Reviews for Dev's On Main in Niantic, CT
The hostess treated us - just two people - like an inconvenience the second we walked in the door. I understand it?s a Friday... night and it?s busy, but a smile & a hello-how-are-you instead of immediately snapping ?do you have a reservation? would reallymake a difference. ?? as someone who?s been a hostess, just making a suggestion!

My husband and I went to Dev?s for dinner recently after it was recommended to us by a friend. We had high expectations, as it... was described as a nice local restaurant with excellent quality food. Unfortunately, this was not the impression we were leftwith after leaving Dev?s. For an appetizer, we ordered the tomato salad with mozzarella balls. We were expecting a caprese stylesalad with fresh mozzarella balls, a few sprigs of basil, and delicious fresh tomatoes. Instead, we received a very small bowlwith 6 hard mozzerella balls and 6 tomatoes in a pool of balsamic vinegar. Yes, it was listed on the menu as a ?small plate?,however, when you charge $7.00 for it, I expect at least a little more finesse and a few more tomatoes. However, it was notcompletely underwhelming and I was hopeful the entrees would compensate for the disappointing small plate. Unfortunately, wenever had the chance to try our entrees. When I attempted to order a beet salad with grilled chicken instead of the fried andbreaded option that was listed on their menu, the waitress told me that they only had fried breaded chicken and it would not bepossible to fulfill my request. I said that was fine, then ordered it with salmon instead. Although it did irk me a bit that Iwould not have the option to get a healthy piece of grilled chicken instead of something fried when ordering a salad of allthings. My husband ordered the steak and we patiently awaited for our plates to arrive. Our patience started to dwindle onlyslightly after waiting 30 minutes, but the waitress was apologetic and said our meals would be right out. We said great, noworries! After 45 minutes, and watching at least 3 other tables who sat down after us get served their entrees, our waitressagain came over and told us that the cook overcooked my husband?s steak and that was why there was such a delay. After an hourof waiting and still not receiving our meals, we decided it was time to ask for the check and leave. My husban Read more

Have been wanting to eat here but haven't been able to get a table. Finally we were able to tonight but we called ahead and... there were tables open. Asked for a bigger table due to a wheelchair. No problem we were told. Came in the front, handicapaccessible. Was sat right away but the man was trying to sit us at a table that wouldn't fit a wheelchair. We told him wejust called about this. So lack of communication between staff. He had to ask before seating us. We finally got to the table. Got drinks. I ordered Chicken Palermo and my boyfriend got NY Strip. We asked for the meat to be cut because we have troublecutting meat due to disabilities. My boyfriend even showed her his disabled hands and she had asked if he wanted a differentmeal then because they didn't want to cut the meat. What ! Now this has never happened before at any restaurant but we were toldthat they wouldn't cut the meat for us to accommodate us. I said that's a first a restaurant not helping out when needed. Shesaid she'd bring a knife and I could cut it. I said I also have difficulties due to my disabilities. I was so disappointed. Isaid fine ill try. Our meals came and my boyfriends meal was actually cut into strips so we were happyish that they attempted.Our meals though were totally delish and it made the night more enjoyable . The waitress was attentive and came by to see how weliked our meals and she had the chef attempt to cut the meat. We appreciated the effort. As we were leaving she opened the doorand said hope we come back. Nice evening. Felt like the waitress try to redeem herself . Just disappointed. Read more
The atmosphere is great and staff was super friendly. Unfortunately we weren?t thrilled with our dinner choices. We?ve heard so... many great things about Dev?s but for us it didn?t live up to what we have heard from others. Maybe our tastebuds were just offtonight. We?ll have to stop by and try again.

A little pricy and smaller interior a little claustrophobic. It was very busy so the wait was a little longer the place was... completely packed. The food was great however. Highly recommend. Cozy little place. Good drinks. Read more
