“I was recently there for dinner with my wife . Food was good , service was excellent and the entire staff could not have been more accommodating and we interacted with a number of them . Nice decor and spoke about coming back in summer months as the venue would be great . Unfortunately we will never go back . When I got the bill I saw that they charged me 75 cents for mustard that I requested for my deluxe burger , I was infuriated . The catsup was free but was blown away by a charge for mustard. Did not complain or even mention it . It was minor on a $60 bill plus a 25% tip . But the fact that someone would nickel and dime you like that said I will take my business elsewhere . Can you imagine doing that?“

“It was magical. I tried something they called “Jamison”. 10/10 definitely do it again.“

“Always a Good Time !! Food, service, and cocktails 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“great place good food and good live music“

“Nicole was amazing !!! She was Great … very attentive and got every order correct. Thank you Nicole from Hook and Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar“

“I stopped in on a Wednesday night (during Yale commencement) and it was packed. The bartender, Michael, was alone. On a normal night handling a bar alone is already impressive, but with how packed it was, he was straight up masterful. I was incredibly impressed with how calmly and professionally he handled himself. Even with it being as hectic as it was, he was still very kind, patient and charismatic. Truly extraordinary.“

“We happened to stumble into Elm Diner by chance, and what a find it turned out to be. The moment we walked in, the bright, welcoming atmosphere and spotless space immediately stood out. Then came Nicole, our waitress, greeting us with a genuine smile that made us feel like we’d been coming there for years.

The menu is impressively extensive, offering something for everyone. When our salad arrived, it was fresh, crisp, and generous just like the rest of the meal. Our dishes were flavorful and satisfying.

Nicole was exceptional, and the entire staff added to the experience with their friendliness and energy. There’s a real sense of camaraderie here that you don’t find everywhere.

If you’re anything like me, this place will set the bar for every diner you visit afterward. Every once in a while, you come across a restaurant that truly has it all, and Elm Diner is that rare gem.

Do yourself a favor and go experience it.
Thank you, Nicole. We won’t forget you.“

“Gusto is absolutely FANTASTIC! My family went there yesterday for my mother's birthday and we all thoroughly LOVED it. The food is incredibly delicious and well-portioned. Our server, especially, was really wonderful, very peppy, caring and attentive. Don't know her name but she is around 4' 11" - 5' 2", wears eyeglasses and is of Asian descent. She's really terrific, as are the chefs. Been wanting to visit Gusto for several years. Well worth the wait.“

“Best bar in West Haven. I mean if you are going to dance and pay for overpriced shots then no. This is not your place. If you are looking for a bar where everyone knows your name and the beer is always cold and served right then this is your place.“

“Cuppy's is a great neighborhood bar and their staff are very friendly.“

“Bolands is sort of like the Mos Eisley cantina from star wars, and I mean that in the most endearing way. If you like getting drunk and playing pool with some of the craziest, kookiest, and disagreeable characters you'll ever meet, this is your place. Everyone should try it at least once.“

“As the owner of Hollywood DJs & Productions, its always great when you get to work with a great staff for a clients wedding. Anna and her staff we professional, detailed, and great to work with for a wedding we did last night. The collaboration made the night flow and great an amazing experience for the couple. Looking forward to working with Anna and her team again.“

“Today was my first time there the wings were excellent the 2 bartenders I didn’t catch the to girls names but they were awesome they had time to talk to us and laugh Also. we will definitely be back Thank you Sal 10/23/25“

“This place is amazing! I’ve had such a great experience every time I’ve been here. The atmosphere is always fun, welcoming, and full of energy. The staff is incredibly friendly and works hard to make sure everyone has a great time. You can tell they truly care about their customers.

I know some people compare it to the newer, more expensive clubs, but not everyone is looking for a super fancy or high-end place. Sometimes all you want is great music, a fun crowd, good drinks, and a place where you can actually enjoy yourself—and this club has all of that.

One thing I especially love is how much room there is to dance. It’s a nightclub, after all! The lighting and party atmosphere make the whole experience even more exciting, and the music always keeps the energy up. The drinks are great, and the bartenders are always friendly and quick.

This club has been around for many years, and I think that says a lot. Businesses don’t stay open for decades unless they’re doing something right and have loyal customers who keep coming back. It’s great to see that they’re continuing to improve the place while still keeping the fun atmosphere that so many people enjoy.

