Wallingford was soooo over due for an upscale place like this. On top of creating amazing cocktails, the food and service is top notch. This review is for their Motown Monday happy hour special, burger and a manhattan for $20. Yes! You read that correctly. A burger served on brioche with a side of fries. This isn't your mom's frozen beef burger patty cooked in a frying pan then served on wonder bread with a side of krinkle cut Oreida fries from the frozen food section. You can go out to any cocktail bar in New Haven and spend $20 on a manhattan alone. Burger was juicy and well seasoned, filling. Manhattan was made to perfection AAAAAANNNNDDD!! They use the proper Luxardo cherries instead of the red dye number 5 maraschinos. Huge plus. Every other restaurant take note. If you're charging in excess of $15 for a manhattan it better have the luxardo cherry or you're just a piece of garbage and ripping off your clientele. The entire experience is capped off with a great playlist of music to create something much more than just a simple happy hour. Hope they continue this special. It's a nice way to start the back to work week.

Had dinner here last evening....definite return!! Food, service, decor was outstanding!! Our server Noelle was attentive, friendly and helpful. The owner made frequent rounds to assist her servers and guests. Wholeheartedly recommend; you won't be disappointed!

Brunch here was delightful, the cocktails were well balanced. Atmosphere is very welcoming.

Good food, great service, accommodated two people with Celiac. So you'll have gluten free options.

I came here with my husband and friends for a Sunday dinner. I didn't expect the restaurant to be in the plaza that it is, seeing how nice it is inside. I started off with the Spice Train - perfectly made. I split Sweet and Spicy Wings with my husband, while my friends had the Parker House Rolls, and Bao Bao Buns. I can't speak for my friends, but my husband and I killed the wings - that sauce was heavenly. For my meal, I decided to get the Half Chicken and added a side of their mashed potatoes with spinach. I loved the chicken and the squash puree. I wish the spinach was cooked in the mashed potatoes - this was my least favorite part of the meal. I finished my meal with some kind of molten cake that I split with husband - I can't remember the name. The flavor was good, but the cake was on the dry side. My reason for one star off is because the prices were pretty steep. Overall, I did enjoy my visit and plan to come back again!

The staff here is very sweet and accommodating. Was here for my best friend's birthday celebration and this restaurant made it so easy for us to have a great time! They made sure we all went home happy and we felt so welcomed. The place is very cute and cozy. The menu has a lot of options. The food was delicious!! The drinks are to die for with fresh ingredients. I really enjoyed this experience. Would come back for sure! The food had so much flavor.

This was our first time at the 619 and I have mixed emotions about it. First things first, they use OpenTable which I love. However, we called them directly because the app wouldn't accept the time we wanted, so for that kudos. Now, this establishment is nestled in the heart of Wallingford. We picked a busy night to visit this place, but we had theater tickets in the area. Anyway, traffic getting to this spot was pretty dense, but that's not a hit on the establishment. Just plan ahead for that. The restaurant was appealing for me. It's an intimate spot with a bigger feel to it; meaning it was noisy. We were greeted and sat promptly which I'm a huge fan of. Our server Julie was pretty cool. Attentive and personable which I always appreciate. We had a lovely bottle of red wine which was priced reasonably. The full bar is in sight of every table in the house and the bartender was shaking up cocktails left and right. Very entertaining. The menu was interesting. There were items like the bao bao buns that I'd never heard of and was anxious to try. We ordered a flight, which was a sampler of 4 very unique pairings. Everything that we ordered was visually appealing to say the least. I think that the 619 has a great niche for what it is. HOWEVER, it kills me to even mention a few of these discrepancies, but I try to be thorough without being douchey about it. The food itself, my other half and my son both commented on how salty everything was, maybe that's a little subjective, but that's our take on what we had. The lollipop chicken wings were pretty awesome. Great presentation on everything also. The portions were hearty and worth the prices in my opinion. My steak was a bit over cooked for medium, but I'll take half the hit on that for not being more obliging when the manager asked me to cut into it to double check that it was right. But my mindset is, I shouldn't have to if it's prepared the way I order it, right? Moving on, The thing that really got me was when the check came. We had just ordered dessert, it hadn't even been delivered to the table yet and Julie dropped the check on the table. We all raised our eyebrows at that one. Consequently, the dessert came out around 10-15 mins after the check had been dropped. I'm not gonna lie, that irked me the wrong way; and yes people were waiting to be seated, but that shouldn't affect our service, we felt rushed. Not cool. All in all, I want to try this place again, so please don't repeat the same indiscretions again. Plz and Ty.

"Yes Yes Yes! A million times yes!" This place is fantastic!! The service is friendly and attentive. We had cocktails to start, with complimentary housemade bbq chips followed by two unbelievable appetizers. The roasted brussels were to die for- the flavor was truly out of this world! The flatbread was delicious as well, topped high with fresh ingredients. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu! Only recommend is to consider making a reservation because this place is always busy (no surprise considering how great this place is)
