“The Best, and I’m a Blue Devil Westie girl. :)“

“Love the new make over. The service and food are great!! However the noise level is so uncomfortable and the was not a full seating. So bad that the hostess had to go outside when answering the calls. Highly recommend sound proofing panels.“

“Had lobster shack 2 times both where take out. 1st Time was very good got the lobster roll and clam chowder lobster grilled cheese also very good. Went back a few months later not so good lobster roll and lobster grilled cheese very light on the lobster came tonight and all I can say is wow place looks awesome beautifully decorated for Christmas excellent food and appetizers wait staff was great also got an ornament and a 10$ gift card which was nice will definitely be back again“

“Lobster Mike 🦞Awesome guy and the lobster is delectable! Had won this years prize and went with making lobster rolls. The lobster meat provided was sweet and lobster rolls were the best ever ! Thank you, Mike“

“I have been ordering takeouts at Il Forno for the past seven. I started with bacon and onions pizza which was great. I then changed to eggplant pizza and it has to be the best I have ever had. Now I have moved on to shrimp marinara with linguine and I can't tell you how great this dish is. The shrimp are so large and fresh and the sauce is excellent. The filet of sole must weigh at least 2 pounds and my husband gets it every week. The filet is enough for two meals and so is the shrimp. Thank you Il Forno for making our Friday takeout a special treat.“

“I literally can’t believe how incredible the food was. This is what casual Chinese used to taste like back in the day. It was as if I was a child tasting boneless spare ribs and crab rangoon for the very first time.. The spare ribs were charred and tender and the rangoon was made with actual crab as opposed to the typical “crab flavored” cream cheese. The pork fried rice was also remarkably flavorful with large cubes of pork and perfectly cooked onion. Those who have complained about the food specifically must be miserable Karens. This is my new favorite casual Chinese spot. 10/10“

“Underrated by far. The food here is excellent in every way and made with care. Highly recommend!“

“Stopped in for their current Friday-Sunday summer special the “Lobster Bomb.” This is a loaded bread bowl with large pieces of lobster, lobster bisque, and served with fries, a side salad, and coleslaw. Totally worth the money ($34.95) for how much food is given. Wish my bread was a little less toasty, but still delicious!Great family spot - classic diner feel inside, serving breakfast all day, many lunch/dinner options, but also great seafood!“

“The food is exceptional…creative and delicious. Great drinks as well. Awesome place.“

“I’ve been meaning to come here for awhile now. I went last week with a friend, and it was amazing! Great food, great drinks, great service. Went back today with my parents. I had a slight issue with my order and they not only rectified it immediately, but went so far as to make it better. My parents loved everything they had, and we’re all looking forward to going back. Bonus: they’re actually open for lunch!“

“Everything was great! My wife and I brought our two kids (14 & 11) there yesterday evening and everyone enjoyed themselves. The oysters, shrimp, and clam chowder couldn’t have been more fresh. Kids enjoyed their lobsters and our steaks were cooked perfectly. Our youngest thought our server Adam looked like Tom Brady lol. All around perfect- thank you!“

“I can't thank you guys enough for such great food for our family get together. Everyone loved the dinner and I had so many compliments on the how good everything was, especially the mac and cheese. It seems that we have found new catering for our family functions, and I can't thank you enough. It saved me much needed time and things were simply delicious. Dealing with Jan was super easy via email and phone with no problems. Extremely accommodating. All in all, one of the best caterings I've ever had to deal with. I would recommend them highly.“

“The General manager was totally awesome. She came out to introduce herself to our table. The hostess "T" was also awesome 😎😎. They made our Birthday Queen 👑 night the best. Well worth the trip 😁😁😉. Definitely A plus service.“

“I moved away but best believe when I come home Kevin’s is the first place I hit up. Love the service staff is friendly, food is AMAZING. Highly recommend… Miss Dot😍“

“Fried shrimp seasoned perfectly and the BEST onion rings ❤️“

“Such a lovely spot. Cute inside, and comfortable. The staff is kind and efficient. They have great vegetarian options, my favorite: the Navratan Korma is fantastic, they make it a little differently than when I’ve had it previously: there’s fruit in it and it adds some really stunning flavors. It’s my favorite dish!! I’ve been here several times and intend to come back. Thank you!!

Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options, I love the navratan korma is my favorite dish!!“

“I've been stopping at the Sandbar for a couple years now, My usual Go to items are whole belly clam rolls or dinner and a Scallop roll or dinner The seafood is always cooked to order, Battered and deep fried and is always delicious While the restaurant might not seem spectacular to some, its a nice place to pop into if you like battered seafood not overcooked but just perfectly cooked its easy to miss leaving elm st if you get on the Kimberly Ave Bridge into New Haven you went past, coming from New Haven cross the bridge and its right at the foot of the bridge on the right side“

“Southington location is amazing!“

“Fantastic clam chowder! Generous portion sizes that leave you feeling satisfied. Very friendly staff and service. We ordered Christmas platters that were perfect for our family celebration. 10/10 recommend“

“At first I was like, “I don’t like seafood boils.” I came here, now I’m hooked, garlic butter spicy, all me. Delish, the best seafood boil compared to others. 😋“

“First time eating here tonight I had the lobster roll it was very good. I would definitely eat here again“

“Quality & Freshness! Your food is made to order in just a few minutes. We like that! Their quantities are kind of large so we always take our leftovers home and heat them up - nice & crispy - in our air fryer. Friendly staff, great service extra clean environment. Overall, a really nice place. It's a 10 out of 10 for us.“

“My server was Johna and she was amazing! Courteous, professional, friendly, and attentive are just a few terms I would use to describe her. The food was absolutely delicious. The portions were huge. Hubby had the fried seafood combo plate. He has never taken a doggy bag and he brought home half his plate. I ordered the hot crab dip with garlic bread as an appetizer and a cup of lobster bisque. We shared the appetizer and it was so delicious. You could tell it was made with lump crab and there was actual lobster claw meat that was in the bisque. I’ve never had it before where you could actually see large pieces of meat. From atmosphere, to service, to taste and quality this was definitely a 10 out of 10. Will definitely be going back! And special thanks to the manager who gave my hubby a piece of carrot cake on the house for our 35th anniversary.“
