Asking ourselves why we hadn't been to Haven Beer Company in Hamden sooner! I never realized how…read morebig the space/grounds were, and I'm obsessed with the rooftop. If I were a student at Quinnipiac, this would be my spot! The beer is exclusively brewed and sold on premises, so it was our first time trying it, and we really enjoyed it. Their food menu is huge, and while there's a lot of choices, we have to say they do everything well! Some elevated and international choices too that we weren't expecting, but everything we tried was fantastic, including dessert. That sampler platter is the way to go, and honestly Colten and I could've made a meal out of just that! We will absolutely be back!

I've lived in North Haven for 2.5 years and finally tried hot chicken for the first time at Haven…read moreHot Chicken. I went with the mild sandwich, and it was very good! To me, it tasted like a perfect blend of Chick-fil-A and Popeyes--great texture with excellent crunch, and the chicken was moist and full of flavor. The fries were just okay; the crunchier ones were tasty, but they were mixed with some softer, less crispy pieces. The banana pudding was a nice treat too--definitely good. What really stood out was the exceptional staff. They were super friendly and even gave me some complimentary items since it was my first time trying hot chicken. That's fantastic customer service and great business! The only downsides: The place is very small, so don't plan on sitting down to eat if you're with more than one person (it's mostly takeout vibes). Also, the pricing feels expensive--the sandwich alone is $13.49, and adding the combo (with fries and a drink) bumps it up another $4.75. On the bright side, there are plenty of fries to share with someone else. Overall, I highly recommend it for the chicken and service, especially if you're craving Nashville-style hot chicken locally.

I've been wanting to try HHC for quite a while because I have a friend who raves about it. I…read morefinally placed an order online to give it a shot and I'm so glad I did! I ordered THE sandwich combo with mild spice, mac & cheese, and of course banana pudding for desert. My sandwich was so juicy, tender, and crunchy! It was perfectly topped with just the right amount of coleslaw, pickles and rob sauce. I got the mac & cheese without spice just to try it, and honestly wasn't impressed. While very creamy, the cheese left a funny after taste I didn't like. Now the banana pudding on the other hand, that was amazing! It reminded me of southern style banana pudding with hints of cinnamon. My husband picked up the order for me. It was ready quickly and the servers were very friendly from what he said. It's definitely a take out place, as there is very little seating. I will gladly order from here again because I'm already thinking about that chicken sandwich again!

Since I'm new to CT, I've never had New Haven style pizza. Well on this day, it was my first time having it. There was a short line but it moved fast; we got there just in time because there was a long line behind us. They were actively making the pizzas; I saw a woman kneading the dough. Their specialty is making thin crust pizzas in a wood fired brick oven, that is in the food truck. I had a slice of their bacon mashed potato pizza; wow! It was amazing. The dough was chewy and lightly charred. The mashed potatoes and bacon went really well together on a pizza, there was a hint of sweetness. My son and husband had the pepperoni pizza slices; I tried a bite of that and it was also good. Because of this, I am definitely a fan of New Haven style pizza!

Take out for my first time here. Pizza only, one eggplant and one Margherita. Upon entering, a few…read morethings to note. First, it's a very warm and inviting space with the open wood burning oven right in front of you with two separate dining rooms on either side. Both sides have a TV on the wall and one side has a full bar. I was greeted nicely and my pizza was ready when they said it would be. On the downside, there's no handicapped parking in front, which I would think is illegal. There's not even a ramp anywhere close to the entrance. There's other negative is that there was nowhere to sit and wait for take out. This might be due to the Christmas tree and decoration but I don't know. So, why 3 stars? The pizza was just ok. They are small (12"), and, yes, less expensive, but just ok. I don't like Parmesan sprinkled on top of my pizza but saw them put it on every pie. This should be a request, not a given. I've heard good things about the food so I may dine in sometime, but won't get the pizza again.

Parking is kind of small and tight. Server was informative and was very good about my coworker's nut allergies. The bread came out and had a good chimichurri that came with it. I think I had like three slices. All the meals came with salad which was not special. I order the Panko Shrimp which was absolutely delicious. I would come here again to try the other dishes. Overall good experience.

