Excellent shows and a nice atmosphere.

Title: A Memorable Culinary Journey at Firehouse 12 Firehouse 12, nestled in the heart of New Haven, is nothing short of a gastronomic revelation. My recent visit to this remarkable establishment was marked by a cascade of flavors, immaculate service, and an atmosphere that merged elegance with a comforting familiarity. The food was a tour de force of creativity and craftsmanship, starting with the mushrooms. Their earthy, robust flavor was expertly accentuated with thoughtful seasoning and preparation techniques. Every bite was a testament to the chef's understanding of the ingredient, combining an array of textures that made each mouthful a pleasure to savor. The tofu dish was no less impressive. Tofu, often seen as a mere substitute, was championed here as a star in its own right. Its firm yet delicate texture paired excellently with the vibrant blend of flavors it was cooked in. This tofu dish was not just a culinary delight, it was also a statement that simple ingredients can indeed create extraordinary dishes when handled with mastery. As for the beverages, the mezcal I had was unbelievable. It had a smoky undertone that lingered at the back of your palate, adding a whole new layer of depth to the experience. The drink was well-balanced and complemented the dishes flawlessly, elevating the whole dining experience to a symphony of flavors. A highlight of the evening was the commendable service led by Ned, the bartender. His knowledge, professionalism, and warm demeanor added an extra touch of perfection to the evening. He ensured that the cocktails were mixed to perfection, and his ability to craft the mezcal into an unforgettable experience spoke volumes about his expertise. In conclusion, Firehouse 12 is a shining gem in New Haven's dining scene. It's a place where food is not just a meal but an experience, where service is not just a courtesy but a commitment. If you're in the city and looking for a memorable dining experience, make sure to make a reservation at Firehouse 12. Your taste buds will thank you.

Yuba shawarma is the best sandwich in Connecticut, hands down

I agree with the person bellow me. Best vegan food in New Haven hands down. I discovered them when they were just doing pickup and delivery but I can't wait to eventually try out the cocktails there once they reopen fully. Edit: I keep ordering from this place. How do they cook everything perfectly every time.

The food here is entirely vegan and I can say confidently that this is the best vegan food I’ve had in New Haven. I have had some really amazing vegan food in other cities and have been overall very disappointed with the vegan food that’s in New Haven but this place is the unsung hero. It gives me hope that there is good vegan food in the city. I had the impossible burger, potatoes and spinach. The food was flavorful and you can tell that the chef puts a lot of time into creating the menu options. I would love to come into the bar and sit down and eat. The indoor seating area is closed but you can order to go and I will definitely be ordering again.

Look, if I own and run a studio here in CT, and I’m leaving another studio a five star review, what does that tell you? Great studio and great team!
