From the moment I walked up to the bar, she served with a genuine smile and an energy that instantly made the night better. Her attention to detail, friendly vibe, and top-notch service brought my whole evening to a new level. She truly made the experience unforgettable. Thank you, Ebony!“

“We originally had a reservation across the street, but it turned out that they were actually closed so we ended up at Bank Sports Bar and are we ever glad we did! We were looking for a place to stop to get beers and a bite to eat before attending a concert nearby. When we walked in there were more than 65 in the bar and the vibe was exactly what we needed. Quickly we noticed there was one bartender behind the bar - ut oh. Right? Nope. Britt was truly amazing and this place is lucky to have her. We never went without a drink; she was attentive and kind. Turns out there was one person in the kitchen, too - AJ. Our food came out delicious and hot. All of the respect to these two. We hope to be back soon!“

“I’ve been a regular here since Day 1 and I can’t believe I didn’t post a review until NOW!! What can I say, it’s the best seafood in West Haven HANDS DOWN! The oysters are fresh, the lobster rolls are the best, and the mussels for 2 is so flavorful. The staff are like family and welcome you with open arms. For drinks, I recommend the manhattans, old fashioned, espresso martinis and dirty martini with the blue cheese stuffed olives (YUM!). Their Moby’s lager is delicious and there’s a great selection of tequila. The bartenders are the best around! My favorite dishes are the lobster Mac, Lobster Rolls, Tuna Sushimi Oysters, Oysters Rockefeller, and tuna tartare. Trust me, you will not be disappointed with your dining experience! Nick and the crew will take good care of you. I’m a customer for life ❤️“

“Very intimate setting. The wait staff were very friendly. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and the manager came over to congratulate us as well as give us a complimentary toast.“

“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!“

“On the way back to NYC from Foxwoods and decided to stop by Bridgeport for some Vietnamese food. The original Vietnamese restaurant we googled by Bridgeport led us to a location that was closed so we decided to stop by this place since we saw it also served pho among other things. We were very pleased with selecting this place after our initial viet restaurant wasn’t open. The food here is really good!! Kinda hope they can open one in NYC if they haven’t already! If not maybe I’ll make the trip up here again in the near future just for the food.“

“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.“

“Came on a monday night for trivia, and we’ve never been before. Safe to say it was a fun place to be and exceeded our expectations. Limited food menu, so we ate before, but we did consume the fresh (free) popcorn they had. Pitcher of a lite beer was $15. The Bar, looks like a scene out of Hogwarts, dark, funky candles, old wooden tables with names carved in them, and definitely historic. Its a good thing we arrived a bit earlier for 6pm Monday night trivia as it was crowded, lots of Yalies there too.“

“We ordered 4 different appetizers and 4 different entrees, everything was AMAZING! Food came out perfect, cocktails were deliciously balanced, great atmosphere, and Samantha did an outstanding job taking care of us. Definitely going back, highly recommended. 10/10“

“As first time visitors it was a little difficult to find but staff in the store were really kind and helpful. This is located in Azteca Market. It's in the back of the store.

The young lady who gave us our order did so with a pleasant smile.

The birria tacos were great. Definitely best enjoyed fresh however they still had a nice crunch after the ten minute car ride home.

The steak burrito was also very flavorful and filling.

We got two sides of rice and beans (one came with the burrito and the other as a side). Neither of these were anything to write home about. The rice was very bland and the beans were good but nothing special.

Will definitely be going back“

“Excellent food. Highly recommend“

“A nice clean and cozy little place with a great bar and lots of high tables or dining area if you prefer. Great service. Friendly waitress who took the time to explain some of the menu. Everything was delicious and fresh.“

“Wonderful service, Alan, our waiter, was very kind and understanding. We thank him for the great hospitality. All the staff were excellent. The food, not to mention, was very delicious and fresh. We would definitely return again to share such a special moment. Thank you very much for everything. ☺️“

“I ended up having a great time at Joey C celebrating my birthday last night 6/5/25. They were able to accommodate me and the food was so good. Thanks Mike. Our waitress Michelle was awesome, very pleasant and there when we needed her. Thank you Michelle. Until next time!“

“Absolutely delicious! Wonderful food, drinks, and atmosphere. The margarita pizza was GREAT. I can’t wait to return to try out more items on the menu next time I’m in New Haven.“
