The Everyday Gourmet — Restaurant in Hamden

First time customer, convinced a friend to try it also. I was embarrassed that I invited them . Why 4-5 $ more if we sit in the restaurant rather than take out? At least inform us of this when you had us the menu. The hamburger was mediocre especially for the price. I bought two take out items which quite frankly I believe were left over from catering jobs or just simply OLD as one item was "sour" in two days after purchase.I bought the lasagna which was the worst I have had in a long time.

I should have gotten out when I noticed the dust and cobwebs around the place and on the decor on the walls so close to the tables. My husband had the panini of the day, which was decent but definitely not worth the $14 . I almost never write bad reviews, but hey, if you call yourselves a gourmet establishment you need to live up to it. At least reduce the number of items on the menu, focus on what you can do instead of an ambitious 3 page menu. We’d chosen to eat there because of the rave reviews online but were sorely...
