Great prime rib and a jalapeno dip for an appetizer. Friendly and attentive server. Good beer selection. Comfortable seating. Manager/owner stopped at table a couple times to check on us.

If it hadn’t been for the high Google rating, we probably wouldn’t have stopped here for dinner — we might’ve assumed it was just another local bar with a great beer selection. Thankfully, the reviews drew us in, and even with high expectations, we were still pleasantly surprised. From the start, the cocktail selection was thoughtful and the one we tried was both colorful and inventive. That same creativity carried through to the food: a well-executed blend of modern American cuisine with French and Chinese influences. It’s a bold mix, but it worked beautifully. Highlights included a rich, creamy garlic-cheese French fondue and a fresh, vibrant shrimp and rice bowl — both dishes were flavorful and artfully presented. The outdoor patio offered a great atmosphere, and the staff was friendl

★★★★★ 5.0 Elisa Maynoldi · Dec 2025

I genuinely love this place. I work in West Haven, so me and my coworkers & friends come here a lot for bingo specifically - but this spot is IT!!! The service is awesome, the owners are super friendly, and the food is soooo good every single time. I have never had a bad experience and I’ve been coming here for a year and a half! This is a great spot! Highly recommend!
