Amazing experience! From the moment you walk in the door you know you have arrived a wonderful journey. Food service and did I say service! Don’t pass this one up

our 1st brunch at Gioia & of course it didn’t disappoint. So many great dishes it’s hard to choose - so we got a lot - haha. Must try’s - Cacio e pepe scrambled eggs, the Breakfast Sandwich, Eggs Benedict. They had a beef checks hash special - if they have it - GET IT! so much more to try across their menus - we’ll be back.

To say this is an amazing restaurant, is an understatement. For over 40 years, my family has been coming here and this evening we celebrated another birthday. We frequent here but have always made sure to celebrate my wife's birthday with her favorite meal. Tonight was an amazing experience as the entire restaurant sang happy birthday. We look forward to many more years celebrating.

Food was delicious. Best crab cakes I’ve ever had . Drinks were great and the staff was very attentive and polite. . Ambience is 10/10. My new favorite spot in New Haven

This was our first time going to Lobster Shack. The place was decorated for Christmas and what a wonderful job that was done. Made the atmosphere awesome and festive. Our server Mara was excellent. We had 2 appetizers, crab cakes and ricotta balls in a vodka sauce. They were the best we have had. Our entree's were excellent as well. Hot Lobster roll, Broiled scallops, Broiled Cod and Shrimp Florentine. We will definitely be heading back to Lobster Shack soon.
