South Bay offers a mixed dining experience, with some dishes lacking flavor while others shine. Standouts include the Chicken Scarpiello and some tapas offerings. However, some dishes, like the paella and organic salmon, fell short. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with friendly staff, although seating can be cramped and noise levels high. While the food can be hit or miss, South Bay remains a popular spot in downtown New Haven, especially for pre-theatre dining. Overall, the experience varies, with some guests enjoying the food and service while others find it lacking.
