Temple Grill - New Haven

The staff were so preoccupied with their cell phones that we had to ask for water, silverware, napkins, and missing items several times. I don’t think I’ve seen a lazier staff in my entire life. Food was semi decent, but I would never go back bc of service.

Restaurant was closed, after receiving reservation confirmation twice (had to switch times, well before the half-hour grace period requested). No notice sent or posted on the restaurant itself. Phone number not working, either.

Very upsetting that I made a reservation for 11am via Open table to park the cars (plural) walk to Temple Grill to see a sign that says they don’t open till 11:30am. We then left our cars had to google another place that hard brunch on a Saturday and walk 5 blocks so we didn’t have to find and pay for parking again VERY DISAPPOINTED!! You would think that someone from Temple Grill would have seen our reservation prior to the opening time and contacted me.

Great food , great service. They also make great drinks. The calamari is amazing add hot peppers for sure. Salads are very generous. All the food is very good and very generous portions.

A friend and I had a wonderful meal using the SALAD CARD at this restaurant. Great selection of greens, add ons, dressings. Service was attentive and efficient. Music was nice too. Highly recommment. Parking in New Haven is an issue we parked at the Omni Hotel across the street which was $6.40 per hour. Pretty steep for parking. But the meal was great and offset our gripe about parking cost.
