The egg was perfectly runny, the pico de gallo added a fresh kick, and the cheese tied everything together so well. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying.

Atrocious service. After waiting for more than 30 mins the server comes over and told us that…read morethey're out of an ingredient for one of our orders. So my daughter had to select another sandwich. She apologized for the delay stating that they had printer issues back there. So basically she was not checking on the status of our order for over 30 mins !! There were only 4 tables with customers and 2 were done eating. There were 2 servers! Our food was finally delivered after the other table, who arrived way after us. After waiting for an hour our food was not even hot! My daughter's sandwich had burnt bacon (this is the new replacement for what she originally ordered). Our server was nowhere to be seen after we were done so we asked the other server for a box and our bill. Finally our server arrives with the bill. No apology for the delay or poor service, no acknowledgment of the service failure at all. Paid full price!! We will not come back and sharing that one of the waitress is just awful!

I'd seen this place recommended on Yelp a few times but had never made it over until today. When we walked in, we honestly thought they were closed because there was only one four-top occupied and one person sitting at the bar. We grabbed a table for two, and I started with a mimosa while my sister ordered a coffee before eventually joining me with a mimosa. She had the OG breakfast sandwich, a classic that really hit the spot. I ordered the Madame Monsieur with fries, and everything was cooked perfectly. The food tasted fresh and made to order, which is always appreciated. Our server, Angelina, also made an excellent mimosa the orange juice to Prosecco ratio was just right (a small detail that makes a big difference!). Service was on the slower side, but from what we could tell, Angelina was the only server working, so it was understandable. The restaurant itself is small, cozy, and has the charm of a little café, making it a nice place to enjoy a relaxed brunch. Overall, a very enjoyable first visit. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu.

Hot-crispy fries and chips seasoned perfectly. Chicken sando on a great focaccia was a banger. Beverage was a Fuzzy baby duck IPA. Quirky and I couldn't pass it up. Highly recommend!!!

My review addresses only the many vegan dishes here, so unless you're vegan you might want to skip…read moremy review. Nellie's is a surprising vegan-friendly restaurant in an equally surprising dockside location. Off the beaten path from downtown Branford, it is easily overlooked amid all the large pleasure and fishing boats both moored in the Branford River and dry-docked on land and in colossal hangers. Given its maritime environment, you'd expect its menu would be heavy with fish and sea animals, yet it also offers many vegan options, in fact more vegan dishes than vegetarian dishes. Don't be dissuaded by its nondescript name more appropriate for a horse, as in "Whoaaaa, Nellie." As evidenced by a streetside old signage, its more decorous former full name was Nellie's Green Restaurant, but somewhere along the way the word "Green" unfortunately got dropped from the name. Fortunately, its many vegan dishes were not dropped from the menu. They speak fluent vegan here. In addition to being marked with "V" for Vegan, the word "Vegan" stands out as the predominant first word in the names of the vegan dishes. That's Vegan 'Crab' Cakes. Vegan Layer Dip. Vegan Ceviche. Vegan Tacos. Vegan 'Crab' Cake Wrap. Vegan Burger. There's also Avocado Toast, Guacamole and Chips, several entrées marked "VO," meaning Vegan Option by omission, and two salads and several side dishes, for instance Blackened Tofu, that all happen to be vegan without making a big show of it. I recommend the Vegan Burger, which is a house-made black bean patty, not pre-fab Beyond Impossibility mock meat. It comes by default with potato fries, but faulting deep-fried food I was able to upgrade my burger with one of the several vegan side dishes, in my case the Grilled Zucchini, which was delectable. My soul-mate soy-mate lunch-mate ordered the Vegan Tacos and a side of Blackened Tofu, and she enjoyed both. The spacious outdoor patio is larger than the ample indoor dining area, is fully sheltered from the blazing sun or dripping rain, and is perched right alongside the river, though during boating season the river is so cluttered with boats that it can hardly be described as picturesque. With the recent closure in nearby Westbrook of our dearly beloved all-vegan Shayna B's by the Sea, we intend to return to experience both Nellie's and the harbor during their quieter seasons.

Arturo's offers top-flight Mexican and Italian cuisine in an intimate, comfortable setting, complete with a cozy bar. It is sophisticated yet casual, and, happily, not loud.

After reading all of the reviews about the corned beef hash, I have to say I was totally disappointed. There is no way that this is house made. I love corned beef hash, and I make it frequently.

Breakfast and typical diner food. They have great breakfast specials, and the prices are extremely reasonable. Almost so low that I'm wondering how are they staying in business?
