Die besten Restaurants mit Live-Musik in Hamden

We were greeted at the door and seated immediately. The ambiance was natural and magically perfect! The food arrived fairly quickly, fresh and tasty. The staff are all friendly and we didn’t feel pressured to leave. The cafe is situated within a beautiful store setting which works great in my opinion. I purchased nice faux candles in the store section before leaving. I can honestly say we had a wonderful time walking around and looking at all the items and plantings they had available before leaving. Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely!!!

I don’t know why I’ve waited so long to go here. Needed a place to dine for Christmas Eve and since Encore by Goodfellas was opened I decided to make a reservation. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I was impressed with the upscale classy decor. We were greeted by the hostess who took us to the upstairs level that we requested only to be more impressed with the atmosphere and classy vibe. The waitstaff was super attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. AND….what a menu! A large array of appetizers, salads, pasta dishes, steaks, seafood veal, pork, and chicken. Took me 15 minutes alone to decide what I would order, Well we placed the order and one dish was better than the next, absolutely outstanding and well presented large portions, Dessert was out of this world as well, Great Chef!!! Our dinner was so special that we decided to make another reservation for a few weeks down the line. Encore doesn’t deserve 5 stars, it deserves 10. Now this is coming from a native New Yorker who has had access to all the finest restaurants ( and dined in most of them as well). Encore by Goodfellas stands amongst them’

I don’t even know where to begin.. I came here to celebrate my boyfriends 40th birthday. The waiter we had was Lonnie and he was absolutely exceptional from point A to point B. Welcoming, kind, attentive but not overbearing, fast, personable and just all around accommodating thus helping me execute a perfect birthday dinner evening. The Branzino was by far the best I’ve ever had and got my boyfriends first time trying it, he was a huge fan. Love this place! Will be back again. Thank you Lonnie for your great service!

Wonderful neighborhood Italian restaurant - terrific food, lovely staff - feels like living in Italy!

We have brunch at Atelier Florian every Sunday morning for over a year. We have had a delicious meal from a varied and enticing menu in a quiet, intimate atmosphere every week. We have gotten to know our favorite waitress, Trinity, and all the other waitstaff, from the chef (SO glad he's back!!) to the busboys. Everyone does his/her job pleasantly and professionally. The Bloody Marys are the absolute best! Every item on the Sunday Brunch menu is worth a try, from the Eggs Benedict to the "Homerun." The atmosphere is impressively understated, casual, and comfortable. Background music is pleasant while being hardly noticeable. (We miss the live guitar and piano music of the past that made the experience even more special.) The fact that we continue to go back week after week says it all. Whether we go alone or meet friends or relatives, Sunday Brunch at Atelier Florian is one of the highlights of our week.
