We ordered from the Easter brunch/lunch menu, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. First of all, our waitress was amazingly pleasant and helpful. The food was excellent, atmosphere was cool, and we enjoyed the bottomless Mimosa's! Definitely plan to come for dinner next time we are in New Haven.

We had a great experience, the waiter gave the best tutorial of the menu, highlighting and explaining the nuances. One of the people in our party had some specific requests for her dinner, which the chef was willing to compromise on without frustration. Food was fresh, presentation excellent.

Delicious food. A lot of options for our group of 5. Josh took care of us so well and was very attentive the whole night! His humor and good nature was a pleasant addition to the wonderful food we had to celebrate an eventful week.

Our service staff was relatively inexperienced, but thankfully another waiter was on the mark to cover... but the meal was excellent, the ambiance very pleasing... and overall, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Bravo

Amazing food and fantastic service! The staff made us feel welcome. We were going to a show across the street and they made sure we had received our dinners in timely manner so that we can enjoy it slowly and still make our show.
