One of my favorite New Haven restaurants as a New Havener & recently was told that lobster rolls are only now apart of the lunch menu! Insanely disappointed if you have a work schedule that only lets your arrive at 5pm and they refuse to make you a lobster roll. Willingly having your customers go elsewhere to get a lobster roll is insane when it takes nothing to make one.

Wex stopped in for a drink...bartenders were amazing and attentive...the place was hopping and everyone seemed pleased. Food looked and smelled amazing! Would definitely return for a meal!! A little pricey but...you get what you pay for!

This place is not what it used to be. The quality of food has drastically declined while yet prices have increased. My husband and I went for my birthday and first off they called us 2 hours in advance and left us a voicemail (which we later heard) letting us know they had to cancel our reservation because they lost power and that it would be back by 6pm. However since our reservation was at 5:30 they had to just cancel ours. No option to try to push back the reservation or work with us. Well we didn’t see the call and went there for our regular time. When we got there the power was back but they were waiting for the appliances to heat up so they sat us for 6pm, which was fine. I ordered a steak cooked MEDIUM and the steak that I received was not only rare but basically raw in the middle. My husband’s Caesar salad had two large romaine hearts with stems still intact under a bunch of cut up lettuce thrown on top. Just sloppy and not the quality you is satisfactory when spending that much money. Save your money and go somewhere else.

I ordered the lobster, which was delicious...... but the tail had absolutely no meat! I don't understand how that was put on my plate and served. I told the person who came to take my plate, and she just shrugged it off.

Beautiful atmosphere and the food is good.. We frequent the bar and the team is great but Josiah is our guy. Always greats us with a smile, remembers our favorite drinks and is one of the reasons we keep coming back!

It was really the food for me . Very high priced for food that didn't have enough seasoning. I ordered the pork iberico and was met with sub par pork drenched in a sauce that beckoned my high blood pressure . The bread with ye butter and black salt was amazing though .

Of the restaurants in New Haven CT, in my opinion, this is one of the best because of the delicious food, the scenery and the good service. It is one of my favorites. I recommend it 100%.
