Best Bars And Lounges in New Haven

The food and service experience at The Essex is amazing. Always above and beyond. Bartender Dylan is the best! We love the entire experience!

A hidden neighborhood gem! From the moment you walk in, the hostess to the waitstaff are so upbeat ,knowledgeable ,kind, and fun! The owner of this restaurant should be very proud! The chef is spectacular! Our meals were cooked perfectly! Thank you….I think we may have found one of our new favorites!

Carianne is the best! We love going back for the food and the wine, but mostly because she’s so sweet and professional. She has the perfect personality and the Bistro wouldn’t be the same without her.

My shrimp and linguine meal was excellent. The server was attentive and the price was typical for New Haven. My son had the baked chicken and enjoyed it.

Enjoyed our visit there before a show at Shubert. Menu was not extensive but what we had was good - chicken and waffle app, sliders, beef ragu (definitely big enough to share). Would skip the onion rings next time. I would go back again and try other menu items
