22 Best Wine Bars near Branford

“Excellent for a night out with friends!“

“Fabulous food and amazing staff“

“I feel like the quality has gone down Since they first opened, Although much has improved since then
like they have a full dinner menu. The pours seem less generous, but prices have remained the same, so I guess that is the alternative to raising the price of a glass. That said, during our last visit we were a larger party (about 10), and it felt like we were being rushed out. I understand there may have been another reservation coming up, but they began clearing every dish and even water glasses before we had paid, and we were done, drinking and eating, which made the experience feel uncomfortable and abrupt.“

“Cozy atmosphere, really extensive wine list and comprehensive tasting notes. I love to do a wine flight (3 2 oz. glasses) and do a blind tasting with a partner, then try to match them to the wine based off of the tasting notes. We also tried the chocolate lava cake, which was decent and a good pairing with the drinks. Service was attentive and excellent. A wonderful experience overall, and an underrated gem in the neighborhood.“

“This place is the best restaurant outside of Naples Italy. My wife and I have been to Naples many times and Zenelli’d reminds us so much of the restaurants in Naples.“

“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!!“

“@shellandbonesoysterbarandgrill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful birthday party with my beloved wife. Her request this time was seafood, and I indulged her with this excellent decision. I highly recommend it. Especially the BOUILLABAISE 49 Scallops + Mussels + Manila Clams + Rock Shrimp + Black Bass in their red sauce was delicious! The salmon and the kids' meal were good, even though it was a Monday, the place and the bar had a great atmosphere. Food: BOUILLABAISE $49 Scallops + Mussels + Manila Clams + Rock Shrimp + Black Bass (It was delicious, my darling) SALMON WITH PEPITA COVER $40* Spiced Pumpkin Puree + Broccoli Rabe + Tomatillo Green Sauce DRINKS: Mojitos Margaritas We're almost there; An excellent place, we loved it so much that we made a reservation through Opentable, which never fails. I recommend going to Bajada del Sol. I highly recommend it. Shell & Bones Oyster Bar and Grill“

“Absolutely delicious food in tremendous service!“

“I have been working in the wine industry on and off as well as have experienced a majority of wineries/vineyards in CT where I find their wine is great quality, owners are friendly and prioritize customer service/experience, and they are dog friendly and outside food friendly. Overall a great place to visit and no place like it in New Haven County. 5 stars!“

“we went today and of course I had to have the clam pizza. It was amazing! Our waitress Charlotte was so informative and had a great personality. She has been there for 33 years and was so fun to talk to. Can't wait to go back!!“

“One of our favorite spots“

“Best air conditioning in the state! Sounds pretty good too.“

“Very quiet restaurant in hotel lobby. Service was very friendly and attentive. Slightly overpriced for quality of food. Menu was very limited, with really the option for dinner being a burger, taco, or turkey sandwich. Food was very good and not greasy. However, it was expensive for the quality.“

“Food was great, and service was good. Harvest was recommended by an employee of the Yale Art Museum. Great choice for a great lunch.“

“Finally, a coffee shop where the baristas are as excellent as their coffee. Great spot.“

“Third visit. Consistently terrific! Delicious food, fabulous service by friendly and professional staff. Highly recommend!“

“they have coffee and stuff“

“Awesome foods, staffs very friendly and accomodating.“

“First time here & Booked a party for 32 last night. They were helpful with the booking, queries and accommodating with requests and putting the decor out. The food was amazing and complimented by all and the manager/owner who looked after us were attentive. Great evening for all - thank you will be returning!“

“The carbonara is THE BEST!!! I WILL NEVER EAT ANY OTHER 😋“

“Buena comida Colombiana en East Haven!“

“Simply put, the food, staff and restaurant are nothing short of amazing. My husband and I hosted an event this past weekend (~100 guests) and it was a literal dream! THE FOOD! I was a little nervous when we settled on a buffet-style for the main entree but that worry was immediately thrown out the window when the first person up said, wait when can I get seconds?! EVERYONE has commented on how much they loved the food. Many of our guest list is from out of town, but are petitioning that a open a location opens in Northern New Jersey The staff was just amazing during the event; almost every single person I have spoken to since Saturday has brought up an interaction where 'the staff clearly cares' ::insert story of staff member just actually giving a heck about a situation:: from a question answered, to a compliment given, and everything in between, the people who worked the event were rockstars. Brittney, their catering & event manager, is worth a million dollars; she cares, she's passionate, she is kind, attentive (she definitely works 24/7 as she emailed/ texted back no matter the day or time), & is just all around an amazing person. I will never not include her and working with her in my memory of our Reception. She and Deon will not steer you wrong in making selections that will work and will be memorable. All-in-all, if you are looking to host your event in a place where people take pride in their work, are dedicated to the customer and the food is real, feel it in your soul food, then Olives and Oil is your place!!“
