“Great Chill Place To Hang Out Or Throw Darts. The Workers Bobbi And Emily Are Amazing! Every Time I Go There They Give Me Great Service. They Play My Favorite Movie Nacho Libre Whenever I Went Although I Haven't Seen It Recently But 8/10 Times It's On And I'll Grab My Pizza, Beer, And Nuggets Which Is Also Pretty Good

10/10 Highly Recommend“

“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?“

“What an outstanding pub people are great food is fantastic. I gave it five star.“

“Excitement, Kareokee, family“

“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.“

“🥂🍹🍷 súper lindo el Ambiente“

“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.“

“I love coming by! Owner is really friendly and makes incredible drinks. You can play your own music in the touch tunes. If you’re the type that likes their drink to be sweet and can’t taste alcohol but get drunk fast, this is your place! 🤩incredible prices!!! My go-to place every time“

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

“This Place is great to unwind! Friendly service with a wonderful selection of Libation. The crowd is a mixed Young and Mature there's Enough room to dance and smoking outside. Music is a Awesome of contemporary and old school classics. Usually a live D.J on Fridays as well as low key really good food when offered. You can expect this place to get crowded fast.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“I can't say enough about this amazing place. The sisters have knocked it out of the park. Loving the new seasonal menu and weekly specials. Also - HELLO Happy Hour! Always something great to do. Music on Mondays, specialty dinners on Tues, Wed game night, Thurs trivia and thats BEFORE the weekend!“

“The Mexican food is to die for there nachos are especially amazing“

“hot girls fun people and no hassles“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Always a great experience.“

“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?“

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

“Could use a revised changed up menu items!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great place to chill, eat and listen to bands.“

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

“This hidden gem in Milford has the best (and I seriously mean THE BEST) chicken caesar wraps I have ever had! Menu has such great food, innovative sides, and the staff is always so kind. Drinks, food, atmosphere is always great. Please show love this to local business!“
