Restaurants near New Haven

“We loved the restaurant, food, service, and staff team culture. Our burger and house salad was excellent. We were pleased to find an upscale restaurant that serves an excellent burger! We will definitely be back.”

“Thank you for a wonderful day!!!!”

“Unfortunately, due to low staffing, the drive-thru was the only option. Which was very busy! I did not end up ordering any food or beverages, as a result. Sad sign of the times.”

“The whole family enjoyed an excellent meal tonight start to finish. Service was friendly and quick. The setting was beautiful. Salads were fresh and flavorful. Had the kalette appetizer which the whole table enjoyed. Entrees were fantastic! I had the rib eye. One son had the steak au poivre; another had haddock with heirloom tomatoes, and my husband had the pork chops. We all agreed it was a perfect meal. We ended the meal with wonderful desserts - maple creme brulee, marscapone cheesecake, banana bread pudding, and ice cream with a praline topping. Just the right size and sweetness to finish this wonderful meal. We hope to be back soon.”

“Obsessed with everything Lu Lu does!!! Love their ice cream 🍦 obviously, but they also crush the coffee game. Plus their homemade pop tarts are out of this world and their bagels 🥯 🤤 mmmmm!!!!! JUST GO THERE and experience the yummyness ❤️🥰”

“Have loved this place since they first opened! I could eat their food every week! It’s authentic Thai food made with the freshest ingredients ! My favorites are the ginger tofu stir fry and the Veggie Pad woon sen! This is a takeout only, home kitchen based place! Order at least 2 hours early! You will be very pleased!!”

“The best latte I’ve ever had in my life! Prices are beyond reasonable, and the vibe of the cafe is nice as well.”

“Quaint and comfortable, small town eatery with super professional and friendly staff and delicious, although limited, menu. Doesn't matter though...the ambiance and quality totally make up for it. The plate presentation is culinary grade and the flavors are devine but a little pricey for the portions, but all is forgiven for the tough times and raising costs in Vermont. My steak was a poor cut, seeming some porter or strip and quite slot of gristle, but prepared as I asked.”

“Little Seed is a community staple to Middlebury. The sort of place to casually run into a friend or to plan on having a meeting. The owners are very involved in the community and, like the baristas, are so friendly. And! The hot and iced lattes are the best I’ve had- anywhere.”

“Restaurant Review: Fire and Ice - Middlebury VT -- This restaurant is a multi-generation family-owned restaurant that has made its staple in the Middlebury area. It has designed its restaurant to cherish the memories of the town and family. You can definitely see this in its eclectic, interesting decor, starting with the Sailing Boat Hull Shaped roof to the 10+ curated themed rooms that are filled with local treasuries and memories; you can see what families flock to this restaurant, big and small, to enjoy a fantastic family dinner. -- As a seasoned traveler, having explored 68 countries and 36 states, I approach restaurant reviews with a clear criterion: Taste, Presentation, and Service. My goal is to provide an impartial perspective, highlighting both the commendable and deficient aspects of dining establishments. -- The evening started with our amazing waitress - Michelle. She had a bubbly personality, constantly checking in with us, and was quick to answer questions, provide feedback and recommendations, and quickly resolve minor issues. She represented the restaurant well. -- Appetizers We started with the Fried Mozzarella. Since we were a party of 5, I decided to order 2 orders. Big mistake. They were surprisingly large, cooked perfectly, and served with an extraordinarily tasting thick creamy marinara sauce. -- Vietnamese Spring Rolls. I was very excited about this appetizer because, most of the time, you get deep-fried rolls that taste like oil. These rolls were wrapped in rice paper, served cold, and had the perfect combination of shrimp and vegetables - accompanied by a fresh cucumber salad and served with Ponzu (soy) and peanut dipping sauce. Very refreshing to the palette, especially before a hardy meal. -- Filet Mignon - this 8 oz filet was cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside with a buttery and soft interior, which you can top it off with bearnaise sauce or 2 amazing additional sides for the steak, a Bacon-Onion Jam, which was absolutely amazing, and pickled onions. My favorite was the combination of jam and pickled onions, which were savory, sweet, and tangy. Served with a baked potato. -- Shrimp Risotto - a special for the night was topped with a creamy chevre, green peas, and garnished with an amazing watermelon radish. I find that either you do risotto right or you fail miserably. In this instance, the risotto was cooked perfectly and presented with a velvety and creamy texture, great consistency, and the perfect combination of flavors to round the dish. I was impressed with the presentation by adding the spiraled watermelon radish, which added a great dimension to the dish. -- Classic Fettucine Alfredo - This is a tough dish for me to review as I had authentic original Fettucine Alfredo with Alfredo di Lelio's family in Italy. The founder of Fettucine Alfredo. This dish definitely stood up to the classic dish as well as it could, and in comparison to other versions I have eaten, it definitely ranks well. -- Whiskey Barrel Steak (not pictured) was my main entree. This dish was definitely amazing. I was a little nervous that the Whiskey and Vermont Maple Syrup Marinade was going to be overpowering. Still, alas, it was the perfect combination of rich, smokey notes and sweet undertones of the syrup. It really provided the perfect addition of sweetness to the dish while still allowing the flavors of the steak to really stand out. The twice-baked potato reminded me of the times my father twice baked potatoes as a kid. Hard top shell broke open with a creamy textured potato filling. -- Overall - This restaurant was excellent. It provides a space for the locals and visitors to get together and have a large selection of local flavors with twists along the way. The owner clearly takes pride in what he puts on the table, and the guests are treated with a great experience. Make sure you walk through the restaurant to see all the different dining spaces, which is a great conversation starter. Fire and Ice Restaurant”

