We had been on our way from the Turtle Cafe to pick up prosecco for Sunday mimosas when we came upon a broken, burned building. Completely destroyed. I felt so awful for them. You cannot imagine how excited and happy I was to see a sign for the new shop just up the street months later. I had to stop to make sure it was real. Sure enough there was Cindy at the counter! All of the customers, myself included, smiled back at her when we checked out and told her we were so happy to see them back up and running! All that aside, Cindy has a great selection of wines and beers. She is always willing to put in request orders as well. Wandering through her coolers, I have come across many gems including Pipeworks' Ninja vs Unicorn. Her shop is the only place I have been able to find it so far! The last time I was there, a woman from Gooseneck Vineyards was also there doing tastings. An added bonus with more space! If you are in the area, this is a great bet for meeting your beverage needs.

Back to Bistro to celebrate my wife's birthday. We made a reservation Saturday night. Upon…read morearriving, we were seated promptly, even though we arrived early. We were waited upon shortly after being seated. The dining room is spacious, nicely lit, and the seating at tables is comfortable. We decided to go with all tapas to share. We started with a nicely dressed house salad. Then we ordered and shared grilled shrimp a la plancha, empanadas, chorizo, and lamb-beef-pork skewers. All were nicely plated and delicious. We each ordered a Spanish rose which was a perfect accompaniment to the tapas. We celebrated my wife's birthday with a scrumptious order of chocolate lava cake served with a scoop of ice cream. Service was friendly and professional. Sadly, however, the dining room was noticeably not busy. We wondered why- could it have been that people were worried about the upcoming blizzard and just decided to stay home? What a shame. This is a really fine restaurant. If in the mood for Spanish-influenced cooking, then you really must give Bistro Mediterranean Grill and Tapas Bar a try.

We arrived around 4:15 to catch the Happy Hour. When we arrived, we noticed the slight musty smell…read moreright at the entryway...not a good impression. We asked the bartender if we could enjoy the Happy Hour at one of the tables, he said, No. Only at the bar. Something that was not spelled out on the menu nor the website. We sat at the bar. The menu listed the house gin at $5. I asked which Gin did they use as House Gin. The bartender said, I can give you Tanqueray but the price is not $5 like the menu says, it's $7. He said that menu was from Milford, not Westbrook. Weird...so I get a glass of wine, which did ring at $6 like the menu said. We ordered a few "tapas". Out of the four that we tried, the best one was the turnover (empanada), then the meatballs (tiny meatballs), then the fried calamari (which tasted and looked out of a frozen wholesale fried calamari bag) and last the pork medallion (not tasty at all). When the bill came, two of the tapas had the wrong price (higher than what the menu said)....I had to ask the bartender to rectify, which he did.....Poor people the ones that do not check their bills....they can easily be overcharged here....Big time..... Not recommended....not coming back.

Very basic. Asked for flavoring and they have more sweeter stuff: strawberry, pomegranate Food and drinks were all out quick We were specifically looking for dog friendly places online and found an ad for "Yappy hour"; dog friendly food and drinks. Although this was an ad from last year unknowingly, we were still able to get a puppy bowl for our dog (hamburger, hotdog carrots and treats). Who I'm assuming was the owner, came out, greeted us, made some small talk and was on his way. Staff were friendly and food was good.

In the warmer months, there are several picnic tables to enjoy your meal outside (this area is dog friendly too!). My friend and I sat at the bar and were lucky enough to be greeted with some live music. The bartender was friendly and attentive. The menu isn't large, but it has a good variety of food and drink options. I opted for the Cowboy Griddle Wrap with chicken and a pumpkin cider. The wrap was flavorful with cowboy caviar, avocado, and cilantro lime aioli with chicken and melted cheddar cheese. If you are in the area, it's a great spot for a quick drink and bite to eat.

Each was perfectly prepared, and the sides were familiar, but updated creatively. I didn't expect the Thai fried rice to so perfectly complement the duck, but the richness of the duck balanced the dish. The wine menu listed Pez 734 / 2nd Pez, a rich and powerful wine from Saint-Estephe, as a perfect match for duck and beef - the menu was exactly right and we were very happy with our choice. We had never been here before, but came as recommended by our cousin - everything was so good and the menu had a bunch of other options that we wanna come back to try, so we will definitely return when we're back in Connecticut.
