The atmosphere perfectly captured the holiday spirit, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. It was a memorable celebration shared with family, made all the more special by the warmth and attention to detail at this restaurant.

The greeting, service and food was exceptional. The actual tables could be updated; they were chipped and picnic-style. The music was nice but a little loud. It was difficult hearing my daughter. The portions were beautifully displayed but a little small. They were fine for the 3 woman. If my husband was there...he could have eaten both our dishes.. Overall, in my opinion....the food was wonderful but just a few little things would have made it an A+.

Gloomy Monday Night In New Haven with the weather but the cocktails, a strawberry caprioska, crafted by Walter, the manager/owner along with the beef heart skewers off the dinner menu made for the perfect night off and evening, a quick way to turn your day around. A great staple and go to spot if your at Yale and/or in downtown New Haven.