“wonderful dinning experience”

“We came for breakfast and I had the Phish Bowl- It was great! Potatoes and veggies were cooked perfectly and the over medium eggs were great! I would highly recommend!”

“Thank you so much to Caroline! She made my daughter a beautiful vegan birthday cake!!! ❤️🥳”

“Best cookies around!! We love this place!!”

“Thank You Shiretown for catering our event on one of the busiest weekends of the summer. We contacted you last minute and you were happy to accommodate and were very easy to work with. The food was delicious! 10/10 would recommend!!”

“Best place around! They are so friendly, and make amazing food, with great prices!”

“Delicious sandwiches and soup. Wonderful bread! Generous fillings! Friendly staff too!!”

“What a pleasant surprise. I knew the atmosphere would be Old World cozy and classy - but didn’t know it would be warm and down to earth (not classic and cold as some similar places might be).
But I didn’t expect the menu to be so creative and filled with reasonably priced surprises. The unexpected twists and variety of different foods for all tastes went way beyond what one might expect from a hotel restaurant.
Plus, we happened upon half price for wine bottle evening, which was another pleasant surprise.
Yet none of that would have been as satisfying had the service not been so friendly, again, down to earth and professional.
It was one of the most pleasant experiences at a restaurant I can remember and would be worth a trip even from Burlington to enjoy.”

“Amazing service, great beer, food was simple but well priced. BLT was among top 5 ever and beer brat was delicious. Atmosphere was fun with nice outdoor area.”

“Absolutely Delicious & Amazing Service! Nikki did an incredible job with our wedding cake and cupcakes! Not only were they absolutely delicious, but they were also beautifully made—perfect for our winter wedding. Beyond her amazing talent, she was so professional and easy to talk to throughout the entire process. She made the experience stress-free, and truly delivered above and beyond our expectations. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend her for any special occasion! Thanks again Nikki!”

“Food was delicious and flavorful, we had the veg pakora, tandoori chicken, Kashmiri chicken and chicken biryani, we throughly enjoyed all dishes. Service can be improved on especially by the lady in front, she does everything and this takes away from customer service. The second time we returned with a reservation and was still given a bad table in the entrance, our reserved table was given to walk-ins. The lady running food and water is very sweet and caring.”

“Everything was fresh. Staff so friendly and they have quite the cocktails and cocktails menu. Great atmosphere and ambiance inside with a great outdoor space as well. We will definitively be back.”

“I've been living in Vermont for over 7 years and still haven't tried every beer. Today, I bought a 4pk. of "No More Heroes" and a 4pk. of "Red Dwarf." Excellent! I intend to visit the brewery soon, as I am so impressed and grateful that they are championing beer styles such as these.”

“I showed up without a reservation and was promptly seated. I ordered Vegetable Massaman Curry with Hot Thai flavoring. I am completely satisfied.”

“Excellent place to stop and sample the great variety of ciders they produce. Something for every taste preference. The flights an awesome way to taste several and find your favorite.”

“This place is an amazing hidden gem! The fresh fish, salads, and many other goodies are top tier 👌 😋 I sadly should have gotten a larger size of the broccoli salad because oh my goodness!!! Even better, the owner is so kind and enjoyable to interact with! Definitely give them a try if you haven't already!”

“Their soup special, onion soup, was the best onion soup I've ever had. And I've savored a lot of onion soup. Highly recommend”
