    Looks can be deceiving! From an esthetic perspective the space is lovely and very relaxing. We are always looking for a place to enjoy breakfast so off we went. We were pleasantly greeted and seated in an almost empty restaurant. We ordered our meals and waited and waited and waited for our coffee. Almost instantly I was handed pancakes and I questioned as to the speed at which they arrived and was assured they were mine, well they were not, if I had an allergic issue with chocolate it would have been unfortunate. The pancakes were taken away and we waited for our meal. When our meals arrived it was underwhelming. The pancakes had no flavor the cinnamon roll was cold and dry, I honestly feel it was reheated from last week! I could not finish the pancakes and took only one bite of the cinnamon roll. Just a complete disappointment.

    Fish & "chips" (substituted squash).

    After visiting the Yale Art Gallery and then IKEA, I was starving & we googled "restaurants near me" , and BLDG came up. And it was "near me"- right next door inside the Hotel Marcel! I had wanted to check out the building anyway, so after a Quick Look online at the menu, we booked on Open Table. It was a Friday late afternoon, and not at all busy. Staff was friendly and welcoming, the decor and ambiance were nice. Didn't really have expectations, but everything was excellent! Our party of 3 had: 1. The Baked Feta (for our vegetarian). They loved the feta itself, the other stuff in it not so much but overall they enjoyed. It was different! 2. Haus Burger. Excellent burger & tasty fries. 3. Fish & chips- this was my dish and I loved it, so fresh, not greasy, perfectly cooked. I substituted squash for the fries (I can't have potatoes ). I wish they offered sweet potato fries but the squash was acceptable. For dessert we split the apple galette , this was just ok. Could have been better, not sure why. Didn't seem super fresh, not enough caramel... Overall a great experience! Definitely will eat here again. Before that Google search, I didn't even know this restaurant existed inside the hotel, that's why I'm writing this review.

    Incredible. A hidden gem of New Haven. I brought my mom for a Valentine's Day date, and the chef was kind enough to make everyone complimentary beef puff pastries. I thought I had the best pasta straight from the source in Italy, but I was wrong. Not only does New Haven arguable have the best pizza, it also can argue it has the best pasta made here. The bread was fresh and flavorful with interesting combination options. Nice open space with cool ambiance. 10/10 would recommend and now want to try everything on their menu. Our waitress Jade was very attentive and sweet

    Our first time here and it's been open 2 years. A little late to the game but we were pleasantly surprised. Well made cocktails and a decent beer selection. We sat at the bar and our bartender Stacey made us feel at home. We will add this to our rotation of good New Haven restaurants. Cheers.
