Restaurants near Bethany

“We stopped at this little modest coffee and ice cream shop and it was really nice. We had Cappuccinos and muffins and they were both great. The coffee was really good. One of the best cappuccinos I've had in a while.”

“What a wonderful experience. The staff is welcoming and friendly. We felt right at home. We enjoyed a St Patty’s Day meal — the Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner was amazing. We had a wonderful meal. We will be back for sure!”

“Foods great. Well seasoned. Prices very reasonable. Service is great and I love the selection of chips, fresh cookies and candies as well. Will definitely be back.”

“We order from them very often is our go to for delivery at lunch time the service is great and the good food keeps us going back only two not so great experiences but definitely worth ”

“Great restaurant for either dine in or take out. Their Greek burger is my new favorite burger from any restaurant, omg. It has changed me. I'd add a picture, but it's so good that I always devour it before I even think to take one!Parking: There is plenty of parking at the front and side of the restaurant”

“I'm gonna start with a real bold opener here and say that out of the pizza greats MODERN IS THE BEST, HANDS DOWN. It's not up for debate, it's not an opinion, it's an empirical fact.I have NEVER had a bad experience doing business with them.Dine-in: FIVE STARS.Take-out: FIVE STARS.Their customer service: not even a contest! Always so polite, kind, accommodating, and really care about giving you a positive experience.My favorite nuances withheld in Modern's perfectly cooked dough are:-The subtle sweetness that arrives on the back end of every bite that I believe is in the dough and not the sauce (correct me if I'm wrong).-Their pies produce the absolute perfect bubble.-The dough has a really good bouncy mouthfeel without being overly floppy.-Exceptional sauce, very bright and flavorful.-Good sauce/dough/cheese ratio.-Clutch undercarriage.The best way to measure the worth of any pizza is with a plain cheese pie.I've waited about 3 years, maybe a little more, to post this review. My opinion was formed the moment I tasted the absolute best and it hasn't changed yet. I hope this review helps you to make the right decision when it comes to your pizza patronage.”

“I feel like a lot of people don’t know that there really is an embarrassment of riches of restaurants in New Haven County. If you love good food all you have to do is look around here. Dad is the one who made the reservation at Fair Haven Oyster Club (I’m pretty sure you must make a reservation, the spot is small and if the weather is bad the only seating is the bar and a row of two tops behind the bar). I looked up the menu and it looked pretty SPECTACULAR. Reminder: I don’t eat beef, pork or poultry. Lots of times my choices are somewhat limited when we dine out, not at Fair Haven. WOW. Now, if you don’t eat seafood I’m pretty sure you’re out of luck. I don’t think there was anything vegetarian, let alone vegan. Note: Dad reserved “in the bar” on Resy. Turns out that is stools AT the bar. “Dining room” is the two tops that are right behind the bar. So choose wisely. Outdoor seating I think is weather dependent and we got the most spectacular evening last night. We arrived very early for our reservation because we were out and about anyway and it worked out because they sat us out on the deck overlooking the water and the boats. Hands Down now of the very best settings I have ever dined in (and I have dined all over this country and world). Weather was perfection, beautiful blue sky, big, fluffy clouds;s tide was going out, water was crystal clear; across the Quinnipiac River you could see old homes and an old church; off in the distance I could see the cars and trucks on 91. I LOVED THAT. I was a little worried when they gave us tiny water glasses. I drink water. Plenty of it. But they kept those little glasses full. Which is no mean feat when the place just got progressively busier and also, keeping water glasses filled is a common “weak point” when I eat out. The service here was ON POINT. While Dad was griping about the QR code menu I ordered a Hendrick’s and Tonic. Just because they looked like their cocktail game was strong. FYI, most places make terrible, undrinkable gin and tonics. Not Fair Haven Oyster Club! They served me the perfect G&T, even in the correct highball glass (!!) with super fizzy tonic water (!!!). That G&T set the tone for the rest of the meal…knocked directly out of the park. The menu is broken into Raw (they have an impressive oyster selection and caviar service, if that’s your thing), soups and salads, small plates and large plates. My plan was to eat my way through salads and small plates. I did order Scallop Crudo (olive oil, lemon, salt, herbs) and Tuna Crudo (over foie gras mousse on a brioche cracker) for the table. But then I ate them… Dad ordered Gildas to share (tiny skewers of anchovies, piparra peppers, castelvetrano olives & Mahon cheese). Super fun bar type snack. Things I ate: Fair Haven Clam Chowder. Which really tasted like a very good escarole (it was actually kelp) soup with clams. Baby Butter Lettuces (w/fried oysters, green goddess, bonito). This is EVERYTHING a salad should be. Delicious, filling, fresh, UMAMI. The fried oysters make it a legit meal. Heirloom Tomatoes (w/bottarga): beautiful, delicious tomatoes served in the most Umami-forward way possible. Uni Toast (w/ white shoyu, sesame & chive). I eat A LOT of Uni. Because I eat A LOT of Omakase and Kaiseki in NYC. So, for me? There are better ways to savor Uni. But, again! UMAMI BOMB. And I am always here for the Umami. Mom and Dad ordered the Grilled Black Cod (over cucumber & snap pea salad w/ kelp ponzu & shiso). SNAPS to them for stretching outside their culinary comfort zones after I explained o them that Black Cod is one of the most delicious fish out there and ponzu us right up their alley! This dish is just glorious: Perfectly grilled fish adrift in a sea of incredibly fresh and delicious vegetables. The snap of those snap peas was perfection. For dessert we ordered Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with honey fennel pollen & wild fennel. I. LOVE. Fennel and will eat it in any form. This really did not taste of fennel. But! This was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever h”

