The food has always been consistently great for years now…read more I love their California wrap and my husband loves the swordfish dishes or the flounder. The pre-dinner bread basket has slices of their homemade cornbread. It's very good, not all crumbly, and we bought a loaf of the cornbread in the fish market store attached to the restaurant. Grace was our waitstaff tonight and was upbeat and attentive, as are all the staff we've had. It's a small-ish restaurant/bar combo with a huge outdoor patio. The decor is modern seafood restaurant decor, no silly fish heads or fish nets overhead. No fishy smells either.

My food came covered in my requested sauce (they did not skimp). Drinks are via a can or bottle there are no fountain drinks so if you are big on refills you may want to ration your consumption as you would need to purchase another bottle or can. The place is clean but I will admit a lot smaller than I thought, but this was no issue as the waitress was good. She checked in and made sure everyone was all set and enjoying their food. There is ample parking and the place was super clean. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

FIVE STAR FIVE STAR FIVE STAR!!!!!!…read more This place has hands down the best boil bag in the area! Portions were good. Prices are fair. But most importantly the food was delicious. Their sauce was so flavorful and all of the seafood was fresh and juicy. Family owned business with very nice staff. Whether it's date night or just grabbing a quick lunch you have to come here if you enjoy a seafood boil don't even bother trying another place first. I never rant and rave about a place but they deserve it here!

*** DO NOT ORDER THROUGH THE YELP APP OR GRUBHUB*** Use DoorDash only…read more It was my first time ordering online, so I made this mistake tonight. I showed up for my pickup only to find that they didn't get my order. The staff told me that they only do DoorDash I had to cancel the order with GrubHub and then replace my order. Thankfully, there was enough of what I needed to get an order to go. Now that I got the unpleasant part of the story out of the way, let's talk about the amazing place that Southern Dishes is. If you've din d in a traditional southern food restaurant before, you'll recognize the setup. Meals are served cafateria style, that are portioned for you by the staff. You place an order at the counter and grab a seat or wait to be called if you're going to-go. Once your name is called you grab your tray and bring back to your table. Tonight's trip was a simple kid's meal of a (large) fried chicken strip (white meat) and mac and cheese for my son and a large collard greens (made with turkey). Having had all three before, I can vouch for their yumminess. I would be lying if I didn't say that I shared a few mouthfuls of the mac and cheese. This is the bomb, or whatever everyone is calling it. The mixture of cheeses, these crispy top, the well cooked pasta...it's the trifecta of the perfect mac & cheese. If you like collard greens, these are legit southern greens, not like the other ones that restaurants try to pass off as the real thing. The potlikker (liquid from the greens) is amazing. Other mentionables are the fried chicken, the fried fish and of course the wonderful banana pudding! For an authentic southern meal in CT, make the drive to Meriden. You will not be disappointed.

Olga was a very delightful server and the owner could not have been more friendly. He gave me a private tour of the banquet room downstairs. The highlight dish was the crab cakes with a pesto sauce. This is not to underplay the seafood pasta which was packed with shrimp, scallops, mussels coveted in a slightly spicy red sauce. The two appetizers tried were stuffed mushrooms and calamari. Both brought smiles to my friends' faces. The best part is we could dine outside and enjoy the beautiful summer evening.

I am all in on Lima 32 Peruvian restaurant. Back in January, I noticed the Lima 32 sign in the old…read moreTacos mi Nachos space in Meriden. Something about the sign aesthetic made me think it would be a good place. I Yelp-Searched it, and Lima 32 damn near had a perfect rating based on less than 50 reviews. I'm a Food Blogger. So I try to explore new places and avoid repeating spots I know. I've eaten at Lima 32 three times since January. Lima 32 is a small casual Peruvian spot located in a very small plaza in Meriden. Parking is tough, but they've done a nice job with the aesthetics inside. Lima 32 is also available on DoorDash within a certain area. I've now had the Lomo Saltado, the Arroz Con Marisco and the Chaufa de Pollo. Best Lomo Saltado I've ever had, and I've had a really expensive one at a famous CT spot. It's basically a beef and veggie stir fry. You can see the chef making it with fire in the pan if you have the right seat. The soy and oyster sauce based glaze is good salty. So flavorful and everything is perfectly cooked. Best Arroz Con Marisco I've ever had. It's a saucy Peruvian paella. The sauce (Aji Amarillo) has a well rounded creamy pepper flavor. The seafood, like crab, mussels and shrimp really stand out. I suspect the seafood varies depending on what's available. The Chaufa de Pollo, a Chinese fried rice style dish, was very good too. Huge pieces of chicken. Eat it with the delicious Aji Verde sauce. Is Lima 32 hidden? I don't know. But it sure the hell is a gem. It's must visit. 5 Stars

Growing up in Jersey, Italian food is apart of our 5 main food groups. It hasn't been easy finding an Italian restaurant that reminds me of home, but Cafe Fiore hits it out of the park. I ordered the Sole Française and had more than enough for leftovers the following day! They also make a mean espresso martini, the espresso tastes so fresh! Excited to dine here again.
