“First off this is a new location and new building since 2025. This Panera is by far the best one Ive been to. Efficient, clean, friendly and food order is correct every time so far. (I’ve been to some other Paneras where the order has been wrong or they leave something out which is so frustrating) This location is spot on :-) Thank you!“

“Delicious🥃Great service!!“

“Loved the buzz’d bowl!! So good!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bmuse Café is consistently amazing! Fresh, healthy, made-to-order food that never disappoints. The oriental salad with grilled chicken is my favorite, and their sides like potato salad, fresh fruit, and yogurt parfaits are delicious. Perfect spot for a quick, quality lunch — highly recommend!“

“Every Friday after i get my kids from school, we take our family walk over to our favorite deli/snack store. the food cooked to perfection, the service is always heartwarming. As a family man, this is the type of establishment i love to treat my family to. it's worth the time and Money.“

“During lunch break from having to serve jury duty I found this coffee shop down the street and decided to pop in. The two behind the counter were very friendly and inviting, and the special grilled cheese with tomato or bacon with soup was PERFECT . the chicken corn chowder came out piping hot and didn't even need any salt or pepper. I'm usually skeptical when someone has to make my coffee instead of me doing it, but unlike dunkin donuts the gentleman made it just right! they seem to have a familiar and friendly customer fan base, and I would definitely go back again.“

“Blender bar has easily become one of our favorite spots for a girls lunch date! Both locations are amazing- the staff so always so friendly and helpful in trying to decide what to try next!! From the food- to the drinks to the açaí bowls and the Nutella balls— everything is top notch!“

“Town Pizza is the BEST!!!! I have been going there for over 20 years, and not only is the food fresh and delicious, great pizza, Greek specialties and more, but the owners and the staff are the nicest folks ever! LOVE everything about Town Pizza!“

“Rachel was the nicest hostess I’ve ever had, 10/10 Olive Garden is my favorite restaurant and I would sell my children if that means she is working there for the rest of her life. (Gordon Ramsey would approve because she isn’t an idiot sandwich). (Also don’t worry I’m not a creepy person).“

“Lived up to the hype!

Ive had Fuoco on my radar since learning about it from Dave's one bite video. Finally made it happen the other day.
It was everything I wanted it to be and more.

Went with my family, was 6 of us.
Got a large money hots, large mashed potatoe and bacon and a small half cheese half pepperoni. All absolutely amazing in their respective flavor profiles. The crust on each was perfection. Not overly charred, crispy and crunchy but not dried out. Toppings just the right amount each time. Just beautiful. The artwork on the main wall, to the wood with photos on the hallway coming in from the plentiful parking area. I suspect im of similar age to the owner who was sitting at a side table, had a music Playlist going that was right down my alley. Im slamming pies listening to limp bizkit and poppa roach. Short wait on food which was alot less than expected considering this place was hopping. Just nailed the experience front to back! Thank you and will 100% be recommending and coming back!“

“Conveniently located near the Chapel Street parking garage and open lot (2-5 minute walk) in the Blake Hotel, Siena is a relatively new Italian restaurant. Our party of three ordered different appetizers and entrees and all enjoyed the tasty food and desert. The Bolognese, Salmon and beet salad were particularly noteworthy. Our server, Alejandro was knowledgeable, attentive and personable. We all agree that we would eat there again.“

“Had state street for the first time today after a hockey game. It was super busy but they quickly got us seated nonetheless. The food was SO GOOD. Well worth the price! The siracha maple syrup is FANTASTIC.“

“can NEVER go wrong getting a Thursday nite sangwitch“

“best sushi in ct! amazing food and wonderful family owned business!“

“I live in Alabama and grew up in Georgia and cannot really remember a time before Chick-fil-A. It’s one of our favorite stops especially on long trips when we need the familiarity and the kindness. This location met and exceeded our expectations. Thank you for the kind and professional service. Great food as always. If we are up this way again, we will plan to stop in!“

“One of my favorite places to eat healthy food while in New Haven!!!“

“I really love their Chicken biriyani.“

“Usually their salads are delicious. But today i came by, right when they opened up (prob a mistake) and ordered a crispy chicken salad … My salad was done in about 5 mins …. ( how can chicken be cooked that fast?) Anyway, i tried to eat the salad for dinner. My croutons were stale, the bread was stale and tomatoes along with the cucumbers tasted like theve been sitting out from the night before. I doubt chicken was freshly made. I’m so disappointed. Next time i know not to come right when they open up.“

“Waiters, food and atmosphere get five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Everyone warns you the downtown Sweetgreen is slow. I ordered at the kiosk and had a full bowl in hand in under seven minutes, which is faster than I usually find parking on Broadway.

