I love this place. They have the best food. The workers are very nice. Service is wonderful. The food is delicious. There's so many options. It's always packed but that means you know it's worth it. I definitely recommend this. Try it out.

My girlfriends and I would come all the time when we went to college at Fairfield. Coming back to visit I brought my own family which was surreal. It wasn't too crowded on a Tuesday night so we got seated right away. We probably were a bit underdressed as it can be a nicer place to go for dinner. It is on the pricier side for sure. When it's busy it can be loud, but it wasn't bad. Our waitress was nice. They still had the same menu items which made me happy. I got the angel hair bolognese which was so delicious. My husband did the angel hair shrimp pasta which he said was good, wished the tails were already off though lol. My step daughter and her friend got the cheeseburger and they said it was good, one was very overcooked though. It was nice to be back and see nothing had changed.

Place was packed! Came in on a friday night with reservations for 11 and we were seated in the far back where we could still enjoy the conversation over the noise by the bar. Food was good, nothing spectacular but good none the less. Considering the party we had all the entres came out on time and were cooked accordingly.

My friend and I wanted to eat a nice leisurely lunch outside on a gorgeous day before heading to a late afternoon movie next door. Although we arrived just shy of the 12pm opening, they welcomed us to sit and order drinks. The outside dining area is lovely with lots of flowers and plants, and a relaxed atmosphere. Our waitress brought water and took our drink order right away. We were in no rush to order which I think may have aggravated our server as she seemed annoyed, grimacing, and then aloof for the remainder of our visit, which definitely put a damper on our experience. My friend chose the wedge salad with steak and I decided on the Brie Croquette salad. I am not usually a fan of fruit in my salad, but the apples and strawberries melded perfectly with the arugula and candied almonds. The dressing was light and flavorful and the Brie croquette was a creamy and crunchy delight. I also enjoyed the crostini with fig jam. The wedge salad with added streak was tasty and both salads were good portions. The dessert menu looked great and we would love to try next time. The bathroom was immaculately clean. On street parking only.

This past Friday, I went to the Indiana Jones premiere with my girlfriend Elizabeth and her parents. Prior to the viewing, we went to grab dinner at Old Post Tavern. We started off the dinner with the popcorn shrimp and the soft pretzels. Both of these small plates were delicious. I highly recommend the popcorn shrimp. Elizabeth and her parents got cocktails that they thoroughly enjoyed. After they finished their cocktails, her parents got wine with dinner. For my main course I got a half order of the lobster ravioli. I found it to be the perfect size for my dinner, and it was a savory dish. Overall, this restaurant had great atmosphere, service, and food. What more can you really ask from a restaurant? God Bless America and God Bless Food!

Had a great night with family and it was nothing less than fabulous! Sat outside and it was beautiful. They have heaters, in case it is cool. The food, excellent! Clams on the half shell, juicy, fresh. Had zuppa di pesce and it was amazing! Even had scallops and a nice piece of salmon! Others had the mussels, spaghetti with clams, shrimp and tuna tar tar. Everyone's food looked good and all said it was great. Service was friendly, helpful and the drinks were good too. I highly recommend this restaurant.
