Update of a 5 star Review

Last visit I gave a 5 star long and wonderful review. What happened?? Gave the Hostess tonight our name and number and checked the number twice for accuracy. Never text us after over an hour. They said they had and I explained I could show them the phone. The two hostesses could care less. So, updating to two bones instead of five. We are happy anyway because while waiting took our well behaved golden on a walk and found another amazing restaurant very close.! We got into right away and it had live music and delicious hot food! It’s a shame as I really wanted to show the love to this restaurant again!

Great Place with Live Music!!

Our well behaved Golden loved this place as did we!! A gem FIND tonight as we had our names down at a restaurant close by who after an hour never text us ( I had checked the number twice) so we happened by chance to walk by this restaurant!!! Our Servers Landen and Margaret were SO nice and loved on our dog too. Water was brought for our Golden puppy and yummy Margaritas for us! Food served HOT and absolutely delicious, We are so happy we accidentally found this lovely new place with great live music and a friendly and kind staff!!!!

Beautiful Day on the Island❣️

Charlie and I sat outside on a great patio and soaked in the perfect weather as we ate delicious hot food, and excellent drinks ( water the Server Stacyann brought Charlie in a nice clean dog bowl !) ! These guys are prepared for well behaved dogs (outside only for health regulations of course!) ❣️Our Server Stacyann was very kind and professional. The manager Esther visited and was the same: such a nice team! Noah , the food runner also obviously loves dogs!
We will be back here as it made for a fun time in the sun! See photos❣️

Update

Took the same exact well behaved dog back today with a puppy because we had so much fun the other day but today they let us know that the dogs were getting in the way of a server (even though we were seated at the same exact table as last time). We believe it was just one server- ha!
Anyway, we did not ask to sit in the nice area we were seated so just make sure to mention to have a seat where the dogs won’t be in the way. Our new server Danielle was fantastic as were the customers where we were sitting who all wanted to stop and pet the golden puppy! The majority of the staff was great too!

THE BEST!

We were so thrilled to find this place as the food and drink are unique! The patio for dogs, and their owners is wide and comfortable! However, this place is owned by one of the NICEST people we have ever met! Mr. Micheal Dean took the time to give us the honor of talking and getting to know him a bit. He came out on a beautiful night and we did not know he was the Director of Operations. Michael is just a people person and it shows in his business. Whitney, our server could not have been kinder. She was a complete professional and we were so impressed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant! Our dogs loved it too!

Cozy Patio and Great Food!

A quaint New England small patio for well behaved doggies!
Delicious food and drink! Our golden loves this place too! We have been here twice and both excellent experiences! Thank you to the staff of Addie (miss you!) , Rosie, and Hallie. They are all beyond nice, and professional. Thanks for the music Rosie.
The blackened halibut special with mango is one of the best fish dishes ever! Concert in the green next door was great following dinner!!

Was told ONLY Service Dogs

ONLY giving one bone because they were called for a reservation but was told by the girl on the phone that dogs are no longer allowed except Service Dogs. She explained it had to do with a new town rule.
We will sadly try someday without our dog.

Delicious Food/ Friendly Staff!

This is a new upbeat restaurant and bar in foodie-heaven New Haven! Get the Wonton Nachos, and a Dirty Shirley! The staff are amazing! The manager (pictured)

Relaxing Atmosphere!

Great time sitting on the dog friendly patio in the shade drinking excellent wine, and eating fondu outdoors! Rose- our kind, professional, and cheerful server was the best! Charlie had a great time and even was treated to a scrambled egg. A very nice park is across the street for doggie walks. Highly recommend!

Great Food and a Walk at Sunset in the Park!

We love this place because on top of the delicious unique take on all of the favorite food, and drink you can also take your dog for a walk in the wonderful park beside it after or before eating! The patio is perfect. Indira and Anna Sandi are nice and professional servers. Indira makes excellent food and drink recommendations. Charlie-Boy 🐾💕loves this place so we will return!

I N C R E D I B L E‼️‼️‼️

We arrived in Maine for a vacation, and are leaving after experienced one of those most magical September evenings of our lives. Not only was the view, and food amazing at this restaurant-Kudos to the Chef!! - but Chelsea our server, Alex the owner, and Joelle all made this a special evening. I wish my house was on this spot too. Our golden retriever Charlie was treated like a Prince, and people could not have been any more friendly. Sweet, and kind like the Baklava! My husband had the Oysters, and then the lamb Kabob and I had the Calamari and Chicken Kabob all while looking out at a postcard view. Thank you all for a night we will always remember…

Closed -SO SAD

We used to take our well behaved Golden to this restaurant, and they always treated us well. It was unique, beautiful. and fun but we called today and this restaurant is closed. A new one called Minglewood has taken its place which is mostly a bar, and they told me on the phone no dogs (except service) allowed. SO Disappointe!!!!

Amazing!

Our Golden was treated like royalty!
Luke, our Australian waiter was incredible, and the staff (the females get a shout-out) were soooo kind to our dog. One worked in a Vet office (wish I had her name). One brought our dog a scarf with the restaurant name. Fresh Seafood, wonderful drinks, and staff! We had a view of the water because we got there early. We would go again with our Golden in a heart beat! It is hot ( not much shade) during day. Bye Charleston! We want to come back!

Sad

The man who answered the phone said they would only allow a dog if they were not busy so we decided to go somewhere else (where we had a blast), so not able to really give a review.

The people at this restaurant are so nice! Jen and Stacy were kind to us, and our Golden Charlie! He had a blast as people were petting and cuddling him all evening. The food was incredible. We recommend this restaurant.
