one week I dont see a couple of meals that are different from what I would normally eat, that I WANT to eat. Nutritious balanced meals that allow me not to have to worry about what fast food I'm going to wait in line only to regret eating later. The prices are better than fast food , while the food is obviously healthier. I really cant say enough good things and wish I had found this company earlier. I say this with allsincerity, let Edibolic Kitchen help you live a better, healthier life.”
“So I typically have a great sandwich here, but the other day I placed an order over the phone for my grandfather’s birthday, and when I showed up too early to pick up the order I thought I heard they didn’t have one type of meats for the ‘Sweet Italian Combo’ (of course my grandfather’s sandwich, out of all of them ordered). I thought nothing of it as nobody said a word to me from behind the counter. Grabbed the orders and paid, get home and it was a grilled chicken sandwich with ham (random combination) BUT was labeled as the Sweet Italian. It all made sense now, and I was not mistaken from what I heard. The Provy Brother’s would of never of pulled that ‘stunt’ and would have been transparent that they did not have the available meat(s) for the sandwich instead of making whatever they decided AND labelling it as the requested sandwich when it was not. Yes, the sandwich was still good, but imagine my grandfather’s surprise on his 86th birthday that his favorite sandwich he ordered from his favorite sandwich shop was not what he ordered or wanted on his special day. Please don’t EVER do that again to anyone. That was messed up and you all know what you did. And yes, we will give you all another chance as your sandwiches are always great. Just please be honest to your loyal customers.”
“Reliably excellent. Loved the choices of margaritas, all delicious. Food was top notch, with friendly, attentive service to boot. Since opening, La Palapa has provided a consistent and dependable culinary experience which keeps us coming back. Thanks for the memories.”
“Always great, very good sushi and atmosphere is always good for any family of children.”
“First time eating here tonight I had the lobster roll it was very good. I would definitely eat here again”
“This location has a wonderful atmosphere, everyone so friendly, respectful the owner rocks-very cordial, And does not mind getting his hands dirty if need to. Yesterday he was greeting, setting up tables everything- this is establishment gives you that cultural vibe and home feeling atmosphere”

“Only the Best is and will always be awesome. The owner is amazing and very hsrd working. Dealing with the public can be difficult at times. And when they dont get what they want they write a bad review. Shame on them Where can you go and order delicious food at a very reasonable price. For those who complained Please go some where else and pay more money and eat crab. If you havent worked in a restaurant you have no idea how hard it is!!! Again great job only the best. And thank you for all of your delicouis food.”
