Sandra was responsive and professional in coordinating the event and pulled everything off flawlessly. Compared to other venue options, the Club was also very reasonably priced.

Their reservations staff has been exceptionally helpful, their service is excellent, and the food is worth coming back for. (Their popovers are justifiably famous.) The only problem is parking: there is a lot behind the Club that can be used by the public in the evenings and on weekends, but the Club shares the lot with several of the surrounding academic buildings, and parking can be tight, even after the close of the school day; during graduation week, the public can't use the lot at all. Fortunately, there are parking garages in the vicinity if you're willing to walk a couple of blocks.

Opening night can have its challenges, but overall, the State House venue is very promising…read more More could have been done with the space aesthetically. And there are pockets of the space with super bright lights. And bathrooms by the entrance is weird. (Plus, there's a bigger bathroom in the basement.) That being said, the wood floors are good for dancing, and the sound system is pretty good for the size of the space. It has a subtle warehouse club feel, which is great for the New Haven scene. The event itself had some issues, like pure silence before the opening act. Felt a bit amateur; at least try to transition! Also, there was a big gap between the openers and the headliner. The guy doing tickets basically shrugged. The crowd on this given night was pretty diverse and excited to hear DJ Lag, whose unique genre of electronic music kept most of us intrigued and entertained. No liquor license yet, which was a drag. Looking forward to seeing who else comes to this venue.

My stay the New Haven Lawn Club on a family visit to Connecticut yielded a positive impression of…read morethe accommodations, hospitable staff, dining and recreation facilities. A 5-star private social club in the Platinum Clubs of America, it is situated on Whitney Avenue near the Yale University campus, and two blocks from Ingalls Rink and State Street (home to Modern Apizza, our favorite in the Pizza Capital of the World). The New Haven Lawn Club offers five comfortable, spacious overnight guest rooms and one suite, a main dining room seating 200, and a grand ballroom seating 300 that was being used for a wedding reception the night we stayed there. The fitness center and four squash courts are open 24x7. Outdoors, there is a pool, toddler pool, eight Hart-tru tennis courts, two paddle courts and a playground. Guests enjoy free parking and wifi. We enjoyed pre-game cocktails in the bar off the Grill Room, accommodating 100, where lunch and dinner are served Wednesday-Saturday, and where seasonal Sunday brunch and supper are available. A unique feature of the club is art exhibits hung in the rotunda outside the Grill Room. Rebuilt in 1931 after a fire destroyed the original two years earlier, the clubhouse was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2003. It also is designated A New Haven Landmark by the New Haven Preservation Trust.

Mind you I live in Florida. Spoke to number of front desk people all nice. I was promised a call from them manager to fix the situation. Its been over a week now and no call from the manager. The manager name is Emma Swann. Promised multiple times within hours she will call and nothing. Its sickening. No concern for the guests.I am beyond annoyed As she clearly doesn't care I was robbed. Still have this charge on my credit card. I will never stay at The Blake or refer anyone to stay . Plenty great hotels in New Haven. IF you havr any issues do not expect Emma Sean to resolve anything. I try everyday to reach her with no avai.

We were welcomed with freshly baked bread and a warm gougère, which reminded me of Brazilian pão de queijo. For drinks, I enjoyed the French 75 along with the non-alcoholic Pamplemousse, while my niece ordered the non-alcoholic Guadalupe. To start, we each had the French onion soup, which was rich, flavorful, and comforting. We also shared the foie gras torchon, which my niece described as incredibly smooth and creamy. For our entrées, we ordered the filet of beef and the rack of lamb. Both were cooked to perfection, and I appreciated that neither dish was overwhelmed with gravy or sauce, allowing the quality of the meat to shine. For dessert, we shared the mixed berry soufflé and the Feuillantine. The Feuillantine was my favorite--it was wonderfully rich, chocolatey, and creamy. Pairing bites of the light, fruity soufflé with the decadent chocolate dessert turned out to be a delicious combination. To end the meal, the restaurant surprised us with complimentary pistachio macarons, which was a thoughtful finishing touch. The restaurant has an elegant atmosphere that feels refined without being stuffy. Combined with the outstanding food and exceptional service, it made for a memorable celebration, and I'd happily return.
