Went in on a Saturday night to grab some dinner and listen to a live band. I've been to The Chop…read moreHouse location in New Haven, so my expectations were high and I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, the little details and service prevented that. Their site says that they have 15 taps featuring local craft beers, but once we sat, we were immediately told they did not have a number of items on the menu. Very few of the beers were local, so I settled on a Yeungling, which was unfortunately flat, sour, and warm. I returned it, and our server was happy to get something else. He did not take it off the bill however which was disappointing. Our server let us know that he was a very experienced bartender, but every time a drink was served, he grabbed it by the mouth of the glass. Gross. Also, several times, the server would ask one person at the table if they'd like another and run away before seeing if everyone at the table was OK. The pizza was the saving grace, and just the way I like it... Thin & Crispy (as stated on the Staff's uniforms). Cooked in a cast iron skillet, it was a unique, and welcome twist. I went for the clam casino special, which was very good. I would definitely get it again if available. Maybe with a squeeze of lemon next time. My wife got the chicken cutlet with hot peppers which was also very good, but totally overloaded with garlic. Wedge salad was good, but could have used a little more dressing. Maybe they just had an off night. I will try them again, but my experience and other recent reviews seems to trend that the staff lacks leadership and needs a significant amount of training. If they could get the management and service right, this place could unlock a ton of potential.

I got the Klarides Village pizza and I wish I got something else. My husband's wedge salad was good and his clam casino pie wasn't bad. Burger presented nicely but lacked any seasoning and the cheese fries were tasty. I feel this place can be better, service be more consistent. Beer can be updated and fresh. Came for a music event and the lighting and stage are nice. Will come back to try pizza again, maybe just a sauce and cheese.

Staff were cool, drinks were cheap, music was loud, it was a damn good time. Had a steak sandwich and nachos to eat and they were delicious. I have to give special props to Mark, the owner. He was a really cool guy and I mentioned I was running low on funds and out of nowhere, he gave me a free beer and discounted drinks all night for me. This guy is the man. The place is a little hard to find, but it's located in between Church St. and Rubber Ave. I parked on Church St. and walked around to Rubber Ave. and it's located in a little hole in the wall, right next to the fire station.

That said, it does seem like the owner could benefit from hiring a few additional staff members to better keep up with customer volume. My party waited a noticeable amount of time for food and drinks, even though it wasn't particularly busy compared to times I've seen in the past. The service itself was great, and the staff worked hard despite being stretched thin. Overall, the food and drinks were excellent, and with a little more staffing, the experience would be even better.

The cringe is cringing here…read more Food- Basic; not enough vegetarian options. Waitress: She was kind and attentive; good energy. A lady behind the bar, (apparently is an owner) SO RUDE. I just adjusted the chairs to make sure my guest and kids were comfortable and not annoying the adult customers in bar area etc. She yells "MAY I HELP YOU WITH **MY** FURNITURE". Im not interested in your 1975 chairs but I am INDEED moving a chair so my nephew can sit down. Im thinking Im being HELPFUL so I don't have to bug anyone but instead, she tried to sh*t on me in front of other patrons. After that, our vibe was not vibing and we did not order drinks as we had planned and left. I was really hoping this tanking restaurant would have been a winner as we have a LARGE circle of friends in the town & I we all love giving business to mom and pops hanging by a thread. Too bad.
