It's beyond reasonable and the portions reflect it, yet they're perfect. The staff here was very kind and accommodating and if I'm not mistaken this is a local business owner. The interior of their restaurant isn't huge but it's spacious enough, clean, and perfectly lit. There's no doubt that I'm a customer for life here. Thank you Pho Hong Thom, I'll see you guys again soon!

The meat was soooo good and the shrimp was a great addition. Cha gio was also delicious and crispy. Nuoc Cham was sweet and didn't leave a strong taste in your mouth. The owner was very sweet and talked to be the whole time I was there. I wish people would go here instead of other restaurants.

I ordered for pick up online. I loved the idea of topping French fries with different items. The…read moreservice was great, and the interior is fun, exciting and inviting. I must say however, for a place that specializes in French fries, you'd think they'd at least hand cut their own potatoes but they didn't. Their fries are store bought, precut, and were extremely greasy. I only ate my toppings which I must say were good, and their house sauce was amazing . Grilled chicken is part of the house fries ingredients but it was more so just shredded. Other than that, it was a good experience. Not sure if I'd go back but I'd recommend it to others to try at least once.

Also, it gives you that instagram feel like so many other restaurants are incorporating into their businesses. My daughter and I were greeted when we arrived and we were told we could sit anywhere. My daughter and I ordered the Colombian French Fries with Pork Belly, Colombian Pork Sausage, Sweet Plantains, Shredded Cheese, and House Sauce. Oh boy, the French Fries was packed with flavor and it just was an explosion in your mouth. The Sweet Plantains was a great addition as they were sliced in small pieces and you really didn't know when you were getting the Sweet Plantains because this box was full to the max!! As you bite into the French Fries, the Sweet Plantains would surprise you with that sweet taste. It all came together with the Colombian Sausage. The French Fries were 17.00 but with all the toppings and it feed myself and both of my children, is a win. The customer service was great and I would definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

Trattoria's does it again…read more On a busy Valentine's Day night, it was almost SRO when I arrived for my 630p reservation. Staff worked diligently to keep up. The dining room was a little tight on seating, but the waitstaff did a good job. The Stinco is a braised pork on the bone with mashed potato. Outstanding selection. Loved the custom themed cocktails which also included a "love potion" martini with raspberry vodka. Trattoria Fun fact: their cheesecake is actually made on site; their gelatos, however, are all imported. Parking can be tricky to find; definitely recommend a ride share if possible.

My second time dining at 29 Markle Court yesterday! When…read morefirst I was introduced to this restaurant: an impromptu visit with a group, and we shared small plates, family style. It was delicious! This time, I reserved a table for four, including guests who were up to an adventurous evening. The place was hopping! A Friday evening fun atmosphere and a beautiful bar that reminded me of a Paris restaurant. We were seated at a great table with banquettes in a corner of the front dining room. Our waitperson was excellent- energetic, informed of the menu, friendly & interactive, I believe her name was Shamira. We received great recommendations for dishes on the menu accommodating certain preferences. Following Cocktails - from the usual order of Scotch, to the " Crimson" spicy, indeed. The "Wanderer" imbiber said she could sip them all night. I, being mostly just a wine drinker, ordered from the "unusual wines" - a delicious white wine from Languedoc named "Picpoul De Pinet, Feline Jourdan", which paired very well with both courses. Based on my enthusiasm we all shared a bottle with our Main Course! Total alignment. We shared Caesar salads, which were excellent. Everyone enjoyed their selection of a main course: Halibut with corn risotto, Shrimp & Grits with spicy red sauce (just right spicy), My dish was Mussels in ginger & lemongrass red Curry, paired with grilled bread for soaking up that sauce, Yum!; a Whole Red Snapper with Mole sauce for my husband - most adventurous diner of the evening! We stretched ourselves to order two desserts: Crème Brûlée and Goat Cheesecake! Sublime. On departing the Restaurant, we were thanked for dining by the Proprietor, Wesley. We had an inspiring conversation about Bridgeport's future. A memorable evening.

Drinks first: my slightly dirty martini was made exactly right. My friend went with cosmo and it was equally on point. Whoever is behind that bar has their act together. Then the food happened. We started with grilled bread with an EVOO, agave, and chile dip -- sounds simple, ate like a statement. The char on the bread, the heat and sweetness of that dip. Good sign of things to come. Main event: shrimp and grits. Guinea flint grits, spicy red sauce, sage, stock. I don't say this lightly -- this is one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. The grits were creamy and rich, the sauce had real depth and heat, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. The whole bowl just worked on every level. Dessert: goat cheesecake with pistachio dust and berry compote. Tangy, creamy, not too sweet, and that pistachio dust on top was a perfect finish. We cleared the plate.
