- SStephenNew York City •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoGoia on Wooster Street made our wedding anniversary unforgettable! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly special with their warm and attentive service. The food was absolutely incredible—the sticky toffee pudding was hands down better than what we had in England, and the smoked old fashioned was perfection. The atmosphere is stunning, with great energy and dope vibes that made the evening even more memorable. Goia has mastered the art of doing something old but making it feel fresh and new. We can’t wait to return and try their pizza. Phenomenal experience—well done, Goia!More infoGioia - Wooster Street New HavenPrice: Expensive• Italian• New Haven•4.8

- RRobinColumbus •2 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 24, 2024We sat at the bar early on Christmas Eve. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We chose from the Primetime Prix Fixe menu: the shrimp cocktail had perfectly iced shrimp wit lovely cocktail sauce; the filet was expertly seasoned and cooked just right and the New York style cheesecake was delicious with lots of whipped cream and freeze dried raspberries (a very nice touch) And I’d be remiss if I didn’t say how good the cocktails were: the smoky Old Fashioned reminded me of sitting in front of a roaring fire and tasted great while my partner thoroughly enjoyed the Bananarama, which tasted like a cold version of “hot buttered rum”. It was a delightful evening and we will be returning soon! I forgot to mention the popovers that came before our meal started—they were outrageously good!More infoSaltbrick PrimePrice: Expensive• American• Branford•4.4
- DDominicNew York City •5 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 18, 2024This was our first time going to Lobster Shack. The place was decorated for Christmas and what a wonderful job that was done. Made the atmosphere awesome and festive. Our server Mara was excellent. We had 2 appetizers, crab cakes and ricotta balls in a vodka sauce. They were the best we have had. Our entree's were excellent as well. Hot Lobster roll, Broiled scallops, Broiled Cod and Shrimp Florentine. We will definitely be heading back to Lobster Shack soon.More infoLobster Shack - East HavenPrice: Expensive• Seafood• East Haven•4.7
