“We were there last weekend with friends and all the food and drinks were delicious. I brought home the reeses wings and my son wasnt a fan only because he said chocolate and chicken dont go together. lol“

“CHANGE YOUR PACKAGING

Your beer is good, damn good. Y'know what isn't good? The can it comes in. I was asked by an employee if what I was buying was even beer because the stuff you wrap around your cans is seriously unappealing. I can't imagine it's cheap either. 99% of stickers look better than the wrap on your cans, really, just a sticker would be better.

The meat of this: a fully colored can doesn't make people think beer, it makes people think soda or hard seltzer, case and point the liquor store clerk who literally didn't know if it was beer when I checked out because the packaging is so weird. If the can gets even slightly bent in your hands, like even just a little spring from picking it up, you get this icky feeling of crunching plastic due to the wrap on the can. I'm sure a simple sticker would be cheaper than this considering brewers large and small use those instead. This packaging is terrible. This packaging is literally good for nothing, it lacks shelf appeal, it feels awful, and there's no way it's cheaper than a simple sticker. Even if you kept the same all-black design, it'd still be more recognizable as beer with a sticker instead allowing more of the metal to show near the top and bottom. This packaging is bad and beyond that I can't imagine it isn't an unnecessary expense considering how both large and small breweries label their beer. If you want something more fancy then invest in printing directly onto the cans like bigger breweries (or smaller ones with more successful beers), or if want something less expensive that actually looks and feels decent then switch to stickers, this plastic wrap looks pathetic and feels worse so right now you're kinda picking the worst of both worlds paying more for a worse product.

Why 5 stars? Great beer, I like supporting nearby businesses, and all things considered a gripe about labeling/packaging is minor especially in this case. Don't let it stop you from getting their beer or visiting this brewery, instead buy the beer and visit the brewery but also leave a backhanded 5 star review about how their packaging blows“

“The day was perfect. They do a great job getting things right, we had almost 200 guests. I was so happy with our choice. We took a chance and got lucky and had a summer like day in May. But the tent and bar area are lovely as well..it was a wonderful place for a wedding reception that fit the outdoor/garden aesthetic. Anna is awesome as a coordinator! She is busy but knows what she is doing. Five stars for sure!“

“I’ve been going to Tipsy Tomato since it opened. Recently, they have decreased the size significantly of their large pizzas. The toppings increased in price by 33% and there seem to be fewer toppings on the pizza. If you order a two topping pizza half pepperoni and half peppers you get charged for two full topping prices. Was always a favorite of their pizza, but I am quickly losing my enthusiasm.“

“Holy cannoli! Just stopped for the first time...what is wrong with me!?!?? This place is OUTSTANDING. If you haven't been here yet, run! And if you have, run!! Everything was AMAZING. Everyone was right. It is the absolute best around! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Awesome falafel, great French fries w/ amazing seasoning. Grandma said the home made lemonade was perfect.“

“Good food. Great service.“

“Been coming here since they opened years ago. Food and service are always on point.

Excellent food, good staff, and the decor is well appointed.

I had the Gun ManDu fried (aka gyoza / pot stickers) and the assorted dishes they bring for appetizers, and the JjajangMyeon (Noodles with Black Soy Bean sauce) for the entree.

With a beer and my wife's dinner of O jing-eo Dolsotbibimbab (Squid Stone Pot Bibimbap) it came to under $50.