“Had to rub my eyes to make sure that I was in New Haven because this restaurant stepped right out of Manhattan. Each dish we enjoyed was recommended by our sever as was the fabulous wine too. The chef introduced himself before seating and checked with us just as our larger plate arrived. He added very much to the overall ambiance.”

“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.”

“A menu like non other. One dish better than then next. It was an absolute pleasure to sample so many fantastic plates. I for one look forward to sharing the experience with friends and family sometime very soon.”

“Spectacular restaurant. Pricey but worth it. The black cod is as good as advertised. Had a ceviche special that was very good. The kale and octopus was solid. Will be back.”

“Phenomenal food on its way to a Michelin star. Very expensive, but worth every penny if you're looking for quality Japanese food. All the staff are Japanese themselves or have lived in Japan at one point, making all the food truly Japanese inspired.Shout out to Charles! Super cool guy and added a lot to the experience.”

“My kids and I love going there. The drinks are great, there's a great selection. They always offer samples and ask if you want to adjust your drink. They are very friendly.Parking: It's in a gas station. Gas station parking.”

“Delicious food, great coffee, and impressively attentive and knowledgeable staff. If you are in the area and haven’t tried Kickstart, you won’t regret visiting!”

“We went to this place with my family To give it a try , we had breakfast , and the food was phenomenal can't believe this small place was transformed to this incredible place .”

“I have been here 5 times now both pick up and sit down. The food has been amazing and the atmosphere is great. The inside is very very clean. I do not like writing negative reviews however the service in person is great but over the phone 1 star would be to much. Both times i ordered over the phone it was very very rushed and I could hardly get a question in. This most recent time the phone call was so rushed and with the language barrier we misunderstood each other. I know that can happen and it is what it is. When i showed up i noticed my order had additional items that i did not ask for. When I told the gentleman i did not ask for them I got the worst attitude and he got so mad. When i said I'm not sure what happened but sorry he snapped at me saying I should have listened better. Normally I would have said whatever and taken the additional items if they are small however it was 3 more things of ramen. I still tipped 20% because maybe he was having a bad day and not tipping is just rude. When he came back after he removed the other items my food was basically thrown at me. I didn't check it and when i got home one of the lids was off and half of the broth leaked out. I was really enjoying a ramen place being so close and i was sending all my friends there. However reguardless of how good their dumplings are i may just drive the extra 20 minutes somewhere else.”

