Onto the drinks and food which were so delicious and truly enjoyable. I got the Beachy Bee Iced Latte special, which is a honey vanilla latte with a coconut cold foam and toasted coconut on top (simply divine)! My fiancé got the cappuccino which was made just to his liking, and he's a coffee connoisseur. For food, I had the Bumble, which I highly recommend, with scrambled eggs, subbed with the gluten free sourdough bread (+$2 up-charge) and cheddar instead of American cheese. It's served all day and had so much flavor with that garlic butter, and the seasoned steak. Yum! If you are gluten free like me, you will appreciate that they have the gluten free sourdough bread or a gluten free wrap to substitute with. My partner had the Basic Bee with bacon and thought it was flavorful with light and fluffy scrambled eggs that complimented the bacon well. Overall, I would really recommend this place if you're looking for a breakfast or lunch in Wallingford!

I normally try to give places the benefit of the doubt, but our experience at The Bees Knees Bistro…read morein Wallingford was honestly very disappointing and upsetting. My family and I arrived while it was raining outside with our young daughters in strollers, expecting to sit down for a meal and get out of the weather. Instead, we were told we could not come in with the strollers and essentially felt unwelcome the moment we walked through the door. As parents of babies who are still too young to sit safely in high chairs on their own, the strollers are not optional for us , they are necessary. We were not being disruptive, rude, or inconsiderate. We were simply trying to have a meal as a family. Rather than attempting to accommodate us or show any understanding, we were left feeling like having children made us an inconvenience. What made the situation even worse was the fact that it was pouring outside. Any level of kindness or flexibility would have gone a long way. Instead, we felt embarrassed, frustrated, and honestly shocked by the lack of compassion and customer service. Families with young children already face enough challenges going out in public, and experiences like this make it even harder. We ended up leaving and taking our business somewhere else that was far more welcoming and understanding toward families. It is disappointing because we were genuinely looking forward to trying this restaurant, but first impressions matter. A restaurant does not need to be "kid-centered" to still treat parents and babies with basic respect and decency. I completely understand that restaurants may have space limitations or policies, but there is a respectful and compassionate way to handle situations like this. Instead, the experience came across as cold and dismissive. There are many restaurants in the area that are happy to accommodate families, and moving forward those are the businesses I will continue to support. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will not be returning and would not recommend this restaurant to families with infants or children who still require strollers or extra accommodations. I wont be going back and giving them .you business, nor will I be recommending this place to anyone. Totally rude and discrimination towards those with babies. I did not feel cherished like their website says every guest is. Its sad because this will and im sure does effect their business. I will never give them my business after yesterday. No attempts at accommodating us or evening offering to let us sit outside, lazy staff, but yet there were 3 teenage girls taking names for the wait list. What a joke.

Service was quick and friendly and they even have a nice selection of cheeses you can sample and purchase on the side of the register.

Absolutely love this place. The service is always top notch,…read moreas are the food and drinks. It's a cozy restaurant with a lot of warmth. Our server was knowledgeable of gluten free options on the menu, which was great. They start every table with potato chips and a yummy aioli, truly addicting! For food, the filet mignon was perfection. A previous time I came, they had shrimp and scallops in a saffron cream with wild rice and market vegetables and it was DIVINE! The menu does change so that dish wasn't listed this recent time that we went. It would be amazing if they brought it back as a permanent dish!!! For drinks, I loved by Buzzin in Bikini Bottom cocktail! It is my favorite! My fiancé liked the Negroni and Julep as well, but loved my drink above those. I'd definitely recommend going to Six One Nine for a date night or dinner outing!

Bones & Botanicals is a witch-themed speakeasy and tea shop that opened in Wallingford, CT in…read moreJanuary 2023. It was founded by husband and wife Jeremy and Sarah Glidden. The couple had been foraging herbs and vegetables together for years. Bars shut down everywhere during the COVID-19 pandemic, so the Gliddens decided to craft their own homemade cocktails with some of their herbs and flowers. They also began to infuse the herbs into different spirits and syrups. Eventually the Gliddens decided to open their own bar and chose the name "Bones & Botanicals" in reference to the spooky witch theme as well as the fact that they use botanicals in their drinks. The menu consists of craft cocktails, craft mocktails, herbal teas, local craft beer & cider, and light food options. Everything on the menu is made from locally-sourced ingredients. In addition to year-round offerings, the menu features new seasonal specials each month. The Gliddens opened a second speakeasy, The Gilded Curtain, down the street in August 2024. I recently visited Bones & Botanicals for the first time. I've been meaning to visit for a while, and I made a point to visit for the beginning of the Halloween season. You need a secret 4-digit passcode to get inside, which is updated weekly and posted on their social media accounts. I totally loved the vibe of the place with all of the witch decor (very reminiscent of "Hocus Pocus" or the "Harry Potter" franchise). There's lots of shelves filled with all sorts of books, broomsticks, crystals, and jars filled with herbs. I even loved all of the smells. The place is small and was a little crowded when I first arrived, but it soon cleared out and I was able to grab a seat. I was excited to try some of the October menu specials, which included the "Pumpkin King's Old Fashion" (bourbon, housemade pumpkin & maple syrup, angostura & chocolate bitters), "The Blood Moon" (mocktail: pomegranate, cranberry, housemade rosemary syrup, lime, club soda, balsamic vinegar) and the "Basic Witch" (vodka, housemade pumpkin creamer, coffee liqueur, whipped cream & sprinkles). I really liked how it doesn't matter if you don't drink alcohol. At Bones & Botanicals, there's something for everyone. The mocktails were just as exciting as the cocktails. Before leaving, I had to get one their most popular year-round offerings: the "Smoked Thyme Infused Old Fashion" (bourbon, thyme syrup, angostura bitters). I watched the bartenders make this cocktail at least five times during my visit and it was an entertaining performance each time (complete with a skull cocktail smoker and a big puff of smoke). It also happened to taste amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Bones & Botanicals and highly recommend a visit during the Halloween season (or any other season for that matter).

Decided to stop in for an impromptu bday brunch. We were greeted immediately and sat quickly…read more There is plenty of parking and seating here. I noticed their regular customers in house daily. I've ordered lunch here to go and it was really good, so I wanted to give breakfast a try. We ordered the French toast w/a side of sausage patties, build your own omelette w/home fries and rye toast. Seasoned home fries are usually my gauge for a repeat visit, and they were seasoned and cooked to perfection! The omelette was nice and cheesy, delicious. I love the flavor of the batter and crunch on the French toast, yummm!! Can't wait to come back and try something else on the menu.
