    Chicken piccata
    Susan S.

    I really had high hopes. Rest is in a dumpy industrial plaza. It just had to be a hidden gem. Meh, bland from the interior, to the waitstaff lackluster personalities to the food. Upon entering the place smells like musty basement carpet. And vaguely a cat scent permeates the area. Byob. I didnt see any soda on tables so there may be no option for carbonated soft drinks either. Water carafe brought to table had white flexs swirling around in it. Food was bland and wouldn't go back. Even the table house-made bread lacked a sourdough starter. Chicken piccata was loaded w capers and it shockingly extra lemony. Pork may have been boiled and marsala sauce ironically also tasted like lemon was infused into the sauté sauce. Not good. French onion soup was old because u can clearly see the onions have been sitting in broth in their walkin for far to long.

    Sesame Crusted Tuna.

    Happy Anniversary Lola's! This is my go to restaurant. The food is always amazing. My favorite is the sesame crusted tuna. It's perfect every time. The servers are experienced with the main dining and there is a great spot for larger parties. I had an engagement party here and a luncheon after a funeral and they accommodated our group without knowing "exactly" how many guests would attend. BYOB is a bonus.

    Fettuccine Alfredo-very creamy!

    Great BYOB with a small corkage fee. Chef selected entrees, and great preparation. The menu is small which is not a bad thing, an additional special menu for inside dining is available as well as take away. The dining room is small and basic, however service stands out. Good food with Good sized portions!!!

    Gnocchi with meatballs
    Dawn P.

    We had heard this restaurant was BYOB, which is always a plus. So we made a reservation to go check it out. When we showed up they somehow had lost the reservation, but were very accommodating and got us a table anyway. Food was delicious, the portions were large.the staff was very friendly. We cannot wait to go back and try it again. There are so many good choices on the menu. I highly recommend the fried green beans as an appetizer.

    Cranberry walnut salad.
    Amberlyn T.

    Cute little place. We walked in and didn't have a reservation and they accommodated us in no time. Our server was incredibly attentive and a pleasant young man. The food was fast, fresh and delightful. Large plates with plenty of leftovers, and it's BYOB! What more could you ask for. Going back for sure.

    Eggplant fries- what's left of them  very large serving easily enough for 4 people.

The small restaurant was like a deli with several tables inside and a lovely outdoor patio that really elevated its overall atmosphere. We placed our order at the inside counter and grabbed a table outside. Throughout our visit, we experienced extremely pleasant and gracious service from Fina and a young man, both of whom were cooking and delivering the food. Though this caused things to move on the slower side, they really had their system down to a science, managing our meals and the several takeout orders that I saw being collected. The lunch menu had various salads, sandwiches, and burgers on offer. I selected the Chicken Gyro, which used a real grilled chicken breast that had been sliced, rather than those pre-cut strips that always seem to contain fillers. The chicken was a tad dry, but the homemade tzatziki sauce, which was heavily infused with dill, helped to add moisture to the sandwich. I had opted for a whole wheat wrap, rather than a pita, and I loved that they had lightly toasted the completed dish, even with its inclusion of romaine lettuce and diced tomatoes. That method gave the wrap an improved texture and a slight crunch. I sampled a few of my companion's fries, which were thin, crispy, and had a real rustic flavor that resembled potato skins. They were great! Fina's Kitchen was a real gem, hidden among an industrial area and catering to the local businesses. It was a great find!

    After reading the great reviews about this place my wife and I had to try it for our "Hot Dog…read moreTuesday" lunch. I don't give out 5 stars easily. This little unassuming place deserves every one of them! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a very friendly man at the counter who seated us and brought menus. He turned out to be very helpful finding out this was our first time here. The store was well lit and clean. The tables were well spaced and not crowded in. My wife stuck to our tradition and ordered the RT 10 Dog with the spicy relish on the side. (Which was great for me) I couldn't resist The Hungry Bull burger. We'll just have to come back again for me to try their hotdogs. The 10' hot dog is a Martin Rosol's so the foundation of this hot dog is super strong. The sauerkraut was tasty and full flavored and just the right amount of mustard. My wife tried the spicy relish, that our server cheerfully supplied on the side, and it was a little too hot for her liking. Bonus for me. I got to put it on my burger. My burger came out stacked on a sturdy Brioche Roll with American cheese, onion straws and some very tasty horseradish crema. My burger was juicy and full of flavor. The onion straws brought the right amount of crunch. Halfway through I began to add in the spicy relish. Amazing. We got fries and onion rings and shared. The fries were big, crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside. Just the way I like them. The onion rings were amazing. I like when you bite into an onion ring and the whole onion doesn't come sliding out. These were perfect. Very good crunch and flavor. We have already decided that we will be back. I can't wait to try the hot dogs and the chicken sandwiches that were also calling my name.

I had a meatball sub, and my goodness, it was the best I've had in years; a perfect balance of sauce so that the meatballs didn't get overwhelmed. My husband had a chili dog and was gobsmacked at how they managed to elevate a seemingly straightforward dish. They used toasted bread, and the chili was the perfect amount. My son got one of their burgers and absolutely devoured it. Finally, their fries and onion rings are some of the best I've had in a while. I'm bummed that we are only in CT to visit family once a year, because this would definitely be added to our regular treat rotation.

The sandwich was very good and chicken was crispy. I also got a maple cream iced coffee. It was a different set up than I'm normally used to because the coffee was already in the cups that you could choose from in the fridge. There were about 10 different flavors to choose from.
