Restaurants near Yale Repertory Theater

Three of us enjoyed a wonderful lunch today Jan 9th. There were two menus to order ftom: Lunch menu & Regular menu. We ordered from both menus. Shared 3-appetizers of Arancini, Eggplant meatballs, Buratta cheese from the Lunch menu. Then the Vegetable Rissoto and Orcieto from the Lunch menu and one pasta dish from the Dinner menu. Coffees, Teas, Espresso Machiato, Creme Brule completed a delicious meal. Very accommodating and professional waitstaff. Garage parking directly across the street but street parking available.

Always a spectacular meal. Everything was delicious. I love that there are always memorable specials. I had a dozen perfectly chilled oysters with a jalapeño granita that were amazing. The butternut squash soup was perfectly balanced. We had the roast pork and salmon and a new chocolate dessert that consisted of cookies, ice-cream , an ice-cream sandwich and chocolate rice crispies with candied orange. The service was perfect as usual. My top restaurant choice in Connecticut.

I go to Heirloom quite a bit. Sometimes lunch. Sometimes dinner. The place is lovely and the food, although better than average really could be better. I find the menu somewhat limited. More offerings would be nice. I’m a “2 starters” person who is partial to Burrata and tuna tartare. The Burrata served here has totally unnecessary wild greens of some sort and grilled squash, also a distraction. How about more tomatoes, fresh basil, larger Burrata and some fabulous balsamic vinegar? As for tuna tartare, not on the menu. Work on the menu a bit to come up to the caliber of the place!

The best restaurant In New Haven ! Staff is attentive and very pleasant. Irsis made sure that my husband's birthday dinner was very special! Chef Vincent is creating delishes plates ! Try polenta!

Branzino and hangar steak were delicious! Loved the vibe, too,