If you’re looking for a fun night out with good music, great drinks, friendly people, and a welcoming environment, I definitely recommend checking this place out. I always have an amazing time here and can’t wait to come back!“

“The food is excellent, so full of flavor!“

“Me and my co worker went yesterday for the first time, let me tell you. Service 10 out of 10, music fire playlist, food 10 out of 10 everything great and them drinks 💯. I will be back today and this will me 1 of my spots I go too. Plus mainly customer service 💯💯💯“

“New menu did not disappoint! Great food, atmosphere and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon out. Happy to have this gem in our backyard in BF 🙂“

“yes, ordered a pork chop at dinner , I thought it was 12 ounces and it was 22 oz. so big I ate it for 5 days. moving back to Shelton, I now go there all the time I love it. you should come to love it too. great hometown people“

“We had the most wonderful experience at Caloroso Eatery & Bar. Unbeknownst to me, my family planned a surprise birthday party and had it at Caloroso’s in early December. Because the weather was still good, the party took place in the Sky Terrace…the space was very inviting and large enough to accommodate the 33 of us! Ashley and others of the Caloroso team made sure that no one went thirsty or hungry! The buffet of chicken parm, chicken marsala, pasta, salad, and more was totally delicious and plentiful! The large screen in the room made it possible for all to see the birthday trivia game through which I relived lots of happy memories and milestones! I had no idea what was waiting for me when I walked up the stairs and went through the doors into the Sky Terrace…and I’ll never forget the SURPRISE experience! Thank you, family, and thank you Caloroso team for helping to make the day a cherished lifelong memory!!“

“Always a great experience.“

“First time in last night and couldn’t have had a better experience. Greeted immediately by Jayson and his wife Ara. Had a Korean bowl which was awesome after a long day of work travel. The Rasson tables had brand new cloth and played excellent and demands precision. Staff was friendly and service was excellent. Couldn’t recommend more and as a fairly decent player, nowhere I would rather stop in. In fact I’d drive hours to play there any day. Not to mention getting to meet one of the best ever to play.“

“Quite good food and service. Very well executed on basic fare that left me delightfully surprised. The atmosphere lacks polish but is clean and friendly. It’s a place that stands on food and reputation, so if you want a reliable bite and a beer, I would recommend.“

“great pizza I definitely recommend them I like their homemade sauce pizza sauce and I love their bacon pizza it's real bacon not the fake stuff in their pepperoni is good too on the pizza I get other times when I have gone there“

“🥦 Rabe & sausage..THE BEST ❤️“

“Been here a number of times for lunch. Fried clams are very good, soups good. Tartar sauce very mild, very disappointing-ketchup works but why such a continuous let down?“

“great food good prices great people awesome times.“

“I don’t typically leave reviews and I will always recommend Colony Grill as it is my favorite pizza! However, the past few times I have ordered from Milford colony it’s like eating a tortilla- tonight I ordered there and the pizza was even thinner - the quality of the pizza has been going downhill for a while now yet the quantity of toppings available have been increasing. Please, stick to what you know and bring back the amazing pizza I know this is. Paper thin tonight, not a lot of sauce mostly cheese and my pizza wasn’t even sliced. Very disappointed - but I refuse to give up on Colony!“

“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.“

“Hands down, some of the BEST pizza I’ve ever had! We ordered 2 pies (Cheese and The Max), and between the 4 of us, DESTROYED every slice! Joe has a talent that can’t be taught - you either have it, or you don’t. JOE has IT - and his Pizza Pies are his Masterpieces!“

“My favorite summertime go to place for amazing lobster rolls! Love everything about Dock 34.“

“The Rathskeller is a comfortable neighborhood restaurant with good food. The new owners, Kate and Nicole, work hard to make it a great place!“

“So after running around town looking for a club or a bar to hang at for my out of town family we found this place. It was a cool chill mature crowd. Dj was good I didn't get to try the food that's why the low stars but I hear the food is good. Plenty of space to hang and drink and also dance.“

“Bottom line.. favorite place to go..“

“Came to do trivia visiting from San Diego, CA. I gotta say what a good time! They have great food, greater drinks and impeccable service. Our server was Michelle and she was fantastic! We ordered the fish and chips and the turkey sub with fries. Both were delightful! We came in last place for trivia and got a consolation prize! ? Great times, good food, good people. Highly recommend for a casual night out for food and drinks!“

“Best fish and chips I've had in a long time. Huge portion (even for the 1 piece portion size). Thin, perfectly crispy breading, firm, flaky fish. Old bay seasoning was a nice touch. The food for our party came out maybe 10-15 minutes after ordering. The server was attentive.“

“Great time and great drinks!“

“great food good music pool table darts and cornhole fun times“
