Restaurants near Amistad

Great food and great staff! Will definitely go back again.

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.

Luke Brasserie is a stand out in the fine dining space. We opted for the three course lunch menu where you select two options and the chef selects the third. The precision of the cooking is otherworldly. Just one example--the white asparagus with truffle emulsion and piave cheese sprinkled on top was absolutely spectacular. Piave is similar to parmesan but more subtle, and that's the point--the combination with the truffle makes the dish just different enough to elicit a wow! New Haven has some nice spots with excellent food, but Luke is clearly aspiring to an entirely new level. Loved it!

Olea always delivers. We had another great dinner. The oysters, the heads-on shrimps and the octopus were amazing. I had my usual, the duck confit, which was as delicious as ever. Once again, their service was impeccable. Juan Carlos, the owner, is such a nice man. Thank you for the wonderful dinner.

I took a shot in the dark choosing Pacifico for dinner before the show I was attending at Schubert. I brought my 86-year-old father, who can be resistant to fusion style food. We were impressed from the moment we walked in the door. Staff, food, ambience, music . . . everything was wonderful. We were greeted by the manager (owner?) and had a lovely chat as well. I will definitely be going back in the future.
