Its right on the corner of Chapel and Olive. We walked from our hotel, so parking was not an issue for us. The minute we walked in, we loved the place. We were warmy greeted and the hostess said she recognized my handsome dining partner. Well, come to find out, the hostess is the partner in this wonderful restaurant with Chef Roland. We met them both before as we had frequented a Norwalk restaurant run by them that we loved and that sadly closed down sometime ago. They opened this spot in New Haven about 1 year ago. Lovely European vibe to the whole setting and menu. Open kitchen. Delicous offerings. We ordered the eggs Benedict with a croissant in place of the English Muffin. I was so happy they were able to accomodate this request. Also a full legitimate English Breakfast! Amazing. A moctail and a pot of loose leaf black tea. All was outstanding! Outstanding! The service was top notch and we never felt rushed. They have daily themed specials in addition to their regular menu offerings. Beatiful bar area. We are so happy to have found them and will be returning often! We highly recommend!

We got buffalo chicken dip as a starter which came out quick and it was pretty good. It had a nice buffalo flavor and was very heavy on the chicken. Once we finished it, we sat for at least 35 minutes waiting for our entrees. And the entrees were all below average. The blackened chicken sandwich was very bland. The chicken cutlet sandwich was mostly bread and the bread was below average. The mussels were good. The Thai wings were ok.

Never missed a beat. Definitely will be back. Just upset I forgot to take photos. Oh and we sat on the enclosed deck overlooking the water which had a nice breeze coming through.

They had a great flavor and were crispy. The Nachos were good. They were crispy with plenty of toppings. The Macaroni and Cheese was okay. It lacked flavor and the noodles were a bit overcooked.
