The fish and chips happy hour portion is such a steal! Perfect for sharing with a friend or two. The batter was super light and crispy, and the fish inside was really fresh. We just grabbed a table outside and it was a nice little catch-up spot.

Stopped by for a quick bite. The escargot was good, garlicky and buttery. Beef tartare was solid too. Menu felt classic French, nothing too wild. Just a decent, straightforward meal.

Just stumbled off Route 1 and found this place. The sour cream old fashioned donut was so fresh and different. Totally made the stop worth it.

The pizza here is pretty good. The crust is nice and crisp, and I liked the fresh crumbled sausage. It was a bit on the pricey side, but it&#39;s a solid choice for a casual meal.

Calamari and craft beer were solid starters. The French Onion burger was the highlight&mdash;really flavorful. Service was efficient, and the patio is a nice spot. Prices are reasonable for the quality.

Service got a little slow when they were packed, but honestly, the food is so good I don&#39;t even mind waiting. The flavors are just spot-on.

My usual spot in the neighborhood. The food is always solid&mdash;you know exactly what you&#39;re getting. The price is right for what&#39;s on the plate.

The chocolate mousse is so authentic. Loved sitting under that quirky painting at the bar.

Becca and Eduardo were very attentive. Happy hour prices are solid, and the food is good. A nice spot for after work.

Been coming here for years. The portions are always generous, never feel like you&#39;re getting shortchanged.

Really cozy spot. We had to wait a bit for a table, but the staff was super friendly about it. The booths are nice and roomy, which I always appreciate.

The private event space upstairs was perfect for our group. Marissa helped with everything, made it so easy.

The Chicken Diabla Chimichanga was fantastic. The chicken was juicy, the sauce had a nice smoky heat. Best margarita I&#39;ve had in Connecticut, hands down. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet.

The burger was hand-packed with a nice smoky flavor. Fries and nachos were hot and crispy, which was perfect. Service was quick, so we weren&#39;t waiting around.

I&rsquo;m a burger person, and their double cheeseburger is one I keep coming back for. The patties are juicy, the cheese is melted just right. Tried adding chili once&mdash;really good. Their coffee milkshake is a solid choice to cut through the salt.

This is a solid spot in the area. The menu is a fun mix&mdash;you can get a classic NY strip, a plate of pasta, and really fresh sushi all in one place. The vibe is definitely upscale but still relaxed.

Easter dinner here. The lamb was cooked just right, tender and flavorful. Service was on point too. Really liked the cozy vibe of the place.

The smoked salmon sandwich here is really generous. I had it for lunch with a coffee, and it was just the right amount of food. The service was friendly and prompt, which made for a very relaxed meal.

Been coming here for years. Grabbed the chef&#39;s vegan plate again last night. That vegan roll? Always hits the spot. It&#39;s the reason I keep coming back&mdash;you can count on it being good every single time.

The salmon in the BLT was so fresh, it really made the dish. Nice to see a good selection of local craft beers too.

The fettuccine bolognese was pretty good, especially with the ricotta. Their tiramisu was a fine way to finish. Decent dessert options overall.

Got the mild plus spice level on my noodles. Just the right amount of kick without slowing me down. Perfect for a quick lunch. They have a few other spice options too if you want more heat.

Ross is a master behind the bar. His spiced pineapple margarita had a perfect kick, and the smoked sunset was a real treat. Happy hour is the move for those.

Came in on Mother&#39;s Day, so it was packed. Honestly, I was expecting a wait. But the staff kept things moving smoothly, and our food still came out hot and tasted right. That&#39;s solid execution on a tough night.

Stopped in for a quick coffee and a croissant. The space is clean and bright, which I appreciate. The almond croissant was good, but the coffee was just okay. Decent spot for a morning meeting.

Love the vibe here. The front bar&#39;s got that classic pub energy, but the back patio is this quiet little escape. It&#39;s a nice mix depending on your mood. The dark wood and those old photos on the wall really sell the cozy feel.

Love the vibe here. It&#39;s rustic but still feels elegant, really warm and relaxing. We ended up staying for hours just chatting. The design is beautiful.

Leo&#39;s place was decked out for the holidays, really cozy. Had a nice lunch there. He recommended a local red that paired surprisingly well with the hearty stew. A bit of a wait for the food, but the vibe was right.
