A cute little place with outdoor dining a view of the Indian Neck Yacht Club. Just across the river is a hidden little place with good lobster rolls. Local flavor.

A restaurant centered around cheese. Good cheese. Good wine. Ask for local wine. Sit downstairs and you might think you're in a restaurant in the alps.

Sightseeing

Head down Orange Street toward the hill with the monument. Take a left when you can't go anymore. Go up the hill and turn right at the gate. Drive all the way up for the best view of New Haven, the Sound and Long Island on a clear day.
