Wow! I had their steamed burger, it was really good and the fries were great too. I also had the seafood roll which was OK, just needed some extra flavor I was expecting a little sweeter of a zing but overall a great experience! The service was very good. The blond waitress was very accommodating, even though I didn’t want to sit with my coworkers she insisted on me moving a chair with their table but I was happy where I was. I had to ask for extra ketchup which she acquired for me stealthily, the atmosphere was very interesting and I witnessed what appeared to be locals who just got done from a hard days work, as had I. Before my cohorts and I decided to leave I pardoned for an extra glass of cold tap water, which I hear is of high-quality in Connecticut! The waitress obliged, and after

I’m very happy and pleased to say that I wondered into “AJ’s Oasis cafe’ “ four years ago in Meriden Ct.

I went here because I heard of their great seafood..., when I got there, I was impressed with the atmosphere, just a bunch of people enjoying life. I ended up getting the Mexican Street Corn and the fried artichoke hearts. The Street corn was hot, fresh and plump, so very good. The fried artichoke hearts were the best I've ever had with an outstanding dipping sauce. The 6" personal pan pizza had an incredible crust and everything else was perfect. Go here when you get a chance.
