I went to this restaurant with my wife and a few friends, which was recommended by a food guide. We had reservations at 7pm. When we arrived, there was only a few tables occupied. We were seated promptly. The interior was fair; tables had white linen, but covered with glass. Service was not at all good. When the waiter arrived to talk about the specials, it was difficult to hear him, because the background music was pretty loud and the waiter spoke softly. We needed him to say them a few times. The menu had a lot of items; a lot of meat dishes, especially one full back page for veal. Not much variety in pasta or vegetarian. Most dishes had either a wine sauce or tomato-based sauce. Hardly saw any cream-based pastas, nor lasagna (I thought this was Italian?). Portions were huge. My friends ordered a tri-color salad that was big and did not taste as it was described in the menu. They commented on some bitter tasting greens and lack of flavor from the dressing. We received some side salads that came with our meals, but the greens were flat and not dressed well; as if they were just thrown on a plate; I even had a piece of green stuck on the bottom of my plate. They only placed a bottle of balsamic vinegar and salad oil on the table for us. The pepper mill didn't even crank out visible pepper grinds, mostly dust. Entrees came on large dishes. My wife had the seafood mix on linguine, I had the seafood mix risotto. I forgot to mention that dishes that did not have tomato or wine sauce were mostly breaded or crusted. The linguine was cooked under al dente. The seafood was not at all cleaned very well. The mussels still had sand in them, and the squid parts still had beaks in them. The risotto was heavily cooked with tomato so it was difficult to enjoy the creaminess often expected from risotto. The wine list was half decent. Waiters just stood around, and was even difficult to grab their attention when we wanted to get the bill.
Pros: parking
Cons: large portions, service, neighborhood

FYI - They do not let you say certain keywords here so I am replacing the appropriate term with "Norwalk Virus".
Usually my girlfriend writes her own reviews, but she is sick with Norwalk Virus from the chicken tempura she had tonight at Akasaka - So I, her boyfriend will do the review for her.
First off the obvious: After hardly eating all day, we went out for dinner here, she had Chicken Tempura (which is now down the toilet due to Norwalk Virus) and I had the standard sushi combo. Both came with an iceberg lettuce salad with hardly any taste, luckily it was smothered with dressing (sarcasm). About half of the sushi on the plate was fresh, the rest a little suspect. The ginger and wasabi were the heavily food colored/loaded with msg type. The decor in the place is nice enough, although the accents seem like they were picked out by some frat house guys from a shop like Bombay in the mall. The waitstaff don't speak English, as we were asked 4 times if we ordered a Strawberry Daquiri. When I called to report the Norwalk Virus I was hung up on, so I drove back in person. After I was lied to and told that there was no manager, and that someone might call me, I began to raise my voice and suddenly a manager appeared. At first he refused to refund the dinner, stating that the food was fine. I tried to be cordial for nearly 5 minutes. It wasn't until I nearly went into an all out rage, threatening to call the h-e-a-l-t-h dept and file a department of homeland security report (INS) for staffing illegal employees that they finally refunded the dinner. I was scolded for being loud by a fat shape-shifting blob of a man at the sushi bar (I would have liked to hospitalize him, but he was with children), while others in the place seemed concerned that they might fall ill as well.
For heaven's sake do not go here!
Pros: None
Cons: Food, service, management, everything basically

My friends and I used to order food from Alpha Delta Pizza while we were at college in New Haven. The food is good and fairly priced; the only draw back is that the delivery takes quite a while to arrive. Their hours are perfect for college students because they deliver until 3 am during the week and until 4 am on the weekends. I would recommend Alpha Delta to both families and students.

Anna Liffey's is a great place to have lunch or dinner, or to just have a drink. Most of the establishement is located in the basement of the building, so it remains cool in the sumemr, and is well-heated in the winter. You'll find traditional Irish pub fare here, including fish-and-chips and Guinness stew. You might also have an Irish waitress! The bar is well-stocked also. Food is wonderful, prices are on par with similar establishments.

Sure, there's now a Cold Stone Creamery in New Haven where you can get whatever you want mixed into your ice cream. Who cares? Ashley's has flavors you'd never dream up on your own, but are orgasmicly good and exactly what you wanted before you knew you needed them. Seriously. Best ice cream ever.
My favorites - the sweet cream (no extraneous flavors to get in the way of absolutely pure ice cream...makes vanilla taste lurid) or coffee oreo (dark yet creamy, incredibly complex and textured)
And, the drawings (some by children, others by the childish) will keep you entertained as you eat, if you don't grab your cone and walk around in the summer evening.
