It's in an historic building and also offers free ukulele workshops by one of the co-founders of the café (which I didn't get to see, lol). His handcrafted banjolike instruments - made out of tin boxes, wood, and bent quarters - are also offered for fun and for sale. I think I saw an Altoids guitar for $50. The soup of the day (tomato basil) was really good, but the fresh-baked BREAD is what really got me! And I'm not usually a bread person. Keep in mind they close at 3. Very glad to have stopped by to support this unique local place.

Drinks are moderately priced though it would be nice if they displayed their drink prices, as they do not anywhere. Lots of fun mixed drink options. Paid about $10 for margaritas and $6 for a 16 oz Mjc ultra , not too bad, $5 cover for shows. It does get pretty loud inside with the band playing . Service was pretty quick. We got some fries and a wrap which were average . They charge $10 for parking in the back, but there is street parking available near the other restaurants down the street. Would expect parking to fill up more near beach season. Overall would return for another show!

The owner brought over the wood and decor from an Irish Pub so when you walk through the door you have magically been transported to Dublin. Creative cocktails and many beers on tap along with traditional Irish food complete the scene. The food is a awesome mix of Irish and American dishes. Guinness Beef Stew, Bangers and Mash, PEI Mussels, Steak Frites, and seafood dishes are sure to make this a pub favorite. They also have live music on the weekends and trivia nights. Hats off to the staff who make this place a local Cheers favorite.

As we enjoyed our conversation and he had soup the restaurant started to fill up and it became much more lively with conversations and laughter. Next we ordered dinner.

My friend is a huge fan of karaoke, I'd much rather watch others then sing myself, occasionally I…read moremight sing too. While in Old Saybrook we came across Comfort Cafe, it's right next to Quality Inn Hotel. I think the guests of the hotel might be in on a pleasant surprise if they stop in here on a weekend night. Comfort Cafe aesthetically is nothing special, it just looks like a dive bar. They also serve food, I'm not familiar with it, we never saw a menu, or anyone order anything. My friend and I sat at the bar and had Twisted Teas to drink. This place ended up being a lot of fun! Singer after singer came on the dance floor, and brought the place to life. They even handed out instruments to random people. What a great touch! I've never seen this at a karaoke bar before. There were shakers, and tambourine drums, and the DJ himself had a djembe drum! This was so unexpected and lovely! People were dancing, singing and having a great time! I'm glad we discovered this hidden little gem.

I love Mexican food and there's definitely a time and place for Tex Mex food smothered in cheese and sauce, but La Llorona really stands out for the freshness and colors of its food. The margaritas are also very good and there are always some super interesting flavors on the special weekly menu. In my experiences, the service has always been fantastic. I typically go with smaller groups and we always receive our food pretty fast. I went for a work dinner with a group of 14 and the service was still very fast and our waiter was super funny and attentive. I have also never had to wait for a seat here due to the large number of tables, but the restaurant doesn't feel cramped. This is a great place near the beach and there is always ample parking.

Chips were very crispy. The chimichanga was stuffed with chicken, rice, bean and smothered over some Cajun queso. The food was solid, but nowhere near mind blowing according to the achievement and recognition on the wall. It also is way higher then other spots and for there price I would expect a lot more flavor and even complimentary chips. Staff and service was fair. Overall the food was fair and given the area there aren't many other Mexican restaurants to provide competition, won't be my first choice to eat within this area but I wouldn't be mad either.

In the summer, the 374 environment can be a little chaotic, but it was perfectly relaxed/comfortable now that's it the winter. For appetizers, I had the pork belly and liked that, some others in the group didn't care for it as much, expecting it to melt more in their mouth. For my entree, I had the Yuzu BBQ Ribs. The serving size was very generous. The ribs, mac and cheese, and cole slaw were all good. Service was attentive and friendly. When we had desserts, they brought out a candle with the birthday girl's dessert and sang. My only nitpick is we were not a big fan of the desserts. We tried the cheesecake and bread pudding this trip and were not huge fans of either. In the past, we had gotten crème brûlée and were not big on that one either. Overall, the food was very good and we will definitely be coming back in the future!

Much more than brunch!…read more I wanted to treat my parents to brunch and I found this truly unique venue where you can dine on a yacht on the CT River and dance/listen to music! It is the 2-hour fall foliage brunch cruise on the Lady Katharine yacht called the Mystique. You arrive by 10:30am at Eagle Landing State Park in Haddam, and everyone (I'd estimate about 150 people, tops) begins the boarding process. You have pre-assigned tables and can request to sit together with family/friends ahead of time. The buffet brunch is hot and ready as soon as you board which is great because there are literally no lines - it's a gradual process. Also, the food is out and replenished for a long time, so you don't have to worry about not getting any, e.g. if you decide to partake in the music and view on the top deck first, you can eat when you are ready. The buffet consisted of salad, rolls, salmon, stuffed chicken with a delicious cranberry stuffing, tortellini, tender beef tips with gravy, carved ham with a delicious sauce, Belgian waffles with fruit and cream toppings, eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, raw salmon w/capers and several desserts... I'm probably forgetting something. There is a cash bar but coffee, juice and tea are free ($3 for a fountain beverage which I thought was strange). The staff members were all incredibly friendly and attentive. There was a 3-piece band playing a variety of music on the top deck and people were having fun dancing. The views were amazing, especially seeing Gillette's Castle from the water. For only $50-ish dollars per person, this was an awesome alternative to your usual brunch buffet!
