Once we arrived, they had cute tables set up for our party with decore that matched our wedding colors. The staff gave us everything we needed and made sure we were taken care of all night long.

The place is modern, new, clean, and welcoming. The food was very good. We had fried artichokes, steak tip tacos, stuffed clams, Caesar salad, Buffalo wings, and meatloaf. Everything is made fresh. Nothing was frozen. Portions were large so we took home leftovers. Pricing is affordable. The waitress was so gracious and attentive. She even brought us drink refills before we even asked. If you find yourself in the area I recommend you try this place.“

“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.“

Kathy and Bruce sold the place, and I hadn't gone to check it out until this passed week... still amazing! The new owner commands the helm and demands perfection; he is ready to please. My wife had a fantastic monitor, fresh and delicious ?. We shared churros and I took some empanadas home; both were spot on. The crowd was fun, the place filled... soccer adorned the screens, and pleasant music filled our ears. Nothing has changed with the decor,, and that's a good thing; if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Vivas is a must do if you are in New Haven, CT and looking for a cool place to eat and socialize. 5 stars ?“

The level of heat is to order, and my wife had the mild Jalfrezi while I upped the spice a bit on my dish. Both were excellent, and the bhajis were crisp and well seasoned. The portions were large enough to leave enough for lunch the next day. I'm sure I would have enjoyed the kheer or a mango lassi, but I left more than full. Next time!“

I ordered the spicy beef ramen with marinated egg, and a bowl of edamame... both were superb.I didn't take a picture of the edamame, but it was prepared very well and had a wonderful taste. Seemed like it was pan cooked with soy sauce and garlic maybe. Either way, it was very good, and I enjoyed my ramen as well.Nice little spot that was a pleasant surprise. The edamame alone would have me return and try a different entree and maybe some sake in a beaker, in the future.“
