Been coming here for years. The homemade bread is always fresh, and they have some interesting ice cream flavors. The staff is friendly, makes it a nice spot. It can get a bit busy on weekends, but that&#39;s to be expected.

Been coming here for years, and I always save room for the sticky toffee pudding. It&#39;s consistently rich and warm, and the vanilla ice cream on the side is just the right touch. That&#39;s the one thing I know I can count on every time.

Dog-friendly, which is nice. The coffee&#39;s fine, but the price for a small latte felt a bit steep.

Came by for lunch on a Tuesday. The space is so pretty! Had the grilled octopus and a spiced rum cocktail &ndash; both were spot on. Definitely a nice find for a quiet midday break.

Been coming here for years, and their Beef Wellington is the reason. That pastry is always buttery and flaky, and the beef is consistently tender. It&rsquo;s the one dish I order every single time.

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.

Tried the restaurant week menu and really enjoyed it. Everything was tasty and nicely done. The seating was comfortable, which made for a relaxed meal.

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.

The tomato pie was so refreshing. Just the right amount of cheese to let the flavor come through.

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.

This wine bar is so cute, perfect for catching up with a friend. The server was super helpful picking out a wine since the list is huge! We tried a few small plates and honestly, each one was better than the last. Great spot.

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

Parking&rsquo;s a hassle, but the food keeps me coming back. Had the grilled salmon again last night&mdash;cooked just right, crispy skin, not dry at all. That&rsquo;s what matters.

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.

Always come here for breakfast. Their omelets are fluffy, and the orange juice is fresh. Staff is super nice even during the rush. Just a solid spot.

I keep coming back for their pizza. The crust is always perfectly crisp, and the toppings taste incredibly fresh. You can tell they use quality ingredients. It&rsquo;s my go-to for a satisfying yet simple meal. The wait can get a bit long on weekends, though.

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.

Flirt-ini was great. Bartenders know their stuff. Tried a rotating special too, solid. Good spot for a drink.

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.

Melissa was so helpful! She suggested the grilled salmon, and I loved how fresh the ingredients tasted. The portion was just right for a healthy meal. She checked in a couple times without being overbearing. Really appreciated her attention to detail.

The espresso martini here is a standout. It&#39;s got that perfect balance of coffee and sweetness, really smooth. Even on a packed Friday night, the quality didn&#39;t slip. One of the best I&#39;ve had around.

Music on the rooftop is nice, but it&#39;s way quieter downstairs. Staff were okay. I&#39;ve been here a few times, and the volume difference is pretty noticeable depending on where you sit.

I love the open kitchen view, it&#39;s so cozy. The grilled shrimp Caesar salad was spot on, fresh and crisp. The puff pastry was a nice touch, flaky and buttery. A solid meal.

Love the old-school charm here. The food is always solid, and the staff is friendly. What really works for me is their wine list - it&#39;s not huge, but they have some interesting local bottles that pair nicely with the hearty dishes. A reliable spot.

The prix fixe menu was $60. The portions were just right, not too heavy before dessert. I liked the low lighting and quiet tables, made it easy to talk.
