Cool modern spot, tucked away from the hotel lobby. Perfect for a quiet late-night drink downtown. The vibe is really relaxed.

First time here. The fried calamari was perfectly crispy and fresh, honestly some of the best I&#39;ve had. The fettuccine was rich and full of authentic flavor. Just a really solid meal.

The patio was so dog-friendly, and the staff even brought water for my pup. I had the shepherd&#39;s pie - the mashed potatoes were really creamy and good.

The chicken marsala was spot on, tender and a good size portion. My son enjoyed his steak sandwich. I had a glass of Chianti with my meal, a nice pairing with the rich sauce.

Came here with a few friends for a casual dinner. The Land Ho burger special was really good - juicy and cooked just right. The vibe was perfect for our group, not too loud so we could actually chat.

Their cheese pizza to go was fantastic. Reminded me of New Haven. Grabbed a bottle of red to pair at home, and it worked really well. The crust held up perfectly. A solid find.

The salmon salad is my go-to for a quick lunch. The fried avocado starter is solid too. Brussels sprouts and tater tots never miss. Gets me in and out fast, which is all I need.

Our waitress was a real highlight, so friendly and made the evening fun. The space itself is lovely, with a cozy dining room and nice outdoor terraces. We ended up staying for a while just enjoying the vibe.

Tried their Tuesday Surf and Turf special. $45 for steak, lobster, a starter, dessert, and a glass of champagne. The lobster tail was a decent size, not tiny. Felt like a solid deal for what you get.

Stopped in for a cocktail and a small bite. The cosmopolitan was really good, one of the best I can remember. The staff is genuinely warm and friendly, which makes the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable.

The bacon salad was fantastic, really hit the spot. It&#39;s a classic steakhouse vibe, and the front-of-house staff clearly know what they&#39;re doing. Just a solid, comfortable spot.

The onion rings are the only thing I ever get here. They&rsquo;re sweet, crispy, and just a little greasy in the best way. It&rsquo;s a classic spot, feels like it hasn&rsquo;t changed much.

The server was really nice and explained the specials well. It made ordering easy. The food was pretty good, though the main course came out a little slower than I&#39;d hoped.

The gluten-free pasta here is a game changer. Fresh, made in-house, and actually tastes like the real deal. As someone who has to avoid gluten, finding a place that does it this well is a relief. The texture was spot on.

Solid lunch spot downtown. Got the sushi plate with miso soup for $20. Food came out quick, perfect for a quiet Friday bite. Fish was fresh, soup was hot. No fuss, got me in and out.

Heather was so friendly and attentive. The chef stopping by our table was a nice touch. Really felt looked after.

Solid bagels, good coffee. The bookstore vibe is cozy. Saw a lot of Yale students studying here. Nice spot to grab a quick bite and chill.

I really appreciate their focus on fresh ingredients. The grilled salmon was cooked just right, and the seasonal vegetables tasted like they were picked that morning. Such a simple, healthy meal. The outdoor seating area is a nice bonus for enjoying the sunshine.

We had a family birthday here and they handled the large group well. The custom cake was a highlight &ndash; it looked lovely and tasted pretty good. The main dishes were decent, though the pasta could have been a bit warmer.

Been coming here for years, and their burgers are still the best in town. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Perfect date night spot. Felt upscale but relaxed, tables are spaced so you can actually talk. The wine list had some interesting local options, which was a nice touch. My only note is that the cocktails leaned a bit sweet for my taste.

The gluten-free panko on the baked seafood was a nice touch. The cozy, low-lit space made it a comfortable spot.

The wings here are solid. Crispy skin, juicy inside, and that house-made buffalo sauce has a nice kick without being too vinegary. I just wish they gave you a few more for the price.

Got the loaded nachos to share. It was huge! Honestly could&#39;ve been a meal on its own. Ended up taking half of it home.

The view from the 19th floor is pretty wild, especially after dark. When the fog came in, it really did feel like eating in the clouds. The wine list had a nice selection of crisp whites that paired perfectly with the whole vibe.

Gluten-free tasting menu was a nice touch, and the crackers were appreciated. Portion sizes felt a bit small for the price, though.

Came in for a couple drinks. The Black Manhattan was spot on, really smooth. Pisco Sour was solid too. Decent selection overall. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but you get what you pay for.

Shae was so attentive when our order had a mix-up. She fixed it right away and the manager checked in too. Felt really taken care of. The whole vibe was just right.

The guacamole made fresh at the table is the highlight. The seats were just comfortable enough for a relaxed meal.

Crispy artichoke hearts were great. Halibut was good too. Quick bite for lunch.
