We came here for our birthdays and we were incredibly blown away by the service and the food. We had shrimp and lobster wontons and the miso mustard was 10/10. Then for entree we had the petite filet and waygu hanger, both outstanding. Sides were whipped potatoes and creamed spinach. I would highly recommend this place the food was just amazing.

We went out for brunch and sat at a table for two. We ordered drinks - a mimosa flight, and I got the coquito flight. It was so good!!! We had the deviled eggs with bacon to share, and my friend got the red velvet waffle while I had the Cannoli French Toast. The food was delicious. They started with Christmas music, and then it changed to R&B. It was a great vibe. We were able to have a great conversation, and we weren't rushed at all. I'll be back cause I loved it.

The food at this restaurant is beyond excellent. Wide array of appetizers. Staff were so friendly. Great, hip atmosphere. Seared hanger steak, shrimp and grits, Philly Cheesesteak Eggrolls, Steak Tips…all top notch. We’ve been in Hamden 2 days and ate there twice because it’s so good.