We will be returning with friends and family.“

“Great little restaurant, lively and colorful atmosphere. The only change I would make would be to make the pinchos appetizer a main meal with a bigger portion of pinchos and maybe some rice. They were so delicious. Also, the churros did not taste freshly made to order, they were cold and hard. Would not get those again. My plantain crusted cod was cooked perfectly and the coconut lobster sauce was delicious with it. Great menu.“

“Amazing beer! Wonderful staff! Lots of fun events and great food trucks! Did I mention amazing beer?“

“Having a passion with delicious healthy food I found the ideal place « Urban Greek Kitchen ».The food was amazing, very pleasant to all my senses. The rich colors, the tantalizing smell the mouth watering taste worked all together to create a most fulfilling experience! The owner, Sofia, is a wonderful hostess! Service and cleanliness were impeccable! i simply loved it!“

“The best friendly service with a smile and best pizza around ???❤“

“My husband surprised me with a dinner gathering at Red Lotus. Immediately upon walking in we were greeted by two staff members and the owner Larry. Gary was our server who I must say was by far the best server we have ever had. Gary and Larry truly made us feel like we were the only ones there (they had a full house) the food was delicious we were a party of 8 and all had different plates none of us were disappointed with our food. The presentation of the plates were beautiful! Larry made sure to come to our table and assure we were satisfied with our food and service took time out to talk with us and build a relationship. Thank you Red Lotus from an amazing experience and phenomenal customer service.“

“Milford, CT Came here with my daughter for the first time. Definitely awesome place.“

“this place is amazing! best chicken parm ! I brought my mom there whos full Italian and is very picky with Italian food. she's never satisfied. She said it was the best food she's ever had. They were very accommodating to her as she can't walk far and opened up the side door so she could easily get to her table. highly recommend this place!“

Parking: right by the restaurant or across the street plenty of parking“

“Food was decent... beer options are lacking. Nothing local, nothing on tap. Lobster roll is over priced and served on a baguette but decent overall. Mussels and clams were quite good. The country music was distracting. Would not return.“

“Great restaurant. We just celebrated my wife's birthday in their private area. We had 21 guests and the food and service was excellent. The staff was very attentive and everything was served timely, hot and delicious.“

“Great food and service. Love it..“

“We’ve been going here for about 4 years and are never disappointed. My husband and I love their Spanish options (best huevos rancheros I’ve been able to find outside of New York), but they also have eggs, pancakes, and other “classic” items. And this is just their breakfast menu! Their lunch items are just as delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly, service is fast even on a busy day, we LOVE all of the sauces on every table, it’s always clean, and they add new dishes pretty often to keep their menu fresh. Can’t say enough good things about them!“

“Great Food breakfast or lunch, reasonable prices. but most of all you feel like you're among your best friends. Outdoor seating also.“

“We ate here last night and the food and service were wonderful! What was even more wonderful was the customer service when I left my purse at the restaurant. I called later that night to see if it was there. They were so kind and kept my bag and made arrangements to get it to me this morning before they opened. Would definitely go back!“

“I dined at Rawa one time but I recomme the lamb chops, pita, spicy chicken wings, chicken breast on a bed of lentils.“

“Small, cute diner a few minutes off the highway with many vegan options. Worth the stop if you are looking to stay on your vegan diet. Fast, friendly service. Good quality. The vegan burger was tasty, loaded with toppings, and filling. It’s worth the stop. Updated from previous review on 2025-05-24“

“Awesome! Cool peeps. Local craft.“

“This restaurant is lmost hidden in a small strip mall, just a quarter mile from the Orange West Haven line, this family run, friendly Taqueria is definitely a hidden gem. As you walk inside the vibrant colors and ambience surround you with hand painted Mexican scenes on the tables, carved colorful chairs and warmth from the friendly staff. There are only about 12 or so tables. The food servings are generous and full of fresh vegetables, cheese and delicious well cooked meat. It is a great place for a relaxed meal or take-out. Support this easily accessible Post Road family business and enjoy!!“

“The Thai Salad is my favorite!!“

“This was a wonderful experience for my stepson and I. Christy was probably the nicest waitress I have encountered in my life. Answered all questions we had, made accommodations requested by a 6 year old with 0 hesitation or annoyance, the food was great and came out as quickly as the bread, my stepson had requested an additional side not listed on the kids menu and she didn't even bat an eyelash making it happen for him. Fairly priced, amazing atmosphere, they deserve all the extra recognition they've been getting lately and then some!! We will definitely be back, time and time again.“
