Memorial brunch. 20 person gathering. Room with a bar. We had table of photos; family movie clips and slides. Plenty of room to reacquaint and chat.
Excellent bar and table service.
Good menu offerings. I had mushrooms risotto perfectly made. Sandwich, entree, salad choices - I can't remember everything. Wonderful mimosa. Table of dessert pastry and cookies.

This is a very large and comfortable bar and restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating on Whitney avenue in Hamden Connecticut.

We had a dinner meeting party in this establishment and the food was really good and the place looked huge so you can get reservations or not probably still be seated on a busy night. Great for large parties or family as well I'm sure

The service was the best Gabby was our server and did a lot to make us comfortable and communicated to the kitchen our food adjustment. They have a few different menus Happy hour, regular and a menu with no prices be sure to ask the price! The white clam appetizer was delicious and so was the seafood risotto. Steve came to talk to us in regards to a receipt question.
Definitely I may visit again soon we liked the atmosphere.
