Esteva American Cafe, Guilford

This New York style bistro is located in a charming Victorian building overlooking the historic Guilford Green, just 20 minutes east of New Haven. Inside, the decor and menu is definitely appetizing. The menu varies widely, changing about four times a year, but it always surprises, serving an eclectic mix of contemporary and traditional American cuisine. For al fresco dining in the summer, request the patio, where the outdoor sculpture garden will delight you.
