    Buffalo Wings
    Eric W.

    (Last visited on 1/30/2022.) Hanging out in the are with a friend of ours and she swears by this place! She always tells us that she comes to meet up here with some of her other friends so we finally were able to meet up them to check this place out! Atmosphere/Appearance: From the outside this place just looks like a decent-sized house with a small parking lot in the back. You may need to find street parking depending on how many people are hanging out that day. Once inside you're immersed in the family-owned atmosphere, a true tavern feel and it just feels like a cozy neighborhood bar. From the look of the wooden floors, the big windows letting in lots of natural light and the open floor plan, this place just really invites you in and makes you feel welcomed. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we sat at the bar and as wanted, our bartender was awesome. She was a pro, made great conversation and it didn't take long for it to feel like she was just a friend hanging out with us as well. Food: I've heard great things about the wings here so that's what I was here for! I got to try the Buffalo and the Garlic Parmesan. Both were very good and straightforward. The flavors were great, but they didn't absolutely blow me away of anything. I'd still come back for these though. Value: It's a tavern so everything is affordable and straightforward. If you're a drinker, you already know what to expect if you going to be having a few while you eat. This place won't break the bank. In conclusion, I really enjoyed my time here and I look forward to making a return visit in the near future!

    Nice spot for a drink and some apps with good happy hour deals. A little loud and I felt like my seat on the booth was on a roller coaster every time the person seated behind me moved. Service was attentive and quick. Chicken quesadilla app was large and tasty with lots of soft carmelized onions. Fries were crisp hot and tasty as were onion rings. Drinks were strong and okay. Will give them another visit during happy hour to try some more appetizer choices!

    Plain steak and cheese

    My husband and I went for a weeknight dinner just the two of us. It was pretty busy for a Wednesday night in both the bar and restaurant, which was nice to see. He was hoping for a steak but neither the regular menu or the specials had steak even though I had seen other Yelp reviews with nice looking steaks. He ordered a steak & cheese and I ordered chicken & waffle sliders. Not being a spice girl, I knew I was not interested in the honey sriracha so I asked for that to be omitted and asked to have the maple bacon aioli on the side. I should have tasted it before I spread it on half my sandwich, as it also had a kick. Instead of French fries I opted for brussel sprouts, which were plentiful and tasty. I expected they would be prepared as they are listed under the appetizers, but they were not. They were just roasted without any toppings. Food and service were good, but I wish the 3 children that ran thru the restaurant repeatedly the entire time we were there (and at one point almost crashed into a server that had food in her hands) had been corralled by their parents as it was not only disruptive, but also dangerous since they were running out into the parking lot. We will visit again.

    Bartenders make good drinks! Great night and weekend crowd. Food is basic American cuisine. Good place to grab a burger, app or sandwich.

    Beef Birria Tacos
    Olivia J.

    I've passed Amici Tavern so many times and finally decided to go there for lunch last month. I ordered the Birria tacos and nachos. I was pretty impressed with my birria tacos as they were much better than I expected them to be considering it's not an authentic Mexican restaurant! On the other hand, I was really disappointed with my nachos. The cheese was barely melted and they didn't have regular salsa for me to dip the chips into. My dad liked his burger and fries. I would return to try new things next time!

    My wife and I love it at Amici Tavern. Even better is that it's just a short walk from our house. They have delicious pub fare and many of the dishes have a nice Italian twist. Excellent apps like their nachos and wings. Great burgers and sandwiches too! We love the "Mama & Baby": grilled chicken breast, avocado, crispy bacon, provolone cheese, chipotle mayo, and then topped off with a fried egg. Now that's a great sandwich!! Excellent craft beer selection too. This poor restaurant has been through so many hard times. A couple of years ago, they had a nasty fire in their kitchen. Just a couple of weeks later, the tornado passed through North Haven and a tree fell on them. We were so happy when our favorite neighborhood restaurant finally re-opened the following year. Now unfortunately, this awful COVID-19 pandemic has affected them. They keep on trucking though. They are offering curbside pickup and free delivery. Way to go guys! Their food is still just as delicious for takeout, but we anxiously await the day when we can sit at the bar again as a friendly face serves up a delicious sandwich and refreshing craft brew.

    Happy hour menu

    A last minute happy hour get together with a friend after work. Quiet atmosphere with attentive wait staff. Great menu from appetizers to full dinner meals. I opted for the burger, ok it was a double burger, burger was good though I felt it was missing something. The description stated there was a tavern sauce on it, I didn't taste anything, saw a sauce like substance, but no additional flavor other than the perfectly cooked burgers. Have to admit, I'm all about the sauce. I like a lot of flavors!!! The French fries were very good. Nice crunch with a soft center. Washed it all down with an Aligash White. I'll come back again to try the quesadilla!!! Ended the night with a cappuccino.

