Best Restaurants for Groups in New Haven

Our first server was okay but then Anthony came over and he was exceptional. So polite, attentive and professional.

The food, the service and the ambience were excellent. It was busy so the noise level was moderate but the high ceilings meant that we had no trouble hearing each other talk.

We love this place, but be ready for a whole new menu! We used to love the duck nachos now replaced with duck tostados...they are good but not like the nachos. That could be personal though. The place is still wonderful. Our waiter was amazing a lot of fun. It is now owned by the same restaurant group that owns Union League, but still nothing like Union League-the atmosphere is still the same.

We had a wonderful meal. Our appetizer, Tuna tartare perfectly prepared. Also , lollipop lamb chops, although much smaller than previously but still delicious. Entre ,lamb with cavatelli , this was a special but should always be on the menu!! Shout out to Lupe who was a very attentive and friendly hostess.Also, the band was amazing (I did not know they did this on Thursday nights) . Music added to a very romantic atmosphere for my husband and I as we celebrated our anniversary !

We have brunch at Atelier Florian every Sunday morning for over a year. We have had a delicious meal from a varied and enticing menu in a quiet, intimate atmosphere every week. We have gotten to know our favorite waitress, Trinity, and all the other waitstaff, from the chef (SO glad he's back!!) to the busboys. Everyone does his/her job pleasantly and professionally. The Bloody Marys are the absolute best! Every item on the Sunday Brunch menu is worth a try, from the Eggs Benedict to the "Homerun." The atmosphere is impressively understated, casual, and comfortable. Background music is pleasant while being hardly noticeable. (We miss the live guitar and piano music of the past that made the experience even more special.) The fact that we continue to go back week after week says it all. Whether we go alone or meet friends or relatives, Sunday Brunch at Atelier Florian is one of the highlights of our week.
