Try the Frog & Peach in Hartford County.  It's located on Route 44 in Canton. It's somewhat expensive, but the food is interesting and excellent.  Not formal at all.   I think it's still BYOB.   If you're going on the weekend, make sure you make reservations at least a week in advance. Lunatic Fringe, We all know you're out there.

If you're in New Haven a pizza is a must. Visit either Sally's or Pepe's on Wooster Street...or Modern on State Street. New Haven is famous for it's thin crust brick oven pizza. People are known to take the train up from NYC for a pie. My personal favorite is Modern.

If you're into good beer and exceptional wings.....try Archie Moore's on Willow Street.......off exit 6 of I-91. The wings are absolutely fabulous. It's a great casual hangout.

For upscale, really nice italian there are several on Wooster Street........New Haven's Little Italy.

Enjoy your trip.

So Arron, my son Harlan graduated from Oberlin last May, Maybe you knew him, Harlan Fichtenholtz?

Anyway, in Hartford, you have Max Downtown, Peppercorns Grill, Civic Cafe and Hot Tomatoes.

Other Hardford county restaurants: Max a mia in Avon, Max Amore in glastonbury, Frog and the Peach in Canton.

In New Haven try Tibwin Grill and Hot tomatoes both near the Shubert Theater.

in Farifield County (Big Place) - Good News Cafe in Woodbury, Miramar in Westport, Bridge Cafe in Westport, Mayflower Inn in Washington, CT ( this maybe litchfield county).