    We were looking for something in between Waterbury and the shoreline. This place has come up a few times so we gave a try. First off, the driveway has 1 entry/exit and cannot fit 2 cars passing. But there is off street parking. We had a party of 6 and, despite a whole diningroom being empty, there was only 1 table that could accommodate us. It was a tight fit, but doable. Fresh popcorn on the table to start is a nice touch. We got waters, ordered drinks, menu looks great; lots of options. My husband got a spiked arnold palmer....lemonade, iced tea, vodka. He said it wasn't good, mostly vodka. We ordered nachos and fried brussel sprouts. Everyone agreed that the brussel spouts were delicious! The nachos would have been great if the chips weren't covered in salt. The chili was perfectly spicy. The guac was delicious. Lots of cheese, but the chips had so much salt, you could see it. By this time we needed another round of drinks, or at least some water refills. Our server was no where to be found. Every water on the table was empty, including the drinks we ordered. By now our dinners were coming out a few at a time. All was looking good. But, 1 person in our party needed a gluten free meal and she discussed this with our server. She ordered tacos and reminded the server to make sure everything was gluten free. Her tacos came with fries. The fries appeared to have a coating or a breading. This usually means they have been floured. Being skeptical and cautious, this was mentioned to the server who argued that she knew they were gluten free. Not taking the chance, we asked for the sweet potato fries instead. The server complied. As meals go, nothing was outstanding. The mac and cheese was very cheesy and tasty. The Cordon bleu was good and the plate was finished. As for the sandwhiches, mostly they were bland. The cuban was dry. The steak and cheese just ok. The California chicken panini, my dinner, was fresh and hot, but I felt like I needed to dip it in something. It needed more flavor. It took a while, but eventually we got another round of drinks. Our server was just not around when we needed something. We did finally order dessert...creme brule and chocolate peanutbutter mousse. Both were pretty delicious. Then we sat with empty glasses, again, and waited about 30 minutes for the server to walk by so we could ask her for the check. All in all it wasn't a bad experience, but it wasn't a fantastic one either. The food wasn't bad, some was actually really good. It just wasnt consistent. The service wasn't great. Maybe it was an off night? They didn't seem short handed, but you never know whats going on behind the scenes.

    J. Roo's Restaurant is a restaurant and bar that opened in North Haven, Connecticut in 2002. It was…read morefounded by husband and wife Sal and Virginia "Ginny" Mazzaro. For close to 25 years, the Mazzaro family operated Vic's Pizza on Quinnipiac Avenue. Eventually, they had an idea to open something bigger and better with a more extensive menu. The restaurant was named for their son Jason, who goes by the nickname "J. Roo". Originally, the restaurant was billed as "J. Roo's, home of Vic's Pizza". The extensive menu consists of Italian specialties, seafood dishes, steakhouse entrees, New Haven-style pizza, burgers & hotdogs, sandwiches & wraps, salads, soups, wings, various bar bites, craft beer, wine, and specialty cocktails. In 2015, J. Roo's temporarily closed for a major renovation. The current, larger restaurant space opened the following year. My family and I recently had dinner at J. Roo's. My wife and I have enjoyed their food a few times in the past, but this was the first visit for our two sons. We were all seated at a booth in the main dining area. J. Roo's makes great wings and other various types of bar appetizers, but we were all in the mood for some New Haven-style pizza. We decided to order two medium pizzas: the "Pesto" (white pie, fresh mozz, grilled chicken & garlic pesto sauce) and the "Meatball Ala Vodka" (vodka sauce, meatballs, fresh mozz); the latter was a special. These pies were EXCELLENT! Really crispy crust, great sauces and really good toppings! Although the meatball pie was a special, J. Roo's should really consider making it a permanent addition to the menu. My wife and I washed our pizzas down with some delicious Foxon Park Birch Beer. Overall, we had a great visit at J. Roo's and look forward to returning!

Got this from a recommendation, however, it didn't live up to my expectations. The egg rolls weren't filled with cheese like I expected from the title and description on the menu. The curly fries weren't filled with the best thing to me. Fries are very hard to mess up. I didn't enjoy the flavor of the sauce the came with the egg rolls, it tasted like ranch mixed with some sort of cheese spread. My colleague had the pizza slice and it was dried out. the cheese appeared to be reheated multiple times and greasy. I would only come back here to try something else if it was my last option.

They were the thick kind, and well executed. They offered salt and vinegar seasoning, which I had never seen before for rings. Very tasty. The vibe is kind of dark inside.

    This place is so good! It's the perfect spot if you need a healthy, flavorful, home cooked meal but…read moredon't have the energy to cook. It reminds me a lot of Blue Apron in terms of the ingredients and type of food, but it's all cooked for you and all you have to do is pop it in the oven. I've found the portions to be perfect and the price to be good, too. TBH, it's the same price (maybe less) as buying a fast food meal but it's better for you. Another interesting thing is that the food is actually all very healthy-- I think that the person who makes the food owns the health meal delivery company next door (Strong Kitchen) and he will make meals that you might get at a restaurant but healthier (less butter, calories, etc.). He is really talented so even though the food is "healthy" the spices make it taste like something you would buy at a restaurant. I definitely recommend this place as a healthy alternative to fast food!

You go into the bakery and the strong kitchen walk-thru is there . Luke is the owner and his Mom runs this quaint little to-go spot. There is a few bakery items and fridges with to-go homemade meals ranging from 9 bucks to 15 (pricey so I didn't give it more stars ) . He is a culinary chef and makes homemade meals daily. Today I decided on beef short ribs with horseradish mashed potatoes and crispy broccoli. (11.50). I didn't try this meal til the day after yet it held up in flavor and juiciness (meat tender and flavorful) I thought the mashed would taste dried out but the horseradish kept it's texture . The meals come in a aluminum type container ,so easy to pop right in your oven later. Each container has oven instructions on them . I saw lasagna,chicken meals and Shepard's pie with bechamel sauce and more. I tried some corn bread pieces when I walked in. What a great flavor it had . They have cobblers and other choices for dessert. There is more space to use and quite a small selection not really sure if they do more online business. Can't wait to see if more items become available.
