    Wonderful experience and accommodating hospitality and service team. The food was delicious; the jazz music playing in the background is a nice touch. I would return in warmer weather to experience the patio. The chef and team served us quickly per my request ensuring we arrived timely at a jazz concert at the Lyman. The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere!

    The pork chop was overcooked. I think they cooked it and then they microwaved it.

    You know how to cook a pork chop perfectly. Also, the grilled octopus was terrific. We look forward to dining with you every time we come to New Haven.
