I normally wouldn't give a place like this a 2nd or 3rd chance, but I'm a local and just wanted this to be a good spot to stop in for a bite. Unfortunately this will always just be a place to sit at the bar, grab a quick domestic draft, and an app. The food is absolutely nothing to write home about. Classic pub fare, just with more grease and less flavor. You might even get something that's not room temp, if you're lucky. We gave this spot multiple chances, but they just seem to not be able to deliver.

Amazing,,if I'm being honest. I'm a bit of a food snob and would usually never eat in a strip mall…read morebar. Circumstances led me to this bar with a typical bar menu of burger fries etc. The Latina bartender sat my wife and I with a smile and mentioned the specials. All of them were Mexican. We ordered off of the specials menu and received what may be the best authentic Mexican food I have had. I have read here the reviews and can only assume that something drastic has recently happened to this quiet, clean, delicious gem of a bar. Whatever happened I am grateful and shall return

We were celebrating my husband's birthday, and everything about the evening felt elevated and intentional. I had the short rib ravioli, and wow--rich, tender, and perfectly balanced. My husband ordered the lamb chops, and they were cooked to perfection, full of flavor and beautifully plated. The pistachio martini was phenomenal, and the fried mozzarella is truly to die for. The service was flawless--attentive, on point, and never overbearing. The food was amazing, the vibe was perfect, and the overall experience was unforgettable. Five stars all the way. You won't regret it.

This time along with my spouse, I took my two sons and my daughter-in-law from Florida. The dining room is cozy with a bar along the inside wall. They also have a great deck for outdoor dining. The gentleman who served us must be a jack of all trades and a master of some, because he was exceptional in his service...without hovering.

Bartenders were great, it was so busy but they handled the rush very well (we barely waited for our drinks to come out, I was impressed!) I ordered the Devil (2024) drink and was very impressed. I will need to revisit for their updated menu this year!

The staff is always pleasant, the drink menu is perpetually (seasonally) changing. I've been coming here for years, the first time I came the menu was a deck of beautifully illustrated Tarot cards. This time around the menu was an illustrated picture book. And get this... the book had for codes to videos that created a "vibe" for the drink. The atmosphere here is a 6/5 stars, the staff is a 5/5, and the drinks are a 5/5. I love coming to this spot and make a point to stop by when in CT. Cheeseboard was also delicious. The mix of artisan cheese with honey is amazing, then throw in a salted cracker and some grapes with dried meats.... Phenomenal experience.

Went to The Forbidden Llama on May 2nd to celebrate an early Mother's Day brunch with my family…read more Our server, Jen, was very attentive and friendly, which made the experience more enjoyable. All of our food came out around the same time, which I appreciated. The ceviche was my personal favorite--super fresh and flavorful. The Peruvian street wok was also very well seasoned. The ambiance and scenery of the place are really nice and add to the overall vibe. There were a few downsides. Parking was a bit of a hassle, and for a Saturday, the place was surprisingly empty. Unfortunately, there were some men at the bar being rude to women, and at one point even flicked us off, which was uncomfortable. Jen handled the situation as best as she could and was very apologetic and reassuring. As for drinks, the towers tend to have a lot of ice, so by the time you get to the bottom, they're pretty watered down. The bottomless mimosas were definitely worth the price, but the service could be improved--I wish there was more consistent check-ins rather than having to flag someone down. Overall, I would go back because the food was really good, but I do think having security during brunch and improving drink service would make the experience much better.
