UNION LEAGUE REVIEWS

I had one of the best meals I have ever had in Nee Haven. Everything was perfect, from the service to the dessert. Highly recommend giving it a try! The escargot with those little pastries were divine. The lobster was beautifully presented and delicious. Th steak encrusted in bone marrow stole the show! And as an Old-Fashioned aficionado, I can’t express how happy I was with my drink. I’d definitely be coming back soon.

Wonderful experience. No complaints, service tight, food exquisite. I had rainbow trout, easily best I've ever had. My friend had duck confit, we shared the grand marnier souffle of the day, served with vanilla ice cream, shortbread crumbles and the most wonderful heated chocolate for drizzling. I thought lunch prices were very reasonable, atmosphere not stuffy, service attentive but not intrusive. Wish I could give 6 stars. Can hardly wait to go back for the duck.

The service was impeccable and the food was sublime. This may have been the best food I’ve ever had! The waiter was knowledgeable and the staff provided us complimentary desserts and a card for me and my partner’s anniversary! We will definitely be returning, there’s no place like it.

CHOUPETTE CRÊPERIE & CAFÈ REVIEWS

I absolutely adore this place. Why make the trip to France when we have France right here in New Haven. The owner is wonderful. You feel Welcomed as soon as you walk in the door. The perfect selection of crepes made fresh right up front. I had the Complete Veggie which was absolutely delicious. I brought my French mother home the, “my mom is in a good mood” crepe which was a light delightful crepe with fresh maple syrup, cheese , fresh berries and walnuts. My mom loved it! She said it tastes like the crepes her mom used to make! I plan on bringing her on my next trip there. It’s a clean quaint little cafe. The perfect escape on a gloomy work day! I’ll be back.

Great place for food and coffee! Their cappuccino is one of the best I have had in a long time. Their crepes are very good with good selection of flavors. Can’t go wrong with anything they have.

Lovely little restaurant! Everything on the menu they do well here. Food comes out fast and staff is very friendly.
