They were pretty crowded and we had to wait a bit but that's not on them, just something to plan for on a weekend. Our server was very good. SDT is a solid, reliable spot. If you want basic comfort food they have it and it is prepared very well. We'll keep returning and maybe one day the sprouts will be on a specials menu!

The owner is very rude…read more Touted himself as a diner when in fact planned on being a bar the entire time with very loud music. Has absolutely no consideration for the neighbors in the area. Jim, why don't you open a place like this next to your house in Stratford and then let us know how much you like not being able to sit inside your own residence without hearing all the amplified music with the windows closed! What use to be a nice peaceful neighborhood on the property next to the wetlands in between the 'bar' and our place has turned into a lousy place to live. On top of it all, he built an outdoor bar last year and now has a tiny permit on the pole in front of his establishment stating he wants to get 'approval' for an outdoor bar. More people in that tiny backdoor area, louder music maybe? So many people park in the Marriott and cross Hawley Lane day and night. First of all why are they parking on someone elses property and why is the town or Stratford and Trumbull not concerned about someone getting hit on that part of Hawley Lane. His place should have never been converted from a residential home to a bar in the first place. When someone gets injured, not only will he get sued, the Town of Stratford and Trumbull will get sued as well. If I could have given a zero star, I would. So I chose a one star rating.

We started with the pretzel, which was great. The dipping sauce made it even better. The naked wings were perfectly fried, and both chicken sandwiches--one fried and one grilled--were delicious. The nachos with Cajun chicken were also lovely, with plenty of chicken. The miss of the meal was the smashburger, which really wasn't a smashburger. It was left with only two bites taken. This was where our server really handled the situation beautifully. We didn't ask for anything or complain, but he offered to send the manager over. We told him that wasn't necessary and that it was fine. He then went ahead and took the burger off the bill anyway, which we really appreciated. Overall, the experience started off a little questionable, but it ended on a positive note. Despite a few misses, most of the food was good.

I first tried Cibus back in August of 2025 for a quick drink and appetizers, so when my friends…read moreasked where we should go for dinner, I didn't hesitate to suggest it. I may add that I live 90 minutes from here and only come to this town 1-3 times a year. So, my friends usually take my suggestions and a group of eight of us showed up on a Saturday night with no reservation, and somehow the universe blessed us with a table. The place was packed, even the bar had people standing around it; so we knew we were in for a good night. One thing I loved about Cibus that night, is the crowd. It's a great mix of Hispanic and non‑Hispanic diners, which tells you the food speaks to everyone. The décor is warm and inviting, and the dimmed evening lighting gives it that cozy, "we're about to eat well" vibe. Parking was easy too. I have to admit I thought it may be harder to find parking but we found a spot right behind the restaurant, though street parking is also an option, but was packed. Our server, David, deserves his own shout‑out. Super patient, friendly, and ready with answers for every question we threw at him. He checked on us often without hovering, and everyone at the table agreed he did an excellent job. Now, the food...my favorite part. If you've read my reviews before, you know I eat everything but have a soft spot for Asian cuisine. And even though I'm Hispanic, I rarely go out for Hispanic food because I cook it well at home and most places don't impress me. Cibus, however, did not disappoint. Not one dish missed the mark, and the whole table agreed. We even ordered extra food to take home. We started with the Garlic Shrimp with Mofongo. The creamy orange sauce caught me off guard because it's not the usual style, but it worked beautifully. The flavors were balanced, the mofongo wasn't dry (thank you!), and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. We liked it so much we ordered multiple plates of this one; plus two Cuban sandwiches to go. The Cuban was tasty, though it could use a little more meat and sauce. The Ropa Vieja was another hit. Plenty of meat, plenty of sauce, and the black beans were flavorful. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top would have made it perfect, but that's just me being picky with my extra flavors and aroma. We also had the ceviche, the trio of little mofongos, and the Chips and Guacamole -- and yes, they make their tortilla and plantain chips in‑house. Not a single crumb survived. I tried the Tostones Sliders with pork, and I wouldn't change a thing. They were loaded with meat, had the right amount of veggies and sauce, and were just delicious. The only dish that didn't wow me was the Maduro with cheese. I love maduros, but the melted mozzarella felt a little plain. There's so much potential here, instead of Mozart maybe try some queso Mexicano, a small side of meat sauce, chimichurri sauce, or even a spicy drizzle could take it to the next level. Speaking of spice, I asked for hot sauce and was surprised to get a watered‑down Frank's RedHot. For a Latin fusion restaurant, something like Cholula, El Yucateco, or Tapatío would fit the Latin fusion theme so much better and elevate the dishes. But overall, Cibus is doing so many things right -- great service, great food, great atmosphere. I'm already planning my next visit and bringing new people with me at end of May.

Second time here...first time dining in. Came here for a family member's birthday dinner…read more Went on a Sunday evening with a group of seven. The restaurant midsized, it's nicely decorated, clean, and good for groups too. The staff were very friendly, food was good, however the waitress was ok. She forgot to bring my appetizer and forgot to place my to-go meal in time of the kitchen closing. The waitress was apologetic and I understand humans forget things from time to time when you're busy. However, this evening was less than half full and when we left it was near closing time...only a couple tables were still there. The least they could have done was comp my meal or have the manager stop by to apologize. But that didn't happen, I just didn't want to make a fuss...so I paid the bill and time will tell if there is another visit in the future.
