I got the salmon with broccolini, smashed potatoes and avocado sauce ... outstanding. My friend got the Honey Sriracha Chicken. She loved it. I didn't take pictures of the food because we were either laughing with Danielle or busy eating so I forgot. I did manage to get a photo of our chocolate lava dessert. Eli's has been one of my go-to places for lunch and now I can add dinner.

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!

The weather was not great. I didn't try the food or drinks but my friends did and they seemed to enjoy it. It's nice to have a brunch spot that's not downtown New Haven.
