The mission stays the same though. Good food ties us to the memories and the people we love. I share the memories and the food I love. 3 years ago I started a little food truck breakfast in a little bar parking lot, today we call that parking lot ours and that little bar, is now Little Riggs.

    My wife and I have enjoyed coming here for the last year and a half. Every time this place never disappoints from service to food everything is exceptional. If you want a nice quiet intimate evening with amazing food and exceptional drinks this is the place you wanna go.

    The food is absolutely delicious, but it would be nice to have a few lighter entrée choices as well.  the service was exceptional. The drinks menu was fun!

    This location has been many different restaurants over the past 4 decades. I used to live in Branford many years ago, but I am still local enough. I’ve been to two of the previous venues that were here. This is the best so far (and the others were really good). Wonderful spot for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Quiet, excellent food and service, and apparently they have a different dinner menu which I look forward to trying in the future. Will definitely be back.

    Excellent food and service. Went on live music evening and noise levels were still low enough for a pleasant conversation.

    This is our new "go-to" spot near our home for amazing food, great wine pairings, and a simply special experience on the Branford, CT, coastline!

    Great lunch spot with some unique choices and reliable burgers and friendly staff. Highly recommend!!! Make a reservation if you can as the place is small and you may have a wait.

    Absolutely fantastic experience. Bistro atmosphere. Service was excellent, friendly knowledgeable about all the dishes and wine. Menu lovely diverse options. Each of our dinners was delicious and prepared with elevation and nuance flavors. We had shrimp and grits, mole short rib and both superb. Ending with two delicious desserts the churros and chocolate sauce best and a delicious fig type tarte so scrumptious. Will be back for sure. A true gem.