The floor plan reads like a compromised retrofit, the kiosks wedged into a circulation pinch that should bottleneck the lunch crowd. It doesn't. I'm writing this at 12:53 on a Sunday and two of the six window stools sit empty. The kitchen outpaces the layout.

My Hot Honey Chicken bowl, double quinoa and double blackened chicken, is a genuinely protein-dense build. Mustard on the side because I don't trust anyone else to dress it. Tasty. Also very pricey, which is the standing Sweetgreen luxury tax and surprises no one who eats here.

The real find is the seat. The window looks straight across at the stone gothic Yale spent a century perfecting, and the corner is the finest people-watching in New England. Five stars, and a fair amount of the fifth is the view.“

“Tried this deli for the first time. It is right up the street from my home. Ordered a breakfast sandwich and it was one of the best bacon , egg and cheese sandwiches EVER. Very clean as well.“

“100%. the sauce is AMAZING. You can just tell there is heart and soul put into the pizza. Thank you Pizza Works for another great lunch. You always come through. 🍕“

“Incredibly friendly staff! Clean environment and VERY delicious 😋 Thanks for being so incredible guys!“

“One of my top 3 favorite Diners in CT. Grew up in 80-90s going here. Still go back on occasion and it never disappoints. That spinning Desert cabinet was always the favorite of the table!“

“We had a terrific experience there after my son’s baseball game. I believe the employee’s name was Petagaye that I would like to recognize. She is exactly what superior customer service should look like in the food industry. She was extremely friendly, helpful and attentive to the customers. What an asset to your team!“

“We ordered lunch today at work for 8 co-workers. Everything was made correctly, labeled with names on them and delicious! We were happy with such a great selection of salads, panini's, smoothies & soups. We will definitely order again! 😊“

“FABULOUS FAMILY ITALY ALWAYS“

“My Daughter graduated yesterday (Mother’s Day) from WCSU. To say that it was a very special day would be an understatement. I decided I wanted to enjoy the day as much as possible, I did not want to cook nor did I want to be rushed out of a restaurant because of the holiday. I wanted to enjoy my guests and my daughter’s achievement without time limits or oven timers. After seeing a friend’s post recommending DiBella’s Catering, I immediately went to the website to see what their catering menu offered. I was instantly interested and called Destiny to help me customize one of their packages to our needs. Not only was she knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions and offer suggestions, she helped me put together an incredible menu with as much enthusiasm as I had. When my son arrived to pick up our order, it was ready, fresh, beautifully presented and all set for transport. Everything was absolutely delicious from the salads to the cookies! Our guests LOVED everything and I had no problem giving them Destiny’s contact info for their future catering needs when asked. I know I will be calling her again myself. Thank you Destiny and DiBella’s for allowing me to enjoy one of the most special Mother’s Day ever. 🙏🎓🌟🥰“

“Amazing & yummy , authentic Mexican food . Super friendly & patient service by the staff. Great dinning area with a calm environment & very respectful for both staff & dinning guest. Clean restaurant. Huge portions of food. Come with a good appetite you will leave extremely full !!“

“Bari was our amazing waiter. He was serving 10 tables with class and polite table Cordon Bleu style. We returned after 2 years of having a bad experience with Olive Garden. Bari has us returning to eat at Olive garden again. Tasty and on time enjoyed the neverending pasta and soup and salad with bread sticks. Time was about 6 pm in Saturday night. Resurant was clean and kitchen ran smoothly. Large parking lot was almost full.“

“I have been coming here for years. Most of the items are great but the last 5 or so times that I have come here the chips are so greasy that I can’t eat them. This sucks bc the salsa is great. Also, the restaurant can be pretty cold in the winter as the door is opening and closing a lot.“

“Just stopped for coffee and bread. Staff was very helpful“