We went to the millpond gatherings Steakhouse for dinner on Saturday 6/20. Overall it was a good…read moreexperience, it has a very nice atmosphere, with a wilderness lodge feel. Our waitress I think her name was Susan D according to the check was very good. The drinks, and appetizers, Barrata salad, and beet salad were awesome. But the steaks not so much. We ordered the 40 day aged rib eyes. We all ordered them medium rare, and they all came to the table way overcooked. It was very disappointing considering they are expensive, and this is a high end Steak restaurant. and we were not the only ones unhappy as the table behind us had the same experience. in fairness they did offer to take them back, but we decided to keep them because we didn't feel right having them thrown away. Also while I'm here I would also recommend staying away from the garlic mashed potatoes as well. We are definitely not overly picky people, but I think some constructive criticism is needed here. As I said we enjoyed our visit, and we would definitely go back and try them again. I would recommend not spending the extra on the 40 day aged steak, pass on the garlic mashed if you can, and make sure to insist your steak be cooked to proper order.

We just got back from dinner at Millpond Steakhouse. We were celebrating 3 June birthdays. Things…read morestarted out great! The restaurant has great ambience- think Yellowstone vibes inside. Warm and welcoming. We were all happy with our appetizers and drinks. I had a Mediterranean feta dip. My husband had an orange salad, my sister in law the beet salad and my brother in law had the burrata salad. We all loved what we had. Cocktails were great, The guys had old fashioneds. I tried my husbands and it was nice and smooth with hints of honey. My sister in law and I had white raspberry vodka martinis. Again smooth and refreshing. At this point, we all would've given the place a solid five. That is until the steaks came. Three of us had the dry aged ribeyes we ordered them medium rare. They were served well done. Not a hint of red or pink! The waitress asked us to cut into them to see if they were to our liking. We all said they were overcooked. Not the waitresses fault. She was great. We asked what they did with overdone ones sent back and she said they 86'd them. We couldn't bare throwing all that food out so we ate them. The char on the outside was good but we feel that's what caused them to be overdone. The flavor was ok but at $68 a plate you expect your steak to be served the way you requested it. We were very disappointed and no compensation was offered. By the way, the guy at the table behind us sent his back because it was overdone as well. My husband had the surf and turf special filet with shrimp over mashed potatoes. He was happy with his meal. It's a beautiful place and we were happy with everything except the steak. But that's a big except when that is the reason we went there. If you go and want medium rare ask for rare and you might get lucky. Otherwise stick to the tavern down below the steakhouse.

I saw that Experiment VR opened a new location in North Haven, not far from where I live, and…read moredecided to give it a try! While I had never been to a VR arcade before, I have used an Oculus headset in the past and so I more or less knew what to expect. The staff member working at the time, Scott, was extremely friendly and helpful, and gave me an overview of all the different games that were available to play. For Room-Scale VR, they have 30, 60, 90, or 120 minute play times. I paid for 30 minutes, which was $28. I started off with an archery game called Elvin Assassin, where I had to defend a castle from orcs who were invading. I felt like Robin Hood, it was so fun! Next I played a Rythmatic 2 game (which was similar to Beat Saber) where I had to use light sabers to slash beats of music as they flew toward me. This one also required some shuffling back and forth, and I was honestly a little out of breath by the time I finished! I ended with a game called Ragnarock, which was another music game where you're sailing on a viking ship and need to pound drums with giant hammers to the sound of the beat. I was able to play all three games within the 30-minute session. I had a really fun time and can't wait to go back! I would highly recommend for a night out with friends, birthday party, etc.

I thought it was so cool to have the ability to play multiplayer games with our friends where we could actually see each other in-game, and they had an awesome selection of games to choose from (100+!). My favorite part was getting to do the racing similar with my fiancé. It felt so real, and the feeling of accelerating was so cool! I wasn't sure how I would do since I have a pretty bad history of motion sickness, but I was surprisingly fine. Xperiment VR makes a great family outing or date night, and would definitely be a great place for birthday parties!
