We were die hard patrons of this restaurant until the last three times we were there we kept hoping and giving it another chance but unfortunately the last three times it's gotten worse and worse and worse although waitresses and waiters are apologetic they never offer a refund they just keep apologizing for the subpar disgusting food we're so disappointed cuz it used to be one of our faves no

The Original Vazzy's catered our wedding, and to say that they were spectacular would be an understatement. They were incredible. The food was amazing, the staff was professional and very nice, and they were right on point having everything out in a timely manner. I very highly recommend The Original Vazzy's for any event that you need catered! The restaurant is fantastic as well!

Home visiting family from out of state and they said they won’t serve me a beer because my ID is out of state. This is a made up policy. Absolutely ridiculous that they won’t serve me alcohol because of my real ID. The excuse was that they get a lot of college kids with fakes going there. A family style restaurant(NOT A DIVE BAR LIKE YOUD EXPECT FROM UNDERAGE PEOPLE TO GO TO)
Edit: when we left and came back for our reservation 30 mins later they sat out party down and served anyone who asked drinks without IDing! So clearly the policy they were so strict on wasn’t so strict! Who would’ve thought! The bartender even went so far out of her way to try and stop serving our party drinks midway through the dinner but it was too late!!! They’d already served us alcohol without IDing us. If they were so worried about fakes and underage customers you’d think they’d ID people before taking the orders and serving them L O L

I had the original Vazzys cater my wedding in Fairfield Connecticut. The food was great and the staff was amazing too. When I booked with this restaurant I had the pleasure of dealing with Kristine Dwyer. She made this whole experience a breeze. Food and service was excellent overall. Definitely happy with my experience here. Thank you :)