“Olea, is a top tier restaurant, creative and exciting yet grounded in the Spanish way. The drinks were very good I had the signature Manhattan. For appetizer the ceviche mixto was amazing, originally thrown off my the red sauce but WOW it was such a compliment to the lemon and seafood. My main meal was the fish of the day (Black Sea bass) and it was cooked to perfection and placed on butter beans and a mild yet appealing salsa verde. Food was on par for a great restaurant in any major city. We are so happy to have one of this caliber so close to home.”

“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”

“Honestly this pizza is delish and I love that it's family owned. The service is fast and the food is great. Had the sausage grinder and a cheese pizza both were great!”

“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 :-)!”

“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.”

“This is by far the best pizza in southington ct! When we moved here, we were looking for good pizza in Southington and we stumbled upon them. Not only were they the closest pizza near me in southington, they were out favorite after trying a few. The owners are so so sweet too. Try their chicken parm, salads and grinders as well. Really great bang for your buck too!”

“I love that they have a small menu but that it's constantly changing. I've gone already five times and each time, I have not been disappointed. Every item you order is unique and flavorful. The chef must be brilliant.”

“This was my first time having Costa Rican food, and I was thoroughly impressed! As soon as we walked in, service was friendly and welcoming. I went to wash my hands, and the restroom was immaculate. In terms of the food, everything was fresh and flavorful. I got the Chiflijos, which is fried crispy pork belly with rice, beans, avocado, pico de gallo, and tortilla chips. My girlfriend got the Casado which was stewed chicken with rice, beans, sweet plantains, beet/potato salad, and a fried egg on top. The serving sizes were generous and great for the price. When it came to dessert, we couldn't decide between the pistachio cake and the cassava cake. We ultimately decided on the Cassava Cake, but our server also gave us a small piece of the pistachio cake to try. So kind of her. The pistachio cake was sweet, with a tender crumb, but not cloyingly sweet. The cassava cake was the real star! Served warm, with notes of earthy cassava, coconut, and a caramelized top, it was the perfect way to end our meal. We wish them much success, and would love to return to try more things on the menu.”

“Living so close to Sultan’s and driving by for over a decade, I always wondered what it was like. We finally went for dinner and the belly dancing show, and our expectations were exceeded! Everything was absolutely incredible here - their menu is huge, the staff was knowledgeable about the food and very friendly, and the food came out quickly despite how packed they were with multiple large parties. I thought the lamb kofte was so tender and perfectly cooked. You have to order the mixed cold dips platter too! The belly dancing show was so fun to watch, and we had such a great time that we decided to bring my grandfather here 2 weeks later for his birthday. All we can say is we can’t believe we hadn’t visited sooner! We will definitely be regulars now.”

“Not impressed at all. I was so excited to have an isreali style falafel in ct. Traditionally isreali falafel sandwhiches have salad, pickles, falafel and tehina. It was dry with only diced tomatoes and falafel balls in a pita pocket. I don't get it.Update: The owner called back, apologized and refunded me! Thank you!!!”

“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!”

“We love it here- the staff/owners/chefs are so friendly and passionate about the place and it shows. We love that it’s different from the other options on Wooster street while still feeling right at home in the Italian neighborhood- handmade pastas, wood fired options, and don’t get me started on the desserts and cocktails (amazing- and love that they have NA options as well) beautiful ambiance, we can’t wait for the rooftop to open! Definitely our new date night spot.Vegetarian options: Stuffed acorn squash was great as well as pasta selections!”

“I came from Virginia to visit my sister and kept hearing about it and wanted to try it. The Fresh Tomatoes Pizza was excellent! The staff was very friendly. Loved it!!”

“Maybe off the beaten path and a no frills location but TOP NOTCH BBQ. First time trying Roysters but will not be our last. Some of the best BBQ I have had in CT. We tried nearly every meat and side available (Brisket, Pulled Pork, Beef Ribs, Pork Ribs, and Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage plus both cornbreads, smoked mushrooms, baked beans mac n cheese and coleslaw). Every bite was fantastic! Excellent smoke rings and nice bark, great spice to the BBQ sauce. You gotta give it try if in the area. Keep it up Brian, it was nice meeting you Sat. We will see you soon!”
