The new shop boosts an impressive array of Ale & Lager coolers with a chilled behind-the-scenes browsing space. Ample shelf and floor displays for the bottled spirits and wines. Knowledgeable staff eager to assist & recommend. But most astonishing is their Fine Wine Closet (aka Environment Controlled Chiller). Yes, the prices do reflect the use of the Chiller, but again, if you're a discerning shopper or collector you've got to add This Wise Old Dog to your list!

Went for "girl dinner" on a Thursday and it did NOT disappoint…read more They have a special with a kale Caesar salad, fries, and an Aperol spritz for $25! (You can add chicken tenders for an upcharge $10) The drink can't be swapped for another alcoholic drink, but you can switch it for something non-alcoholic if you want. Everything was sooo well flavored. The kale Caesar? Literally to die for. I never take salad home because it gets soggy...but I ate it the next day and it was STILL so good and the croutons were somehow still crunchy The chicken tenders were amazing, the fries were perfection, and even though I'm not usually an Aperol spritz girl, I finished the whole drink 10/10 would go back for girl dinner

The Laurel Brunch today was selected for a special birthday--it was a delicious, pleasant…read moreexperience. The interior of the restaurant was lovely- beautiful wallpaper; comfortable booths. Food and cocktails were delicious.We shared delicious Brussels sprouts and chicken wings for appetizers. I had a creamy tofu scramble for my meal. My companions all had egg dishes which they all said were very tasty. For dessert I had scrumptious Tiramisu- not too sweet, just right! My companions had slices of confetti cake - the frosting was meringue! Their specialty cocktails were varied with interesting, flavorful combinations- not the usual. I decided to try a Manhattan instead which was very, very smooth. Our server, Lonnie, was very gracious and attentive. At the end of our brunch she served us sparkling wine, courtesy of The Laurel with a happy birthday note for our birthday celebrant- such a lovely surprise!

Last night I went there to purchase wine, beer, and liquor for holiday giving. The usual guy takes my debit card and gives me a receipt for $125 and change. Note: this place **never** offers or gives a receipt unless the customer requests one. I think to myself, that's pretty high for two six packs of beer, two bottles of wine, and a bottle of liquor. BUT, I think, I'll check the receipt when I get home. When I got home and inspected the receipt I noted that it is NOT itemized, it just says $125 paid. So I go online and see the Connecticut prices of what I bought. I WAS FURIOUS -- I called the store and asked them to tell me what they charge for the few items I bought. The guy on the phone says that they MISTAKENLY charged me twice for everything. So I get back in the car, drive back to the store, they issued a refund and took back their goods. BOTTOM LINE -- these places that don't give receipts are suspect. I AM NEVER GOING BACK to a place that rips you off, then inconveniences you to make it right.
