“We were visiting the area from out of town and before heading to the airport wanted some breakfast. This place was one of the ones Siri recommended and boy was it spot in. The food was fantastic and generous portions. Our waitress was the best and very helpful getting our orders just right. When in town we will be back for sure!!“

“I honestly am ashamed to say that I’ve lived in East Haven for 22 years and have never had Tollis pizza. Some friends and I were getting together and we were talking about restaurants to go to, and I had mentioned that I had never tried Tollis. We decided to give it a go. And I have never been happier with a decision ever! We had the white clam pizza, we had the Amalfi pizza. And I couldn’t decide which was my favorite. My friends had the Bolognese sauce, which the waitress brought a little bowl so they could try it with some bread before they ordered their entrée! Nice touch! It was fantastic! Our waitress was super attentive, very friendly, we were near where they were making the pizzas and it was fun to watch. An all-around great experience highly highly recommend.!!!!!“

John Davenport's did not disappoint. Fabulous appetizers and the service was impeccable! We had the fried calamari/shrimp and fish taco appetizers. Both were outstanding.  For dinner, we had short ribs and goat cheese salad with grilled shrimp. Both were fantastic. Highly recommend and I will definitely return.“

“I put together a professional event for my approx. 40 direct reports each year. It's basically a day of education and team-building. I had my event catered this year by Cafe George By Paula and they did an EXCELLENT job. The breakfast and the buffet lunch were fantastic and Paula's team provided excellent service without ever disrupting any of the day's activities. I cannot recommend them highly enough!“

“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.“

“Chelsea at the front desk went to extraordinary lengths to help us with a room assignment. Though the hotel is pet- friendly, she worked patiently and thoughtfully to locate a room that would be healthy for us. We both have allergies and asthma. We quickly exited when checking into another hotel for which we had a reservation, because we learned they allowed any all all types of pets. Guinea pigs, rabbits, whatev. Chelsea found us a room at the Courtyard that suited our needs, even at the last minute. Thank you, Chelsea! You took your commitment to customer satisfaction very seriously and did so kindly. Incidentally, though reviews are not stellar for this Courtyard, we found our room to be clean and our needs were met. We would stay there again.“

“Top notch food and cocktails in a relaxed environment with reasonable prices.“

Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible at all. Very popular diner therefore it was a very busy place. I use a walker and could barely fit.“

“Good food, friendly service, standard sports bar atmosphere. Really in a great location, has parking.

They are more than willing to accommodate food change requests, drink menu is extensive.

I will be coming back.

Dietary restrictions: Glad to remove dairy when they can, take out spice where they can, and the food still tastes good.

Parking: A small parking lot in back, at least a dozen spots.

Wheelchair accessibility: Regularly see people with automated wheelchairs hanging out. Ramps present from parking lot, no step up into building. No automatic doors, but they're not heavy.“
